Again, another great experience! I wrote a review a couple months ago expressing how impressed with the the service and quality. I had the privilege of ordering some edibles and they were great! They make me wish I lived closer!
A little background, I was anti-cannabis for quite some time, though I smoked it when I was in my late teens a bit, I was programmed by the media and government that it was bad and evil. A few years ago my eldest son and I were listening to a talk radio show and the topic surrounded the legalization of cannabis in certain states. Though my son had questions about it I really didn't know what to tell him. So after that I started doing my own research. As most if not all of you realize, though anything can be used for "bad", I found that natural cannabis, not the synthetic garbage, is very good for us, that our bodies possess receptors created just for cannabinoids. The healing potential is incredible.
It was Dr. Grinspoons own testimony that began opening my eyes. A scientist himself and a friend of the brilliant Carl Sagan, he would debate with Carl Sagan at how bad cannabis was for him and was always trying to persuade Carl from smoking it. The fact that Dr. Grinspoon did the research and found the incredible benefits that persuaded him to change course on the subject helped me do the same. When I found out that a strain was dedicated to the Dr., I began researching this particular heirloom strain, and found that it was an incredible delight. I have been on a mission since then, a few years now, to find this strain. I was even willing to go out of state to get it since I could never find it in my own MMJ state. Fortunately a dispensary fairly local to me advertised that they had some in stock and I was on the phone immediately!
I have to say, not only was I impressed with this strain, I was amazed by it. I'm not sure if it is just the strain that was so great or if how it was grown added to the incredible look, smell and effect of this flower but I have to say it was the best I have ever had! I'm had AK-47, Jack Herer, some of the diesel variants, and they were all great! But this was over the top for me!
The look was beautiful, with the small budletts and the glistening trichromes reflecting beautiful colors. The smell made my head spin! The incredibly strong citrus smell with the balanced earthy skunk aroma had me imagining myself laying down in a field surrounded by it. I found myself sniffing it for about a minute before putting it down. The taste, for me, was so enjoyable. I say that because I usually don't "taste" the cannabis much since I smoke cigars frequently and my taste buds are bent, but I could savor this smoke and I enjoyed all of it. The affect, well, I had heard it was euphoric and heady. In fact some things I read warned to be careful due to the strength of this strain and to watch out for paranoia. Maybe I didn't smoke enough of it to get to that point but I have to say, the euphoric and intellectual effect of Dr. Grinspoon was incredible and I had no real "paranoia". I did get a bit thrown off balance at times due to the strength, similar to some other strong strains I have tried. The euphoric affects lasted a good two hours or so and though I was foggy coming down, I finished clear headed for the most part. This will be my goto buddy for day time use, if I can continue to find it!
