Mint Face Off
5/15/2023
A peculiar enough strain that I was motivated to publish my first strain review on Leafly about it. A very, very powerful strain that is best smoked at nighttime, as, while it doesn't induce severe couch lock, does make you quite sleepy. I work night shift at the time of this review, and smoked it in the AM after work to help fall asleep during the daytime hours. Face Mints, fresh from soon-to-be-vaunted cannabis industrialists CrescoLabs and packaged less than a month before purchase, has a very intense smell upon opening the canister, not so much of skunk but of a very unique mentholated damp, almost mildew smell (there was, of course, no mildew present!) The menthol is something I've never experienced in flower, and it is the prevailing flavor in the smoke, as well, along with an almost equally peculiar nuttiness.
The high is powerful and stoney, and will easily help you sleep, but doesn't induce laziness or couch lock and leaves mental focus only lightly impacted. It produced a minor body high, but not enough to likely be as beneficial as other strains for pain relief for those smoking medicinally. Definitely the most peculiar tasting flower I've smoked to-date!
