95 points out of 100
Price: $37 CAD/eighth
I was hesitant to step into a BC Cannabis store, essentially government-owned dispensaries; these stores are ideal for deal-hunters and newbies, but I was looking for that good craft. You can’t smell weed in Vancouver unless the store eats the cost of a jar, and they display them in futuristic aroma contraptions. Most stores I visited don’t, and if they do, they’re months-old. But you can check the jars and bags for the package date, and Lucy In The Sky (Afghani x Skunk #1) was packed on Valentine’s day.
The Coast Mountain Cannabis website says this strain is also called Lemon Diesel, but genetically, visually, and nasally, this strongly reminded me of Jack Herer. My eighth was just one glorious, conical nug, iced out and crawling with tangerine hairs. It had that funky, pepper aroma in Jack that eludes description. The grower, Coast Mountain Cannabis, transparently states on their website that they do not grow for high THC; this boasts a modest 19%, but checks all the boxes for well-grown, healthy weed. This offered many of Jack Herer’s zany effects but tempered, ideal for long conversations in the hot tub (or is that just me?), walking the dog, and, well, vibing.
