Silver Mountain

10/17/2022
Wow just wow. I am a true sativa connoisseur originally from Europe where in the cannabis hotspots like Amsterdam and Spain they are all about the hazes. The true connoisseur strains. Unfortunately because of people not thinking for themselves and just wanting to smoke whatever indica dominant cookies type strains their favorite “rappers” are mumbling about and these greedy cultivators obviously loving that mindset since it’s so much more lucrative for them to focus on those fast flowering indica dominants the medical legal market here has sucked for true sativa lovers. The thing is most of these smokers have never really had a true proper pure sativa like a Neville’s haze or true tropical landrace sativas especially the psychedelic racy African ones they have no idea. For my brain damage these hazes are by far the best for my needs and I just love their effects absolutely perfect for making me more driven more ambitious more serious about life but also way more social and friendly and best of all so much more fun because they are similar to actual psychedelics like LSD. I’m in Maryland but also have access to the dispensaries in DC and it is so incredibly rare to come across “true sativas” so many of the “sativa” options aren’t even real sativas in my opinion many of them being heavily myrcene dominant. However rhythm which is the best cultivator in Maryland in terms of how well they cure and process their flower truly top shelf flower. Recently they put out golden goat which was fantastic and yesterday by chance I came across this recklessly epic strain by accident. Since we test for terpenes here in Maryland instead of asking for whatever is highest in THC I always ask what is testing highest in terpenes and by chance it was this silver mountain they didn’t know the lineage at the dispensary (rise Bethesda) but when I saw the word silver in the name and saw it was terpinolene dominant I knew instantly this had to be a super silver haze cross. Super silver haze is by far one of my favorite strains of all time ever there’s a reason it’s won so many cannabis cups. However besides ghost train haze you NEVER see any true haze based strains. I went back today to buy more and stock up. This is by far as of now my favorite daytime strain that is available from any cultivator in Maryland. And the mother they chose is on point this batch had 26% THC which is plenty for me even if it was 18% I’d still be happy because it is testing at right under 4% total terps which is epic. With terpinolene at 1.04 % and Ocimene at 0.92 but unfortunately pinene is not the next most dominant like it says here I wish it was though because then it would have been even more energetic and uplifting than it already is the next most dominant terp is myrcene at .47 and Limonene at .29 This is now automatically one of the best true sativas I have ever encountered. I always talk about how sad it is that no one has ever offered any true hazes besides the ghost train but now that has changed I pray to god rhythm keeps this strain available. Even if your not a sativa smoker you still need to try this because I genuinely believe these genuine haze crosses are some of the best genetics on planet earth and especially because of how unique, exotic and incredibly rare it is to find such strains. If you want to be productive, responsible, motivated, driven, ambitious, creative, focused, stimulated and to just feel recklessly happy and euphoric for us Maryland and DC Patients it doesn’t get any better than this. Especially the fact it’s testing at 4% terps shows how incredible these genetics are. Appalachia was just such a wonderful Strain to cross the SSH with. This is the closest thing to SSH we can get and I am incredibly grateful rhythm tackled this challenge and absolutely bombed it. One of the absolute best sativas ever offered hands down. You have to be a fool to not try this terpene loaded psychedelic wonder strain. However if you don’t like it there’s a great chance that either A.) You didn’t even have the real silver mountain even if your dispensary called it that, often strain names are not accurate at all with the genetics their supposed to represent. OR B.) that you just got a poorly grown batch or poorly dried cured and processed or that it was an old batch that’s lost it’s terpenes and freshness. This aren’t really just “strain reviews” these are more so reviews of the job the grower or cultivator you purchased from did in growing this. Every batch can be different as well. You could hate it now but try it again months later from the same grower but a different batch and absolutely love it.

