Dreaded coming here from all the negative reviews, until I showed up and discovered they were all lies. I genuinely enjoyed both my visits here. Sounds like some whiney annoying people were complaining just to complain.
The inside was awesome, very clean and pretty new, different from when I saw it on the news. Staff was never once rude or disgruntled, have always been pretty nice to chat with. COVID measures are on point, felt safe in there. It did affect the atmosphere a tiny bit, but that’s to be expected everywhere.
TL;DR: Great strain. Definitely recommend, I bought some more last week. If you’re sensitive like me, take the smallest hit you can and keep some whole peppercorn to chew if you have a panic attack.
**Main Review**
I have hypersensitivity to THC and a clinical anxiety disorder that has been linked to my cannabis abuse from age 16-18.
This combined with my low tolerance from not using often now (2.5 year sobriety break) makes it challenging to enjoy, so my experience will be highly biased from the perspective of a super-low tolerance.
I tried this strain based on reviews, and can say the first 15-30 minutes I almost had an anxiety attack, but I was able to keep it under control. I used an incredibly small amount, basically about a 1-hitters worth.
I had to pace around my hotel room for about 45 minutes after smoking because if I sat still, I’d feel jittery and restless, like my heart was beating too fast. I stayed calm though, it really wasn’t too bad. Hit about panic level 3 out of 5. I had some whole peppercorn at the desk to hit the eject button if it got any worse.
After that sativa spurt at the beginning, it evened out and finally hit the cruising altitude. That was the best part, the perfect blend between indica physical relaxation and light sativa mental stimulation. I sat down and sorted out all of the stray thoughts, feelings, and to-do’s that I had scattered about in my head over the past 2-3 months.
It was invigorating and liberating being that mentally productive in my personal life in a long time.
After that I just kept thinking and planning things, and had wave after wave of positivity wash over me, not caring about any negative elements in my life. The stress and pain they generated faded away, and happiness and fulfillment took over. This feeling and philosophy echoed for a few days afterwards.
This relief from negative stimuli didn’t make me want to run away from them, it just absolutely helped neutralize and helped me cope with them in a healthier manner than my sober anxiety-ridden, short-fused self normally does.
Eventually the indica portion kicked in, and laying on the bed I felt my muscles relax to the point to where they almost felt shut off, like I had to put some effort into moving them around again!
