I just bought and smoked this strain today for the first time. This is also my very first review on a strain-ever.
I suffer from R.A and PTSD induced anxiety, and every day is a coin flip to see which of the 2 will get the best of me.
My tolerance level is pretty average, a bowl pack or 2 is usually enough if not more than enough for a couple hours. I usually stick to Indica or Indica-Dominant Hybrids w/CBD. Sativa strains, majority of the time, make me have silent panic attacks and the only thing I can focus on is how hard or fast my heart is beating. I’m sure this is something everyone has experienced at least once- it’s not fun. Major buzzkill.
I’m 1 bowl deep, and I am impressed. This is truly a 50/50 ratio Hybrid. I’ve had a long day at work on my feet, it was hot as hell outside, and I’m very sleep deprived so my anxiety level was already elevated.
Mentally - I’m not focused on my heartbeat. I’m relaxed, calm, aware, and level-headed. Mentally, I am perfectly balanced. I’m not foggy. I can hold a conversation, definitely makes you sociable. I can focus on doing something instead of staring off into nothing and not paying attention to anything going on around me.
BUT. If I laid down in bed right now, it’s enough to help me drift off into some much needed sleep without not being able to shut my brain off (fingers crossed).
This is a good strain you can be proactive with, or just relax and chill with. Whichever you need it to be, and that’s the best part about it.
Physically- Usually after work once I sit down for longer than 15 minutes, my R.A takes hold and I’m inching when I stand back up because the pain of the day is setting in and is making me stiff. If I sit down, I plan to be in that spot for a hot minute.
I don’t feel nearly as much pain now than I did a half an hour ago when I smoked. I might actually be able to stand up like a normal person, and get ready for bed and prepare for tomorrow’s work-day after I’m done submitting this. I’m not stuck in my seat from being in pain, or from the high. My muscles are not tensed up anymore, jaw unclenched, shoulders dropped.
Feels good, man.
Taste- It has a strong earthy taste when you first light it up, and a skunky aftertaste. I most definitely have cotton mouth.