L'Orange

9/24/2022
Been one of my favorite new Strains from rhythm in Maryland. There is a MAJOR lack of proper “sativa” strains in the medical markets I have access to which is Maryland and DC The overwhelming majority of cannabis available is all Indica dominant hybrids unfortunately because people are ignorant and just want whatever strain their favorite rapper is rapping about. Of course the cultivators aren’t gonna complain because they’re making much more money this way and life is much easier for them this way. Even this Lorange I still don’t consider this a true sativa but it’s definitely a sativa leaning hybrid. Unfortunately Pennsylvania doesn’t accept medical cards from out of state or I would be going up there to shop because for some reason the legal market in Pennsylvania actually has a major selection of genuine and proper sativa strains they have all kinds of haze varieties which are my favorite. This is why I love traveling to Amsterdam or Spain because they know what’s up they’ve been at this much longer than us and they realize that exotic sativas are true connoisseur grade strains. So back to this Lorange it smells almost identical to all the “California Orange” crosses like Tangie or blood orange. Just by smelling It I would assume it’s terpinolene dominant like Tangie however it has almost no terpinolene. The dominant terpene is Limonene at just over 1% Myrcene is next at 0.42% then both Caryophyllene and Linalool are tied at 0.38% The rest of the terps aren’t worth mentioning their in negligible amounts. It’s regularly testing right around 30% THC on average But I always say who cares about THC as long as there’s at least 18% THC I’m happy as long as it’s loaded with terps. I keep trying to tell people it’s all about The terpenes. This foolish desire to just buy whatever is testing highest in THC is ignorant, foolish and ruining the cannabis industry. If People focused on terps the same way they do about THC we’d have such better quality medicine. I mean think about it when you get some really amazing bud The moment you realize how good it is comes when you first open the jar or bag and if it’s “loud” as they say and has a super strong pungent odor that smacks you in the face then you know you have some good herb. You can’t smell THC though It’s the terpenes your smelling. So when your unfortunate Enough To live in one of the states that doesn’t test for terps you have to go with your nose this Lorange is regularly testing between 2-3% terps which is very nice. Ideally you want over 4% terps that’s the equivalent of having 35% THC. The reason Durban poison or haze or Jack Herer feel like “sativas” meaning being energizing, focusing, stimulating and have that psychedelic introspective trippy head high is because of the terpenes. The reason Afghani or purple kush feel like an “indica” and are sedating, relaxing, and produce intense tingly body highs is again because of the terpenes. So if you have some flower that’s 30% THC but only has 1% or even less total terpenes then you will not experience the unique high that strain is known for. If you want to truly feel what a certain strain actually feels like you need terps. Without terps it will all feel the same it will all just give you the generic THC high and that’s it. Because this is a Limonene driven sativa with a decent amount of Linalool this is a perfect daytime strain that will make you productive but not be as prone to cause anxiety unlike most terpinolene or pinene driven sativas. This strain smells and tastes heavenly. Like I said this is one of my favorite strains they are currently offering because such strains are so rare unfortunately. I would honestly be willing to pay 120$ even for just an 8th of well grown and cured pure haze or Neville’s haze or a pure African landrace like Malawi or Congolese or even a pure Thai sativa. Durban poison doesn’t count because almost all of the Durban poison I have ever encountered from a dispensary is not he true original African landrace they are all watered down versions with some indica genetics bred in. I have had Durban poison from eight different cultivators legally in the United States Over the years from dispensaries in the west coast and here in the east coast and all but one were disappointing and even that one still wasn’t the real deal but still better than the rest. The only time I had proper Durban poison was from a coffee shop in Spain and holy crap that truly did feel like the espresso of cannabis I was cleaning and talking nonstop and I couldn’t stop cleaning my heart was racing and It had some similarities with actual psychedelics like LSD. Pinapple Budder Jack is a phenomenal sativa leaning strain rhythm also has I pray they continue it.

