Strawberry Cough
10/29/2021
***WARNING**
I'm still high. So this is long but very detailed. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😂😂
I've been writing this review in my head since my third good hit. And that was over 30 mins ago. But I feel like it's been a lot longer, then this trip--i SWEAR we should be there by now. I looked up at one point & we're still in the FUCKING DRIVEWAY.
We're going on maybe 45 mins. I think. I can't really estimate the exact time but I have an idea based on my last text.
**Upadate...that I'm putting up here instead of where/when I actually had the thought. Which was an hour ago but it felt like MUCH longer.
ANYWAY...
My weed test/new strain discovery from this morning...
I wanted a more daytime smoke.
Since I was going somewhere with my mom & sister, I didn't smoke quite as much as I'd usually start with. Well, it doesn't really fucking matter. Why? Because it was plenty.
My choices were Holy Roller OG & Strawberry Cough. Obviously you know what I picked.
Strawberry Cough from Natural State Medicinals.
Sativa dominant hybrid
•Sativa--85%
•Indica--15%
•THC--19.3%
•CBD--.034
•CBN--.13
•THC-A--2.22
•Pinene--1.19%
•Myrcene--0.29%
**And thanks to the high Pinene percentage causing a bronchodilator effect, I'm breathing easier and my chest doesn't feel as tight.
It was a smooth fruity smoke that went down sweet. The buds weren't exactly/overly sticky but definitely not dry.
*allergy shots yesterday so I couldn't pick up on as many smells as usual.
However, the depth of the scent & flavor profiles make me wonder if it's a good thing my senses weren't up to par.
I picked up a layered medley of something sweet, possibly exotic mixed with the slightest hint of diesel which faded into more of a licorice meets root beer dancing around an ever changing enticingly sweet aroma. The taste was quite similar but not very strong. It left a soft sweetness behind with a small afterthought of hops, root beer and licorice.
--One reason I chose this strand over Holy Roller OG is a reviewer said it was good for "writer's block" and I absolutely love to write; which I'm sure you see. While many others said it's perfect for a calm day whether it's with friends/company or alone. I was (am) able to focus; however the focus seems/ed to be one directional not allowing much room for multi-tasking.
The high started immediately and slowly built up. Mostly a head high, however it slips into a body high just enough for you to relax or get up and do something.
I'm not sure of a word to describe this, if there is one, particular feeling I've been having since that first bowl. The only thing I could compare it to is a "normal" dissociative moment because daydream just doesn't cut it. And yes, we all have dissociative moments at some point. If you're not quite sure how they feel, hang on, this bud will give you quite an insight to those moments and make you realize just how often you have them as everything becomes automatic; walking as natural as breathing & your body just does it as you feel yourself go from consciousness yet still very aware of all that you are doing. For the most part.
Between the intense focus, the blank yet very active mind, and the feeling that I'm sitting next to or looking down at myself, well, it's almost as if I've left my body.
I felt/feel as though I am looking over my shoulder reading as I type.
This flower is definitely giving me a firm & grounded yet out of body experience making it great for yoga, meditation, studying, reading, hell, working with Oracle/tarot decks. Any witchy smokers that have a spell that's needs to be done, smoke this first, you'll thank me.
Just don't expect to be able to do too many things at once, like chew gum, walk, and look at your phone. You'll likely land on your ass which is numb by this point.
My head is full of thoughts from writing this to my next sentence to paragraph to the "topic" I want to bring up while actually typing what I'm currently thinking in this exact moment.
This strain is definitely making me use my brain & I can see myself actually accomplishing something. If only I could think of what I wanted to do.
It's now 5:20PM, I started actually writing this around 3:20PM but I did have to take a break while we went in for our errand.
Basically, I'm fucking loving this strain right now. Great aroma, good taste, and a smooth inhale combined with the produced high & health benefits make this an all around great strain.
Approximately a small-medium sized bowl & a 1/2 is all it took to help with pain, nueropathy, breathing issues, stress, etc. And it's still helping a little over 2hrs later.
I'll be sure to try this on a more busy day to see if there are any changes and what they are.
Trust me when I say that you need to get your hands on this strain. But give yourself a few minutes after those first couple of times to get used to this newfound experience.
