Royal Highness

11/18/2018
Oh my God, I love this strain. I struggle with anxiety (and associated muscle tension), depression, and anger management. This strain is a godsend for relaxing, clear-thinking daytime uplift that helps defuse me and relaxes my muscle tension. It gives me that slightly stoney feeling that everything is going to be ok while letting me get thoughtful work done. That and I just love the skunky terpene profile and how pretty it is for a high-cbd strain. Nice flower from Clear Creek Cannabis at Five Zero Trees. Oh, I vaporize at 200 degrees celsius, about a loosely packed 1/16 tsp every couple hours during the daytime to get functional effects. For more intense effects it's awesome at 200 degrees or a higher temp with a well packed 1/8 tsp of Royal Highness and well packed 1/8 tsp of a more THC intense strain like Chocolate Kush, Blue Zkittles, or Mandarin Cookies for a long-lasting full bodied blissed out couple hours.

Great shop! It's my favorite for cost-quality. Some budtenders are better than others. Their leafly menu is often outdated. Went in yesterday for some some Blue Dream from Clear Creek Cannabis. They were out of stock yesterday, and it's still listed on the menu today. Still, amazing flower and is still totally worth the trip from Portland.

This strain is my new favorite. Great body high balanced with gentle cerebral stimulation that is simultaneously joyful and uplifting while melting stress, anxiety, and ptsd-related anger away. I mix this with a high CBD strain like critical mass. The result is gorgeous. Great for depression, anxiety, insomnia and ptsd. The joyful, uplifting effects linger for hours. Got this it Five Zero Trees--the birthplace of this lovely strain. For side effects, I barely get the munchies from this. A little red eye, but nothing too extreme that a little Visine won't take care of.

This is my number one daytime strain for fatigue, anxiety, and depression. I got this at The Kings of Canna with 16.3% CBD and 4.3% THC. Just one or two hits in the morning and the same again at lunch and I'm nicely productive during the day. No munchies, no paranoia, just clear, better energy and focus. Otherwise I'm exhausted all day. Gotta love that limonene sativa high CBD low THC mix.

Still my hands down favorite shop in Portland. Great atmosphere, best quality flower in Portland, great budtenders. Just got a gram of Elmer's Glue (looks like it's a combination unique to Calyxes) to combine with a gram of Cannatonic and it's about the best combination for stress, anxiety, and the related muscle tension I've had yet. Even though the Elmer's Glue comes in with a lower THC level then most strains these days (about 14%) the combination provided full body relaxation and a nice mellow high. Only shocker is that the prices on their menu in the shop incorporate the 25% state tax while their menu on Leafly does not. But they've always given me a receipt that's extremely detailed in the price breakdown with loads of information about the strains purchased as well. Also, gotta love their glass jar recycling program. They give you a 5% discount for bringing in your own glass jar to use as a container. And if you don't have one, they use tiny ball jars for containers which are the nicest containers in all of PDX. Just a great shop with awesome flower, fair prices for the amazing quality, and great staff. Highest recommendation.

The flower at this shop is top shelf all the way, but be careful of the staff. The guy who helped me said he had a nice buzz going and then overcharged me. I bought two eighths (one listed on Leafly for $40 and the other for $45), so the total with tax should have been $106.25 but I was charged $118. I should have been quicker on my feet and asked for a receipt to check everything (he also didn't give me a receipt) but didn't realize I was overcharged until I was already driving home. I have no idea if they guy meant to overcharge me or if he was just a little stoned and made a mistake. Either way, make sure you're charged correctly here.

Critical Mass

When there's a 1:1 ratio of THC to CBD, this is hands down my favorite strain. I usually only buy if it's about 14%-15% of each. There's an amazing full body high without locking me to my couch. It's also really good for muscle tension and inflammation, insomnia and anxiety. I just wish I could find it some place in Portland where it's grown without pesticides.

I had my first experience buying recreational marijuana in Oregon here and it was great! I don't know the name of the budtender I had but he was really knowledgeable about every strain he showed me. I've only purchased at a couple other recreational dispensaries in Vancouver and this was a far superior experience--more knowledgeable budtenders, nicer atmosphere, and the chance to check out the bud in each jar before purchase. He was able to recommend different strains with confidence that help with sleep, are good for winding down at the end of the day, or are good for a more active day. All have worked as described. Also, I love how most of their strains are grown without pesticides. Given the Oregonian's recent article about the sometimes crazy-high levels of toxic pesticide residues often found in dispensary weed, their awesome variety of organic product is super important to me as a consumer. I'll be coming back again.
