Medical Marijuana: Hollywood OG

Posted: May 17th, 2007 @ 12:16am (1 year, 3 months ago) by Ryan Filed Under: Indica, Medical Marijuana, Sativa, Strains
Hollywood OG Kush

There is one word that dominates this entire review — crystals! The medical marijuana strain pictured above is called Hollywood OG and has just about as many crystals as any strain I’ve come across yet. What better reason to review it?

theFreshScent Product Recap
Strain Hollywood OG
Type Sativa/Indica Hybrid
Pros Long lasting high
Cons Weak taste and pricey
Price $30/g, $80/8th
tFS Rating 8.0/10

This very high-grade marijuana is currently being stocked at dispensaries around the Southern California area. At first glance, the light coloring of the bud may not be its finest aspect, but the sight of how many crystals covering the leafy greens more than make up for it. Combined with a nice fluffiness, this bud is light and sticky to the touch.

This particular plant is not the strongest OG strain, but hey, can you really go wrong with any Kush? This bud got me medicated very quickly and effectively, starting in the head and slowly moving downwards to the body. Still, the strongest effects are felt in the head region. It left me high for almost 3 hours and provided a smooth come down.

While stizzied up on this bud, I strongly suggest watching a good movie or listening to a great album because once the full high kicks in, it’s tough do anything that requires lots of movement.

My overall impression of this Hollywood OG is that it is one high-end marijuana bud. Though a bit on the steep side, the high it provides more than makes up for any deficiences. Still, I’m not so sure why this particular OG strain is called Hollywood other than I purchased it in Hollywood. Go figure.


 

Medical Marijuana: Super Bubba Kush

Posted: April 30th, 2007 @ 12:22am (1 year, 4 months ago) by Alex Filed Under: Indica, Medical Marijuana, Strains
Super Bubba Kush

The ever-popular Kush strain is highly sought after and also highly available in Southern California. One of the more popular sub-strains of this eye-reddening varietal is Super Bubba Kush.

theFreshScent Product Recap
Strain Super Bubba Kush
Type Indica dominant
Pros Great taste
Cons Hard come-down
Price $30/g, $80/8th
tFS Rating 9.0/10

There’s a reason this herb is called Super Bubba and not just Bubba, this bud has it all - a very sweet smell, amazing taste, many large hairs and great color.

At first glance, the Super Bubba Kush catches your attention with its long hairs and crystal coating. The light green leaves, also doused with crystals, add to the dynamic look of this prize fighter.

Effects from this strain are powerful and heavy. The high starts in the face and spreads rapidly towards the rest of the body. Super Bubba puts in a solid day’s work with well over 2 hours of body-numbing effects. Unfortunately, the come down is harsh and abrupt, leaving you almost brain dead for a few hours afterwards.

Super Bubba Kush is an all around all-star bud, if you can afford it. One thing you get along with the VIP name and effects is the VIP price.

Make sure you clear your calendar accordingly after burning this strain and plan something to do that doesn’t require a lot of movement and/or thought.


 

Medical Marijuana: White Widow

Posted: March 23rd, 2007 @ 9:31am (1 year, 5 months ago) by Alex Filed Under: Indica, Medical Marijuana, Sativa, Strains
White Widow

White Widow is one of the most famous cannabis strains in the modern era. I have only come across this strain twice and both times it has really done the job. This indica and sativa hybrid is a great all around bud that gets you lifted quickly and heavily.

theFreshScent Product Recap
Strain White Widow
Type Indica/Sativa hybrid
Pros Many large crystals
Cons Not more like it
Price $25/g, $70/8th
tFS Rating 9.0/10

The White Widow bud has a great coloring with long hairs covered in many large crystals. This all adds up to one potent strain and, obviously, sets the standard for all other ‘white’ marijuana strains.

The effects from this top-quality herb are extreme. The buzz is powerful and energetic, yet social, leaving you feeling somewhat energized. The taste is divine and very sweet. A must for anyone who thinks they are a true strain connoisseur!

Most people automatically assume that kush’s are the best strains around, but beware of the mighty White Widow. A mid-priced bud that is sure to hit the spot and then some.


