Northern Lights

 


Northern Lights #5
Farmer's Friend by Wellman Farms

    Let me rip right into this one: I've got a lot to get off my chest (or is that just from the vaping?)---strains I've been meaning to review, political blogs I'm itching to write in this time of madness desperate for a Dr. Gonzo to cover it (and I would, if I had Thompson's free time or facility for amassing and then disregarding huge sums of debt,) a book explaining how God is a mushroom---but I just never find the time. Even when I get high I keep going---there's always too much to do.
    If you're like me and you appreciate a heavy, delicious indica at a good price, this is the break you've been waiting for. I know it says Tuesday, but the weekend's here, brothers & sisters. On opening the bag, nothing special; that usual new-sneaker-box smell I've come to expect from Farmer's Friend. The most recent stuff of theirs' I tried was the Truffle Monkey a couple weeks ago, which was pretty good but I wasn't expecting to get exceptionally high, and frankly nothing has grabbed my tastebuds lately either, but the Northern Lights actually has some flavor to it, that sweet, lush dessert-like quality (high myrcene and limonene) that I miss in a good indica---and while I'm sure Wellman Farms' headstash of this strain is even danker, this budget trim hits really hard, in that heavenly relaxing fashion you'd expect from $40 kush, but on a Tuesday you could walk out of Blue River Terps with a quarter of this for fifty bucks. I chose to also grab an eighth of Jelly Pinwheel, which I shall review shortly.
    Or tomorrow. I may not need to smoke again for a while. 

: )

    [Editor's note: this still holds true an hour later, as I type it up from the notebook. Very relaxed, without basic activities being completely compromised. Going to take a bath. No, he doesn't pay me much for typing this up---but then I'm just a voice in his head. Or I was until the NL#5. And now---silence.]

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: ...
