I was skeptical about the claims that this strain increases arousal. Arousal often appears to be a generic result of many strains of cannabis in general. Not when it comes to this strain. Tally Mon delivers, and it does so abundantly. This strain is a light, smooth creamy smoke, not overly forward but pleasant. Effects take a while to come on, but when they do it's quite noticeable. I had just smoked 1/2 gram of Tally Mon prior to sitting down next to my wife. I'll spare details, but within just a few minutes we were heading upstairs. Who needs pills when you have this plant?

I am not going to debate the origins of this strain or the pedigree of what I bought. The dispensary sold this to me as MTF, and that's what I will review. This flower came in at 18% THC. The nugs are a pleasing lime green with streaks of orange and tiny patches of purple. Despite the coloration, the citrus forward fragrance is most reminiscent of lemon. The citrus dominant fragrance is pleasingly accented by mint & pine notes; finished by a subtle note of sage. I smoked this in a joint. The taste up front is like unsweetened marmalade, not bitter but more like citrus zest. The roach is harsh, as most are. This would be a great strain to dry vape for those that appreciate the subtle flavor notes of their herb. It does, however, make for a flavorful smoke as well. The high I experienced was reminiscent of the head pressure often described with headband. For me the high was much more euphoric than I've had with headband. It's as if the euphoria of MTF is forcing itself on you, squeezing your mind until it seeps in with a rush. This would be a strain I would recommend to someone looking to break out of depressive episodes. I would be careful with this strain if you worry about anxiety when you smoke. Some reviews have mentioned effectiveness with stress or PTSD; I won't speak to that since I'm not in complete agreement based on my own experience. I believe that decarbing this strain would be an excellent alternative method of consumption, but have not tried that yet personally.

This is a wonderful hybrid, relaxing and uplifting. When I first smoked this strain, I had just finished an acutely stressful day. It hit quickly, and when it did my stress and anxiety broke (not melted away, but literally broke). This strain would be my go-to stress buster.