 

Medical Marijuana: Mango

Posted: March 20th, 2007 @ 9:55am (1 year, 5 months ago) by Tim Filed Under: Indica, Medical Marijuana, Strains
Mango

Most dispensaries tend to have high-profile buds like a trainwreck or kush variant alongside some very random strains. Today, its the lesser known strain that gets the spotlight and it goes by the simple-yet-descriptive name of Mango.

theFreshScent Product Recap
Strain Mango
Type Indica hybrid
Pros Large, thick buds
Cons Dull coloring
Price $20/g, $60/8th
tFS Rating 7.5/10

This fruit-flavored bud is a great indica strain that has everything you look for in good quality medical marijuana. It emits a sweet, citrus smell that becomes extremely intense once the dense buds are broken up. Combined with a fruit flavored blunt wrap, this herb is just the trick for an after dinner dessert.

As expected, the taste follows the constant theme of this mango bud. It’s extremely fruity and the smoke any hint of harshness or a nasty afterbite. The high hits the body quickly remaining for around 2 hours. On the positive side, the effects aren’t overpowering to the point where you can’t function after smoking.

This hybrid of indica’s is a great experience with its big rich colorful buds and is sure to make and keep you satisfied. Dispensaries always seem to have random strains, however, this one is a diamond in the rough.


 

Medical Marijuana: Werewolf

Posted: March 16th, 2007 @ 3:57am (1 year, 5 months ago) by Ryan Filed Under: Medical Marijuana, Sativa, Strains
Werewolf

I’m not quite sure why they call this strain Werewolf, nevertheless I find it an all-around good bud. The sativa gives you a light high without a harsh come-down afterwards.

theFreshScent Product Recap
Strain Werewolf
Type Sativa dominant
Pros Unique smell
Cons Slightly brittle
Price $20/g, $60/8th
tFS Rating 6.5/10

This is a random bud I seldom cross here and there, but with this I was not disappointed. At first glance, you will notice its long, orange hairs peppered in with glistening crystals dusted on forest-green leaves. The scent of this strain is sweet and has a skunky citrus undertone that compliment each other well.

The high starts fairly quickly but never becomes overpowering as it dissipates from your body with pleasant effects. Great for a late afternoon session. The medication lasts just under two hours but is effective.

Tucked away and hidden in the rough, one-off strains can be a nice surprise and this is a great example. A sativa that is a quality bud for the price… yet I am still trying to figure out why it’s called Werewolf.


 

Medical Marijuana: Outdoor Trainwreck

Posted: March 9th, 2007 @ 1:19pm (1 year, 6 months ago) by Ryan Filed Under: Medical Marijuana, Sativa, Strains
Outdoor Trainwreck

Most people I talk to always comment on trainwreck being one of their favorite strains. After trying this Outdoor Trainwreck, I can definitely agree with them! This strain really does make you feel like a train hit you.

theFreshScent Product Recap
Strain Outdoor Trainwreck
Type Sativa dominant
Pros Powerful high
Cons Mostly heady
Price $25/g, $70/8th
tFS Rating 8.0/10

This strong sativa really is a punch to the face with a head-concentrated high. On top of this, it doesn’t leave the body heavy and slow. At first glance this bud doesn’t look like a rock star, but you will notice nice, long hairs that are covered in crystals. The sweet skunky smell also stuns the nose. And the light green colored leaves just makes it a great bud to gaze.

The high hits quickly in the face & head area and stays there for about two hours. I would also recommend some eye drops for this high, might experience some dryness or itchiness. The effects are pretty straight forward - smacks you in the face and stays there. The body isn’t really affected except for sporadic spots on the feet.

It took me a while to become a fan of trainwreck, but this strain has changed my opinion entirely. This mid-range bud sure does the trick when in search of a well-rounded sativa, it has exceeded expectations.


 

Medical Marijuana: Hash Plant

Posted: March 7th, 2007 @ 2:13am (1 year, 6 months ago) by Tim Filed Under: Indica, Medical Marijuana, Strains
Hash Plant

Looking for a no non-sense herb without the frills? Hash Plant is one of those indeed, lacking just about everything besides the stone.

theFreshScent Product Recap
Strain Hash Plant
Type Indica dominant
Pros Good body high
Cons Over-priced, bad taste
Price $20/g, $65/8th
tFS Rating 6.0/10

It’s difficult to pin-point a definitive smell to this bud. If it came down to it, I’d have to say it smells like a watered-down dollop of Heinz 57. Isn’t pleasant at all which makes me question why I bought this strain in the first place. Also, the looks aren’t very flattering, compact buds with zero crystals.

