Holy moly, anybody see the book long review!
Lifter CBD Flower from Aspen Valley, sourced from a local head shop. Sampled both from a portable dry herb vaporizor and from a clean glass bowl as noted below.
Short puff version:
Looks: Tight structure, bright green, bits of faint dark purple, dusting of white trichomes and clumps of orange brown pistils.
Smell: Common but pleasant, skunky funky pine that sticks around a long time.
Taste: Acceptable, floral, pine, burnt coffee.
Effects: Strongly relaxing and pleasantly uplifting, loosens the body and relieves the mind. Sativa energy buzz. Dry mouth and eyes with some munchies. Short duration.
Overall: Keep a glass of water handy and a window open. Quality is good. Probably will keep a stock for daytime use around the house.
Long rip version:
Appearance:
Tight and medium density buds are an inviting bright frosty green, with a few scattered hints of dark purple and a decent dusting of trichomes. Tons of orange brown hairs balance the green. The Lifter buds I recieved are small to medium in size but quality in growth and trim is evident. Moderately sticky and squishy they showcase solid genetics and a good but slightly dry cure. The contents of the jar look like a heavy 3.5 grams with a mix of smalls and a few medium nugs, I feel like I got some extra goodies, but I didn't check weight.
Smell:
Bag/Jar: Popping open the wooden lid from the glass jar, Lifter smells very subtle and soft, deep inhalations find herbal aroma, with pine that dominates over mint and tropical fruit. Fuel and earthy funk follow. More minty fruit and fuel is evident when buds are cracked. Lifter's appetizing scent is a welcome change from the hoppy/woody cbd flowers I've had in the past. It's not the loudest flower, the smell is familiar, subtle yet sharp, but it's quality is evident and the aroma is satisfying enough in both strength and quality. The jar with the wooden lid from Aspen Valley was not smell proof however, not even close, I could smell the contents while the jar was closed and the single 3.5 gram jar leaking was enough to fill the interior of my car with hempy pine and mint within 45 minutes.
Vaporizor: little to no smell but I question the quality of my vape.
Glass bowl: Skunk fans rejoice! When smoked this Lifter skunked up my 2 car garage for well over a half hour with just 5 hits! Skunky sweet sativa won't go unnoticed by anyone catching a sniff, it's pungent and unmistakably familiar and boy does it linger awhile! It's primarily skunk cloud is accented with a little coffee and sweet grassy fuel. Not discreet! Burning releases a potent skunk that sticks!
Taste:
Vaporizor: (392 and 410F) Wow! Lifter's delicious pine and a surprising sweet bubblegum grab me right away followed closely by mint and sweet and sour tropical fruit. Undertones of earth and sandalwood hang on the finish. I like it so much! Very tasty! It makes me want to keep puffing the vape just to taste it again!
Glass bowl: It's mind blowing how different the flavors are when smoked vs vaped! Powerfully floral, with sour fruit, woody pine, and intermittent sips of fuel, all layed over some prevailant astringent roast coffee/ dark chocolate undertones. Not my favorite flavor combinations in a bud but it was acceptable and the smoke was smooth so it was easy to take 5 hits or so in a row without any coughing or harsh throat hit.
Effects:
Vaporizor: (392 and 410F) It could be the questionable quality of my dry herb vape, but Lifter flower is somewhat understated when vaped, the effects take a few minutes to creep in. I noticed some brief and mild physical relaxation, with a very mild barely noticeable numbing body feel in my extremities. This bud hits mostly in the head with an uplifting sense of clear calm and happiness, a little bit of a dizzy head buzz, and enough sativa energy that I would label this as daytime use. Effects seem short-lived so I'm underwhelmed yet acceptably satisfied. This vaporized Lifter is good for a mood lift but probably less useful for someone seeking physical relief.
Glass bowl: Wow that's nice! This is Lifter's spotlight! Full effects hit in 3-5 minutes and land mostly in the head with some noted physical relaxation/loosening and faint numbing effects. Lifter feels very familiar, like an old friend. I feel my head swimming pleasantly with a happy and uplifted yet very clear buzz. I'm calm, clear, focused yet chill and feeling content to just lounge, but with a nice dose of familiar sativa energy in my chest. Mild appetite stimulation inconsistently appears, these munchies can be ignored fairly easily. Cotton mouth is annoyingly significant and increases with dosage and my eyes feel a little dry/red too. Again this bud is probably good for a daytime mood lift or a social event in the evening, I've enjoyed it first thing in the morning paired with coffee as well.
Overall:
Quality bud! I find myself reaching for Lifter more than my other buds until I need sleep. I can see Lifter becoming an all day, getting stuff done at home, staple in my routine...well, as long as I have a glass of water and nobody can smell what I'm doing.
I'm very happy I found this strain! the smoke is very sweet, and it doesn't make me hack up a lung! if you're new to the cannabis world, this is a good starter for you!
This is my first time smoking an actual CBD strain. I had always brushed CBD off, I thought "Oh, it doesn't get you high, what's the point?". So a buddy of mine turned me onto the stuff, and I think I am hooked. This strain itself, is incredible. I felt the surge of focus as soon as I inhaled it. It really is something else, my body feels great. And I just feel happy. It's a really good time and I can't recommend it anymore.
The first time I smoked this strain I didn't feel much of anything but after the 2nd Lifter smoke session I definitely started feeling the effects it was named after. I get a nice calm and slightly euphoric uplifting feeling and mood improvement. The ounce I ordered from Plain Jane was tested to have an 18.21% CBD level. I really prefer these more energizing CBD Hemp flower strains mostly due to the fact I have Sleep Apnea and often times feel drowsy during the day. I'm also prescribed Provigil and Lifter potentiates the effects of Provigil and makes it work better but at the same time it reduces some of the nervous inducing side effects of the medication. A great strain with very dense nugs!
I’ve been trying out CBD strains/ CBD dominate strains, because too much THC gives me paranoia or just causing me to green out. Lifter is a favorite because it gives that’s euphoric, giggly, good-mood feeling that your regular THC flower gives— without the side affects. One of the best 🤙🏽
Being new to hemp flower, I ordered a mystery sampler from Tweedle Farms and received Lifter as one of the strains. I've mix and matched since receiving the flower yesterday, and I am currently enjoying pure Lifter.
The smell and taste in earthy and pungent, with notes of fruit. The effects are uplifting compared to other strains I've tried, like Suzy Q and Special Sauce.
I thoroughly enjoy this strain, and definitely plan on getting a larger quantity in the near future. Thanks, Tweedle Farmsa
I got this strain locally grown as a budget oz. I am very impressed with this strain.
