I specifically tracked down some Sage while in Amsterdam after hearing it was selling for 25 euros per gram (about $30). After finding the shop that was selling it and actually trying some, I was pretty disappointed.
Name: Sage
From: Betty Boop (Coffee Shop – Amsterdam)
Grade: B
Type: Sativa
Price: $12/G
Looks: Looks good. Nice buds with a golden sheen. Tightly wound orange hairs.
Smell: Smells like a bag of freshly cut grass. Reminded me of a nice lawn.
Taste: Pretty much just like it smelled. Not good at all.
Buzz Type: Immediately felt the buzz. Forhead got a little warm like I was about to be hit with something good but then nothing happened.
Buzz Length: Short.
Overall: After the hype that was built up around this expensive weed by this couple we met at the 420 Cafe, I was completely let down by the actual bud.
Buzz Report: After smelling the herb I new it was not going to be very potent. I ended up grinding up the entire nug and rolling it up with some Greenhouse Ice I had left over from earlier in the day. The Ice saved the day for sure. –Chubbs

Looks really similar to the Ak-47 I submitted, which I was told was a hybrid but they didn’t know the exact genetics
I have a review coming of this strain and it was freakin awesome and more of a Indica than Sativa. This strain seems to be hit or miss because I had some of it previous to the one I have now and it sucked…so…
Ive had sage and sage crossed with sour d. I must say the sour cross was better and for some reason the sour buds are becoming a favorite. Any strain mixed with a sour that Ive tried has been killer.
@twylights: I have not reviewed it yet but check out the Sour Kush pic on the http://www.nuggetry.com menu. Is SICK!
interesting review, must have been a bad batch. i thought it was one of the most unique tasting spice ive had, with a thunderous cerebral buzz
I agree with PTX a great medicinal sativa but its not going to be a hard hitter still a great daytime smoke!!!
Betty Boop used to be a half decent shop about 5-6 yrs ago. Now the supply is whack and the owners are huge douche’s. Not a place for premium buds.
@meangreenmartian: Agree.

The fresh cut grass smell from weed makes me want to vomit. If it has the lawn smell then it means that it hasn’t been cured. If you cut a bud off a plant it will have that smell, but after it’s cured then it will get a whole different smell.
looks like a failed grow to me. ive read a lot of good things about this strain in the past. hopefully we can get a better example up here soon
that sucks because Sage is so bomb the rush it gives is awsome i was chiefing it out of a vape so that could be part of the reason
Smoking the S.A.G.E right now and its not that bad…then again I’m smoking on stuff from norcal and the review is Amsterdam lol. It smells and tastes too old school for my liking but the high is nice. even mix of head and body high. sativa dom but thats fine by me lol. B- in my book…if I owned a book that I rate strains in >.> yeah S.A.G.E got me baked lol
That’s too bad you had a bad experience with SAGE. When grown properly, it has an amazing bright sandalwood flavor that you can taste 5 minutes later
Its a powerful Sativa too, very good for daytime use. Any Sativa dominant from T.H.Seeds is excellent!
