Bubble Gum
3/17/2020
Feels fitting that my first Leafly review is for this strain. I’ve only been a medical cannabis user for about 9 months but I’ve tried quite a few different strains in that time, and have never felt compelled to write a review until Bubble Gum. Where do I even begin? I guess I’ll start by saying this was the most euphoric high I’ve ever experienced. Literally all of my worries and anxieties disappeared. I felt more relaxed and happy than I have in a long time. My mind wandered but didn’t race like it does when I’m sober (or even with some other strains). I could acknowledge the thoughts that came into my mind without clinging to each one. It’s like they floated into my brain, I noticed them, and then they floated back out like a passing cloud, and the idea that I might not remember the thoughts later didn’t give me any anxiety. For context, I have ADHD and a shit memory, and usually that causes me a lot of distress.
I vaped this while sitting out on my deck on a beautiful day listening to Beach House and found myself swaying, eyes closed, and I swear I’ve never felt better. Also, the dumbest things were so funny to me. I saw a bird get a little seed stuck on top of its beak when it was eating from my feeder and I was losing my shit trying not to laugh and scare it away.
If you struggle with depression and you’re all too familiar with that heavy feeling that comes with it, this is a strain worth trying. I felt like I was floating on a feather. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it didn’t really help my chronic pain, but my pain is extremely stubborn and resistant to any treatment so I wouldn’t take too many points off for that. It did make me feel light and tingly though, so that’s something.
Bottom line: if you have depression, anxiety, tension, or struggle with racing thoughts, this strain is an excellent medicine
