Grower: Raven Grass Harvest: 10 Sept 2015 Purchased: 24 Oct 2015 Quantity: 1g Retailer: The Novel Tree THC (total): 25.38% THCA: 24.34% CBD: 0.11% Aroma: Earthy. Good earthy, like rich loam, not like a dank and mouldy crawlspace. Flavour: Used a bong, mainly got something akin to peppermint, but more piney. Nice. I'm a big Granddaddy Purple fan and when I saw this guy on the menu at my local, Hit me pretty quickly, but at 24.34% that's not surprising. You'll definitely notice the sativa effects from the Super Silver Haze and that's what I noticed first. Very talkative, which is only a bit odd because I'm alone right now. Hrm... After about half an hour or so, the GDP contribution to the party arrives and smoothes off the sativa edge and the result is an EXCELLENT combination for a rainy and overcast day. Perfect for building a giant nest on the couch and reading, talking, gaming, or watching some TV. I recommend Doctor Who. I haven't had anything from Raven Grass that wasn't top notch and this one continues the trend. Now where'd I put that bowl of leftover Halloween candy?

Grower: Raven Grass Harvest: 14 May 2015 Purchased: 24 Oct 2015 Quantity: 1g Retailer: The Novel Tree THC (total): 18.84% THCA: 17.60% CBD: 0.19% Three guesses as to what this sucker smells like. It's a really pleasant blueberry and I swear I'm getting a little tobacco, like a cigar, as well. But I've sampled a bit already, so keep that in mind. :P This one hits the hybrid sweet spot - energetic enough to avoid couch lock, but suuuuuper laid-back while you're going about your business. Strong sativas (and sativa-dominant hybrids) frequently have a "let's go clean the house" effect on me, but this one doesn't. It was more like, "let's sit down design a database schema." Lemme tell you, visualizing databases after a few hits of this strain is a craptonne of fun. Very nicely done, Raven Grass.

Producer: Western Cultured These guys produce consistently good stuff. I've tried their Seatown Lemon Haze (lovely aroma and taste) and just picked up Perma Frost to try. Really nice packaging. The graphics have a matte finish and each strain has its own color. Little things like this make a difference to me.. I don't know how they package their bags, but all three I've gotten feel like a bag of crisps on an airplane - higher air pressure inside. Inside, though, lovely buds, frosty coating of trichomes and, while I'm still learning to discern scents, I definitely detected a nice whiff of grape. Good smoke, cooled down with some ice and it was very smooth. I ended up trying this strain because when I asked the budtender at my local to recommend something with a strong body high, he reached immediately for this. He was dead on. A nice body high, not too strong, but definitely noticeable and very pleasant. Definitely dig this strain, definitely dig these producers.

Grower: Rogue Raven Farms Format: Shatter Consumption: Dab rig, glass nail Still getting in to the world of dabbing, and this is a really nice concentrate. Had some before going out on a Saturday to run errands and it made for a nice afternoon. I found it very energizing, so if you've just had two cups of coffee (like I had), you might want to try another strain. I still felt clear-headed, but just enough of a lift to make things interesting. My eyes stayed clear, too. Bonus! I've realized also that I need a larger dab rig (and bong) because I'm so old, my eyes can't focus on things that close, even *with* glasses on. But that's a story for another time...

Excellent. Didn't leave me locked to the couch! I've been searching for a good Indica that wouldn't completely zone me out - found one! It has helped with my depression, as well.

When I say 5 stars, I mean it. These guys rule. Everyone is super-helpful and happy to spend time with you. They will answer any and all questions you have, no matter how many you have. I've been to several other shops and never feel as welcome or appreciated as I do at The Novel Tree. Great selection and good prices. Every shop should be like this. Support these guys!
