LA Confidential is supposed to be a really strong strain. I had been recommended LA Con a few different times. I finally picked some up for $10 a gram from my local shop and tried it out.
The high was only mediocre for me. It made me lazy, made my personality slip away, and made me want to sleep it off.
I would only recommend this strain to someone who is about to go to sleep. It helps fall into a deep, solid sleep.
A little bit on a sunny weekend day goes a long way. A lot is like ketamine.
Picked up an 1/8th of the LA Con from Green Door in SF - super stanky dank that's all spiny like Jack Herer. Tastes great and instantly hits the head. Strength causes wicked coughing. Feel is energetic yet dissociating. Its high THC levels can cause anxiety or paranoia.
A careful veteran's stoniness of choice.

Overall, a very good strain for relieving pain and good relaxation!
Review is actually for LA Affie, LA Confidential was the closest to it.
Review is from Mickey of Potlandia PDX.
"Instant high almost like a BHO Hit!"
Had this up in Tahoe. My buddy had it for authentic medicinal purposes (he has a pinched nerve in his neck caused by a spine injury). At first, it hits you like a mutherf__king 18 wheeler, but settles in and you feel faaaantastic. Felt great about life, and the surroundings just seem to blur into one mass while I focused on my beer, or the TV, or whatever. Nice and even the whole way too, once the first 15 minutes were over. Smells like a Kush, with nice skunky weed smell in general. Not sure I could do this everyday, but for having some friends over and listening to tunes, this stuff is great. You maintain control with the ability to be social, but could also sit in and order 5 pizzas while watching movies.
LA Confidential is one of those laid back strains that packs a nice little 'punch'!
The key here folks is supplier. I had some LA a couple months ago from one dispensary in town and it was meh. Got the most recent bag from a place a little further out and holy Hannah! Much better quality = much better effect. Ok seems logical but not kidding I almost didn't pick it up b/c of my previous experience. Even after 25 years of using cannabis I still need the occasional reminders about these things lol
So here's what I liked most about this strain relative to my pain... it relaxes me enough off the top that I get some relief of pain not just from my ability to chill mentally but also physically. With some 'new to me' acute nerve pain, this strain actually broke through and made a difference.
I've not written a post in a while cause I've been dealing with spinal problems. Needless to say, along with my severe osteoarthritis, waiting for my knee replacement, my rebuilt other knee, my calcific tendinitis in my shoulders, my skin challenges, and fighting depression, I now have ongoing sciatica with nerve pain & numbness in my leg. Walking with a limp for so long has wrecked my low back :( So after hospital x3 I've been on muscle relaxers, opiates, anti-inflammatories, acetominophin, gaba- pentin, and the physical therapist has me walking with a cane. It's been about 1.5- 2 months since this all started. I've gradually lowered and lowered the pain meds to a point where I can still work p/t and do a few other things with minimal meds and more cannabis. I'm a Sativa queen who has very quickly crammed up on Indica info as a result of my changing medical and pain needs.
LA Confidential helped my underlying or parasympathetic nervous system chill as well as my conscience mind. I take a nerve pain blocker right now but that doesn't mean the pain is gone- I just can't feel it sometimes. My body still knows it's there and it makes it very challenging for effective pain relief and rest. This strain- when good quality- hit me in the "chiller" so to speak. In minutes I felt my spine muscles relax and my back adjusted naturally. That's a sign to me I'm relaxing. My headache faded and I felt happier in a mellow kind of way. I don't like the after high munchies, but for those who have mild to moderate appetite issues this is a good one to try.
Recreationally I would use this one around a campfire or on a fishing boat in the sun. Would pair well with a light beer or a cider. Best of the west right here!
Peace peeps.
Unfortunately. I chose this strain to fall asleep but I stayed fairly awake. It wasn’t bad though. I wasn’t anxious about not sleeping and I didn’t get too munchie, just enough to make sure I eat dinner xD
Felt very creative and it was amazing for listening to music. Fun strain to chill out yet I don’t feel like I have to be lazy which I loved.
Relaxed and prepared
