It's so hard to find accurate information about strains. I bought Pineapple Thai flower grown by Alter Farms in Oregon; I don't know many growers by name down here but I know the bud will generally be quality and probably a hard to find strain when I see them. The THC was tested at 24.49% and the CBD is >LOQ, which made me question whether I got the same strain everyone is talking about on here. I called the dispensary (Local Leaf) and they told me the genetics are Mai Tai x Golden Thai. Even without the high CBD the description mentions, the effects were otherwise what people have reported: high energy, talkative, good energy. This is definitely a sativa but, like most sativas derived from landrace strains, it's one I'd feel comfortable sharing with a new stoner if we had a mutual creative task to work on. It's a very clean high, productive and happy. I'd say it's less for creative stimulation and more for when you're ready to execute on a creative project; I got so much done on my cosplay I am going to be sad when this one runs out. I didn't notice physical medicinal effects but I'm not targeting those either. For mental health - if you've got the ADHD or just general lack of motivation - this strain is a real winner.

I gave the kid at the vape shop a nug of Acapulco Gold because he'd never had it before and he gave me a handful of this in return. There's no way to trade up on AG but this is pretty good for a random score. The word I want to use most is "pleasant" - it's a very nice feeling, no drama, no fuss. I like to get high and do creative work so, for me, it lacks the creative focus that would take this from pleasant to exceptional. If you want to hang out and get baked and laugh at the dumbest stuff with your friends this one would do the trick nicely so it's perfect for the kids at the vape shop. Thanks kiddos and I hope the AG blows your lids off!

Those fellas radiate chill competence. I like that in my budtenders. I am now enjoying a strain I rarely come across and love so much I'm not going to tell you what it is so I can buy the rest. Just moved to the neighborhood and the finding out there's a great weed shop within walking distance feels like winning the lottery.

This has that earth smell that just screams "sativa" - like a desert sage, not sweet, like real sage carried on the desert wind. It's almost the primal ur-weed taste - you smell and you're like "yep, that's 100%, unmistakably grass." You either love that flavor profile or you don't; I do, and the aftertaste on the first hit of this stuff is just delicious. The high made me instantly alert in a pleasant way. It feels like it's medicating me in a very similar way to my actual ADHD meds; since it's a pure sativa I figured that might be the case. I wouldn't take both at the same time; might be fine but might be a recipe for anxiety. On its own this is a very clear-headed blissful and if I wasn't already pretty tired from a long day I'd probably fall into worldbuilding for a DnD game for a couple hours and have a ball doing it. After three hits there's a lovely clearing and expansion feeling in my skull and I could see this being very helpful for someone with hypertension headaches. Man this is tasty. Really gives me that old head nostalgia feel. This is a very pure strain on every level.

Grower: High Tech in Oregon Labeled: Rainbow Banana sativa flower THC: 26.26% Fellow enthusiasts, let me tell you about my experience with the Banana Rainbow cannabis strain. This was no ordinary herb, let me assure you all. The scent was a symphony of apricots and spice, a tantalizing concoction that immediately piqued my interest. Not going to lie, it hit rougher than most. But fear not, my fellow cannabis connoisseurs, for it floated in immediately with a fully body uplift that left me feeling weightless, both emotionally and physically. This was a high unlike any other, my dear companions, a true work of art. And the surge of creativity it gave me, oh my comrades, it was like a lightning bolt to the brain. As a writer, I found it particularly useful for my DND worldbuilding, with the creativity flowing like a river after a hit. And after several long days of moving, my neck muscles were tense and in dire need of relaxation. And this strain, oh this strain, relaxed and eased the tension like a soothing balm to the soul. I'll be honest, Banana Rainbow may not be the most groundbreaking strain out there, but it is undeniably pleasant and absolutely worth recommending. So if you're looking for an experience that will uplift and focus you, look no further than Banana Rainbow. It's a true masterpiece of the cannabis world, my dear companions, and it just might inspire you to create something extraordinary.

