P........s

Love this strain!! I feel as if I have to use a lot of marijuana to relieve my anxiety, depression, pain, muscle spasms and relieve my unrelenting insomnia - even after I've taken my regularly prescribed handful of medications (pills), several of which cause drowsiness. I originally started smoking this in leaf form out of a glass bowl, but then broke down and spent the money on a good quality vaporizer. I don't really notice any specific flavors or anything else special about the taste of it. That is most likely due to my newness in the cannabis world as a patient. I know a lot of people love to talk about the color, scent, flavor, etc. I'm just not there yet. I'm honestly just looking for the most effective weed at the best prices (this was $20/gram, $65/eighth). What I do know, and all that I really care about, is that it does a fantastic job of helping me feel incredibly good!! I packed my brand new PAX 3 vaporizer with this and within 3 draws on the vape, I could feel myself becoming very relaxed, unbothered by life's current problems and the chronic back/neck/hip pain melt away - I have no idea where it went, and I really didn't care!! I went to bed, put FRIENDS on Netflix as usual and when my husband came home about 30 minutes later, he found me in bed with my reading glasses on, a square of Ghirardelli chocolate laying on my chin and my phone resting on my chest. This is good stuff!! I only wish it was less expensive. As far as any negatives, the only one I can really talk about (because I went to bed immediately after using), is the one that I get when I use ANY marijuana and that's dry mouth. I sleep through the entire night and when my husband is home after I use it, we have fun but short conversations (because I fall asleep). I wish this strain was available all the time at my local dispensary. And, although it's more expensive than some other strains, I don't have to use as much to get the effect I'm looking for.

I was left very disappointed with this strain. After reading all of the reviews on Leafly, I went to my local dispensary and purchased a gram as well as an 1/8th. My initial letdown began when I opened the jar and noticed that the buds were large, but dry and crumbly. However, I held onto the hope that when I used it, I would get that "delicious, red Bubbalicious" flavor that nearly everyone talks about. I use a PAX 3 to vape flower only. Once in a while, I'll use a bowl to smoke some Sativa during the day because I keep my vape packed with a good Indica for evening use. Either way, I don't get much of anything - absolutely zero bubblegum flavor, somewhat relaxed, not at all uplifted and/or giggly; and as for my favorite effect, euphoria, it was about a 4 on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm hoping that I just got a bad batch. Of the 6 different strains that I purchased that day, they all were dry, crumbly, contained a lot of thick stems (which weigh a lot when you're only buying a gram) and not as sticky as usual, except for an 1/8th of another brand, which contained a moisture pack of some sort. I've read on Leafly that a piece of orange peel kept inside of the jars will help with the dry, crumbly texture. So, I'm going to try that with my next batch that's dry. Overall, considering EVERYTHING about this strain, I give it a TOTAL of 3 out of 5 stars. And when I'm paying $20/gram $65 for an 1/8th, it needs to be AT LEAST a 4 out of 5, for me.

This dispensary is brand new to the Reading area and has only been open for a little over a month or so. Because of this, they are short staffed with limited hours/days that they're open; they're also limited on the strains & amounts of flower they have on hand, therefore often selling out by the end of the week. With that being said, I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be helped when I went in. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The pharmacist, Stephanie, is very knowledgeable and patient when I have questions. You really wouldn't know that this dispensary isn't fully staffed yet, except for the limited days they are open. If you're in the area and are looking for a bright, clean, friendly, knowledgeable dispensary to get your medicine, I highly recommend Harvest of Reading on 5th Street Highway.
