Name: Cali Mist

From: A Soothing Remedy (Dispensary – Long Beach)

Grade: A- 

Type: Sativa

Price: $175/ ½ oz

Looks: Vibrant green buds covered in tiny crystals overcome by massive amounts of bright orange hairs that extend far beyond the bud itself.  Hairy monster weed.  I have never seen as many hairs or larger hairs on any other bud!  Big ol’ fluffy, sparse nugs.

This particular batch appears to have been poorly manicured and possibly needed another day or two to dry, as you’ll see larger scraggly green leaves that remain on the buds and they retain quite a bit of moisture (but smoke great).  Any imperfections, however, don’t change the fact that this is an incredible strain of medical marijuana with fun effects.

Smell: Fresh, earthy, sweet and citrusy all at the same time.  The aroma is pretty distinct .  When I stick my nose in my jar of Cali Mist and inhale deeply the result is always a big sigh of happiness, a s^*t-eating grin that instantaneously expands across my face and a strong desire to get down to tokin’!

Taste: Fresh, sweet and subtle.  It tastes just like it smells – earthy with citrus undertones.

Buzz Type:  Light, happy and whimsical!  Introspective, especially when you can quietly observe your surroundings and just let your mind run.

This is not a super-charged mind gripping sativa like Super Silver Haze.  Instead it serves up a very laid back yet on point mind – a head that’s spacey yet stimulated in a way that’s different from most other strains.   Mild but delightful body high.  The overall buzz is medium in strength unless you smoke extra for a stronger effect.

Buzz Length: Medium.  I’d say it lasts an hour or so but it all depends on how much you smoke.

Overall: This is a fantastic everyday strain that’s perfect for any time of day.  It’s a light, smooth, pleasant smoke.  Cali Mist brightens my day, puts me in a great mood and mindset, and allows me to be productive AND blazed!  On the other hand, I can also get way baked and just veg out if that’s what I’m in the mood for.  That’s why it’s one of my favorite strains.

The relaxing nature of this strain may be relieving for mild to medium pain, like muscle pain, especially if you want to retain a functional mind.  It’s also fantastic for anxiety and depression.  It doesn’t inhibit sleep for me, despite the fact it’s a sativa, so it’s great for morning, noon and nighttime enjoyment.

Buzz Report:  An airy head change complimented by pervasive clarity of thought — a trip in itself.  That’s what I like most about this strain.  The body high is subtle and relaxing, which perfectly suits the complexity of the head trip.  It can make life seem like a movie montage when put to some groovy tunes, so throw on your favorite upbeat CD and enjoy!  -darling.nicki

Name: Jack Herer

From: Long Beach Organics (Dispensary – Long Beach)

Grade: A+

Type: Sativa

Price: $20/G

Looks: You can tell just by looking at it that this is something special. Nicely colored hairs, nooks and crannies are full of trichomes. Very pretty.

Smell: This smells like my default scent of marijuana. What I always thought it should smell like. Green, earthy with a nice hint of pine.

Taste: Absolutely delicious. Earthy and piney, with a distinct sweetness to it out of my Vapor Genie. Out of a pipe, it loses a lot of the sweetness, but it still has a strong, pleasant flavor.

Smokeability: Vapor Genie – Flawless. Tasty, smooth, etc. Pipe – Still very tasty, but there’s a tiny bit of harshness to it. Not enough to make me cough, even with a large toke, but I could feel it in there.

Buzz Type: Very high. Extreme positive moodshift, great mental clarity, not a hint of paranoia. Happy, almost giddy – though I did pass the line way into giddy after watching a video of a cute kitten. Very energetic, almost speedy. There is absolutely no heaviness in this.

Buzz Length: Moderate-long. An average sized bowl lasted a couple hours, maybe a bit more.

Overall: EXTREMELY nice bud. It has everything. This is my first A+ smoke. It really does everything right. This is, in my opinion, an EXCELLENT strain for those (like me) suffering from depression, loss of motivation, fatigue, etc. I also suffer from anxiety, and I don’t get the paranoid sketchy feeling that some of the really high energy sativas give me.

Buzz Report: I bought a Vapor Genie recently, and I wanted a really top notch strain to try in it. I’ve been hearing rave reviews about Jack Herer, so I figured I’d give it a shot. I also smoked it out of my regular pipe, so I’m covering both aspects in this review.

