Amazing. best high I've had since NY Super Sour Diesel.
REALLY helps for depression. My first of the diesels and definitely wont be my last.
I think I was the only person I knew that didn't get caught up in the Sour Diesel craze. At that time, I had my favorite strains, and I didn't deviate much from them. So it being a Diesel baby didn't make me immediately have to have it. But a friend referred this strain, and I ended up really loving it! Everything about this strain is smooth, light, and airy. Uplifting, good pain relief, and mood enhancing with no couch lock, thank you Jesus! The odor has notes of sweet pine, citrus (lime/grapefruit), wood, and just a teensy bit earthy. The taste is crispy, and exactly what you'd expect from the odor. The effect is multi-staged and very effective, but not overwhelming. Airy, cerebral, uplifting, focused, and functioning. I was able to get quite a few chores done with little interference from pain. Remained effective for approx 2 hrs, and I was then able to go about my day without the "drained" feeling afterwards. I am very impressed with this strain! Definitely worth getting again and again :)

gets me centered on the project I'm working on
This is an OK strand but nothing to right home about. It is decent for mild pain relief and in moderation can help with PTSD. I wouldn't over do it with this though as anxiety is sure to come on.
Great strain. Hits quickly. I only had to fill the vaporizer halfway and it lasted all night between myself and husband. Stand out effects were euphoria and major arousal. Also, I'm not sure if this will be an isolated incident but I had NO MUNCHIES. I actually felt more full and even when fast food commercials came on (usually an instant catalyst to major munchies) I had no desire to eat. I'll have to see if this remains constant with this strain. Overall very enjoyable high for a mellow night of TV with the hubby.
This was a very weird sativa-dominant I smoked. I have horrendous illness whenever I smoke Indica, physically and mentally. At first it gives you a happy and excited buzz, not too strong but pleasant. It fades relatively quickly though and can leave you overthinking, paranoid, grumpy, etc. However, it makes you extremely hungry and quite aroused (my boyfriend and I both noticed this - I'm female)
I found this better for sleeping than Indica.
My boyfriend feels very much the same way. He has depression and anxiety and found this strain to be very unhelpful. He even went as far as to say he didn't like it that much. Personally, I feel like it just isn't that good of a sativa. It gave me more Indica effects but with a pounding heart and no lethargy or bad stomach. It didn't worsen by OCD but it didn't help at all. I felt weirdly anxious on this one and weirdly blank as well. I don't know why as I have had AK47 a much more powerful sativa-dominant with no poor effects at all.
I do have to say that it does seem to be extremely good for nausea, IBS and even menstruation. I was surprised at how healthy I felt with it despite the rapid thinking. It is okay for gaming and relaxing but better used to dance and have fun or do something a little more active. It is also good for arousal and appetite problems.
The whole experience of this went from crippling excited happy etc to gradually over time worsening until I was left feeling quite stressed for no reason. At first it was good, not harsh but with a nasty petrol and chemical taste and smell. Almost a bit like ammonia. We always smoke from gravity bottles.
In general this is one of the worst strains I have tried purely because it just isn't that good, but I will gladly take it any day for OCD relief in comparison to how physically and mentally crippled Indica leaves me.
This strain surprised me as I am a heavy indica user due to the body high. Very nice high, even experienced users will feel the effects full on. Just how its described 60/40 sativa, nice cerebral effects as well as a mild but heavy body high to get you through the day.
