Rolling Stoned

  This is a really potent pre-roll. I just lit up one of these .5 gram babies, and put it out halfway through, amazed by the intense flavor and almost overwhelmed by the high--I can barely write words in my notebook as I stare through the paper into infinity--hopefully some sense can be made in the morning when I type it up, wishing I'd'a saved such a powerful roach.