Had a moderate onset. Took a couple of minutes after my first toke to start feeling it. But when I felt it, I definitely felt it. I was first hit by a positive wave. My mindset instantly flipped to “YAY!”. After that, I was hit by a smooth rush of energy. I love that speedy feeling, and this was as smooth and as clear as I’ve felt it. It wasn’t an obnoxious energy that’s uncomfortable until you jog around to wear it off a bit, but it’s definitely there.
This is an absolutely amazing strain. If you get a chance, check it out. Unless it’s poorly grown, you’re sure to be in for a treat   -Ghost Guy

Submitted by: Bodhiless

Name: Maui Wowee

From: Private Dealer, Philadelphia

Grade: A (Maybe an A+, but I’m sure it doesn’t stack up to some of the other A+ stuff on Marijuana Reviews.)

Type: Sativa

Price: $60/8th

Looks: Immaculate.  The bud matter has lime green, forest green and deep purple coloration and crawls with long, neon-orange hairs.  It is covered in stout, bulbous trichomes that frost it densely and evenly.

Smell: This bud has an overwhelming citrus odor.  A whiff of the bud renders a pure, lemony scent but the mason jar that I keep it in has an unmistakable and powerful grapefruit odor.

Taste: Tangy, with a sweet hint of fuel.  The smoke is thick and hot, fairly cough-inducing.

Buzz Type: An energetic, focused sativa head high with an exceptionally comfortable and relaxed feel.  Not trippy at all, as some strong sativas are; actually, the buzz was very sedate and indica-like, but it was very clear and euphoric.

Buzz Length: Very long, maybe the longest I have ever experienced.  As a light smoker, I was high for 3.5 hours on .6 grams (I was hitting a jay with another head) before I decided to go to sleep – and at that point I was still quite euphoric.  I imagine it would keep most patients medicated for at least 2 hours, if not longer.

Overall: In my personal opinion, this California-grown Maui Wowee provides an ideal high.  As someone who tends to favor indica strains, this bud kept me feeling an intense head buzz without that paranoia or hallucination that distracts me from enjoying most powerful sativas.  I thoroughly enjoyed this cannabis and it ranks with the best that I’ve come across in my encounters with private dealers.  -Bodhiless

Thank you Bodhiless for a great review and some tasty pics!

Name: Sour Diesel

From: Herbal Discount Center (Dispensary – Long Beach)

Grade: A

Type: Sativa

Price: $22/gram

Looks: Very nice.  Nicely dusted with trichs and a few orange hairs as well.

Smell: Skunky and sour.  Very, very nice.

Taste: It had an incredibly familiar sour taste to it.  I can’t quite place my finger on it.  Very nice though.

Buzz Type: Very high.  Everything is somewhat dreamlike but you’re not mentally clouded.  There’s just a hint of heaviness.

Buzz Length: Moderate.  Couple of hours on a decent bowl.

Overall: The smoke is incredibly smooth.  Huge, thick hits without any coughing.  A couple of bucks more than most of my usual strains, but I’ll buy again.

Buzz Report: This one was a bit of a creeper.  Had light sensations after I was done smoking but it felt very weak.  A few minutes later, as I was cursing the dispensary for selling me bunk, it started to hit me.  I was extremely pleased with it.  Slight paranoia, but nothing too bad.  This is a very nice strain and it seems as though I got another great hit from the Herbal Discount Center in Long Beach.

P.S. Sorry about the dirty label.  Just worked on my car for the first time and decided to celebrate with my recent purchase.  -GhostGuy

From: Horizon Non-Profit Collective (Dispensary – San Francisco)

Grade: A

Type: Sativa

Price: $60/8th

Looks: The nugs are a lighter shade of green, dense and spindly in places.

Smell: Distinct, strong and spicy.

Taste: The taste is very similar to the smell; there is a faint hint of sweet tea on the exhale.

Buzz Type: Energetic.

Buzz Length: Long, 2-3 hours.

Overall: After having Super Silver Haze recommended to me, when I saw it at the dispensary, I knew that I wouldn’t pass it up.  Well worth it’s price tag, this strain has been an absolute pleasure to smoke.  The high that you get within the first few hits is incredible.  It is uplifting, energetic and well-balanced and before long the body high creeps up on you.  Keeping your mind alert while relaxing the body without weighing you down.

Not as focused as some other sativas, my mind is all over the place and as long as I don’t have to think too much, this high is just perfect.  This is the perfect strain for when you want to just get out and go somewhere, whether it be hiking in the woods or going for a run or walk in the park.  Don’t expect to be able to comprehend much or be very intelligible.  -Amanda

I love that Amanda rocks the great camera that brings all her reviews to life.  So up close and personal, I feel like a nug voyeur.  -Mrs. Chubbs

Name: NYCD

From: De Rokerij

Grade: A

Type: Sativa

Price: $12/gram

Looks: White buds with red hairs and minimal emerald green fan leaves.

