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

Name: Blue Cheese

From: Private Dealer

Grade: A-

Type: Hybrid (80% Indica/20% Sativa)

Price: $50/8th, $100/qtr, $350/oz

Looks: Dark green all around, vibrant red and orange hairs douse the nuggets.  Crystals are everywhere you look on the nuggets, seriously looks like it was dipped in sugar.  Nice dense nuggets, as well.

Smell: A hint of fruit, but also overpowering skunk and a strong outdoor smell even though it’s produced indoors.

Taste: More of an expanding type of smoke.  Very potent and fresh – only way to describe it would be a “heavy hitting skunky fruit smoke”.

Buzz Type: Get up and go play some sports type of buzz.  Not a couch locking buzz, very energetic but relaxing at the same time.

Buzz Length: Solid 2.5-3 hours off two adequate sized bowls.

Overall: All in all, this bud is some of the best local bud I’ve seen in a long, long time.  As well as a great price (in my eyes).  It’s the type of bud that you don’t want to smoke.  You’d almost rather frame it and put it on the wall, haha.

Side Note: To start off I live in the suburbs about 25 min outside Detroit. When people need bud they usually go to the city to get the cheap stuff for a cheap price. Honestly that’s not me at all, Id rather smoke on the dankest bud possible and pay a higher price for higher quality.

When I met this guy and saw his operation I almost soiled myself in pleasure. He lives in a 2 story average size house, 3 bed rooms, 2.5 bath and full garage. First off, the main guy who grows it is paralyzed from the neck down. This guy was growing for 18 years before the accident that left him paralyzed. He has a helper that does 99% of the work. He’s only a few miles down the road from me which saves a trip to the city and he never bullshits us. Has about 12-20 plants going at once – most in different stages of vegetative and flowering.

When I go there he likes to talk about the bud and smoke some, which I love to hear because I’m very interested in his ways. After we smoke one, I usually hang around for a minute and chat a little more. When I leave, I place the bud in my trunk, under my spare tire hatch and usually it will still smell by the time I get home. All in all I think for the price, the quality, and the people I have to deal with, it makes getting this amazing bud, a terrific almost soul-comforting experience.  -KushManJockin

Name: Chem Dawg Hash

From: Apothecary 420 (Dispensary – Los Angeles)

Grade: A-

Genetics: Chem Dawg (Hybrid)

Type: Bubble Hash

Price: $30/half gram listed, I paid $25/half gram but don’t know why

Looks: Like mashed keif in appearance but this stuff was gooey/crumbly in texture like you would expect from a good hash.  Almost blonde.

Smell: Subtle fresh hash smell.

Taste: Normal sized bong hit of this stuff was not harsh (harsher than an equivalent weed hit though).  Exhaling was pure heaven, you could taste the THC on the smoke.  Wonderful hashy taste.

Buzz Type: I am loving the buzz qualities of Chem Dawg, it’s the closest I’ve found to my ‘perfect’ high.  Having active sativa attributes, it has that elation quality that helps depression.  A fun, clear, active type of high that still has stoney qualities.  I actually got some work done while enjoying myself!

Buzz Length: Long.  Over two hours off one bong hit.

Overall: Some great hash that I wish was more affordable.  While majestic by itself, it’s also a good mixer with any type of week.  I’ll probably keep some of this in my stash for special occasions.

Buzz Report: After a disappointing day of trying different ‘top’ sativas, this concentrate came to the rescue!  One hit and all was right with the world.  -necros

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: Durban Poison x Sensi Star

From: Private Source

Grade: B+

Type: Hybrid

Price: $60/8th

Looks: Darker green bud, loose and very light in weight.  Super crystally, shines in the light.

Smell: Like fresh fruit, slightly spicy.  When broken, the smell of this Durban Poison x Sensi Star is intense, like a bowl of fruit loops.  Burning it actually has a light fragrance, like incense.

Taste: Like grapes.  I would actually buy this strain on taste alone.

Buzz Type: Energetic.  I could smoke this and go to a meeting, still active.

Buzz Length: Pretty short buzz, I found that I was smoking alot to keep a consistent high.  Maybe an hour and a half.

Overall: My tolerance overwhelmed this bud, smoking more and more everyday.  If you’re smoking good bud consistently you may find this less potent than wanted. 

Could be better, not an exceptional bud but still above average.  Maybe it wasn’t grown in the most ideal conditions to reach it’s potential.  -valluco956

I can’t be 100% sure, but if I had to guess, I would say this was grown outdoors.  -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.

There’s just something lovable about the Diesel that’s unmistakable!  –Mrs. Chubbs

Type: Hybrid

Price: $60/8th

Looks: Bright lime green color with pinkish hues and insane trich coverage.  Long orange hairs.

Smell: This Sour Diesel x Great White Shark stunk so badly that anything short of a glass jar couldn’t contain its amazing stench.  Has a fuel-y Diesel funk.

Taste: Full flavored Diesel that leaves a fruity aftertaste that is similar to Cannalope Haze.

Buzz Length: Long.  Head races for about 90 minutes.  No fogginess after that either.

Buzz Type: Such a good sativa high that gives energy and really stimulates creativity and positive thoughts.

Overall: I was extremely satisfied when a friend brought me a few eighths of this stuff.  –Meangreenmartian

I am a big fan of Hybrids, especially when they are fruity.  Looks like this one takes the cake!  –Mrs. Chubbs
