Animal Cookies is the perfectly split hybrid. With enough gumption to keep you going; the swell mellow body doesn't make you dead weight; instead a steady flow of focus and creativity weighs in. The taste is sweet and the after-smell is woody with a bit of skunk. Overall, it's a house friendly strain; or at least separate dwelling (within a house) strain. This is my favorite strain in much time because of the perfect indica/sativa mashup.

Hints of lemon burst into a rounded citrus palate. With a medium head, there was some anxiety for the brief lift off. After, the plant retains a subtle citrus effect without any woodiness; it stays slim and mild for the duration of the burn. I like the strain when the paranoid bumps don't interfere. If you are prone to paranoia, I would not recommend this strain.

This strain falls in my five top. I think because it's old-school enough, while getting the job done in a highly provocative way. The Sativa is generous enough to get the low buzz of Buddha bliss. Then zen gets the *iss knocked out of it by an upward shift to an Indica blitzkrieg. The taste and smell are made for Donkey Kong. The bodacious banana (literally) taste and smell are a strong under current. Yet another reason to like the strain; while the kush is evident, the aftersmell is more like burnt citrus and not as obnoxious and easier to contain if you live with non-smokers. Overall, if you're an old-school West Coast kind of guy/gal, you'll be in heaven during bouts of energy and talkative heights on white sand beaches.

Heady and euphoric with a smooth talkative (creative) boost that falls to a focused state of relaxation.

A euphoric rush holds you to a state of sleepiness (or sleep) then falls into a focused creativity.

Uplifting with creative/talkative qualities and a gentle let down. No passing out here. It has a smooth transition with residual creative effects. Perfect for anxiety (although had a few mild paranoid episodes so watch out for that side-effect). I have PTSD and find this a good strain if you're in the depressive or especially the "blank feeling" state of the condition. I happened to have some sprained muscles and the strain helped to an extent.
