Green Hill - Green Zombie

High Everybody!

Today's review is of a fine establishment called Green Hill, which happens to be in the Eastern Washington Cannabis Market. Green Hill has a large selection of flowers ranging in price from $8-$12 per gram and also carries many infused products such as topical lotions and creams. As of now they do not have much of an online presence, which I hope will change in the future to give patients a better idea of the needs they can serve. The complete list of the flowers at the Market is available here and are not broken down by vendor but the vendor for each flower is listed after the strain, just ask Hermit when you walk in and he should point you in the right direction. The Market is located on the corner of 3rd and Perry across from Office Depot.

For today's samples I explained to Terri Hill, the proprietor, my anxiety and stomach issues and asked for a recommendation on a good hybrid that was more on the indica dominate side that would help with both my stomach discomfort and my anxiety. Terri's recommendation was the Green Zombie, a nice 70/30 indica strain known for a heavy lackadaisical affect on the user and would help with both sleep and appetite.

 I was not familiar with Green Zombie and even now not entirely sure of its origins. I have found lots of information on Zombie OG and White Zombie as well as others of the Zombie name but not much on this sample. What I was able to learn about the genetic traits of this strain is the affects are heavy and lethargic and have been a favorite among those suffering from muscle spasms and acute pain. This strain is best used at nighttime, when you’re not expecting or maybe able to do much of anything. Some users choose it to induce appetites and calm queasy stomachs as well, again this is really good for me!


My notes:
Looks: The sample I received was amazing with a very rich green and covered in crystals.   

Odor: Piney and sweet. The smell is very strong and musty almost funky.

First Hit: The sweet flavor is really intense and is very deep almost like the odor. There is also a rich taste and slight earthy
.

The High: Is very cerebral and has a very heavy body high. I can see how anxiety sufferers might steer away from this as it may cause paranoia. If taken just before bed it may be a knock out for a good night sleep though, but I would recommend caution as with some very potent strains this may induce anxiety. For chronic pain sufferers though, I think that the over all comatose Green Zombie may cause should be ideal. I would really like to hear from Fibromyalgia sufferers regarding if this  particular strain helps or causes more pain.

The Stoniness: This strain is very heavy and intense.

Body & Mind High: These are both equally intense and heavy. You might plan to put on a movie but most likely will fall asleep in the first few scenes. Light users might try a few small doses at a time to judge the effects.

Anxiety Reduction: I tend to be up fairly early and a very small hit of this strain has a long lasting result and while this is good for regular use it is easy to over do it and possible cause a greater sense of paranoia. So small doses of the Green Zombie for the day's general duties is more than enough. I would recommend a lighter strain for anxiety relief specifically if that is what you are treating. A strain like Blue Cheese or a Kush may be more suited.

Pain Reliever: Now here is where the Green Zombie really shines. The intensely heavy mind and body high makes this a top choice for acute pain and migraine sufferers. Again I must cation my Fibromyalgia readers because in my experience indica strains tend not to be a good choice, but as always I would love to hear your experiences.

Final Note: Terri is very knowledgeable and has a wide variety of creams and other infused products that are worth looking into. I would recommend the Green Zombie for deep muscle pain and joint pain but if you have used topical creams before and have had good or bad results please let me know, together we can spread the word!

Happy Medicating!