I am no expert but everything I read online was conflicting so I'm sharing my own experience and hoping it helps someone. This flower was grown by LOWD in Portland, Oregon and sold by Jayne Dispensary. It was tested in Nov 2022 at 23.81% THC and <0.06% CBD. Mine is specifically labeled LOWD: Hawaiian Skunk Face Sativa Flower and it was described to me as "very sativa". I mention this because other websites I've seen call it a slightly indica-dominant strain. I have ADHD and learned the stupid way that heavy sativas, which I used to love, hit pretty differently now that I'm medicated (who would have thought two stimulants would interact that's sarcasm don't come at me). Thanks to the snowstorm however I can't get my medication so I figured it was an okay gamble. Real talk I wasn't going to get this one. I found $15 randomly and decided to use the boon to backstock a bit. I would have walked out with more flower from a different strain - probably also good, Jayne always has great selection - but then my dumb ass just had to smell it. SMELL Floral and citrus-y with a little diesel note. Maybe that sounds boring. Honestly I'm usually not very attentive to specific notes in different strains but this one caught my... nose I guess because the ratio of smells to each other is really elegant. This is weird to say but it's the kind of smell *balance* that a perfumer might create; not overwhelming, every smell interesting on its own but playing really well with the others. All I can say confidently is it smells like weed that someone has put a ton of energy into crafting - not just growing, but also really intentionally creating. I had to try something that struck me like that. APPEARANCE The buds are a lighter green - not quite Silver Haze light but in that color range. There's a crystal dusting on everything and orangey-red hairs buried in the nooks. They felt kinda light but they're packing a lot in each bowl and I'm getting maybe two hits per bowl more than I expected. Going to shout out whoever trimmed this too; they were clearly paying attention to detail. TASTE Same as smell but the exhale was kind of piney but not in a heavy or unpleasant way. I'm not a great read on tastes so ymmv here but even the last hit in the bowl still tasted pretty good and that is not common for me. BODY Okay I get why they go by LOWD; this is not quiet weed. I felt it first in my temples; like someone cracked an egg of honey over my brain and it's been slowly dripping down the top and sides for the last couple hours as I've put two small bowls down. I say small bowls on purpose; I'm not a heavy head by any stretch but this is easily one of the strongest of the varieties I've tried over the past two years. The slow honey tingle on the top of my skull has been going strong this whole time; no red-eye but the pressure behind my eyes is decreased. I have good pain relief in my muscles but it's interesting how localized the main physical effect is. It's not distracting and while I'm not usually a headband-esque weed smoker this is almost like its inverse and I'm enjoying it a lot. My biggest complaint is that I want the honey feeling to drench my soul. HEAD I put "happy" as one of the effects but it's not the uplifting kind of happy you get from Maui Wowie or something. It's more like I'm unconcerned but not disinterested. I don't feel spacey or disconnected or so euphoric I'm numb; I'm just kind of pleasantly unbothered but still curious and coherent. I don't think it's helping my (untreated atm) ADHD but I don't think it's making it worse at all. After this I'm going to go finish designing a dice box for a friend of mine and this feels good for a low-pressure creative space. I do creative professional work and I don't think I'd want to WORK work on it, but it wouldn't be the worst thing. It's definitely great for bs-ing with my friends about ttrpgs over Discord. Would be great for smoking bowls with a friend and watching YT videos. If you're a heavy smoker (and gamer) you could probably play a game like DnD in this headspace fine - but I wouldn't suggest GMing. INDICA/SATIVA? It's the exception rather than the rule for most legal Oregon strains to be anything other than a hybrid of some kind; the question is really "what's the ratio" and you're reliant on the dispensary and the grower to tell you, which they're not obligated to do. It's hard to get clear information. LOWD's website has strains on it but I'm guessing only whatever they currently have on hand; this one is not listed there. I'd love it if growers could keep archives and back catalogs online so people can do research in the future even if the strain's not currently available. My experience tells me this is probably has a lot of indica just based on how physical the high was, but I almost want to try it again when I am medicated to see. I think this one would actually pair nicely with my medication and become really productive, which tells me it's probably sativa dominant but not by a lot. I'm not tired but I'm about to hit small bowl number three and once that starts to wear down I think I'm going to drift nicely into sleep. That's a nice strain if you like doing things in the evening but, like me, have sleep issues (and who has ADHD but doesn't have sleep issues?) tl;dr It's strong and good and unique. Recommended for experienced heads. Would buy again.

After getting back into smoking after a five year hiatus I'm realizing my entire strain profile had changed. When I smoked and drank regularly and wasn't medicated (bipolar 2 and ADHD) I could not get enough of sativas: Trainwreck, AK-47, Maui Wowie... I'm probably dating myself here but point is my more responsible, diagnosed adult self has found a better equilibrium that sativas can more easily unbalance. So here I am learning to love indicas for the first time in my life, and Slurricane is the one that's sold me on switching up my profile. The grower was Meraki in Oregon and flower was purchased from Jayne Dispensary. Taste is kind of a berry or reddish grape - light and nice. A lot like the (very very different) strain Headband I can feel a pleasant tingle-pressure around my crown. Nice body tingles. This has a pleasant but not distracting physicality to it. It's really the stress relief that has me writing though. This year has been really hard so far and this has me feeling like I just exhaled for the first time in months. I don't feel locked or weighed down, but I'm not buzzy or needing to do anything really; just very at ease and that's a feeling rare enough to celebrate. It's very present - this is not a weak high - but easy-going enough that I can sit here and write a review and feel really pleasant about it but also know in a few more hits it will float me nicely to the astral realm. I think that's what I'm going to go do right now. Slurricane. The name is a little dumb. But I'd still keep it stocked. It's the kind of strain that reminds you weed really is medicine.
