ECSD

So I picked up some ECSD at Highwire Farms in Adrian, Michigan. Grown by Grand Crossing. I've been smoking since high school in 1998 and Sour Diesel is an obviously legendary strain, which means there's a lot of stuff that's proclaimed to be Sour D that isn't, but I was pleasantly surprised by this cut of ECSD. I think it's the real thing, the terps are exactly as I've always heard Sour Diesel described - grapefruity diesel/gas fumes mixed with lemony nail polish remover fumes, turned up to 11; just citrusy and gassy AF, strongly suggesting the Chem Dog lineage popularly ascribed to the original Sour D from the 90s and 2000s. It tastes like citrus gas when I smoke it and it brings the strongest aftertaste of sour patch kids. I love the terps and the taste, but the high is what has established this ECSD as my favorite strain, ever; sativas are my first love in cannabis, and this ECSD absolutely blows my head off in the most stony and psychedelic way...yet the ECSD also brings this sense of zenlike calm, where I'm totally fine with how stoned I am. A lot of strong sativas are racy but ECSD is not; in my experience it doesn't even increase my heart rate. It's just the perfect sativa high IMO, it's strong & stony, psychedelic, peaceful and zen-like, and it lasts for hours. More companies need to be growing the ECSD in legal states, it's a legitimate contender to be one of the greatest sativas ever.

My East Coast Sour Diesel is sun grown by Bloom Farms & it contains 24% THC. This strain uplifts mood, gives energy rush, & provides a happy body buzz. The buds are pine green with light brown pistils & are covered in fine crystal trichomes. The scent & flavor is diesel, lemon, & citrus. 3 out of 5 stars (average) because expected the strain to be pungent & spicy & it was actually pretty mellow. Buds have plenty of stem. The high is good but, short lived. Nice for a wake & bake. Paid $30 for the eighth so, I got what I paid for. Stay Elevated :)

East Coast Sour Diesel??? Yes, please! My favorite. It’s a morning, afternoon, and early evening medicine extraordinaire! I can always count on ECSD to motivate me while instilling a sense of calmness and energy - in balance, with very nice mood lifting effects. Some people seem to be mentioning paranoia. While I have not experienced it, being that sativa is involved, it is a known effect. For me, it is incredibly reliable for controlling nerve pain, fibromyalgia, and other types of pain - without dulling the senses. (overconsumption can take you to a state of spaciness and lacking motivation) For most people, I would not recommend ECSD as a late night medicine. I don’t find it sleepy, nor do I find it speedy. It’s a bright, clear, beautiful, and balanced feeling. If you need help with nausea/ appetite, I recommend it for that as well. You can definitely get hungry with ECSD, so, if you can, try to keep plenty of delicious and healthy snacks on hand. I can enjoy going out without feeling any social anxiety and have a great time,or stay in while relaxing and calmly getting things done, listening to music, reading, contemplation, writing, sketching, painting, or other creative endeavors. This one just has so much going for it. I love, love, love it. It’s on the very top of my list, and I wouldn’t change a thing about it. PS - Just wanted to note that I have also tried the D8: D9 version of ECSD and I do not recommend it for those who love the traditional strain of this. I am NOT a fan as I found it too mild for my tolerance, and besides, why mess with perfection? To me, the D8: D:9 felt akin to ECSD “lite”.