Alien Breath

9/8/2022
Excellent strain cultivated by Verano in Maryland who has dramatically improved the quality of their flower over the past few months. I got an exquisite batch cured to perfection. THCa is testing at 32.31% however that’s not impressive to me by itself what makes this impressive and truly potent is the fact that on top of being high in THC it is testing at close to 4% total terpenes. The fact that many people mainly care about THC numbers is ruining the market for everyone else it is a truly ignorant mindset to have. I keep trying to tell people it’s all about The Terpenes. I care a million times more about terpene levels over THC levels. If you have some bud that’s only 18% THC but over 4% terps I would MUCH rather have that over some bud that’s 35% THC but only 1% total terps which is incredibly common. That’s why in states where they unfortunately don’t have to test for terps you have to go with your nose and get or ask for whatever is the most pungent that stinks the loudest. The nose always knows. This strain is the ultimate Anxiety strain for people with anxiety. It has the second highest level of Linalool I have ever seen in flower in the past 4 years. My batch doesn’t have the terp profile stated here on Leafly. The main dominant terpene is Limonene at just over 1% followed by a whopping .78% of linalool in second place then Myrcene at .67% trans-caryophyllene at 0.28% Beta Pinene at .23% Fenchol at 0.19% Alpha Pinene at .18% A-Terpineol at 0.13% and the rest are too low to mention. Having such a massive amounts of both Limonene and Linalool dominating the profile is what makes this one of the best strains for anxiety I have ever come across. I’m so tired of all the cookies strains their all so similar almost all of them being caryophyllene and Limonene dominant. Wanting to smoke something just because some rapper rapped about it is also dumb it’s what you’d expect a 14 year old to think like. All this push from greedy fat boy Berner and other rappers for indica dominant strains is ruining the industry in my area and you guys are making it easy for these cultivators they are making bank off of your ignorance. There is a reason why if you go to any cannabis hotspots in Europe like the Netherlands or Spain they are all about the Sativas true genuine sativas not the crap they sell as “sativas” here. Most of you probably never had a real proper sativa it really is like a psychedelic like LSD when you have a proper long flowering true sativa. These cookies type strains are all fast flowering and high yielding. If y’all demanded sativas instead of just wanting to smoke what the rappers smoke these cultivators would actually have to start working hard and the cannabis would actually be worth the outrageous prices they charge. The cookies brand Is the biggest ripoff in history just like mike Tyson’s brand but at least Tyson has the decency to put his 8ths into glass jars instead of the cheap plastic packaging cookies uses and they don’t even add a boveda moisture pack either so they are charging 65-70 per 8th from cookies and they have the nerve to use the cheapest packaging and not even add a boveda pack to maintain the terps. I would gladly pay 70 an 8th for a true well grown haze or any sativa that takes longer than 12 weeks to flower. But I’m not gonna help glutinous greedy fat boy Berner get rich off me. He is playing you all like fools he’s become an expert at manipulating the simple minded smokers who don’t know any better. At least this Alien Breath is very unique for an indica dominant strain with an extremely unique terpene profile. If you suffer from anxiety this strain is a no brainer for you. This is a super relaxing strain but it’s not overly sedating either. Remember people start pushing people to be terpene chasers as opposed to THC chasers and you will see the quality of flower start improving this demand and push for high THC is ruining this industry just like the constant demand for indica dominant strains. Demand some proper sativa genetics.

Blood Orange

3/12/2022
One of my favorite strains because it’s offered by one of the best cultivators here. Alternative Solutions of Washington DC. This strain literally smells the same as Tangie. If I had one flower of Tangie and one of blood orange just by smelling I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. It’s got the same main parent as Tangie so they are cousins. And hence it is NOT caryophyllene dominant as is stated here. It is in fact terpinolene dominant just as Tangie is and probably has a ton of Ocimene as well just like Tangie. If you’ve had Tangie and liked it then you will definitely love blood orange. I actually like it a bit more than Tangie but that could just be because I never had Tangie that was grown well to it’s full potential as I said the blood orange here is from what I consider our best cultivator so that makes a huge difference obviously so if the same grower also grew Tangie then I cold really say which I like better. Many strain reviews aren’t really “strain” reviews and what I mean by that is in reality we are reviewing the job said cultivator did at growing and processing said flower not so much of a review on the strain itself. You could try the exact same genetics from two different growers and you could absolutely love one and hate the other even though it’s the same “strain” but one grower did well and one did not so these reviews are more of the grower not the strain necessarily. But I can say if grown well this is an amazing strain especially for those of us who are true sativa lovers. Here in our medical market sadly because of ignorant simple minded “rappers” and their pathetic followers the market is dominated by indica dominant strains primarily we have barely any true sativas here and blood orange is one of the closest things sadly to true sativas and I still wouldn’t consider blood orange a proper sativa in my mind it still has more indica in it than I’d personally prefer. I love all the long flowering hazes and tropical landraces which you will NEVER find In our dispensaries here. Most growers here have myrcene dominant sour diesel as their sativa choice. To me I consider such sour diesel as a daytime indica more so than a sativa ESPECIALLY these myrcene dominant cuts of sour diesel proper sour diesel ought to be caryophyllene dominant with limonene following up behind as second most dominant.

