Hard hitting, but neither overly sedative, nor racy. It really opened the front door almost immediately with migraine relief, depression and anxiety, along with moderate pain relief from both arthritis and nerve pain and neuropathy. A lot of balanced hybrids don't wow me with an uplift in mood. This definitely puts a grin on my face and almost urges me to tackle the day. Def recommend for potent and lasting day strain relief.👍👍
Both my wife and I keep coming back to this strain in the evening for pain and stress relief. The sedative and calming effects aren't super heavy, which we both like. If I am not tired or fatigued, it doesn't slow me down. It definitely invites sleep if I need it, and I wake up clear and rested. 5 thumbs up.👍👍👍👍👍
I'm a sativa dominant hybrid lover, and this is one of my favorites. I bought an 1/8th of PE from Cresco Labs at a Peoria, IL dispensary.
Negatives:
-The taste with this batch isn't as dominant as previous experiences with this strain.
-Buds are small. Most buds are bigger than popcorn bud size, but not by much.
-The first Cresco bud I have bought that came in a plastic jar and not glass.
Positives:
-Super clean and extended sativa high with a gentle indica comedown.
-Smell is on point, despite the subtle taste. Earthy, pine and citrus waft out of the jar as soon as it's opened.
-Uplifting high, but doesn't scatter me or make me manic.
-Surprising
Today I picked up a 1/4oz of shake of Ozone's Animal Cake from Trinity dispensary in Peoria, IL.
Both the dispensary and Ozone list this strain as a sativa, though I've read reviews that refer to it as a hybrid.
Up to now, I've only purchased shake from a local farm, NGW, which came in a plastic jar (kinda cool, a nice little nug jar with every 1/8th!) and was dry and light, and typically 18%-23%. Generally a bit harsher smoke, but economical fo sho.
In contrast, this shake was sold in a smallish (3"x5")
ziplock pouch, and unexpectedly flat. My first impression of the size, presentation, and packaging was underwhelming.
And then I opened it and loaded my bong. It was ridiculously fragrant, resinous, sticky, clumpy. A small amount loaded my bowl more similar to a bud than shake, and burned the same.
Super smooth smoke, and a fast heady high that couples well with creating art and engaging conversations like a good sativa. Not overwhelming, tho, and no anxiety that some sativa's can trigger for me. And the best surprise was the pain relief and focus that often comes from the indica side of a hybrid. Free and easy 3 hr high off a bowl from my bong.
Impressively, despite it being shake, it had a great terpene/cbd profile and potency snuck in just under 30%.
I have a rotating list of favorites. Animal Cake has just entered the mix.