The earthy flavor of the smoke left something to be desired, a taste similar to chlorophyll (a likely symptom of improper curing.) A good aspect about Hash Plant is its very resinous nature, so you know the end result will be just fine. The high is very nice. It starts in the chest area and gradually works its way up north. The stone lasts for around two to three hours.

If you don’t like all that glitz and glamor with rock star buds like kush, then Hash Plant might be right for you. Although it’s over-priced, doesn’t taste very good, and is kind of malodorous; it tries to compensate in the effects department and does so admirably. Honestly, if you spend an extra five bucks, you can get a bud that excels in all departments. Spend the extra five bucks.


 

Medical Marijuana: Master Kush

Posted: March 5th, 2007 @ 12:33am (1 year, 6 months ago) by Alex Filed Under: Indica, Medical Marijuana, Strains
Master Kush

Well, this is a definite first for tFS. The rating and name speaks for itself. Master Kush, an indica strain, is the best medical marijuana money can buy.

theFreshScent Product Recap
Strain Master Kush
Type Indica dominant
Pros Strongest high
Cons Expensive
Price $30/g, $80/8th
tFS Rating 10.0/10

This dense bud is extra sticky and almost appears polar white due to its super crystallized leaves. When you break the nugs apart, a distinct, sweet smell fills the air. This strain really is everything you look for in medical marijuana.

In addition, the smoke has a sweet zip to it and doesn’t leave a bad aftertaste in the mouth. The high hits hard & quickly from the beginning, mostly starting in the head and moving its way throughout in a matter of minutes.

There aren’t many significant negatives that stand out other than the fact that it can be too intense at times. Yes, too intense. And this 10 out of 10 kush strain is not cheap by any means, but hey if you can afford it, saddle up cowboy! You will not be disappointed.


 

Medical Marijuana: True OG Kush

Posted: March 1st, 2007 @ 3:25am (1 year, 6 months ago) by Ryan Filed Under: Indica, Medical Marijuana, Strains
True OG Kush

True OG Kush is one of the “ultimate” kush strains found in sunny Southern California. Very few other strains seem to compare to True OG’s unique scent, taste, and mental & physical effects.

theFreshScent Product Recap
Strain True OG Kush
Type Indica dominant
Pros Intense high
Cons Long recovery
Price $30/g, $80/8th
tFS Rating 9.5/10

True OG’s light, almost neon green leaves are simply great to gaze at, with a copious amount of crystals covering every inch. The buds are dense but break apart with ease, leaving your fingers sticky and aromatic for a while afterwards.

When smoked, the first shock wave hits hard. It doesn’t take long to realize that you’re already feeling its effects from just one or two hits. This bud is for real. A few hits of this True OG and the effects are long-lasting and intense, but beware that the recovery period from this is heavy. This bud is more of a late night adventure than a midday smoke break.

This strain is no joke, seriously. If you want the cream of the crop in the kush realm, here it is. Come to think of it, True OG should come with a warning label about inducing an extreme level of munchie impulses.


 

Chef Boyarweed: Dank Brownies

Posted: February 28th, 2007 @ 5:06am (1 year, 6 months ago) by Alex Filed Under: Edibles, Medical Marijuana
Chef Boyarweed: Dank Brownies

While checking out the edibles at my local dispensary, I decided to pick up Chef Boyarweed’s Dank Brownie and it made my night turn out especially relaxing.

theFreshScent Product Recap
Category Medicinal Edible
Company Chef Boyarweed
Pros Long lasting
Cons Taste
Price $10.00
tFS Rating 8.0/10

This brownie doesn’t stray far from its dank name. It packs a powerful punch that starts to take effect fairly quickly (for an edible) and lasts for several hours. Again, this ranges from person to person, based on his or her size/weight and the amount of food in the stomach at the time of digestion. In my personal case, it lasted for almost four hours.

The smell doesn’t signal any potency within. Unfortunately, when eating this little delectable, it doesn’t provide the best chocolate flavor… largely due to the sizable amounts of marijuana mixed in (which you will definitely notice). Just wash it down with a glass of milk and you’ll be good to go.

One thing I wish was on the packaging was the amount of bud used in the recipe and also the strain type. Still, it is well worth the $10 price tag. Overall, a great edible that doesn’t break your wallet and leave you asking, “That’s it?”

If it works for you as it did for me, you’ll be looking to increase your brownie budget.