Honey Badger Haze

3/9/2022
HMS health in Maryland cultivated this amazing strain for a few months like 2 years ago or so. I’ll never forget the first batch it was one of the most joyous legal purchases of my life and there have been hundreds and hundreds. It’s because here in Maryland in our medical market there is a major lack of sativa strains 80 percent of everything on the market is heavily indica influenced and only well below 10 percent of the entire flower market is what I would consider a true sativa. Here in Maryland we also get full terpene analysis test results on all batches of everything so I go online on different dispensaries menus every few days to see what’s new and mainly focus on the terpene data. With this strain before I even looked at any test results just the name itself got me insanely exited because you never see “haze” on any menu here the closest thing to haze we have is jack herer we used to have ghost train but even that seemed too much for them to handle they probably got tired of the longer flowering times but back to this strain then once I saw it’s test results I knew we finally had a proper sativa. It was testing ridiculously high In terps well over 4% total terps with the most dominant being terpinolene as you’d expect from a haze based strain it had tons of ocimene a decent amount of myrcene but also above average levels of alpha pinene and limonene which is what you want to see in a proper sativa so it had an excellent proper sativa terpene profile a very rare one it smelled incredibly tropical more so than any other terpinolene dominant strain I’ve smelled kind of how you’d expect Hawaiian sativas to smell but here’s the other thing that made this stand out and that made me recklessly exited when just looking at the test results online before I had even gone to try it for the first time i saw that besides a terpene profile from the gods it had some of the highest levels of THCV I’ve ever seen on any strain before and since and consistently batch after batch all batches regularly had around 2%-2.5% thcv. The first batch was the best one they had it was the stickiest ever my 8th was just two large ridiculously sticky and recklessly pungent colas of tropical goodness. After a few batches they changed phenos to another pheno that no longer had that true “sativa” Terpene profile it became myrcene dominant followed by caryophyllene and limonene with only trace amounts of terpinolene, ocimene or pinene but it still retained the high THCV in this other pheno but the terp profile sucked on it and made completely stop considering it a sativa anymore. It literally blew my mind still to this day to see such a vastly different terpene profile from the same strain. The terpinolene dominant fruity tropical version of this is one of the best strains I ever had from a USA dispensary out of hundreds of different strains I’ve tried.

RISE Dispensaries Bethesda (Med)

11/30/2020
It’s a good dispensary are used to go there in the beginning often however I’ve only been back once in the past two years maybe I would come here more often but unfortunately with the veterans discount being only 10% I’m going to opt to go to the majority of other dispensaries who are all at 22% .

