I recently moved from a state where MJ is still criminalized to a state where it's recreationally legal...so as you can imagine, as a smoker, I'm like a kid who got teleported to live in Disney World where every day is Christmas. I've been trying as many strains as possible, and my most recent was GG4. I actually found this strain to be a little underwhelming, given all of the glowing testimonials, but its still a potent flower.
The overwhelming scent when I broke the seal on the 1/4 was pine...I got some faint citrus and floral notes, as well. The first thing I noticed was that these nugs were COATED in trichs...they looked like flocked Christmas trees. When I got into them with my scissors, it was clear that the buds were just saturated with resin...this strain's namesake, I guess. It provided a pleasant-tasting, mellow smoke, which surprised me...I expected something harsher based on how resinous the buds are. Tastes piney with a hint of citrus.
The high is mellow, for me. I must have gotten bud with a lower THC content than everyone else on this site...I didn't get head-blasted or couchlocked. Just a nice, smooth, paranoia-free high. I'll put it this way - I just learned to drive a standard. Not too great at it yet. When I smoked Romulan, I couldn't even start the car. On GG#4, I drove better.
Even though most recommend it for bedtime, this is actually going to be my everyday smoke...at least while its available. Seriously considering purchasing a zip just to have it around! Plus, scraping the trichs off of my scissors and saving up a little pile of poor man's hash is a great bonus!
