Jack Herer

    
    *****Update March 2025******
    The following quaint little vignette below, waxing rhapsodic on the bouquet of a $40 eighth from Originals, has now been superseded in my soul's memory by the past month I have spent smoking cheap ounces of Jack, same brand but small buds, lesser THC% and not as fresh on the terpinolene but a pleasant little high to ween myself off and start to focus again as Spring is now upon us and I'm nearing the end of my third ounce, getting myself weaned to the point I'm ready to stop...read about my struggle trying to take a break here.
    Anyway it's still lovely to smell every morning, and makes my days happy, productive and blessed; rather than falling asleep on the couch at 8:00 PM surrounded by candy wrappers...photos added below the main article: enjoy.
    ****************************

    I picked up some Jack Herer by Originals the other day [this was now a week or two ago] for $40 + tax; which is more than I care to spend usually but I needed some really good herb for a change, a classic sativa I've never gotten a chance to try.
    Terpinolene is a very curious terpene in the cannabis plant. When I first started buying legal weed two years ago, some of the fragrances were perplexing to find coming from what looked like marijuana, but smelled and tasted so very different from anything I had ever smoked. I couldn't always tell if I was getting high.
    Then there are strains like Jack Herer where the terpinolene smells like candy made from some extraterrestrial plant, yet the bud hits hard and heavy with a positive energy that will radiate through your whole day. Just a small bowl will have you feeling nice. I would recommend getting a slightly less potent indica for smoking later on in the evening after enjoying the Jack Herer in the daytime. Taking those luxuries can be expensive, and requires forethought; but it's worth it as in this case the herb will actually last longer, and the indica needn't be so pricey. I would suggest Chocolate OG by Wellman Farms.

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)

Image
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: ...
