Okay. Second time I’m reviewing this because I got distracted, came back to finish and all my work was gone.
That is a review all on its own!
First note: I’m reviewing Cresco Reserve Joliet Jake Live Budder. Google search has Leafly redirecting to Sugar Plum Sunset and they both list the same parent strains, so I’m thinking a name change, but just thought I should mention.
This is my first budder and the consistency was not what I expected. Instead of a “buttery” consistency, it was more like clumpy Parmesan cheese. I don’t know if that’s good/bad/normal or what, but it made loading more difficult tha a sugar or shatter would be.
Once I loaded a piece the size of bb pellet, I got a good 8 - 10 hits off it. After 4, I was happy and relaxed and started writing the review. After 6 I got distracted and lost the review. 3 hours later, finished it off and am now going to finish the review, I hope.
Taste: woodsy, earthy kush flavor with a slight diesel aftertaste. Nothing unpleasant at all.
Effects: immediately calming. It took my anxiety from a 7 to a 2 in less than 5 minutes. Additional puffs provided a kind of couch lock that had me on Twitter for hours just randomly following from one topic to the next. Engaged, but no attention span. The additional puffs are also when I saw the pain relief with my sciatica. That went from a 5 to zero - very impressive!
All in all this is a great strain for anxiety and pain relief. It did not produce a euphoric, happy or giggly effect, which I was hoping for, too, but I’ll try not to be too greedy! :)
