High Everybody!
I recently picked up some absolutely choice nugs from The Herbal Connection on Monroe. This is a great shop with good accessibility and parking. It is on the East side of Monroe at the top of the hill so watch the assholes coming up if you're turning left.
The shop is fairly large and very comfortable, it is also wheelchair friendly and easy to get around in. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about the products they carry as well as recommendation of products for various needs. Herbal Connection offers a wide variety of flowers, medibles, oils, and many other products. They had flowers in all types and intensities. I tend to enjoy sativas and hybrids a little more, but hey I am not one to shy away from a good time.
After looking over all that was laying in-front of me, I chose to get 1 gram of the Permafrost and 1 gram of Blue Dream.
Permafrost -
Permafrost is a Sativa dominate hybrid and has some disputed origins. Some say it's a Train-wreck & White Widow cross, but I have found different reports in my travels and I leave it to, "I just don’t really give a shit! Me likey".
This hybrid is most often reportedly used to alleviate overwhelming stress, anxiety, nervousness, fatigue and tension typically brought on by depression-related disorders. Some users choose it to induce appetites and calm queasy stomachs as well, this is really good for me!
My notes:
Odor: Very Piney smell and is pungent almost heavy but not pukie, you know what i mean.
Looks: Extremely dark rich green, with lovely purple. This sample was covered in crystals of sweet sweet love.
First hit: Smooth with no chemical taste or crackle of any sort. This strain has a nice bite and takes a steady hold fairly fast, this is no creeper.
The High: While this strain is not like WHAM-I GOT YOU! It does give you a very steady mind and body high and is mild/heavy (I suppose a lot of this will depend on your tolerance). A few hits and you should be good.
Blue Dream -
Blue Dream is a Sativa dominant hybrid perfect for morning use and is often used by people suffering from mood, stress, and anxiety disorders. Because of the long lasting effects it is highly used for pain relief. A combination of Blueberry and Haze, this strain has both an energetic uplifting mind buzz and a strong body high.
Blue Dream is always a winner in my book, and this sample was no different. It also seems to be a long lasting choice in our community as it has been on the black market for some time now.
My Notes:
Odor: A sweet smell, definitely puke like. This really has that fake pine or engineered pine smell and also has an earthy note underneath that hint of vomit.
Look: Bright green with lighter hairs and a great crystal structure. This bud was really well trimmed and looks just like it should.
First Hit: Light and smooth, like using ice in your bong. The sweet pine taste comes through on the exhale and is very dry.
The High: Easy and mellow, this strain did not grab me right away but set in nice and steady. It’s a light and peaceful state of being. This really is the kind of smoke that will make you sit and think about lots of great ideas which will be forgotten while watching Felix the Cat movies. For sure you need to prepare for dry mouth and seriously dry eyes.
Final Note:
Overall I recommend The Herbal Connection and the staff. I am a big fan of the Permafrost but, oh how I do love me some Blue Dream.
