Pink Tape by Harbor House Collective

     I'm not gonna lie --- this is some good shit. I'll skip the bullshit and get to the point --- so I can go out and light up this joint! Let me consult my notes from yesterday...

    I wanted a good sativa for the afternoon and picked up Pink Tape from Harbor House...I had been considering it for a couple weeks but, due to the slightly-lower than I was used to levels of THC, I stupidly slept on this one---even though I've really been feeling HH lately: their Runtz had me coming back for more over the course of a couple weeks; and the Cake Crasher unfortunately sold out after I tried it but it was the best herb in the Wedding Cake family I have tried in a while; maybe since two years ago when I first tried legal herb and Wedding Pie had me staring at the wall...but I digress. 
    
    Opening the bag unleashes the fresh aroma of fruit, flowers and spice; I pour out a nice-sized nug revealing a rainbow of color, light green frosted white with crisp orange hairs and dark purplish patches; not quite as pink as Tropicana but beautiful. Surprisingly, the flavor actually has me thinking more of an indica; in fact, with its strong presence of linalool and caryophyllene and the "frosted" way it looks, smells, tastes, a bit like Wedding Pie. It seems to get its flavor from its parent Cement Slippers, which comes from Animal Cookies and OGKB; it looks more like its hybrid parent Apples & Bananas; but it definitely hits like a perfect sativa --- not overwhelming and dissociative as a strain like Bananaconda might be for someone without a high tolerance, neither an underwhelming high that fails to cut through and deliver that recreational enjoyment you're being taxed so harshly for, what I generally consider the term "energizing" a euphemism for. A true Goldilocks strain. Go try some, before I buy it all.

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: ...
