A chronicle of one California transplant's adventures with legalized marijuana. Dispensary & Strain Reviews: A marijuana journal of sorts.

Remember when they came out with Banana Frosted Flakes? Well that shit sucked. What those fools shoulda came out with was Banana Kush instead…because that shit’s GRRREAT! It’s all kushy and banana-ish with this wonderful dankyness…all perfect for summer and nice weather and Sublime tunes and stuff. Banana Kush goes really well with bikinis and Red Stripe beer and ukuleles. And, remember that scene in Point Break where all that bonding took place over football and surfing and bonfires and hanging out at the beach and shit…Well, moments like that are when it’s a perfect time to fire up some Banana Kush. Also any other time during the day or night.

Hindu Skunk Impressions (Medithrive, SF)

According to Leafly: Hindu Skunk is a hybrid cross of Hindu Kush and Skunk #1. 

Sneaky. Started off pretty low-key and then snuck up on me. Music started sounding different, like it was coming from all around and switching around. a little, really slow worry loop, but kind of a stoney, eyes at half mast high mixed with a motivated-want-to-do-shit-online high.

Listening to: Radiohead, The King of Limbs

What I feel like doing: Unsure, sort of flitting between things at the moment. A pretty forgetful/short term memory impairing high, like a lot of them. Feels not really lethargic, kind of energetic in a weird, heavy way.  

Worrying a bit the music is loud, this feels very audio-focused in a tiny bit of a psychedelic way. 

Note: It burns really fast, like people said. Hardly lit the bowl and it way all on fire already. Watch out for the first hit.

Drinking: Nothing, surprisingly

My Current Least Favorite Strains:

Purple Lambsbread (Berkeley Patients Group): Night-time paranoia, worry-looping, not relaxing, strong

All-Star Jack Frost (Berkeley Patients Group): Worry loop, not euphoric at all, anxiety

Tahoe OG Kush (Medithrive): Super stoney, very 'underwater' feeling though a little bit of pleasant visual effects

Blue Dream (Medithrive): Silly, stoney, not very interesting...'the dumbs'

[californiawhoa]

My Current Most Wanted Strains:

- Pineapple Purps (Berkeley Patients Group) [Super clear headed, social, productive, not too strong]

- Pineapple Jack (Medithrive, SF) [Great for outdoors, social times, anything. Upbeat and positive]

Review: Super Sour Diesel (Green Door, SF)

Type: Sativa 

Sour Diesel x Sour Diesel

Stonier than expected, definitely not clear-headed, but motivated, somewhat focused, motivated. Stoney feeling causing minor worry loop action, but very managable. forgetful, but pretty focused when remembering. feel it in arms and body more than expected. really nice sour smell, smells great. feel like being alone...not sure what it would feel like socially.

what i did: hung out online, fltted between things i've wanted to do online (i.e. order on amazon, blog), wanted to listen to headphones, have good quality music i could tune into

Tahoe OG (via Marijuana Testing | Cannabis Testing : Marijuana Strain Search)

[californiawhoa]

The really interesting thing about this is that CBD, which has never (before the recent Home Office study) been routinely monitored turns out to be playing a significant role. Indeed, it’s almost the polar opposite of THC in its effects in some respects. If THC is linked to psychotic type episodes, CBD has anti psychotic properties. If THC is thought to cause panic attacks, CBD calms those impulses. Put in terms the Daily Mail could understand, if THC is “bad”, CBD is “good”.
