Reviewing the Cresco Live Sugar concentrate of this strain. I was really pleased with this - very high performer at a lower price point than their Reserve line.
Taste is what I’d expect in a kush: a woodsy diesel mix with a little floral you can just barely catch.
Effects: relaxed, sleepy, hungry
This hits your head right away, then slowly works it’s way into couch/bed lock. Nice to use at night after everything is done for the day.
Okay. Second time I’m reviewing this because I got distracted, came back to finish and all my work was gone.
That is a review all on its own!
First note: I’m reviewing Cresco Reserve Joliet Jake Live Budder. Google search has Leafly redirecting to Sugar Plum Sunset and they both list the same parent strains, so I’m thinking a name change, but just thought I should mention.
This is my first budder and the consistency was not what I expected. Instead of a “buttery” consistency, it was more like clumpy Parmesan cheese. I don’t know if that’s good/bad/normal or what, but it made loading more difficult tha a sugar or shatter would be.
Once I loaded a piece the size of bb pellet, I got a good 8 - 10 hits off it. After 4, I was happy and relaxed and started writing the review. After 6 I got distracted and lost the review. 3 hours later, finished it off and am now going to finish the review, I hope.
Taste: woodsy, earthy kush flavor with a slight diesel aftertaste. Nothing unpleasant at all.
Effects: immediately calming. It took my anxiety from a 7 to a 2 in less than 5 minutes. Additional puffs provided a kind of couch lock that had me on Twitter for hours just randomly following from one topic to the next. Engaged, but no attention span. The additional puffs are also when I saw the pain relief with my sciatica. That went from a 5 to zero - very impressive!
All in all this is a great strain for anxiety and pain relief. It did not produce a euphoric, happy or giggly effect, which I was hoping for, too, but I’ll try not to be too greedy! :)
Clean, peaceful atmosphere. Lots of comfortable waiting room, and depending when you show up, that may be important. Anything after work hours or on weekends, expect at least 30 minute wait - even if you used online ordering. I was expecting their online ordering to be handled separately from the walk ins, but same line, same service people. They just grab the pre-prepared bag instead of pulling your requests.
Still, can’t complain about the prices or selection. They keep well stocked and mail out updates when new items come in. All in all, a pretty great place!
I got the Moxie distillate cartridge of this and it was amazing! Tastes strongly of berries. When I took the first puff, my son turned around shocked, asking what it was. Great indica strain - giggly & stress-free. Not great for sleeping, though. Other than that, I’m def buying next time it’s available.
I was looking for a heavy indica strain and this put me down. I’m using the cresco live resin cartridge but have to admit, i don’t taste the blueberry others mentioned.
Very strong feelings of peace and relaxation, improved my depression and soothes the achies. Def recommend.
One of the best strains I tried. Great for insomnia, anxiety and depression. It also works great on pain. Smell and taste are a complex mixture of fruity/earthy with citrus overnotes. Definitely plan a repeat purchase ASAP.
Smells amazing. Flavor is sweet and sour with a little earthy mixed in. Good daytime high. A couple puffs get me through at least an hour; a whole bowl leaves me drooling and gives “Netflix & chill” a whole new meaning. Great help for my treatment-resistent depression. Leaves me giggly and smiling all the time. Does a decent job on my anxiety too.
