Old Toby could best be described as your sketchy best friend. They do cool stuff, make you laugh and are generally fun to hang around with…..but sometime you get into trouble. This is a similar bud, it’s a great mental stone, a soaring rhetorical high, but if your mind switches gear for some reason, you can end up in some pretty weird places inside your own head. Even saying that when I went there, the dark place, it was still fun as hell, being a little sketched out. The buzz is quick acting. It vapes with a moderate to strong heavy funky flavor, that is reminiscent of a killer cut of Sour-D crossed with a U.K. Blue cheese. The cloud is heavy and long lasting. I got easily four thick pulls from one load. Initially everything feels all sped up, even while relaxing in my patio chair things around me seem to be happening quickly. It looks like sour-d, is loud as can be with a sweet funky skunky’ness. It’s a beautifully grown cut, cured perfectly and the buds are dense and heavily coated. Not blanketed by any means but nicely coated. My recommendation is to be in a safe fun stable environment if you have any issues with sativa’s getting too heady with you. If if it does, it will glide you through it and you’ll still have fun. Donation point for me @ $270 was quite fair given the strength, ability to get more than three full pulls from a ¼ gram load and the current market for high quality Sativa’s.

Green Crack (Sativa): Rare Stone CA Time consumed: 3:35 PM 4/27/15 First of the day Amount: 1 scoop approx. ¼ gram Grinder: Simba four piece Method of Consumption: About two Full Pulls from the Vapor Tower, Vaporizer, run through a KONG bong Review: I’ve been a medical cannabis user for treatment of severe pain and anxiety. So many strains help in their own way, others not so much at all. High CBD potential marijuana like this particular cut when grown to their fullest potential, and this one was is a true dream. From time to time we need medication that is quiet yet effective. Then when by some miracle a grower lets it go and you are able to get some, say goodbye to the dr. pills and hello to mellow-yellow-focus in-no stress-EASY like Sunday morning (not the Lionel Ritchie version, but Faith no More version). Worst part about the strains is the availability and associated higher costs. But if you can find a way to jump that hurdle then by all means you should check out these frosty conical, dense, shiny nugs of earthy goodness. Think Lambs bread without the heady “jah man” aspect and you’ve got the picture. While I find the taste earthy and woody, there is supposed to be some pine in there, this did not but you’ll not miss it if you were not expecting it. Sum it up, KILLER CUT, METICULIUSLY trimmed and cured.

Lambsbread: Rare Stone CA Time consumed: 6:50 AM 4/4/15 First of the day Amount: 1 scoop approx. ¼ gram Grinder: Simba four piece Method of Consumption: About two Full Pulls from the Vapor Tower Vaporizer, run through a KONG bong Amount: 1 scoop approx. ¼ gram Review: Yay, wake n’ bake. But I’ve been up all night in pain anyways so WTF. I have to say this strain has been on my wish list for a long time. So when it came upon my radar from a very trusted source I took a shot at it. It’s an interesting bud, super soft, tight and a lil’ sticky. It smells like old furniture and when ground it’s simply nauseating to me. That aside I went ahead and took a few pulls and a slow calm, gentle wave of happy sort of crept up on me. The taste was thankfully not similar to the smell, but herbal and woodsy. I was relaxing on the back patio when then the sounds of the birds, and fountain just all came into focus. I now see why so many musicians groove on this strain. It’s by no means any kind of ass kicking whollop, but more of a gentle mood elevator. It lasts about an hour and the buzz sort of simply terminates. I worked on it for a good part of the morning and suffered no ill effects at all. Price point for me is high @ $290/oz. It’s top quality med for sure but in my book it does not register a value for price paid. I’d would however be all over it @ $200/oz.

Kens OG: Kind Deliveries Aliso Viejo CA Time consumed: 2:50 PM 3/12/15 First of the day Amount: 1 scoop approx. ¼ gram Grinder: Simba four piece Method of Consumption: About two Full Pulls from the Vapor Tower Vaporizer, run through a KONG bong Amount: 1 scoop approx. ¼ gram Review: I’m not usually one to start the session in the mid afternoon with a OG must less one like Ken’s OG. But the pain level today was high, I had nothing really going on so I decided WTF and went for it. Holy smokes it’s a true creeper. I was able to get three full pulls off one scoop. The taste is piney and woodsy and super clean. I had just poured a quad espresso down my throat and the flavor cut right through that. I’m finding it difficult to remember things from seconds ago and really just want to put this computer down and chill. I will resist that temptation for the time being and say that this grow is nice. Not exceptional but nice. Fluffy looking but only midly yielding to the squeeze the buds hold together well, and a nicely structured. There are a fair amount of red hairs and a lighter frosting of crystals. Still this is a powerhouse bud. Almost all body heavy buzz with a light headed feel. The cure and trim is beautiful as one would expect from this quality of bud. For the price I paid for the OZ. I am reasonably satisfied. It’s no Jetfuel or Godfather but it will hold its own, especially with less seasoned patients.

