Bought a couple grams of this from New Amsterdam Naturals in Los Angeles-- awesome co-op, highly recommend their selection of connoisseur buds. This particular strain is bred by Cannabiotix, and it's probably the terpiest flower I've encountered to date. Cracking the jar on this nasty gal is like opening a tub of Strawberry Lemonade Crystal Light, and instantly transported me to the kitchen of my childhood home, where I'd whip CL up along with a quesadilla before bingeing on cartoons 'til my folks came home. A lot of strains rock tantalizing names these days, but few deliver with such accuracy-- Cannabiotix killed it with this one.
Nugs are spongy little Christmas trees, various shade of Earth green wrapped in bright orange hairs and featuring a truly stunning amount of crystals. It was impossible to tamp the bowl down with my finger, the bud was so resinous and sticky it would cling to my skin and leap out like a monkey trying to escape the barrel. Sick.
Flavor, when vaped at low-medium temp, is equally impressive. Deep lemon on the exhale, with strawberry notes fluttering around the edges. Again, I'm transported back to my cartoons, sipping on a citrus drink forged from mysterious powder technology. Hot damn. Or should I say, cold, refreshing damn... Seriously some of the tastiest bud I've ever inhaled.
Effects-wise, this is a moderate, head-first kinda ride. Sativa for sure, but not too racy. Made the visuals pop on Horizon Zero Dawn, made an episode of Planet Earth super silly-- the dance of the mountain flamingoes!-- and provided a nice relaxed buzz without inducing couch-lock. If you're looking for that headbanger boogie OG shit that'll turn you into a comatose Smurf, this ain't it. But if you're looking to kick back and chill while maintaining your wits, this would make an excellent choice. Also pairs well with music and creative pursuits-- and it won't inhibit sleep like some sativas. After a couple hours my body was fully relaxed and ready for the Sandman to bless me... hopefully with dreams about scoring more of this sweet herb.
tldr: Not the most potent, but certainly some of the tastiest bud ever. Well played, Cannabiotix, well played!
