When doing reviews on Leafly I do a broad overview of my feelings on each strain. A full view of the strain based on a culmination of the many different experiences not broken down by each different percentage or dispensary. In fact when first putting reviews on this site I would list all the dispensaries (sometimes 9 or 10) at bottom when asked for more details finally realizing they only posted the first one. Rarely is there is a huge discrepancy in my opinion of a strains qualities & character so why be redundant.
Feels like most users with profiles on Leafly feel this way or else there would be 10 reviews by same person for different dispensaries under the same strain. There are not. Now what does all this have to do with Blue Magoo? This herb challenges the notion that it is possible to make such generalizations with discriminating between the very sub par to some of the finest weed I've smoked.
Maybe being spoiled with having some really dank BM with a terpene extravaganza almost beyond description my first few tries let me see this. Thick luscious smoke tasting of sweet fruits, mainly blueberries, honeysuckle, and creamy smoothness that lulled me into pain free sleep. Being a time in my life of extreme emotional & physical discomfort this cannabis was a side kick who had my back. Metaphor, not pun, back pain was not the issue =P
Fast forward six months when fate brings BM back into my life. With great delight riding a wave of nostalgia of that superb flavor that is really awesome being almost indescribable, but it wasn't there. It was like biting into a hamburger, but only getting bun when you're really hungry. Trying to get out of a room with no exit when you've got tickets & the show started five minutes ago. Would have been devastating had the buzz which was powerful in relaxation not stayed consistent holding its own clout.
After several more rounds with this strain it has come to my attention that I am a "terpene whore". They make the high what it is when coupled with cannabinoids in perfect unison with their absence leaving even high percentage flower lame. Each time smoking lame Magoo the review would go three stars down. Tending to the positive side of things & also being that we are cannabis community so better to foster the relationships forged. It doesn't seem right to point out each time sub par versions are tried with a different review.
It is just the system which could be set up much better Leafly =) Thank you for the forum though it is very appreciated just feel the need to express how my reviews are crafted for better understanding to my audience. Blue Magoo just so happens to be the bud that points out such things being such an amazing flower with all its terpene grandeur. Just be warned that sometimes it can be grown in manner that leaves it stripped of this which no matter how much THC leaves something to be desired. It truly does take a village (entourage effect).....
