This strain is all over the place for me when it comes to aroma. Expecting cherry with diesel, I was stumped by the smell one I opened the pouch from my dispensary. A very unique scent for sure, it finally struck me that I was reminded of old plastic toys from my childhood in the 70s! Not the first thing one thinks of when smelling weed! That impression continued on but as I continued to smell the weed sweet, fruity notes came through as did the impression of diesel fuel. Never enough to say “cherry” or “diesel” in my mind though. On to the smoke, and again, nothing was as I expected. The taste was more open, bubbly and smooth. No harshness or bite, but no obvious or overwhelming flavors either. Just a nice middle of the road weed. The aroma of the smoke was different again. Pleasant and light. Some sweetness did come through here too, but still nothing that would make you say cherry or diesel. The effect was a different matter. It didn't hit all at once, but was a nice comfortable, calm, relaxing high that came on slowly and built up until you realize you're high and think, "This is nice". This strain is one for those evenings after work when you just want to melt into the couch a bit. My own days of smoking enough to become immobile are long gone, so I tend so only have a few hits at a time from a smallish bowl. Even then, the couch lock effect was still present. Someone who tokes larger quantities will surely succumb to that, so if that is what you are looking for, ignore the aroma, and enjoy.

This is for an offspring strain, DoSiDos 55 The flowers smell like the edge a moist forest clearing on a humid day, just before you get into the open, with some sweet notes added in. At times it may also evoke the feeling that you've just enter a florist shop. A small quantity was ground and then went into a brass bowl. Just enough flame applied to produce smoke with a low burn. Initial flavor was that of an old time strain, one very familiar. Kind of hard to pick out any specific notes in the smoke so it doesn't necessarily wow you with flavor. That isn't to say it is bad, but after the lovely aroma of the raw flower, the flavor is a bit of an anticlimax. The hit was smooth and not overpowering. There was no aggravation of the throat or lungs. About 5 minutes after the hit I noticed I had become very quiet and motionless, just thinking. I had stopped working on what I doing and was just enjoying the feeling. My heart rate and breathing were slowed and I was bathed in a nice calm. It was very much like meditation. Aware but not quite engaged. I went back to what I was doing with a lighter head. At times, like when writing this review, thoughts kind of petered out and I couldn't find what to write. Just a small amount of attention once I noticed and the tasks progressed once again. Several minutes later and I could feel a bit more creative and got back into the flow of the work. This is not a blast your head off strain that will make you inert. It is probably a good strain for social times, while you sit back and watch some TV and want to remain engaged in the program you're watching, or when you want something to relax with while working. Be aware that my eyes became very bloodshot. Something to note if you plan on being around others who are less than cool. There are a number of medical uses claimed for this strain. I'm now much older then when I started enjoying cannabis and have a different tolerance for THC than I used to. I'm looking for strains that provide me with the high I'm looking for as well as increase my opportunities to help control my conditions. Dosidos 55 is a good fit with what my needs are now in my late 50s and I'll keep it on my list of strains to enjoy.