XJ-13 Kind Deliveries, Laguna Niguel, CA Time consumed: 2:50 PM 1/14/15 First of the day Amount: 1 scoop approx. ¼ gram Grinder: Simba four piece Method of Consumption: About two Full Pulls from the Vapor Tower Vaporizer, run through a KONG bong Review: Nothing more that I love than coming home and “taking the edge off”. This afternoon I chose XJ-13 as my afternoon selection. I got about two good pulls from the vapor/bong combo. Vape is light on weight and flavor. This bud has been sitting around in one of those stupid film cans for about 5 months. When I first got it, I must have been less than impressed with the product. I’ve since given it another shot here, and it seems to be doing just what I need, rounding the corners off my day. This is not as “stony” as the Tangerine Dream from earlier in the week and I appreciate it at this point. 20 Minuets in and all is well. No anxiety, no troublesome thoughts, just the desire to chill and write. No body effect is to be found what so ever. I’m even having an easier time writing this than with the Tangerine. As I ground the flowers the resulting lil’ piles sent reminded me that of Chernobyl’s unique scent. The strain is said to be citrus in smell and flavor and I found none of that. More like fall leaves and an old rag with weeks old varnish on it. I know I paid in hindsight probably more than I should have. This is a quality grow but not top-shelf by any stretch. It looks a very light brown or blond color with a fine coating of white crystals. The buds are pinecone shaped, small and yield to pressure. Its not fluffy, it’s not rock hard. I’d say if someone offered me up an OZ of this for say $120.00 I’d be really stoked but the sad state of affairs that is Medical Marijuana in California is that it’s $45.00 an eighth and that’s just too damn much. You can pick up Cali-Orange for $100-120 a zip, and while it may not be as “refined” it does a similar job and a far lower price.

I tested this med for the first time today 4-13-2015. I picked it up from the good folks at Rare Stone in San Clemente CA. I used a tower whip vaporizer and a simba 4 pc grinder. My standard scoop is about 1/5 to 1/4 gram. i was able to get 4 full pulls from this flower. When ground the scent was very similar to Chernobly (Golden Ticket) cut. There was a hint of lemon pledge as well. The trim was not as nice as I would like to see on a top shelf flower, but is is less of an issue for me since I vape. The taste was very close to a mix of chemdawg and UK blue cheese. A little spice, a little funk and a ton of "chem". The first thing I noticed was the immediate impact to my head. The instant vapor entered my lung head change began. A wave of relaxation and anticipation rolled over me. The buzz is up in nature and at this point not at ll overwhelming. I find the effects are calming an focusing. The shoulder pain that I was experiencing before partaking has either subsided or my brain is just not acknowldeging it, for that I am thankful. At $290/oz it's a little above what I would like to see, but if the pain relief conintes this afternoon it may just be worth it @ about $2.00 a pop.

Berner’s Cherry Pie Dr. Green Thumb Aliso Viejo Time consumed: 3:03 PM 1/21/15 First of the day Amount: 1 scoop approx. ¼ gram Grinder: Simba four piece Method of Consumption: About two Full Pulls from the Vapor Tower Vaporizer, run through a KONG bong Review: Having had a fairly uneventful work day, I was not in a hurry to come home and switch my brain off, and I’ve had this Beautiful 1/8 of Cherry Pie chillin in the chest so I thought this could be a match made in heaven. It’s an absolutely gorgeous flower. Every square millimeter is plastered with the tiniest crystals, we have dark orange hairs, blackish, purple light and sage green colorations and it reeks to high heaven of Sweet Funk. And yes you can reach for it and find the “Cherry Pie” aroma and taste, especially when using a good air vape. It’s super dense, but not rock hard and dry. Just think …dank and what comes to mind is what you will see. Effects are not straight away. I was able to get three solid vapor pulls from my test scoop. The high is functional, but without care or stress. My afternoon activities will go unhampered for the most part, but the routine tasks will be easier and I dare say more “fun” as a result. For a hybrid it’s leans Sativa and at least with the amount I consumed I’m unlikely to get stuck on the couch for long. This strain has just enough “get up n’ go” that I require in the late afternoon. This is a LUX weed. It was grown with great care, cured perfectly and is fine to look at. The $$$/effect ratio here is a little distorted because this is a premium donation level for this med. @ $55.00/3.59 grams. I would get a small amount of this again to have on hand, but it’s not spectacular enough to be in the regular rotation.

The hardest hitting strain I've had this year it is a top-notch fullbore kick in the teeth. If you need help relaxing sleeping or just taking the edge off this might be just a little more than you need but guaranteed it does work. I used my Simba grinder and my vapor tower. Standard scoop size is approximately one quarter gram. Effects are not immediate but long-lasting. It creeps in over the course of a half an hour not much longer after that all your troubles will have been forgotten. This selection from Dr. Green thumb in orange county California was produced by someone who truly knew and loved what they do. I can feel the connections being disconected from my brain one at a time about 30 min after consumption.

I selected this strain from Choice in Southern Orange County. This is a top shelf selection and my personal favorite INDICA of 2014. The effects are almost immediate, powerful and long lasting. The flavor is insane, power pine-tree with heavy skunk funk and a woody foresty scent. This is not a functional strain. I ground in my simba grinder, too my standard "scoop" which is about 1/4 gram and load it into my Vapor Tower, and pull through a KONG bong. I am able to pull 5-6 decent sized hits, before tossing the "revape" into my collection jar for making canna-coconut oil. The flavor is appreciated for minuets after you take a hit. The effects are similar to and INDICA punch in the face. You will sit down, and when you do the only reason you are getting up is to eat, and then maybe eat again. Whatever was on your mind is no longer! It makes me feel great, vapes like a dream. The buds are firm and funky and caked up with white crystals. Some red hairs poke through the buds and make them look like candle tips. Whomever grew this batch knew WTF they were doing. Best of 2014 in my books.
