Dr. Grinspoon reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Dr. Grinspoon.
I've never tried Adderall but if I had to guess what it felt like, it would feel like this strain (but with more creativity mind you). If you are a lightweight like I am, YOU DO NOT NEED MUCH AT ALL. In fact I think if you were your average smoker, probably one bowl would do you plenty. I took only like two puffs of a joint and I couldn't take anymore. It is very, very strong. The strongest strain I have ever tried. And I've tried my fair share of strains. It's a complete head high. If you wanted to get creative or need to break through some writer's block, this strain will help you out. Throw on some Floyd and start writing. It's amazing. It really wakes you up. But be careful. If you are in the wrong setting such as a foreign country all by yourself, you can get quite anxious. I certainly did when I first tried it. But if you are at a get-together with friends it is fantastic. Dr. Grinspoon is truly the Holy Grail of strains. Don't pass up the chance to try it. It's truly one of a kind.
Fantastic; cerebral, creative, uplifting, inspiring -- best strain ever.

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!
This is a unique strain, takes longer than most to grow and its results are worth the wait. It's buds are tiny little balls with a slight hint of purple and little orange hairs. It's a pure sativa and has similar effects to haze strains only difference is it has a slight peppery pine flavour. Perfect for the daytime and for some deep creative thinking. Only downsides are because it takes such a long time to grow, you'll probably never get it outside of amsterdam

this powerful sativa first hits you with a long lasting peppery taste, it then seeps into you and and brings out your very best ideas, it’s like xp points for your brain. great for making surrealist art and reading history books
Was traveling with a good friend prior to US legalization in Amsterdam and Spain. We had a bit of everything with some 40% water hash and 12-15 kinds of flower. No matter what or how much we smoked - if you took even 3 tokes Of the DR. It stepped all over anything. The water hash we had was a very heavy indica and made us want to sleep if we were tired at all, toke Grinspoon and you were walk and explore. If I smoked a J myself it almost over amped me and got me nervous and I’m never nervous. It’s not something you would smoke daily at least not me, but it does get you high to the point of hallucination if overdone.