Smell: Grapefruit and lemon mixed together.

Taste: Has that distinct Diesel citrus flavor that never gets old and really makes it hard to exhale when it is this delicious.

Buzz Type: Uppity heady high that still kept you very alert and sharp.  This would be a great wake and bake or daytime smoke.

Buzz Length: Medium.  Lasted an hour to two hours depending on how much we would smoke at a time.

Overall: NYCD is one of the tastiest strains in the world as far as I’m concerned.  This review is from a trip I took in December of 2007.  I purchased this at the second De Rokerij location that is near the Doors 2 “Whisky Bar” coffeeshop.

Name: Organic Jack Herer

From: Private dealer

Grade: A+

Type: Sativa

Price: $13/g

Looks: What a strange looking strain Jack Herer is.  Nice sized buds with lots of glands full of sweet THC.  The hairs are blood red.

Smell: Musky and extremely lemony.

Taste: Slight tingle in the back of the throat, but otherwise very smooth.  The smoke has a lemon flavor.  It is very enjoyable without being overpowering.

Buzz Type: Deep cerebral high.  I feel like Professor Xavier from X-Men sitting in that room with the helmet on listening to my swirling thoughts and ideas.  After smoking half a small joint, my senses and energy levels increased dramatically.  Great for visionary artists.

Buzz Length: Very long.  A reasonable amount of my good friend Jack has kept me nicely baked for about two hours now.

Overall: Jack Herer is in my top 3 sativas of all time.  Ranks up there with original Maui Wowi.  The taste is not amazing, but the high makes up for anything else this bud is lacking. 

There is nothing that Jack Herer doesn’t help.  It’s great for sex, asthma, headaches, glaucoma, socializing, thinking and boredom.  Amazing strain!  –Demo11

I always like to see multiple reviews of the same strain.  It’s amazing how strains of medical marijuana vary from location to location.  Jack Herer will always remind me of our first time in Amsterdam – can’t wait to go back!  –Mrs. Chubbs

Name: AK-47

From: Natures Medicine (Loveland Colorado)

Grade: A

Type: Sativa

Price: $15/G, $50/8th

Looks: Lime green with some darkness mixed in and very dark orange hairs. Almost a golden amber color.

Smell: Very pungent and very cheesy skunk smell. Hard to hide or mask.

Taste: Is awesome. I love this stuff. A deep piney taste with a hint of floral aftertaste. Also nails your lungs with some serious expansion. Can’t help but cough up a lung.

Buzz Type: Big sativa high. Knocks you down if you are not careful. For being a sativa AK-47 has a hell of a punch to it. Not much of a body buzz to speak of but it bakes your head so well that you think your body is baked and you just want to relax and have fun.

Buzz Length: Surprisingly long. About 2-3 hours or more on about a quarter of a bowl or about 4-5 nice puffs.

Overall: Still on the hunt for a danky indica but these sativas are sure keeping me satisfied. AK-47 is definitely one I would enjoy smoking again and again for the intense buzz and awesome taste. Maybe I will get some clones for this and see what we can do with it.  –Skunk Meister

Name: Organic Grapefruit Diesel

From: Private Source

Grade: A-

Type: Sativa

Price: $10/Gram cdn

Looks: Grapefruit Diesel is a very visually pleasing bud. Large dense THC covered buds, with spots of a pinkish hue. There is almost no stem at all, which is the way I like it.

Smell: Bitter. Like rotten fruit, with a citrus twist.

Taste: Smooth with a fruity dank finish on the exhale.

Buzz Type: Immediate headstone. Keep smoking and your vision could start to become trippy, lights have a slight trail to them. Helps asthma and headaches. I also noticed how clear my buzz was, it was like I had an internal checklist in my brain. Every time I had a task to perform, my mind was listing everything I needed to do. It was quite helpful.

Buzz Length: Medium. I was happily high for about 1.5 hours.

Overall: Grapefruit Diesel is not the most potent sativa I have tried, but it’s clear, helpful high is just what I needed this week. Very enjoyable smoke, I would recommend to all the sativa lovers out there.  –Demo11

Based on the helpfulness of the buzz I wish I was able to get my hands on some Organic Grapefruit Diesel. Sounds like it’s a great “working” buzz.  –Chubbs
