The smell on this was basically nothing. There's essentially an absence of smell inside the silicone tub, which I would like to mention is decent. It's not the greatest silicone tub obviously, but it's definitely better than a hard plastic gem case, I think. I've seen silicone envelopes too, and this is far superior.
Look at the color - like a pale amber where it's thin, then darkening to golden honey where it's thickest. The consistency is like stiff taffy with a slight crisp edge. I could start to break a piece off, but it would bend before the break. However, the rest of the dab kept it's shape while bending and breaking the piece. Overall a sturdy texture.
On the inhale this is incredibly bright and sharp. There's a definite umami characteristic on the exhale and a sort of salinity in aftertaste, which also had low citrus notes. Overall, it's smooth.
After my first dab of this, I had to have more, it was so delicious. On my third hit, suddenly, I was headringing high. This was super stoney as my head rang like the inside of a bell, but pleasantly. I felt this in my eyes, and soon after I was just doped out all over my head.
The label warns of time travel as a side effect and I agree. Suddenly, I felt energized but had a sense of lazy togetherness with all the universe. While I wanted to do things, instead my mind advanced to a new, different level of consciousness.
Overall, my journey through time was not brief, nor was it long, the duration was rather tangential to a clock. I definitely grokked deeply with this, and would consider this significantly medical.
I've finally crossed over to imbibing concentrates via vape pen. Took me awhile to get over the sticker shock: were you in WA in 2014 when the shops first opened? Prices for one gram a weed were so high, I took one look and said "are you KIDDING?". Concentrate prices were even more jaw dropping - very traumatizing for the frugal, don't ya know. I think I repressed the memory! Thankfully, prices are more in line with my comfort level, and we may even make a drive to Lucid this weekend for their deals - so thank you for keeping us informed of prices!
ReplyDeleteFrom one long term smoker to another: do you feel concentrates have bolstered your tolerance considerably?
I got here in June 2015 - the prices have dropped significantly in the time I've been here.
DeleteI'm kicking out lots of concentrates over the next week or so - maybe you'll find something that sounds right to you.
Looking forward to it; still have to get around to your Lodi Dodi podcast. I swear its like you are looking over our shoulders...we buy a strain - a week later you review it!
