I grew African Buzz (a special selection of Malawi Gold) and all I've got to say is... I really, really, really like this stuff. It grew easily. Had a mildew problem. This plant resisted better than any of the other strains growing. While flowering, the smell wasn't too strong, pretty easy to conceal if you just had one or two growing at home. It smelled like lemon Pledge and Bazooka Joe bubblegum... it's a weird combo, imagine smelling freshly cut lemongrass while chewing on that powdery pink gum you'd find in packs of hockey/baseball cards... that's very close. Not really my favourite smell but I can see how some would probably like this a lot. Overall, probably among the best weed I've smoked. No skunk/cat pee smell in here at all. Very easy smell to conceal if you'd have to try. Very sativa effect after about 10 minutes what feels like nothing. At first, you don't feel very high... but it guilds and builds. I feel pressure behind the eyes and a dry mouth. Energized but also relaxed (not sleepy). This stuff actually does a good job waking you up... like espresso coffee. I do feel my heart beating kinda faster but it isn't bad at all and it eases-up after another 10 minutes. No paranoia. This stuff always brings me to a wonderful place. Makes me feel so empathetic, happy, a little silly, playful and giggly. There is lots of euphoria in this high... feels like I could burst out laughing if someone would do something silly. This stuff will put a grin on your face and it will leave you functional... but I know I probably couldn't drive while on this. People around you will probably notice you are high when you're on this magical stuff. This weed doesn't make me hungry nor does it make me horny HOWEVER I just know that things like eating would feel good... so would listening to music... dancing would feel quite nice when on this. As for sex, this stuff makes me feel sensual rather than horny. Yeah... makes you want to have that "tantric" sort of sex. Generally speaking... this stuff accentuates pleasure, whatever that pleasure may be. One thing I wish this didn't do so well is destroy short-term memory. It's a very "having your keys in your hand while you're looking for them... all while forgetting what you were looking for in the first place" kinda weed. Amazing!!!

Very pleasant taste. Within the first 10-15 minutes, I felt completely relaxed. A few moments after that I felt a sudden sense of euphoria like someone had opened the window and a spring breeze had come through the air. My back went from having achy, sharp pains to being able to simply stand or sit without wincing. My shoulder and knees went from horrible movie excruciating pain to wanting play volleyball (sort of). When I thought it was mellowing out, after quite some time, I thought I needed more. I stood to get a drink only to feel that spring breeze all over again. Needless to say, the relief is pretty lasting.

This is a very good strain. I'm lucky I picked it because I didn't know how rare it is compared to other strrains. The first thing I noticed is the earthy taste. It's very different, in a good way, than other strrains I've tried. I naturally took a few pulls and stopped. The effects started to kick in gradually over a minute or two. The high gave me a feeling to do something. It is definitely a better day time strain. It also helps to stay focused and elevates stress and depression. I would definitely buy again and keep around to smoke earlier in the day. Tastes and feels awesome!

Purchased Golden Malawi from Shore Naturals LLC in Maryland. Beautiful, well cured buds. Smokes easy and is delicious. Pretty quick body high, followed by a creeper of an energetic head high. I find I can have great conversations on this strain, and feed off the mounting euphoria of connecting with others while on this bud. Highly recommend for daytime use, or social use.

Review for the strain "Equanimity" (Strawberry Chunk {Strawberry Cough ♀ x Deep Chunk ♂} ♀ x Heirloom Malawi ♂): I obtained a gram from Farma in Portland, OR. Tested at 29.7% THC. Grown "in house" by Newcleus, using "organic living soil" method. I have had my eye on this strain for some time, as I am always eager to try landrace genetics. I expected this to be a sativa dominant strain, however I was surprised to find that Farma lists this as a "relaxing" (indica-dom) strain, based upon their system that classifies strains based upon their effect vs more traditional sativa/hybrid/indica categories. This strain is phenomenal. I would describe this as a versatile day or nighttime indica. For its staggering potency, this strain is remarkably non-stupefying. I found myself clear-headed, while all anxiety melted away into a blissfully mellow, happy head space. Profound relaxation and physical ease is achieved without laziness or fatigue. The strain does carry the sativa-like ability to lift low spirits and obliterate depression, but without some of the more psychedelic/inside-your-head effects common to sativa strains, thus making conversation easy and not impacting short term memory and focus. Effects are fairly long-lived and there is no abrupt come-down/crash/burn-out. I have depressive tendencies along with (to a lesser extent) anxious tendencies, and I find that these issues are best helped by sativa-dom and indica-dom strains, respectively. Few strains are able to tackle both these issues with equal effectiveness. Therefore, I tend to prefer the sativas, but I sometimes am looking for an indica to specifically target and melt away my anxiety. The problem is that in some instances indicas can take me too low and aggravate my depression or leave me feeling too tired, unmotivated, and too heavy to do anything but eat everything in sight and then pass out. For these reasons, I find the aptly named Equanimity to be the best "indica-dom" strain to mellow me out, ease anxiety, and lift my spirits. It's unique traits make it suitable to use anytime throughout the day (even morning). For me, I would not hesitate to use this strain before work, school, social activities, or exercise - it is perfect, but probably not the best strain if you're looking to put your brain on the frying pan or induce a mini-coma to combat insomnia. I find the flavor/aroma fairly unremarkable, other than that it is an exceptionally smooth, pleasurable smoke. But it is a visually stunning flower, absolutely caked in glistening trichomes. Just beautiful. I will definitely be heading back out to Farma to stock up on some more before it runs out. Exceptional!

Great for a day time smoker, who has things to get done. This strain has a very piney smell and flavor, tastes delicious and gives you a strong head high with a nice calm body high. Amazing strain for making conversation, being outgoing, or if you just want to settle down and get some work done or watch a few episodes late at night haha. Highly recommend. Purchased from Peninsula Alternative Health in Salisbury Maryland!
