Skywalker reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Skywalker.
An amazing strain for chronic pain and PTSD. The perfect blend of body and mind effects leaving you relaxed but functional with mood-boosting and creativity-enhancing benefits. This strain has given me my life back.
Listening to emo revival bands and Skywalker kind of night. This is fantastic. The world is a beautiful place.
To be clear I’m discussing the original Skywalker and not the OG....I’ve seen dispensaries mix these up....sigh. This is in my top 5 favorite FL MMJ strains, not in love with SWOG strain.
I’ve had (over the course of a few months) a total of 1/2 ounce of flower as well as 4 x 1g Prerolls (for the test run). (In addition, I have this as RSO and SHO, which I’ll discuss later)
The various 1/8ths clocked in at:
24.4%, 22.9%, 25.1%, and 19.8% total cannabinoids, having 0% CBD, and a mix of THCv, CBN, CBG for the final .7-1% the rest as THCA or THC.
Cure/Condition: Trulieve FL grew and cured this to perfection. Not only have the chemical precursor CBG all been used up, but CBN levels are low and so it seems a solid timing on the harvest. The cure is pretty much perfect. The leaves don’t crunch and powder but neither do they resist grinding because they weren’t dried properly. WELL DONE! These buds are just slathered in lovely amber kief that sticks on the buds until you grind and will hold on to smaller pieces as well unless you do something like a grinder coin or freeze the grinder/bud first. Tons of kief from totally standard grinding, no tricks applied.
Smell: The smell reminds me of the Mazar I Sharif parent....I smell earth, spice, once in a while some whiff of pine+flowers buried in there. Overall it’s incredibly pleasant and pungent but tough for me to pick out notes like I often can with Sativas. No hint of blueberry in my various samples but that could be a bad nose too!
Taste: I love Indicas....but in flower form, many Landrace strains along with those closely descended from them just have the “pot flavor” after the first few puffs. Skywalker has a nice and woody flavor that doesn’t just taste like ‘burning plant material in glass’ but instead the peppery notes in the smell pop on the exhale. Inhale has a sharp and pleasant taste/feel that is similar to the sensation you’ll get with certain Lemon strains. Taste is NOT even similar, but that’s the buy the sharp burst of flavor is.
Effects: Smoked with a perfectly clear mind, Skywalker hit fast (less than halfway through the 1g preroll and I knew I was in for a treat) and hard with a fantastic sense of ease and well-being in this old soldier’s body and a head high that had me thinking long, slow thoughts about long slow thoughts about long slow thoughts...... and coming back up for air only to realize I had the “Inception High” going on! Unfortunately for me, my conditions have me constantly dosed with RSO and therefore I have a baseline tolerance that can be tough for an Indica leaning plant to punch through....Skywalker doesn’t seem to have this issue at all!!! Every time I consume this strain, despite the fact that I’ve purchased four different lot numbers and therefore different batches, it comes through with a feeling of complete surety and a steady hand that helps with physical pain, emotional stressors, and holding one’s head high despite one’s conditions.
Skywalker (at least the phenotype grown by Trulieve in Florida) is a fantastic medical and recreational strain that will have your body feeling fantastic and elevate your mind into playing Jedi mind-tricks on itself! Happy Trails!
This is great for opening up your mind and helping you process trauma. I struggle with anxiety. My anxiety has been out of control, with COVID and such. I’ve also been super overwhelmed at work. I was having crazy realizations about my life, my perspectives, etc. I feel a lot calmer and clearer minded, now that I’ve sobered up:
Fruity Papaya Armpit! Incredible Sexy Bud.
A great indica strain that is quite relaxing and euphoric.
Loved it.
I have brought peace freedom justice and security to my new empire.
