The strain is fine - however when its fresh. The special $40 bud was grown is MAY and they're still pushing it out close to full price- $5.00 off still comes to $43.00 after tax for medical. Mohave is fire but not as fire when its dry.

At 12:45pm I started smoking my first bowl of GG5.. I really didn’t think I was going to get high because I’m such a heavy smoker, so I started taking more and more hits, not feeling it yet mr. crabs. I took about 5 more hits and changed bongs even, I didn’t feel it.. and I was like wow this is shit, and then after taking 3 more hits I am high as a mother fucker. I cannot believe how high I am right now. This shit made me think it wasn’t gonna work. I am now writing this at 12:55pm and I’m very happy that I am high. This strain makes me feel relaxed, happy, and makes me feel like I have no idea what the fuck I’m doing. Overall 10/10 but I wish it got me high quicker. I am gonna smoke some more. Peace out stoners ✌🏻

Me and my friends opinion is that it is very leg heavy, lowers anxiety and it also leaves a blanket of relaxation pulsating through the whole body especially down towards lower region of body. This high very potent, and is meant for sleep or a chill night. Be careful with this one with high tolerances!

Having tried GG1 and GG4 several times, I was surprised to find out much different Gorilla Glue #5 was to its predecessors. The genetic makeup of this plant truly speaks wonders to its character, with Chem's Sister and Chocolate Diesel already raining strong in the THC levels. The buds were of small and mid range, but packing a tight flower exterior, almost like holding slightly softer Moon Rocks. The flavor is 100% as described, with the word "pungent" being almost an understatement. In person, I would describe this to be along the level of a wet, planty, earthy, tang that sort of leaves you wondering if the exhale will be similar. Upon cracking open the flower, the smell of tangy/fuel/sweet completely engrossed the previous smells, making for a delightful adventure for my nostrils. This reminded me almost of a diesel type strain, but I could tell it wasn't. Smoking the flower via Raw Papers, the flavor of the tangy earth really soaked through, leaving a nice aftertaste full of earthy yumminess. Halfway through my 1 gram joint, I debated putting it out because the high was beginning to set in at a pace that was unexpected. However, I noticed that it never creeped over the silver lining into the realm of "too high", so I kept on keeping on. At the end of my 1 gram joint, I sat down to write this review and felt extra-stimulated in wanting to write a descriptive review. It was almost as if my memory of just-passed events was stronger. Not overstimulating. A floaty body high with a similar "bloated" head feeling; which is sort of warm and nice to me, honestly. Ready to hop on YouTube and fall into a hole of videos until I get bored. Could possibly hop on the train and catch some sort of food and wine festival. Even wouldn't mind if a friend stopped by for a chill session. Feel like I could focus if the topic was interesting enough, I wouldn't consider myself to be too high to function socially. Although, looking in the mirror, I do look high. No red eyes. Could be my tolerance. Anyway, I could go either way with this one. Don't feel too lazy, don't feel too energized. A good, classic, well rounded high. I would definitely recommend GG5 to anyone who's looking to unwind, for any lifestyle.

It's apparently a 70:30 sativa-dominant Burns 10/10 huge bowl=no cough Looks 9.7/10 dense, cured well High (70:30 sativa-dominant) 9.8/10 potent and lasting Smell 9.6-9.8/10 tones are amazing, is a notch above smelly-in-general but isn't crazy loud, pungent earthy/diesel/chem+flowery. Lots of it grinded smells brightly of citrus-diesel-flower, like snorting a flower petal that soaked in lemon juice, except it wasn't lemon juice Taste 10/10 like weed, I don't know, I didn't eat the shit, tf It's not anywhere near "overwhelming" for me (smoking 10+ years) but I can say with 97% certainty it would be for a new/sometimes user as they'd be just swimming in their head. Users like me - it's a 1-2 bowl and you're lit. It's head-heavy. GG1+GG4=GG5, which makes you feel like time and space is distorted and even somewhat visually. Zippy-lit feeling like the strain Gods Green Crack minus the insanity/paranoid effects/more clear but equally or more fucked up. Not dusted in kief but there are lots of medium-to-large shiney trichomes everywhere, lots of orange hairs. Mine was approx 1% leafy but those few were 70% covered in kief too, even orange hairs wrapped around it. Fire strain from lineage to couch. I would recommend it for sleeping/eating/movies and maybe pain management to take your mind off it, it obviously doesn't have so much a body stone as a 60:40 indica. I think it's a good wake n bake if you have nothing to do later. If you want something with the same "holy shit I'm high" feeling without the insane cerebral boost than try AK47 as it's a 65:35 sativa, it's just ever so slightly more uplifting & euphoric and comes with a stronger body stone/glow. Don't smoke if you're easily paranoid, get dizzy or have been drinking alcohol (it'd be a terrible combo - something else - but not this).

The ONLY reason I rate Gorilla Glue #5 a 4/5 is because I smoked 3 whole bowls and I was dead asleep in 10 minutes, thus leaving me clueless as to how the high hit. I’ll update my review if I can manage to stay awake after smoking it lol
