A classic for a reason, Skywalker provides a great, relaxing body high -- usually accompanied by a light tingle all over with minimal haziness in the head -- that is great for relaxing but which doesn't (usually) knock one out. (I've noticed that some purveyors insist Skywalker is a solid indica, with others calling it a hybrid. Mine comes from "True Humboldt" with testing showing 18.13% THC and 0.04% CBD). Skywalker comes on quickly but not overly strongly. Obviously this depends on method of ingestion (I'm smoking flower) and quantity ingested, but I find Skywalker permeates my being in a magical way: gradual and perceptible, the Skywalker high is strong yet gentle. (Insert joke about The Force here.)

What a unique and special strain! In some ways, this strain is more Sativa-like than many pure Sativa's because the high is so cerebral, creative, happy, sociable, talkative; and, because the corresponding body high is so minimal: No discernable sleepiness, heaviness, or inertia. I can be productive and focused if I need to be, or playful and creative (which is what I generally roll with). This magical herb I smoked -- from RedwoodRoots Family -- provided a high with a relatively short life compared to most strains, and gradual, lovely come-down. Perfect for a social occasions and creative activities. 22.38% THC.

I've read around a lot about this strain. "exotic" and "connoisseur" strain are the common descriptors. The effect it has on me is anything but exotic or special. I'm alert, attentive, and focused. So there's a good deal of energy that is easily harnessed for the task at hand. The body high compliments this as its a distinct 'buzzing' without being anxious or fidgety. What I most note it for, however, is the face tingling. Might exacerbate dry-eyes. And its a creeper: smoke the quantity you normally do, but give it twice the usual time to reach full speed. It also may cause you to breath fire; scales are a common side effect.

The XJ13 I've been smoking (from a bubbler) is very smooth, mild-smelling, and earthy tasting. What is magical: XJ13 is quick to relax me, and I'd say its mostly a cerebral relaxing. There is a body mellow to it as well, but -- and this is what I like about it -- my body is still high functioning. Body agility and mental clarity are both positive hallmarks of this lovely strain. What I'm not in love with is the head-buzz it gives me, which often-but-not-always feels like a low-level headache accompanied by a vaguely uncomfortable pressure behind the eyes. Still a very strong 4 star strain in my humble opinion, and given its popularity, these side effects may be distinctive to me.

I remember smoking these in Amsterdam way back in ' '92 at a breakfast joint. My buddy and I had a great day exploring on foot. It was like our inquisitive and playful natures were just turned on high, while allowing us to relax and enjoy whatever the day wafted our way. Magical. And who cares. WW starts me off with an uplifting feeling that gets me talkative, and then settles in with a definite body (indica) buzz that wraps around me like a very light blanket. The overall effect is a 'chill' one (w/out being sleepy at all). I've noticed that it has quite a range: If I micro dose with it, my high is immediate without being intense, and short lived with a gradual tapering off. This makes it perfect for a brief, contained gear-shift. If I smoke or vape a significant amount, however, I get a powerful, indica-like body buzz that lasts a long time... And delivers a cerebral sativa uplift. Luv this gal.

In many ways a 5 star strain for me, ISS brings to me an intensity and clarity that I rarely find. It brings me a euphoric experience that doesn't prevent me from being productive. Its quite magical. But ISS also comes with the high cost of a heavy head. It makes my head feel twice as heavy. Its weird... but not a buzz kill either.

A strain that strikes me as mediocre at best, Grape Ape affects me only mildly: mild relaxation, mild sleepiness. I should add that I generally use Indica to help me sleep, which is by no means the only thing Indica is good for. Perhaps its magic is lost me; perhaps I need a better distributor. I know people speak of a heavy, sedative body intoxication, but I have not experienced that. Hope this helps!

I love the name, and I think it's totally appropriate. This strain feels like I'm "bi-winning". To be honest, its not my favorite strain because it speeds me up in ways that aren't always comfortable. Definitely a day-time smoke, and in the right situation -- anything that engages your adrenaline, be it sex, an action movie, or reading -- its magical. Hope this helps!

This bud really is the jedi-master of cozy. Yoda's Brain replaces the day's frustrations with magical, nap-time vibes. I enjoy being awake with this buzz and I also really enjoy it right before I get in bed. Comes with a wicked dry mouth.

A magical blend of indica and sativa, this strain defines mellow. Neither energetic nor lazy, the buzz from Red Dragon is what I would call adaptive: if you need to get something done, you'll be able to; if you've got nothing but zone-ing out on your to-do list, you'll achieve contentment riding this. (It might have a hint of horny.) I gave 4 stars because the rides are noticeably on the short side. (buy more ;)