White Gold

Finally gave this a try today and absolutely love it! I’ve been eying this for the past 2 years but every time I saw it I wasn’t very pleased with the lab results for the terpene content usually it was testing pretty low with Terps however the batch I got today is incredibly rare because not only was it finally testing high in Terpenes but this batch is also the highest I’ve seen in THC content usually it’s been around 20% on average sometimes higher sometimes lower dispatch is 35.25% THCA and over 3% terpenes so it’s truly a potent batch. Most of you that live in states where they don’t test for Terpenes don’t realize that THC numbers alone don’t mean a thing. Anytime I see anything over 30% THC very often the catch is that most batches I see over 30% thc actually end up testing pretty Low for terps and if you have something that’s 30% thc and 1% total terpenes it will not feel potent and it will be a boring THC high Only when you also see that it has a high turke only when you also see that it has a high terpene content as well is it truly potent. Also then you really experience the strain for what it is! If it has less than 1% terps it won’t have a unique high it’ll have a very generic high so the terps are what make a haze or durban poison give you that trippy energetic “sativa” high Just like it’s the terps that make an afghani or Hindu Kush give you that couchlocked sedated relaxed “indica” high. So this Oro Blanco aka white gold grown by Natures Heritage in Maryland is Limonene Dominant this batch has 1.14% Limonene then Myrcene is next at .89 Next is Caryophyllene at .35% then Nerolidol at .15% and Linalool at .1% I won’t mention the rest because they’re all below .1%. Since this batch is Limonene dominant it’s an extremely uplifting and functional indica effect. The .89 of myrcene with the touch of Linalool is enough to keep its indica dominance well in check though. So this is a great choice for anyone who needs a indica that won’t put them to sleep so they can still function and have the relief they need. Always keep in mind whenever you read anyone’s review for any strain there’s no way for you to know for sure if what they had is even the same strain youre going to get unless you’re getting it from the same cultivator and second there’s no way for you to know if they had a good or bad batch that can make all the difference. You can get a badly grown or processed batch of something and think to yourself oh my God I hate this strain it happens all the time but then months later you could try a good batch of the same strain and think to yourself oh my god this is my favorite strain ever! If you live in a state Where terpene testing numbers are not provided I suggest instead of looking for the highest thc If you can smell the product yourself then pick whatever smells the strongest and if you cannot smell it yourself ask the people who work there if they’ve been able to smell the product what smelt the strongest out of everything and always go with that choice. It’s all about the Terps people please stop chasing thc it’s hurting the quality for everyone. It’s also worth mentioning this strain has some of the thickest and most serious trichome coverage I’ve seen in a long time specially once you break any of the large chunky round golf ball type nugs open it’s the definition of caked in kief. When grown well this is some amazing flower which I would recommend 100% specially if you can get it from natures heritage because they have their curing process down better than almost everyone else. Every batch I’ve had from them of any of their flower the past 6 months it’s been cured to perfection!

