Cake Crasher

 Cake Crasher
by Harbor House Collective

    I wasn't sure what to get, but with $40-some in my wallet and it being Tax-free Tuesday, I knew I wanted some premium flower today. Tired of nickel-and-diming it lately...anyway, this seemed like the best bet---haven't had anything in the wedding cake family in a while. It sure has that fresh dank smell you'd expect---much more flavor than I've gotten on opening a bag of Harbor House in a while; recently their Runtz was disappointing and did not represent the strain well. This is different. While I read different reviews, and some people call this strain a sativa, replete with anxiety and/or busybody syndrome (two things I definitely did not need after work today) the genetic logic would seem to support those that claimed it had a more indica/hybrid effect, inducing munchies, couch-lock, and gregariousness. This is what I was hoping for.
    The smoke itself was real good. These dessert-flavored strains tend to do it for me, beyond my medicinal or therapeutic needs to just pure pleasure. It hits hard though---the caryophyllene gives a spicy kick to the three-layered indulgence of myrcene, limonene and linalool that lay the foundation of the classic wedding cake terpene profile. I didn't even cash the bowl [I'm getting ready to, an hour-and-a-half later as I type this up.]
    I was enjoyably F-d up immediately, enjoying one of the first fine days of Spring as I stood outside hitting my pipe slowly. Nonetheless, I held my own against my son in Street Fighter 6, which is usually the case more with a sativa, giving some credence to that idea...however, when I wasn't doing well I didn't sweat it, just accepted losing (which is a pretty big deal to me) and in any case had a good time, didn't get overly distracted by my internal monologue (a common side-effect of more sativa-leaning strains) and just "let it roll, baby, roll!" 
    Definitely relaxed. I chased the half-bowl with a bottle of Pilsner Urquell...a great, affordable, moderately-alcoholic Czech lager made with Saaz hops, which are also high in myrcene and caryophyllene (and higher than most strains of hops or cannabis in farnesene) and the pairing was both delicious and deeply calming.
    I just feel good, Man, happy, dig? Wish HH would make a concentrate/vape from this.

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: ...
