Ice Cream Mintz
4/22/2021
Coming from Greenstone Holdings,
A collaboration between Cookies and Seed Junky,
Child to Wedding Cake and Gelato 33,
With 26% THC cannabinoid,
I review: Ice Cream Mintz, a.k.a. ICM
The buds are large with space between nodes, hiding hues of purple on the inside. The bud was also very crumbly when broken down by hand, but very sticky when ground up with a grinder. ICM has an extremely musky, gassy, smell like Wedding Cake, a light citrus, floral, lemony scent like Gelato #33, and a weird, but very subtle spicy/peppery/herbal undertone that is hard to catch, unless you really smell for it. ICM smells amazing when ground up; it carries a very skunk-like smell that reminds me of smelling weed for the first time in middle school xD and it has a pungent, milky aroma when smoked. (Mind you: weed gives off different smells and aromas when in different stages from bud to when you smell the second-hand smoke, and this strain is a good example of that)
Though ICM is an indica hybrid dominant, the first hour or two had me very energized and walking around, wanting to do something productive or physically spontaneous, if that makes sense (lol). Definitely can feel the hybrid part there, until the indica effects take over and you feel your body get heavy, tingly, couch-locked and have major munchie vibes, like a typical stoner would feel lolol
A couple of thing about this strain that I took of note of that I should share:
- ICM somewhat had an arousal effect on me, because my pp was on PP mode for certain times out of the blue…. And I’m not complaining but definitely would’ve liked a heads up lmao
- Made me order more pizza than I could finish in one sitting, but again, that is okay for me because I am a pizza whore
- KO me within seconds after eating - I can never catch myself falling asleep after eating when I smoke this strain, it KO'd me really fast
-Should make a bigger emphasis on sedative, because this is a pretty potent indica
Some negative side effects I experienced was:
- Dry eyes (my eyes are pretty small already, but my homies said they couldn't see them at all)
- Very dry coughs (pretty harsh if you rip it from a bong back to back, but holy hell, it will punch you in the chest)
- Couch-locked when tired, so make sure you don’t have anything important to do when you smoke this
- Will randomly give me a boost of energy, then completely crash like a kid off a sugar rush - was kind of annoying when I wanted to stay awake to watch a movie or be aware of something while stoned, but it is an indica so can’t complain about that
Overall, if you’re looking for a strain that’ll have you up for the first couple hours before leaving your body tingly and hungry, then One-Two punches you to sleep after eating - this is the strain for you, imo lol
Definitely would recommend to average and everyday smokers, first-timers might want to watch out - I feel you won’t enjoy the high and might green out faster than you could hit the joint again.
