Sour Diesel

I FINALLY got my hands on some Sour D. Had a co-worker rant and rave about it being his fav strain growing up. I want to say that this is a tough smoke for my pallet. I typically like spicier, BC heavy strains both because I like that small peppery shot on the the first rip... but this one the taste lives up to the name... It's diesel-y, and sour on top of the pepper. It's honestly a tad on the yuck side for me. That's why no 5th star. Beyond the taste... I can see why he called it an "ideal strain". I'm well lit, but not completely floating... and I'm well body buzzed for comfort and relaxation... but not SO much that I'm velcroed... EXCELLENT high. Hit's you more behind the eyes than the head, so relaxation heavy, less stimulating. The body is just ever so softly buzzing. My limbs are lose, but I'm by no means DRIVEN to chores. Maybe that comes after the peak? All in all, this is a dope strain. Very similar to the way Purple Haze and Pineapple Express give you that buzzed body-losened limbs and slightly drops the shoulders. I'm more in the mood to cut on some music and cut a rug than to get cleaning... excellent vibe for a Sativa. Just...HEED the name if your pallet is like mine...not quite top 5... might crack my top 10 SATIVA strains. VERY good, but not quite memorable.

This is the only review I’ve ever left and I’ve been using cannabis medicinally for the past few years and used to use it a lot when I was younger. This strain I remember being a favorite of mine way back in the earlier 2000s. I hadn’t been able to find it in my area recently or at least not from a solid company. I finally found both flower form and rosin form recently from Seattles private reserve and this is without a doubt the best strain I have found to date. If used in very very small amounts it is perfect for an early morning start to your day and keeps me in a great mood from a very small amount essentially all day. For me it’s best as an early morning herb as it has really long legs on it and it’s not one that I would want to try and fall asleep to. It’s not tact or wiry but it’s just a very strong and long head my type feel where I feel perfectly content. Great for anxiety and depression in smaller amounts. I used it through my dry herb vapes. This would be the only herb I would use for my mornings if I was able to consistently get it as there’s really nothing else that can compare to it for just overall contentment. Gets me really motivated for the day as well. I’m not someone who uses it recreationally really but it is fun for that as well, but for me it’s just the perfect early morning medicine that I only need to use once and I’m in a great mood the rest of the day.

Long time toker, I favor high THC strains, sativas and sativa hybrids are my morning starter strains. I suffer from chronic pain and high tolerance has been a problem when looking for strains that will quiet the throbbing. Sour diesel gives me quick euphoria but lets me be clear eyed at the same time. That sounds like a contradiction but it's why I return to sour diesel when I can find it. It doesn't burn the throat when delivered in a vape. I don't know about flavor, it's not really what I care about when I'm seeking relief for symptoms created by arthritis. I've stopped all narcotics, I don't need them anymore and they are poison anyway. It's also a good social strain, no paranoia that I've experienced. Moderate munchies demanding something salty (or a chocolate sundae). All in all, I understand why it's so iconic.
