Red
1/4/2019
Tried this for the first time last night and absolutely love it. Branded "Red" from Fireside, but it's actually the strain "Spoetnik #1". Really smooth to vape; almost a menthol flavour. Not harsh in the lungs or throat at all. Smells like wet straw in the container. The high resembles Northern Lights but stronger. Puts you in a gossamer haze where music sounds really good and nothing bothers you. As an experiment I tried to bum myself out by deliberately thinking negative thoughts, but it didn't work. Each thought just became an impotent postcard from the far-off country of WorryLandia: "Having a bad time, wish you were here!" Nope, sorry! Tonight I'm riding the Sputnik. Hard to find strain but definitely a keeper.

Gather
12/4/2018
This is a review of "Gather" by Aphria/Solei. The actual strain is Jack Herer ..... or at least it used to be. Solei is now (Dec. 2018) selling some low-THC strain that is 10% THC. That's too low to be any kind of Jack Herer I've ever heard of. Buyer beware.

A pleasant, deeply relaxing high with good CDB effects. Indica dominant. Great choice for lounging in a sunbeam with a book. Also good for novice users, which I was when I tried it. If your brain needs a beanbag chair, this is it.
Blue Dream

Some weed makes you forget your troubles; some weed makes you think about them. This was the latter, at least for me. Not a good "alone late at night" strain. GSC is a similar buzz but a better hammer to the amygdala.
Lemon Skunk

Lemon Skunk is a perfect combo of sativa sparkle and indica velvet. It will calm the monkey-fights in your brain and make the Grateful Dead float between your ears like the smell of baking bread permeating a woodland cottage on a snowy Christmas Eve.

Some facts from the Ontario Government (!):
THC 5.04 - 6.4%
CBD 4.8 - 15.7%
Brand: Solei
Parent Company: Aphria
Growing Location: Leamington, Ontario
Consumption method: smoked
This strain is exactly as its name suggests: balanced. It won't blast you into the stratosphere, but it will give you a pleasant buzz while a warm ocean rises out of your body and washes away all anxiety. I guess that's the CBD. It was like my body walked up to my brain and said "there, there, that's enough now. The universe and I will sing you to your rest." Currently my favourite strain.
