Alien Jack

1/11/2024
Let me just start off with mentioning that as an experienced smoker, this stuff is STRONG. Keep that in mind before getting this strain on a whim. I used a vape (Bloom 0.5g RTU. works great!) and idk about the normal flower's potency but the concentrate really is something else! Taste is nutty, earthy, slightly sweet and spicy with a hint of a chemical pungent smell. Slight tobacco like feel to it but wouldn't say it's as gross... Kinda lies somewhere between ghost train haze and maybe Trainwreck or something. Nonetheless, depending on your personal preferences that might be a turn off. Worth mentioning that the vapor goes down very smooth with little irritation. As for effects, this didn't disappoint. Alien Jack has one hell of a couch lock to it and it still remains intensely cerebral. If you're prone to anxiety or paranoia from weed, this definitely has the potential to cause it. You don't need a lot to go very far. Works great to distract from pain and for sleep but in low doses it's a great stress reliever and aid for focus. If you're looking for it's more stimulating side, just gotta be careful to not overdo it (easier said than done😅. Again.. not to be underestimated). You can always take more but once you do you can't take less lol. In summary, use with caution! Still an A+ strain ;).

Finished this one a while ago but it's still fresh enough in my memory to give this review. Also found the package. Def one of my favorite newer strains. There is absolutely nothing to dislike about the smell; it's so sweet and fruity but not in an overwhelming way and there isn't anything skunky, earthy, cheesy, or peppery to it. Kinda reminds me of the tangy sweetness of strains with myrcene, bisabolol (sweet n lightly floral), and limonene... no idea just a guess lol, don't take it as fact. There just nothing really "savory" or offensive to it and ik that's a big plus for a lotta folk and for some a necessary condition for smoking in the first place! To each their own but I love strains like this. As for effects, stuff is plain euphoric. It's not too heady or too heavy on the body but it's also not weak in these categories either and if you smoke enough you will get quite stoned lol so keep that in mind! It takes a fair bit to get to that couch lock stage but even at that point I didn't get anxious or particularly fatigued and it was very euphoric. Honestly can't wait to get it again!

This stuff is awesome! It's got such a unique smell to it and it's quality is top notch. Just what the doctor ordered😋. It's got a classic floral sweet lemon candy smell I've smelled in many other strains (I often associate it with some combination of Limonene, myrcene, and linalool) but then on top of it there's this slightly earthy smell as well as this amazingly champagne-like odor. Those earthy champagne smells get stronger upon smoking it. Effects-wise this stuff feels more on the stimulating end resembling haze strains imo so if those kinds of strains make you anxious or uncomfortable it's worth considering before trying this. It's more energizing than most hybrids and indicas for sure but the effects also have this lovely relaxing component to them. Those two aspects combine to make a very uplifting get-up-and-go strain that doesn't necessarily force you to get moving. Some people may need that in their lives, to each their own... but for me this is a huge plus. This stuff is grade A loud, if it pops up in your area and you're looking for an uplifting happy strain that'll give you a solid boost of motivation, it's absolutely worth a shot.

Absolutely a new fav. It's got such a strongly sweet, gassy, pine smell and the effects are amazing. I don't really smell the peppery carophyllene much however. Smell feels somewhere between Trainwreck and Dutch Treat... Almost like ripe bananas! N not laffy taffy banana flavoring or anything like that. These fluffy conical buds are absolutely covered in light gold trichromes. Smoking low to moderate quantities is not too overwhelming but if you smoke enough it can still be sedating and fairly intoxicating compared to other strains so keep that in mind. At low doses it parallels sativas like Jack herer, sour diesel, or strawberry cough with calming and anxiety-relieving effects while still remaining energizing. When you smoke enough tho, it can get nice n sleepy as well as very euphoric! This is a true 10/10 strain for me!

Dutch Treat

I'm not gonna lie my experience did not go how I expected it to based off of what people said. For me, it feels like a heavily Sativa leaning hybrid and there's nothing particularly relaxing about, granted it's definitely not edgy like some hardcore sativas. It's got that vaguely spicy apple n pine smell I associate with terpinolene heavy strains like Jack Herer n Super Lemon Haze. It's def got a complex flavor profile but as a whole, this stuff smells like cinnamon, peppermint candies and cupcakes. The effects were energizing and euphoric and while it definitely didn't cause me any anxiety, it didn't help as much as a lot of other strains either. I can see this stuff however potentially being great for getting out of a depressive funk! Overall, I'm a huge fan! Also it helped with pain from esophageal spasms a lot too. Can't say that for many strains!

