Can we actually call strains indica or sativa? I won’t weigh in on that, but I can’t deny that some strains make me feel joyous and ready to get my 10,000 steps in, and others cement me firmly where I’ve smoked them. I had researched Smoker Farms before my trip to scope out the need-to-try micro-cultivators who dare to take on the big, government brands, and seem to be winning over consumers. As soon as I opened the bag, the immaculate buds—dense, sticky, gleaming—told me I was in for a treat.
This Master Kush Ultra (G-13 x OG Kush) was the only flower from them that I could find, so I saved it for evenings. I smoked it before attempting to make gnocchi for the first time, which may have contributed to their ungainly shapes, but were nonetheless delicious and perfectly-textured. Allegedly a legacy strain that medical retailers kept on secret menus back in the day, this is a Kush archetype; if you could look Kush up in an encyclopedia, this would be it. It’s stony, it’s earthy like a clay pot, and it laid me out.