Liberty - Rockville

5/14/2020
Liberty has become my number one Favorite Dispensary out of all! There are several reasons for this! First their location is absolutely beautiful, the way it’s set up I could spend all day there! It’s set up so that even if your waiting you can see all their products out on display. You can see for yourself how every single batch of their flower looks at more than one station not only that but at these stations they also provide the most relevant and important testing data! NO OTHER DISPENSARY I have been to does this especially in regards to terpenes. At liberty you’ll not only see the cannabinoid content but also the total terpene percentage as well as the three most dominant terps AND their exact amounts! Also this right here is one of the most major reasons I go here, THEY LIST ALL TERPENE DATA online on their online menu. Only a few select dispensaries do this, if they haven’t erased it again you’ll see my horrible review for harvest of rockville, worst dispensary on earth harvest is a sick godamn joke. The fact so many dispensaries won’t list their terps online AND have the audacity to act like I’m a hassle for asking for such information over the phone. It’s disgusting. Liberty cares enough to provide this vital data after all its almost all about the terps NOT thc content my fellow cannabis using baboons! They also have extremely reasonable pricing compared to others too. You won’t see them go past 55$ an 8th on ANY brand including verano and curio whereas most places charge 60-65 for those brands especially. They always have such a large variety of choices too and they throw great deals for all you bargain hunters out there especially when it’s on their own flower the small bud specials are great too. Same quality flower just small nugs for amazing prices. I also liked that they sometimes even offer their trim for extremely reasonable prices perfect for making edibles. I still have an ounce of their trim left for some future snacks. Lastly their staff they have the best staff out of any dispensary as well, I have met some great people at other dispensaries as well but in general as a whole the staff at liberty all kicks ass. I cannot begin to tell you the number of times actually almost always at other dispensaries I meet individuals that HAVE NO BUSINESS working in this industry. Some dispensaries are hiring individuals lacking brain cells to the max they are literally hiring apes it seems like. When the consumer (me) knows more about their products from their own brand they are supposed to represent that is a major godamn problem and not at all acceptable. They need to begin educating them. I have never had this issue at Liberty. They are all knowledgeable and recklessly ridiculously insanely friendly, outgoing and just all around excellent humans! Especially Papa Benjamin and Mama Myeshia. I hope I spelled her name right. I love these two humans so freaking much. Good job Liberty hiring them. Good job hiring all your staff. Good job on everything. Straight up the most respectable dispensary I have stepped foot In. Before this pandemic I always went with my little dog daughter iko and everyone was always so nice to her and they had treats for her as well. The fact they appear to be animal lovers further makes me love this place I wish I could live there and work there too but unfortunately cannot because of my unfortunate past and horrible youth. I had a temporal lobe brain injury that literally ruined and controlled my life until I found out about it a few years back and it caused me to have a bad life and did stupid things and self medicated with anything I got my paws on and got in trouble often. Once cannabis became available here I wanted to get on it and my family was against it and scared at first. Within weeks they saw such a dramatic change and difference I became a different person I felt normal for the first time in over 15 years. My parents quickly became advocates and gave me money to always have my herbs on hand it literally changed my life and gave me a life I want to dedicate my life to this plant. I cannot work in the industry sadly due to past misdemeanors and it’s crazy because cannabis helped me treat the problem that caused me to have those misdemeanors on my record in the first place. So I’m starting a YouTube channel “flowers of Maryland” very very soon as a means to try to get my knowledge out there and to get into the industry another way hopefully. And you best believe Liberty will be the main dispensary I’ll always Praise because I will be making some videos regarding all the major problems I have with dispensaries in this state. You know just little things like Liberty giving me a full 20% veterans discount. All the dispensaries that are at 10% veterans discount which is many you think I’d go there?? Hell no. Liberty respects Veterans and I Respect Liberty. It’s a circle of respect you see how that works fellow humans?? If you’ve never been to Liberty you are merely nothing more than a fool. But it’s ok you can fix your foolish ways by indulging yourself in a visit to Liberty’s Cannabis World!!! I am not endorsed by Liberty either I just think they kick major ass and are setting the bar high for these other mediocre and some pathetic dispensaries (harvest)..........

Please for the love of god lost your products terpene Data on your menu online. It’s the only reason I’ve never been to your dispensary and probably won’t ever be and it’s such a shame you have a wonderful inventory but I won’t leave my house unless I’ve had a chance to see the terpene profiles on ALL your flower it’s the only way I shop. Curaleaf in Gaithersburg does it. Kannavis does it, true wellness Laurel does it, culta in Baltimore does it, and liberty in rockville does it. And it’s the only reason I shop at those specific dispensaries. I just saw your menu and you had a lot of nice things that caught my attention. If you had your terpene data available like those other dispensaries I would be heading to your dispensary today to spend my 300$ instead I am taking it to the dispensaries who care about Their patients and actually list their terpenes. Please rectify this you will increase your business believe me most people only care about THC anyways and you know this. So list the terpenes as well for people like me who ONLY shop off of terpene data nothing else. I’m not the only one either there’s absolutely a group of connoisseurs that your excluding from your business at the moment. Like I said I’ve never been to your location and won’t be until you have your terpene data available. I have tried calling to ask to be read the full terpene analysis on every product and obviously as you can imagine IT DOES NOT GO WELL especially when your busy. Then I get an attitude for simply wanting to know about the medicinal value of the medicine you sell. It’s actually ridiculous and shameful this is meant to be medicine how can we choose our medicine if we don’t even know it’s medicinal value ? And I know testing data isn’t all that accurate however it does give you an idea of what to expect and in my case 98 percent of the time the terp data allows me to make my choices correctly. Thc data NEVER does.
