I picked this up from Northeast Alternatives in Massachusetts. I have been using Cannabis for 20 years, quite heavily for the first 15 years of use. Over 2 years ago I began to experience strong anxiety whenever I used blackmarket cannabis that wasn't from the Chem Dog lineage. I didn't have access to any dispensaries and I couldn't regularly rely on my other connections for good Chem Dog lineage strains while my anxiety (related to a really hard period of my life) continued to rise. I ended up stopping all cannabis use over 2 years ago. Fast forward to July 4th 2020 and my life has changed drastically since I quit using cannabis. I had removed myself from the source of what was giving me anxiety and I am starting to begin to live my life again. I realized I could now go buy weed legally from a dispensary and be able to chose exactly what I am getting. My reintroduction to cannabis was beautiful and I have been using one gram a week, loving it. Sometimes Northeast Alternatives doesn't have much of a selection of flower offered in grams. Last week was like that and I was faced with a choice between two modern strains: Zsweet Inzanity and Platinum Cake (the cake reviewed elsewhere). I have been very hesitant to mess with modern cannabis strains ignorantly believing that the peak of cannabis breeding happened in the 90s and the modern strains of today are washed out, homogenous uninteresting plants with not good effects. Boy was I wrong. Zsweet Inzanity's lineage is incredible. When I got it home the gram was 2 nice smaller nugs with 1 real big fire nugget, perfect. The bud structure was great, good calyxes like velcro with dark red hairs and an extreme crust of trichomes. The smell was very similar to the GSC I had picked up a week or two early: kind of a sour/sharp citrus with undertones of fuel/glue/skunk. The taste was similar to the aroma and also had the expansive flavor of a high TAC (total active cannabinoids) content of ~27%. The effects were very creeper and very strong. 5-10 minutes in the high begins in the frontal lobe as a stoney euphoric relief. The effects also radiate from the chest and thighs. The high continues to climb and climb over the course of 30-45 minutes. It really was unique cannabis in how powerful the effect is. Perfect for depression and anxiety which is what I am now using cannabis to help with. No longer am I worried about being sent into a fit of anxiety. The Zsweet is great medicine and I am so happy to have finally shed the old way of thinking, modern cannabis breeding is going in amazing directions!

I've been using cannabis for 20 years but in 2018 I stopped because my life was in such shambles every time I got stoned I became overwhelmed with all that was wrong. Now over 2 years later after a huge change I decided I'd like to try smoking again. I had never bought weed legally and took the trip up to Northeast Alternatives 6 weeks ago. I have tried 6 different strains from Northeast Alternatives, 4 of them grown in house. All the strains I have tried have been absolutely great but the in house grown strains from Northeast are FIRE! I can only afford to buy a gram a week and that is also the perfect amount for me these days. Sadly NEA doesn't often have a good selection of strains in gram amounts when I pick up on Fridays. I could solve that issue if I just went there and picked up when I see they have a selection on a Monday or Tuesday, but I digress. Before my weed break I believed the only strains of weed that jived well with me were from the Chem Dog line. I now have let go of that old way of thinking thats to Northeast Alternatives and their fire in-house bud. The Platinum Cake is your perfect high grade. It looks great, feels great, smells great and tastes AMAZING. The high is so relaxing and also euphoric. I experience NO anxiety or paranoia from Platinum Cake no matter what dosage and I am quite prone to anxiety. Usually since my rediscovery of weed I take one nice hit and that is all for a couple hours but I just want to keep smoking the Platinum Cake it is so good. It also helped me get to sleep without any pharm sleep aids which is amazing. I was so worried that I wouldn't like Platinum Cake, but all my worries were for not. This is some of the best I have ever smoked in my life. If I could have a free ounce and I had to chose from the 6 FIRE strains (Pre98 B.Kush, Stardog, Glueball, GSC, Zsweet Inzanity and Platinum) I have tried since getting back into weed, I would take the Platinum Cake.
