Guava X

 Guava X smalls by Wellman Farms may be the best $30 eighth I've ever bought, going back twenty-three years to mids wrapped in a napkin from this tough Sicilian dude in Harvard Square that I knew. Wellman's Farmer's Friend line puts out some good grass for stoners on a budget--previous strains I've tried include a delicious Mango Haze with an indulgent high and a MAC #1 that delivered the true spiritual healing powers of cannabis in general, and a well-balanced hybrid in particular.

 Somehow the Guava X delivers all this and more. Open the bag, you catch the smell from a brand-new box of sneakers. I recommend not grinding it real fine but just breaking it up really course--a little goes a long way, burning slow with all the fruity flavor you'd expect--the high can be a little overwhelming, even to an Indo smoker with a heavy tolerance--this strain is really a plant ally, a teacher, a friend--over-indulging is a waste here; just take it as it comes.

 The illumination of a tropical sativa, the relaxation of a fruity indica--but without the sharp thrill of intoxication, so much as the undeniable certainty that everything in this life if for the best, if only we cherish in our hearts the immortal light of the undying Sun.

Available now at Blue River Terps for $29 plus tax (just $29 on Tax-Free Tuesdays...) per eighth

THC you later...

Fave Strains of 2024

Image
 Some of my favorite and most memorable strains I've smoked over the past year: Trop Cherry: Anything from the Tropicanna family is sure to please. Delicious terpenes and a powerful sativa head-high balanced by the tropical flavors providing more of a well-balanced hybrid mood boost. Got some of the flower from  High Mark  about a year ago; I still remember that as being a significant high that didn't just effervesce in 15 minutes. Then I had a pre-roll pack for New Year's Eve - I was able to be incredibly, satisfyingly high all day long, have a few drinks, and still stay up through Return of the King (Extended Edition) and to watch the ball drop.  Runtz: Maybe the best strain of all time? From wake-and-bake (you're gonna have the best day of your life!) to right before passin' out on the couch watching the same sitcoms (sweet dreams) it's always a good time to smoke Runtz. Not overwhelming, but certainly whelming , usually testing around 27% THC, a well-balance...

I Can't Quit You Baby (but I gotta put you down for a while)

    I wake up at 6:00 Monday morning and don't even think about smoking. Still high from the night before, I stumble about the livingroom and collapse into the sofa, pick up The Two Towers and wait for the letters to sit still before my groggy eyes, crusted with stoned sleep and dreams I can't recall.      7:00 I absently scrape my little metal tool in the empty container and realize if I can get it all together there's one more dab of rosin left in here!     Now I'm high but I'll soon come down and gotta go to work...and the dispensary doesn't open till 9. Oh wouldn't it be nice to just come down to Earth, re-enter the real world and just take a break for a while.     But Nietzsche says there is no  'real world'        It's just a lie, an unattainable (and ultimately useless) ideal to slander life. In some ways, getting high becomes that ideal, that 'real world' for the compulsive stoner, thinking things would all ma...

SFV OG (Favorite Things)

San Fernando Valley OG Kush by Originals       This review should have to wait to Christmas, as it's going to be full of a few of my favorite things. First of all, yesterday I grabbed a HALF of SFV OG Kush by Originals for UNDER EIGHTY BUCKS at Blue River Terps on Tax-Free Thursday !      San Fernando Valley OG Kush is a fire cut of a classic strain (OG Kush) and said to have more cerebral sativa-like effects than other OGs. It will definitely wake you up as I can attest after baking this morning! But now let me sip my coffee for a while as I contemplate this perfect high...which to me is ultimately a hybrid feeling of balanced mental and physical effects...likewise, a sweet and slightly spicy bouquet, a little fruity but not dessert-like, almost humble and yet satisfying compared to Originals' Gelato, for example. The brand specializes in OG Kush and other classic strains...again, the Gelato is perfect, extremely potent, aromatic, relaxing and flavorful: ...
