Blue Cheese

This stuff is superb. I got a zip in Kelowna, BC CA from a friend of a friend; I made half of it into cannabutter, about 3-4g into a coconut oil topical and the rest of it I smoked. I've got a short rundown of my feelings about this strain at the bottom; all of the other stuff is details for people who want to know all the nitty-gritty. I've estimated my special brownies to be at roughly 10mg THC +-1mg and about 0.5-0.75mg CBD going by an algebraic formula that you can find on my blog, if you're interested. I won't be obnoxious and link it, but if you Google "cookingwithmatchsticks" it should be easy to find me. Taking that in mind, I'd say going by effect they're smack in the middle of that range; I have a hefty smoking tolerance (I smoke between 2-3.5g a day) and a low-medium edibles one (the liver processes smoked and eaten cannabis in different ways, meaning separate tolerances). This dose of this strain produced a wonderful, glowy, painkilling effect that had enough heft to feel like it was working but not so much that you were a zombie. Smoked, this stuff is very relaxing. If I had a variety to pick from, I'd choose this stuff in the early evening. It'd be great for stimulating conversation and laughter with friends, or for a nice (relatively) lightweight indica for pain relief. I'd advise something heftier later on, particularly if you take nighttime meds and they wear off close to bedtime, but you could definitely keep smoking this all night and have a great rest and effective pain relief. ***** Bottom line: very nice strain for chronic pain. Also works wonders on low mood and insomnia. Is a little heavy, but not as much as a lot of indicas; this seems to have just enough uplifting sativa genetics in it to not completely destroy your energy. Don't think you'll be cleaning the house on this stuff, but you won't be flattened by it unless you're stupid like me and eat too many brownies. Then make a Bulletproof Coffee. Yeah, 7pm was bedtime for me last night.

Makes INCREDIBLE edibles! Very smooth, relaxing, soothing, painkilling high, either smoked or eaten. I prefer to make edibles out of most indicas as I find that's better on pain, and this one is a doozy. Roughly 0.5g of this stuff in a peanut butter cracker baked at 380 for ~18min knocked me (as well as my nerve pain!) flat on my butt! Highly recommended.

This is one cookie I could munch out on! I got mine from The Grasshopper in Kelowna, BC, Canada. Very mellow, calm, uplifting emotional effects. This feels like a true hybrid; the uplifting and relaxing effects are very well balanced. Works well on pain. Tastes fantastic.

I can see why this is called "the espresso of cannabis"! I got mine from The Grasshopper in Kelowna, BC, Canada. Very powerful uplifting mood effects without bringing too much anxiety into the mix. Very good as a morning smoke. Its painkilling effects are mild, but nothing that mixing in an indica or CBD-dominant strain doesn't fix.

Very nice stuff. Long-lasting cerebral effect. Pleasant, happy, chatty, floaty high. Is quite effective on nerve pain, which is impressive for a sativa. I've had indicas that are better, but this stuff does a bang-up job. I will definitely buy this strain again for a daytime pain relief medication.

Ross' Gold - Kelowna

I really, REALLY like this place. Literally the only thing I can knock it for is that, while very attractive and tasteful, the atmosphere feels more retail than therapeutic. The staff are all extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and bubbly, and I've not had bad service once in my 20+ times visiting them even when the computer system screws up (which is too often). I appreciate how they have their strains clearly marked with the THC and CBD content as well; it helps me make a much more informed decision about which strain to buy for my ailments. I LOVE their Nero strain! 18% CBD! Phenomenal for when you want to be ailment free and still able to function, and great to mix into something else when you need something stronger! All in all, I would highly recommend this place. Everything about it is great aside from my very minor complaint about the decor. The service and product are both top notch to counteract that, though.

I live with nerve pain, anxiety and mild depression. This one does a number on all of them! I got mine from Ross' Gold in Kelowna, BC. The initial impression is great. It presents very nicely; medium green buds with pretty dun orange orange trichromes. The nose is nice, like blue cheese and some kind of fruit. The taste is... Interesting. I really liked it. It's very sour and savoury. Not for everyone, though. The effect is wonderful. The high CBD content really makes this a soothing, relaxing high, but there's enough sativa in it to really make your senses pop. As for medical effects, it does a wonderful job of managing pain. The sativa in it really makes it helpful with lifting mood, but the high CBD content helps round off the edges and make it relaxing. Great stuff, I'm definitely buying it again.

This stuff is in my top three, behind Pennywise and Chocolate Fondue. I got it from Ross' Gold in Kelowna, BC. When smoking the flower, I get a very nice, sweet, earthy and citrusy taste. It's very pleasant. The aroma is also nice while smoking it. The effect is wonderful! It lifts my anxiety and chronic nerve pain away entirely. It makes me feel dreamy, happy, uplifted. The psychoactive effect is short-lived (about an hour, and I don't smoke much so I don't have much of a tolerance) but the pain and anxiety relief from the high CBD content lasts for a good 2.5-3.5 hours for me. This is what I'll smoke a couple hours before heading into work, as it won't cloud my head after about an hour to an hour and a half.

This stuff does wonders on pain. It handles my breakthrough pain like a champ and keeps my baseline lower. It's a very clear-headed high; you don't have to worry about being non-functional on this stuff unless you take too high of a dose. I got a little bit anxious when I smoked too much, so I wouldn't recommend it for someone with anxiety.

I got the CBD variant from Starbuds Kelowna. This stuff works very, very well on pain. It handled my breakthrough pain like a champ, and helped a bit with my sore back too. Head-wise, it's a clear-headed high; you don't have to worry about being clouded on this stuff unless you take a high dose. It did make me a little anxious when I smoked a lot of it in one sitting, but that's easily avoided by smoking less! You don't need a lot with this stuff. The nose is very nice. It smells like lemons and sweet bread with earthy tones. It tastes basically how it smells.
