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”.

Skunk #1 shaped nugs with a forest lime and forest green nugs pink and amber hairs, completely covered with Trichs. a mix of slight cabbage structure with the substance of a chem strain making it fluffy but in the best of ways. Colas smaller at the base bulbous through the middle and tapered at tip the sometimes has beautiful foxtailing that it is well known for. For those who grow it can put off 3-4 lbs per 1000w hps. Along with Chem it is the stankiest strain I have had the luck to smoke. Lemon skunk diesel chemical funk with a slight spice. Perfect for summer days hanging out with the friends. one of the strongest super sativas if not the strongest, maybe second to super silver diesel but way better imo. It has that perfect vibe. Not to be confused with EVERY other cut of Sour D. This is not just far better but the origin of all the others. If you were lucky enough to have had it grown In Western MA then you know how special this strain is. TurtleDog413

How I love me some diesel! So I was excited to try the East Coast variety today when I visited my little happy place, Bluepoint Wellness dispensary in CT. While it was a bit harsh for me on the uptake, the sweet sweet exhale was crisp and right-on — a true diesel at heart.. full-on earthy and lemony-citrus. Agree that this one is best-left to the 'ol timers, and it's definitely not for those with cannabis-induced anxiety. (+ I specify bc I have general, social anxiety.. as well as ptsd + trauma dreams.) Def recommend for fellow diesel-lovers (with a tolerance!) 👍🏽👍🏽☮

This is what a Sativa should be! I just want to explore or do something active, even in bitterly cold weather. ECSD has to be one of the most happy experiences that I've had the pleasure to try. In truth I'm a Sativa fan and this one does not disappoint. I love the euphoric and very uplifting effects. Do not smoke this if you plan on sleeping any time soon. Thank you ganja gods.

I was a huge Jack Herer fan but it started affecting my anxiety badly. So I decided to switch to Blue Dream. Total game changer, I felt great. I went to pick up another cart of blue dream but all medical dispensaries in the area were out. My friend told me to try ECSD, I didn’t like regular SD in the past. But I figured I’d give ECSD a shot. I’m amazed by this strain. It’s like the best of the best from Jack and Blue dream. 3 hits off my vape and my mood went from poor to fantastic. Also helps with body aches. I don’t know if it’s the formula, I bought this at Northeast Alternatives in Fall River; I’m a heavy user. 1/2gram cart will usually last me 2 days at the most. This lasts longer, it’s their brand. I can get 4-5days out of this cart vs. others. Lastly, unlike other carts I’ve tried that tend to wear off quick. This keeps you medicated for a good 2hrs, some other vapes wear off fast. I’m so glad I tried this!!

Break out the coffee, newspaper, or online news (or whichever you trust). This immediately puts me into a clear, responsible, and somewhat relaxed 'heady' high, ready for me to relieve pain and stay focused with every morning that I give it a nod. Focused is the word here. Not cloudy, nor rattled by anxiety or pulsating heart rhythms. Not worried by what may come this day, but a nice, clear buzz without anxiety. Blood pressure stays normal, which is not the case will all sativas, just don't over do it. As an Indica fan I praise this strain for it's ability to keep one maintained with eyes on the prize, yet leaving you feeling like you just had a most peaceful morning, assuming you don't use too much of this fine medicine. Mine cured for about 5 months, giving a most pleasant smoothness, with trichomes bursting out of every pore. After a month or so it still smelt like fresh cut grass, but with many months of curing it became a top-shelf strain, worthy of the same bud than wins top-dog at many competitions. It was more like candy after a 5 month cure. If you are lucky like me you will get some fresh-cut bud that you can cure yourself to make it worthy of 10 stars, otherwise it is much like anything else that you get commercially, without proper curing. Either way this has potential to become the next best thing in the Sativa world. Much luck with this strain, and much Love!
