Bullrider
9/13/2018
Was able to get my hands on this strain through my local dispensary and boy was I glad I requested it. I have to say, of all the flower I have ever smoked, Afghani Bullrider’s high crept up the slowest and hit one of the hardest. Out of the container, the smell was in-your-face wet earth with a lemon/pepper zest, and an overwhelming but certainly well called for pine aroma. Cracking open one of the buds revealed a citrus flavor that made my eyes twitch. I smoked one moderate bowl from an average glass pipe. Typically, I would be high almost right away. I noticed after completion that I was severely buzzed but not yet “stoned”. I sat down at my computer desk and after about 10 minutes, the high began to set in like a champ. 15 to 20 minutes later, I was (as I like to call it) blasted. Not in a “time to sit on the couch and do nothing” type of indica high though. I smoked this at around 5pm, just before dinner. At 5:30pm, I felt like I was having an introspective moment; where I wanted to look things up on the internet that had to do with space, or science, or global geometry - anything that would get my mind going. I felt like I wanted to learn about something. Maybe how something works? I was ready to watch travel and nature shows on television, and be taken somewhere. At the same time I felt happy, and like I was ready for conversation. By 6pm, I had a hunger bug from nowhere, and made a chicken alfredo from a new recipe I looked up online. I felt like I was a chef, and I was trying new things, and ready to taste things that I wasn’t necessarily “used” to tasting (as per my own recipe). The high itself lasted for about 2 hours before I went back in for a couple of bong rips from a “shmedium” sized glass water bong. I was brought right back to where I was before, for another 2 hours. Next session, I plan to take it slow, and allow the creeping high to ease in, and then increase from there. Afghani Bullrider, to me, was a delight and I hope to be able to not burn through it all too fast. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to relax and feel introspective or creative. Possibly a good flower for a social anxiety problem. Not a good choice for the occasional smoker, as the creeping high may lead to onset paranoia. The seasoned smoker beware; but do enjoy! Happy smoking!
