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.
  

Happy Medicating!
