Girl Scout Cookies from New Age Medical (Edgewater)

As with all of my reviews, I wasn't high at all when I sampled this bud. I like to keep my palette unaffected by smoke and to be completely sober in order to give the best review possible.

The Bud

Appearance - 10/10

Nug - The nug was covered in trichomes. So much so, that you can't see through to the plant material on many parts of the bud. Pretty much as good as it gets appearance wise.

Ground -  A little lighter looking than I was expecting, and slightly drier that the than you would guess looking at the bud itself.

Smell - 8.5/10

Nug - Smell is very pungent. It's very earthy almost like a top soil, I feel like I can smell the minerals in the soil. I had a friend in high school tell me that, "the best weed smells like baby poop." This weed smells a little bit like baby poop.

Ground - Pretty much the same as the nug. Not too much stronger when ground up.

Taste 7/10

My first drag almost reminded me of a barbeque restaurant. It was very sweet. My second and third hit tasted more like a muffin or maybe even a cookie. Not bad, but not my favorite flavor profile. 

Burn - 9/10

.The burn was very even and good. There was no crackling or popping at all and the ash turned completely white when I was done. Good indication of a quality grow.

High - 10/10

The high was very powerful and long lasting. Several hours after smoking and I'm still high. It has a good mix of body and head high trending on the heady side.

The Dispensary

My experience at New Age Medical was fine. The interior is nice. I went during the day on a weekday so it was empty when I got there. My complaint about this place is the pricing. $20-$25/g isn't just on the high-end, it is the high-end. 

Conclusion

All and all, the Girl Scout Cookies from New Age Medical was really good, but really expensive. At the price I paid, I probably won't return unless they are running a good deal. The bud was great but there is comparable bud out there for 1/3 the price.

Strawberry Cough from High Country Healing (Silverthorne)

As with all of my reviews, I wasn't high at all when I sampled this bud. I like to keep my palette unaffected by smoke and to be completely sober in order to give the best review possible.

The Bud

Appearance - 8/10

The bud itself looked pretty good. The nugs were tight and their trichome coverage was great. Very dense. A little dry.

Smell - 8.5/10

The smell is great, but very mild. It smells like a combination of flowers and mango. It is extremely "fresh" smelling and has notes of citrus and pine. I think it would have been stronger if it wasn't dry.

Taste 8/10

My first hit was a small toke. Just barely burned the bud so I could get more of a vape and less of a burn. The taste was good and clean. A little bit of that "blue"/hash taste that I love so much. I can't say I tasted strawberry at all but that's ok.

Burn - 10/10

The bud burned smooth and evenly. There was no crackling or popping and the entire bowl turned to white ash when I was complete.

High - 10/10

Very clear headed and motivated. Slight body high but not enough to consider myself "stoned," just high, which is exactly what I want. My eyes didn't feel/or look "cashed out" at all which is rare for me.

Key Terpenes - As provided by Analytical360.com

Based on several analysis of Strawberry Cough from different location, the most common/highest content terpene is Linalool.

The Dispensary 

My entire experience at High Country Healing was great. The staff was friendly, the wait was reasonable (especially for Summit County) and they have a nice waiting area; complete with water, puzzles and ski movies to keep the patrons entertained. Their prices are a little high compared to Denver but competitive to everything in Summit County. They also offer a 20% discount to those who live in the Summit county area, which is really nice if you're a local.

Conclusion

All and all, the Strawberry Cough from High Country Healing was really good bud. It's not 1-and-done weed by any means, but it does give a great high. The bud was slightly dry but not completely dried out. I'm sure I'll be back in a few weeks time.
