I was a non-believer. I figured all of this talk about different strains for different issues was total BS, just another excuse to get high. Until I had the Sweet Isle Skunk. I am a 52 year old private equity professional on Wall Street, suffering from extreme neurological pain in my feet and legs. Nobody can figure it out, been to a half dozen specialists. My high-end concierge MD, finally gave up on all the terrible things we were trying (like real narcotics) and said we should try the cheeba. I have been trying different strains, and sure when I am on them my legs don't bother me. But I can't get anything done. Until Sweet Island. I did some in a pre-filled vape pen yesterday and it was like I was in this perfect zone of pain relief and great motivation. I am writing all of this so that if you are like me, initially a huge skeptic, maybe I can save you some time. Stop thinking about this subject in the way it has been force fed to you. Use your head, try it out, tell a friend. We all know people who would be better off with this plant if they could just get over themselves. I did.

Had me saying "Dis be some good shit here, mon" in a Bob Marley voice with a great big f-cking smile on my face about 15 mins in. Sooooo smooth. Go easy, she sneaks up on you in a major way. You *think* you're there, but you're not! Not yet! And it just... keeps... getting... better. Wow. Perfect for movie/music/cleaning/getout/whatever. Motivated but laid back, if that makes any sense. Everything's just beautiful, mon! Seriously, this is *precisely* the kind of ganja you'd expect to smoke in Jamaica or somewhere tropical. Just enough of the Skunk heritage here that the pain packs its bags along with you. You can practically feel the pain, stress and worry just slip away into the deep orange and crimson sunset as you watch the waves roll in on your own personal Sweet Island Skunk paradise.

Island Sweet Skunk will never, ever, put you to sleep. Plan on being active because it's impossible to sit still on it. Sweet Island Skunk will put you on the couch. These 2 are completely different strains.
