Awesome. Picks you up and makes you talkative.

This is the new, NoVa dispensary for MMJ patients. It has/had a limited selection, but is growing larger. Due to state limitations, vape/carts/edibles/tinctures/topicals are all that are available. The atmosphere is so-so. They clearly want to get you in and out quickly. Possibly a good thing if you are looking for expediency, not so good if you want to ask questions or find out more about their products. Service is likewise... expedient and unfriendly. The biggest issue is with the products. These are generic products with names intended to just give the user an effect with zero to no applicability to the strain type or it's origins. Examples are: "calm" or "chill." Not sure if the company is expecting completely novice users, but just because the State of Va is just waking up to MMJ it's really no reason to treat patients as ignorant. With no idea what strains were working with, the quality and effects are questionable. There are very few users who will be willing to 'experiment' all over again with the given strains to find out the potency and specific effects they desire. Most of us have spent thousands of $$ doing that well before VA declared marijuana legal. We all understand that they must abide by the State laws (which are broadening as we speak), but they will no doubt be losing a tremendous amount of business to neighboring DC which has announced reciprocity to VA patients. Sorry, but this place is not the answer... yet. All that said, I'll try to remain loyal to VA, if the dispensaries can give us labeling and package information that allows us to find the families and strains we are used to.

So I just toked a 3-hit bowl of this strain, and I'm flyin' solo, so this is all just one man's opinion: take it or leave it. My first time trying this strain while on a 5-month journey to find a better, more practical and focusing strain for writing: yes, I'm the next Hemingway... (kidding-of course). My go-to delivery service just got it in stock. About one-hour and a half in the saddle, I'll cut to the chase: 4.5 Stars and generally lives up to its reputation. A little more detail: Onset was about a 2-3 minute delay, then a slightly uncontrolled rush of energy and focus which persisted long enough to be typing this, followed 6-minutes later by a heavy feeling and a moderate brain buzz. My alert factor is less than I was hoping for, showing the 40% Indica roots. I can see why others have recommended a smaller pack. Was hoping to get some writing done and at least burst out a few new concepts. Stress has fallen about 66% (I'm less worried about the Landlord's 'no-smoking' policy and more interested in what's for lunch). I will say my thoughts are more scattered than I was hoping for, but I am having some new and creative inspirations for my writing. Would I buy it again? Probably, and I'll use up the rest of what I have to see what else it teaches me. What I'd recommend it for: Painting/Artwork, housework/fixing things, some writing, relaxing with an intellectual or thought-provoking movie. What I wouldn't recommend it for: Any kind of college-work. Doubt you'll have the focus to get anything over 2 pages completed; reading longer or involved books; or larger social scenes. Save "Candyland," for those.
