Cured Cooperative - Chocolate HashBerry & Cenex

High Everybody!       
                              

 A Smoking Good Time!

 The Cured Cooperative is one heck of a fine establishment and is located in North Spokane just South of the Lincoln and Market intersection. They really try to cater to every patient type, stocking medibles, essential oils, flowers, extracts, and many other items. For a list of their current stock click here. They are located on North Market with ample parking which is completely wheelchair friendly. It is service one at a time so be prepared to wait should other patients be with the tenders, but not to worry, they have a massage chair and usually a great video on the TV. This is a cash only dispensary and should be noted they do not have an ATM on site. Cured is open 7 days a week to accommodate those patients whom may have limited travel availability or access. The proprietor is extremely knowledgeable and so is his staff, with a broad range of technical and political knowledge they can answer just about any question. On the day of my visit the inventory was very well stocked and it gave me the option to really just look at each strain and decide based on their recommendations and what i felt suited me perfectly. To help with sleep and stomach pain i chose Cenex and another heavy hitter Chocolate HashBerry. Both of these strains are known for their powerful high and long lasting effects.

Chocolate HashBerry - 

 This strain is reportedly a cross between Chocolate Thai and Hashberry, which have combined to create a very powerful hybrid. Together these strains create a very mellow and staged high, giving the patient the best of both indica and sativa strains. Hashberry was the High Times strain of the year in 2006 supplied by Mandala Seeds. In my research I have found many comments by patients stating that the Chocolate Hashberry strain really helps migraine sufferers and has been recommended for both headaches and depression. It can also be used in the mornings or in the evening and will not knock you out.

My notes:
Look –Very rich colors ranging from bright green and dark oranges to hints of purple.
Odor – Rich and pungent with a chocolate/pepper smell. It also has a note of sweet pine that is kind of buried under the pungent spicy chocolate odor.
First Hit – Smooth and crisp. The taste is a heavier flavor, you can taste the heavy resin with its hints of Hashish.
The High – Because of the cross of indica and sativa you get a first stage mind high followed by the second stage body high.
Stoniness – The effects are long lasting and uplifting.
Body High – Very subtle effects slowly climbing to intense and very relaxing.
Mind High – Uplifting and creatively invigorating.
Anxiety Reduction – In small doses (one hit maybe two small hits) is excellent for morning or evening use.
Pain Reliever (different types of pain?) – The body high is subtle so would be good choice for mild/moderate aches and pains. I have seen several reports that the uplifting mild mind high works very well for migraines.

Cenex - 

I love the Cenex strain and it has been one of my mainstays in Medical Marijuana. Cenex is a Portland Based strain and is cross of Cinderella 99 and Vortex. But you may have heard it is crossed with a Kush and not the Vortex, although I believe it to be Vortex. This is an excellent daytime/anytime sativa (60/40) dominate strain with reports of relief from brain fog brought on by seizures. Cenex is perfect for building a positive mindset and stimulating creative energy.

My notes:


Look –Brilliant green & completely frosted with crystals.
Odor – The smell only Cenex has. It is very sweet and skunky. An intense citrus with light pine odor.
First Hit – Very smooth and sweet tasting.
The High – Energetic and uplifting, will get you up and going. Making this excellent for morning/afternoon use.
Stoniness – Very light and clear. The effects are long lasting and smooth.
Body High – Mellow and even. Can be felt throughout entire body.
Mind High – Uplifting and crisp. A great choice for those artsy fartsy people that enjoy getting back to a forgotten hobby.
Anxiety Reduction – Personally one of my top choices for mild/moderate anxiety and sleep disorders.
Pain Reliever (different types of pain?) – Should provide relief for headaches, muscle and joint pain, stomach cramps and general body aches. 

Final Note:  
The Cured Cooperative is an excellent choice for Medical Marijuana patients located on the North side of Smokane. The store is extremely clean and comfortable with plenty of access for mobility restricted patients. The atmosphere is calm and pleasant and filled with good vibes. Stop in talk to Joe or any of the staff and just tell them Tallie sent you.

Tallie's Special Garden Post - Shhh McShhh & His Ice Cream

High Everybody!

Ice Cream -

This strain has been around for some time and has even won some Highlife Cup Competitions a few years back. In 2008 it came in 2nd place in the “Hydro” category and in 2009 it placed 3rd in the “Bio” category. Ice Cream, a 60/40 Indica dominant strain, is a high yielding and  fast growing plant which flowers at about 55-65 days and is ready by early October for both indoor and outdoor growing. It seems most commonly recommended  for stress and mild pain coming in a close 2nd. 
My notes:
Strain– Ice Cream

Look – Very rich with deep greens contrasting with vivid green and dark orange hairs. This sample is very dense and completely covered in crystals.

Odor – Is intensely Sweet and sour with a slight hint of ripe pine. The sweet smell really overpowers the pine though and comes out just so fresh smelling.

First Hit – The very first taste is sour and slightly sweet. It is very hard to describe because the hit is smooth and the flavor is very sour before you catch the sweet.

The High – Light and uplifting to be sure, a little bit of this Ice Cream will have you easing in to just about any project. Ice Cream has a very mellow high and would certainly be okay for regular daily use.

Stoniness – It’s a little bit of a creeper. While it is a subtle and mellow high it seemed to take a little bit to feel the full effects which took about 10 -15 min though the high was very long lasting. Long lasting for me, a very regular smoker with a fairly high tolerance is about an hour maybe an hour 45 min. I am not saying I smoke a lot but here is a true story for you. My friend comes to visit me from out of town, and while we are smoking a few bowls my friend says, “I bet I smoke more weed than you”! To which I say, “You just might”, secretly I am laughing inside hysterically. To make a long story short, three days later, after I have forgotten all about the comment, my friend who is about to head on home, gives me a hug and says, “I don’t smoke more weed than you”. We both laughed pretty hard about that.

Body High – Very light, I did not feel heavy or weighed down at all. In fact the feeling was the complete opposite.

Mind High – This strain has an uplifting and energetic high which will allow you to focus what needs to get done and be able to do it. The high is more cerebral than body.

Anxiety Reduction – With the uplifting high from this sample I would recommend Ice Cream for moderate to severe anxiety relief. Panic attack sufferers could easily load some Ice Cream extract into a vaporizer pen and have the ability to treat when needed discreetly.

Pain Reliever (different types of pain?) – Mild muscle pain and slight headaches would be helped greatly by this strain. Also I had very good results using this for my stomach cramps. Some mornings these cramps are very intense and still Ice Cream helped out immensely. 

Final Note: With its light and uplifting effects, Ice Cream is a great choice for those that want a focused long lasting effect that does not slow or weigh you down. I would highly recommend this strain for patients who occasionally feel paranoia from heavy strains.
