Just got done smoking a joint of this stuff with my partner, wanted to give a hands-on review for this one. Despite the name "Kush Mints"', to me it tastes much more like pine and general earthiness. It leaves your mouth cool similar to menthol. This stuff is ridiculously easy to clear and smoke. A very gentle hit, even on the big ones to an extent. Could be a good strain to introduce to a new user.
Sativa heavy high with almost no mental fog, unless you smoke a lot. Gives off a good body tingle but doesn't leave you feeling locked down. It's easy to just space out but if you try you can definitely focus down on one thing, like I'm doing with this review. Gives you general uplifting feels and a considerable energy boost. Honestly one of the most optimal Sativas I've had thus far.
Can't recommend this enough to new smokers or medical patients. Two or three good/deep hits off a bowl or a bong will be enough for a moderate high with an intense peak. A full bowl will get you throughly fried. A joint has a pretty intense peak but a relaxing and enjoyable comedown. For recreational use or for people with high tolerance, this may not satiate you as much. Still a hell of a good kick though. I see this being a very good strain for talking walks, enjoying the bright sunlight and having that cool fooling from the menthol effect. It's also good for sitting down and enjoying a good video, movie, game or music. Dope strain.
TL;DR: Fantastic Sativa strain with light physical effects. A very good strain to sit back and relax with, or for doing something productive.
White Widow is an extremely potent Sativa, and one that I consider perfect for countering depression, low motivation, and fatigue. Helps me get into a creative mood or get up and moving when I just can't lift that fog of depression on my own. Extremely mentally stimulating, and relatively easy to shake off if you need to sober up temporarily. Overall a great strain that I could see being great for medical marijuana patients that struggle with mood disorders.
Pop Rox (Sold to me as Purple Pop Rox), is a very potent hybrid strain. I was told that it would be more of an Indica, but I remember having more Sativa-like effects. Strong euphoria, a great mood lifter. The buds are beautiful, bright green with orange lines and purple crystals. Seriously, one bud looked like something out of a video game. My partner broke a bud apart and it looked like purple cave crystals inside.
I've heard that it's supposed to taste/smell more like grapes, but I personally get more of a lemon profile. To me, it tastes almost exactly how lemon-scented Lysol wipes smell. It's strange, but very pleasant. Did I mention this is a potent strain? One pack of my one-hitter (a small, ceramic pipe modeled like a cigarette), was enough to get me throughly stoned. On two occasions, I shared a small pre-roll (I think 0.75 grams?) with my boyfriend and had an experience I can only describe as psychedelic. Mainly in my mind and imagination. It was surreal, but a great experience. Great strain, just don't overdo it if you're looking to function once you're done with your smoke sesh.
I'm going to give you two experiences I had with Bruce Banner, one good, one bad.
First off, the bad experience. For about 3 weeks, me and my partner were smoking Delta 8 Flower. The highs were definitely less intense, cant really say I felt "high" more than twice during those 3 weeks. But finally, we got our hands on some real pot. A friend brought over some Bruce Banner, and rolled a fat joint. Now for context, I've been smoking for only around 3 months. And like I said, I had been using Delta 8 bud for the past 3 weeks. Knowing this, I should've been more careful my first time back to regular pot, but hey, hindsight 20/20 right? Me, my partner, and my friend shared the joint, and still only ended up getting about 60% through it. The first 10 minutes I didn't feel much, until it hit like a frieght train. I felt dizzy, it was hard to stand, and my mind was racing. My vision narrowed, and there was an intense ringing in my ears. I sat down and began to panic abit.
After about a minute of that, I dry heaved and threw up a bit of saliva. I did this one more time before going to the toilet, and doing it 2 more times. During that time, I broke out in an intense sweat and was experiencing closed-eye hallucinations. It was a scary experience, but after about 30 minutes, I evened out and began to relax. Surprisingly, I actually ended up enjoying the rest of the high. It left me feeling happy, hazy, and mentally stimulated. That was my first experience with this strain, and I can't say I blame the strain for my reaction. It has an insanely high THC content, and that was my first time smoking genuine pot in 3 weeks. And from a joint no less, that I probably got 5 or 6 hits from. So yeah, in that sense, maybe don't pick this one as your first strain you smoke ever. And if you do, go extremely slow.
But what about the good story? Well, the next morning me and my partner shared a pipe. Remembering the hell I went through the night before, I was curious to try again, but very cautious. I took 3 decent sized hits and then left it at that. Within 5 minutes, I felt euphoric and tingly. It's weird it set on so quick, as it usually takes 10-15 minutes for me to start feeling the heaviness of a high. The peak of the high was still a little intense, but nothing like the night before. In fact, it was fun! Incredibly strong head buzz both physically and mentally. It smells lovely, and tastes pretty good to boot. The buds are super dense, so you get plenty of bang for your buck.
So, what's my verdict? Bruce Banner is a great strain, but handle with care. Especially if you're a new smoker or prone to anxiety. I see Banner being good for depression mainly, maybe not as much anxiety due to the intensity of the high. Go slow, maybe only take a few good hits, then leave it alone for 15-ish minutes. See how you feel, smoke more if needed. 3 good hits off of a bowl had me throughly stoned for a good hour, with residual effects lasting much longer. I probably stopped feeling high after about 3 hours, but the residual happiness and energy stayed for hours afterwards.
TL;DR - Bruce Banner is an incredibly strong strain, and could likely knock a seasoned smoker on their ass. It's fantastic and a good high both for medical purposes and for recreational use. Just handle with care.
My absolute favorite strain I've tried so far. This thing is a fantastic strain to relax and just vibe with. You can just feel the stress melt away. For me, my mind is usually extremely fuzzy, but in a good way. It also does stimulate arousal so... do what you will with that information.
A really good indica-leaning hybrid strain. It chills your body out and calms the mind, but without majorly impacting the function of either. Super potent too, you don't need much to get high, let alone to use in a medical sense. Perfect anti-depressant and stress relief strain.
