Medical Marijuana: Grand Daddy Purple

I know you’ve all been waiting for tFS Reviews to come back, and we’re happy to drop our first of 2008, so let’s jump straight into the fire.
One thing I’m sure you’ll notice is our new tFS Summary Card. It was designed with giving you an ‘At A Glance’ view of everything important about a strain. Also, you can minimize the summary card by clicking on the link in the top-right corner.
Ok, back to the star of the show…
This strain is called GDP and instantly reminds me of a personal favorite - Trainwreck. The bud is a light shade of green. It’s got more hairs than the average Sativa and is dusted with trichromes. You can tell this strain was cured correctly, GDP is crisp and the nug itself is nice and dense.
What’s interesting, is we found some purple leaves once the bud was broken open. Something I definitely didn’t expect, and makes me wonder about the heritage of this plant. Still, when ripped open, this bud looks killer.
If you’ve ever smoked Trainwreck, then you know its smell, totally unmistakable. GDP is very similar; it’s a light, sweet, citrus-y smell that makes your mouth water.
When smoked, GDP is smooth but doesn’t pack too much flavor. It can easily be overpowered by flavored papers or blunt wraps. The high starts in your shoulders and quickly moves up to the head, within 10 minutes of smoking. As time goes on, it radiates back down your body all the way to the lower extremities. Maybe that’s the purple heritage breaking through?
The high is outstanding - lasts long and doesn’t make you feel groggy. You won’t be doing any scientific experiments or anything, but it’s easy to function while this bud makes its presence known. Ping pong was a good call after our research was done.
Overall, considering the price, I was pleasantly surprised with GDP and am thinking about picking up some more next time I’m down in the valley.
Medical Marijuana: White Widow
March 23rd, 2007 by Alex
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 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: 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 |
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
March 9th, 2007 by Ryan
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 |
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: Misty Haze
February 27th, 2007 by Ryan
Misty Haze is a sativa strain that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg yet provides a nice, quick high. A great break from the low range buds ranging to the super intense buds.
| theFreshScent Product Recap | |
|---|---|
| Strain | Misty Haze |
| Type | Sativa Dominant |
| Pros | Very underestimated |
| Cons | Short lasting high |
| Price | $20/g, $60/8th |
| tFS Rating | 7.0/10 |
The high hits your face & head area hard and very quickly, lasting for about 30 to 40 minutes. After that, it mellows out to almost nothing within the next 20 minutes - some might call it a rollercoaster ride. Overall, this haze variant doesn’t have the longest lasting high but make sure not to underestimate it.
When you take everything into consideration, this strain is a very decent bud for the level of highness and the price tag attached to it. You probably won’t come across this variety too often, but if you do, make sure not to look away too quickly.
Medical Marijuana: Hawaiian Sativa
February 22nd, 2007 by Ryan
Hawaiian Sativa is something that looks like it just unloaded off a plane from Hawaii. A nice, plump piece of the big island!
| theFreshScent Product Recap | |
|---|---|
| Strain | Hawaiian Sativa |
| Type | Sativa dominant |
| Pros | Peaceful high |
| Cons | High could be stronger |
| Price | $20/g, $60/8th |
| tFS Rating | 7.5/10 |
The high isn’t as long lasting as you would hope for, but it does give you a great peaceful feeling for about an hour. Sure does help after a long day of work. Overall, it doesn’t pack the biggest punch but it does what is needed for a nice, relaxing evening.
This is one of those random strains you come across once in awhile, not living in the Hawaiian islands, this is relatively an inexpensive buy. A good looking, great tasting, and nice smelling bud that could use a little more kick.
Medical Marijuana: Strawberry Skunk
February 9th, 2007 by Ryan
I came across a great little gem the other day and it goes by the name of Strawberry Skunk. This sativa provides a nice relaxing body high right from the start.
| theFreshScent Product Recap | |
|---|---|
| Strain | Strawberry Skunk |
| Type | Sativa |
| Pros | Great body high |
| Cons | Short lasting |
| Price | $25/g, $70/8th |
| tFS Rating | 7.0/10 |
This bud hits the body including arms, hands, legs, and feet perfectly. It is an intense high for about an hour, then easing into a nice feeling of relaxation. This plant is quality, but it could definitely last longer.
Strawberry is a true gem to come across and helps make the night a relaxing one. I am usually not a big fan of sativa’s, however, this bud is helping change that.
