Pineapple Express

I didn't think this strain would live up to the movie hype but it did. it's one of the longer lasting strains of course it tastes like pineapple.

Makes me feel normal...

I cannot say enough about this strain. Holy shit. This is my new favorite strain. I got a gram of this for free as a first-time patient at a local dispensary, and I am SO glad I grabbed this instead of the Indica I was looking at right next to it. For one thing, the smell and flavor are on point. Pineapple Express lives up to its tropical, fruity-sounding name; each hit brought a strong taste of a tropical fruit cocktail, with earthy/woody undertones to even out some of the sweetness. It hits VERY smoothly (through a bong at least), and is an all-around pleasant smoke. Typically I like to vent my room well after I smoke weed, since the smell can linger a bit much, but I don't mind the lingering scent of this strain; it really is quite sweet and fruity. Reminds me of smoking cannabis in paradise! When I smoked this, I smoked it out of the relatively large bowl of my brand-new bong. I'd only smoked out of it once before, and I only smoked maybe half a bowl, since that's all I had left in my grinder at the time. It was some God's Gift, so it hit me pretty fast and knocked me out; was a great high though, and that being my first time ever smoking out of a bong and having such a great experience, I was super excited to try this new strain (a popular one of Hollywood fame) for the first time using a bong. It was Friday night, after work, and Friday nights are usually my stoner nights where I get high and let my stress of the week burn away with the bowl... therefore, I packed a pretty full bowl. The bowl wasn't even finished and I was gone. And by gone, I mean off in another dimension, another pocket of time separate from that of the rest of the world. One minute seemed like ten, it seemed like I was floating in a blissful, carefree cloud. My body was totally relaxed, but my mind was active, flying free. It. Felt. Amazing. I was completely separated from my pain, completely separated from the stress of the work week. I was existing in my own little paradise without a care in the world (which is absolutely, insanely remarkable considering how I am usually in a constant state of anxiety over everything ever). I pushed myself to polish off the bowl and I am so glad I did, because this feeling only grew. I was super fucking high. Probably too high, but I didn't have that "too high" feeling. I just felt great. Another thing that was absolutely amazing about the high produced by this strain is that it stimulated my imagination to the point of extreme clarity. Like... I'm talking VIVID visualization. Not hallucination or anything like that (I had complete control over what I was picturing as well), but if I tried imagining something, the image or sensation would come to me very easily and very clearly. I do practice witchcraft as part of my spirituality, and visualization is a very important part of this. I feel that smoking some of this could easily bring my practice to new heights. I also absolutely would like to get a "stoner journal" for when I smoke strains like this, because just lying on my bed I came up with some pretty amazing creative writing/fantasy story ideas, and I would LOVE to be able to write them down and revisit them when I'm sober instead of just telling my boyfriend to remember them for me. Things just... came to life in my mind. Seriously. I cannot get over how vividly I was able to imagine visual, auditory, and tactile stimuli. Which brings me to the next part of my review... ***MATURE CONTENT, POSSIBLE TMI FOLLOWING*** This is DEFINITELY going to be one of my go-to sex strains. Idk if anyone else has experienced this while smoking this strain, and maybe it was a mix of the high and my hormones being a bit out-of-whack... but along with that vivid imagery and visualization came a WHOLE lot of horniness. Of course I started thinking about a sexual dream I'd had the night before (and previously masturbated to) and it came back in vivid detail, both visually and in terms of practically being able to feel certain parts of my body being touched... Long story short, I had the BEST masturbation session I think I've ever had. I have never come so much in my life. I told my boyfriend about it (we're long distance at the moment) and he said he'd be open to possibly bringing cannabis into the bedroom after I described my experience; he's previously been pretty hesitant about it. ***END MATURE CONTENT/TMI*** On top of all this, I don't think I experienced a single negative side effect. The high was unrivaled; when I started to come down I did get a bit tired, but it didn't hit me like a ton of bricks like it does with some strains. It just relaxed me enough for me to ease into bed and float off pleasantly to sleep. I had some pretty interesting dreams (actually interesting, like fun) and ended up sleeping VERY well and waking up feeling more refreshed than I've felt in a while. A lot of times when I wake up I feel like I hardly slept at all, even if I slept for 10+ hours; that was NOT the case after going to bed with this in my system. I slept very well, slept in, and woke up feeling totally rejuvenated and in an amazing mood. Best Saturday I've had in forever. I wish I felt this way every morning. Perhaps I'm going to have to make a nighttime ritual of smoking a generous bowl of Pineapple Express... But yeah. Absolutely mind-blowing strain. If you want to create your own little slice of paradise with your high, you MUST pick this up. Every cannabis user should try some of this at least once in their lifetime.