Guava Cake

9/12/2023
Didn't get quite the same smells other people described here, or maybe just interpreted it differently... Mine has a light tart fruit/berry odor with a much more dominant cream cheese smell. It's also got a genuine guava/kiwi aftertaste when smoking. Real funky stuff. Also as other people said, it's very sedating too lol. Was initially hoping for maybe a slightly indica leaning hybrid just by the strain name but this is one of those knock yourself out strains for when you just can't sleep at night😴. I'm fine with that tho! Pleasant surprise really cause all I have left in the way of weed are a sativa and sativa-hybrid n I really needed something better for slumber. I can kinda see a world where it can be used during the day but for me it's just a little too fatiguing and cerebral. I'm planning on smoking this stuff again later tonight when I'll really need it lol. A+

36% THC with 43% total cannabinoids?... This is a new favorite for me lmao. To the people at Embarc in Alameda, thank you so much for the recommendation, you guys are the best😁. Smell is so similar to gorilla glue 4; pure diesel with that pungent spicy earthy citrus and a hefty dose of skunkiness on top of it all. At the same time there's a faint sweet almost papaya-like smell when you break up the nugs and when smoking it. The high is, much like gg4, very euphoric. Unlike it tho mentally it's more on the energizing than the couchlocking side. This is that permasmile smoke that will have you grinning n giggling at nothing. Great smoke with friends. However, this stuff is high THC n can take hold of you very quickly... The body feel is definitely more sedative with my muscles quickly relaxing post toke and this stuff will absolutely kick ur butt if you go overboard so keep that in mind.

This stuff's got a funky taste! Kinda reminded me of peanut butter breath but this stuff is really chocolate-y lol! Chocolate-y, coffee-y, peppery, nutty, n even faintly sweet n skunky😋. What can I say, I'm a sucker for unique smells and tastes! If I had to guess the top terpenes, I woulda had to say carophyllene, myrcene, n terpinolene. Not to mention this stuff is a whole lot more stimulating than peanut butter breath... The energy this stuff provides is great. Imo that's what it does best: boosting energy. No paranoia, anxiety, etc, just raw relief from fatigue. It can be mildly intoxicating if you smoke enough but it's more clear headed than a lot of sativas I've tried. Very good daytime strain and def interferes with sleep so don't smoke before bed! I love this stuff!!! A+

Blue Dream

Berries, cheese, pepper, n diesel. Sounds like a snack you'd eat if you were stoned enough n had nothing else to snack on lol. This strain is so euphoric and calming but it's not at all sedating. It's definitely on the stimulating end. The high itself is pleasant n gentle which is great when you still want the euphoric boost weed provides while not getting absolutely blitzed. Kinda comparable to Durban poison in that sense imo although this comes with a gentler stimulation. Def a sativa. Blue dream edibles are amazing. These blue dream edibles I tried were easily some of the best edibles ever being both euphoric and clear headed but also capable of helping with sleep. They also tasted good! Blue dream is awesome, A+

Lemon Cherry Gelato

This stuff caught me way off guard... The joint I got was just 23% THC but it felt like a higher THC strain (let's say felt like ~27%). Very happy with a pleasant mix of calming and energetic effects, but it could also be downright TRIPPY! This stuff is intoxicating and altered my thought processes significantly... Very creative but too much n I was non-verbal n ready to fall asleep lol. It's that mix up your left and right forget what you were talking about typa high. N the munchies... oh the munchies. I couldn't stop eating😆. The one downside of the trippy aspect besides the impairment is that it made me somewhat paranoid n uncomfortable if I smoked too much but it was more than tolerable and generally a net benefit for my anxiety. The smell/taste is both sweet and gently citrus-y like pink lemonade with a hefty layer of skunk n hops to top it off. I love it! It gets a solid 90% for me, although depending on what kind of smoker you are, it could def be a full 100😋. Good for sleep and watching movies lol
