an off-shoot of Skunk #1, ISS is a good solid sativa; nice semi-sweet flowery taste; great for a day-time high to relieve stress & anxiety and still keep you going..a review from Naggles at the Berkley Patients Care Collective:
For this week's review, I get a chance to look at one of my very favorite skunk strains: Island Sweet Skunk. A sativa heavy hybrid, Island Sweet Skunk is most often considered a phenotype of Skunk #1 or a close relative. They certainly share similarities in appearance, displaying the same shade of light green. The bud structure on the Island Sweet Skunk is a bit more airy, tending more towards the sativa side. This difference helps indicate that it will be a more mental and uplifting experience. Although the buds are not quite as dense as you would see in an indica heavy hybrid, the sample I’ve been provided has a golden sheen to it from its generous coating of resin.
Now I’d be lying to you if I said I waited until this point to crack open a bag and sample the smell. In fact, before even glancing at the front of the bag I have a nose full of skunky perfume. A truly complex scent greets me: a savory and sweet juxtaposition that gives me the impression that my nostrils want to fight one another. These warring sensations serve to entice rather than repulse like it’s animal namesake.
For this review I decided to try something new: sampling from a bong. The airy bud structure, coupled with previous knowledge of course, makes me think that rolling this particular strain would be less pleasant. Often, sativa-heavy hybrids will end up far too springy, making it difficult for me to form it into the desired shape. Just for ease of consumption, I’ve decided to use my water pipe. The hit is smooth and strong, with a citrusy kick. The onset of the high is very rapid, happening just as I finished my first bowl. The strength of this particular sample left me reeling, but it quickly settled into the energetic and uplifting high I had been expecting. All in all, I am pleased by [the functional-high] the experience [had].
This was one of the best strains I've smoked in a while. The smell of the Sweet Island is very strong and sweet/citric. This strain got me high after a few seconds, almost immediately. Very fun to smoke with friends. Energy was flowing all over my body after 10 minutes of having smoked it. My friend said he was so high that when he closed his eyes he saw the Berlin Wall. I'd smoke this again if I could. 9/10.
This is a great strain, but doesn't really allow you to interact with others. Very energetic and focused! Focus can be difficult to control, tend to zone out randomly. Slightly tingly, and very strong. Last about 2.5 hours. Highly recommended when you need to get stuff done around the house. Not good when you need to communicate with other people.
this mostly sativa hybrid is a cross of superskunk x grapefruit is a really good strain for getting thing done. super potent super crystally. smells and tastes of grapefruit and other citrus. dont cut early it really does alot the last 2 weeks

An excellent sativa, especially for daytime use. Very uplifting and clear headed effects with a mild euphoria. Initial smell reveals a tropical fruity scent, followed closely by subtle skunky undertones. The taste mirrors the scent profile, starting with a strong fruity flavour finishing with a slight skunk aftertaste. A great choice for anyone who is looking for a functional daytime medication.
Fun with zero paranoia. Short lived, but not too intense. I'd rate this one with Jamacian Dream and Tangie, because it leaves me feeling relaxed and ready for bed later. Some munchies but not too bad.
Well, ok i am kind of a rookie when it comes to all these measurements I am a recent patient prescribed for depression, anxiety and adhd. I just received my first prescription today from tilray. My bag says 5.1 thc and 7.6 cbd. I am not a regular smoker but I had a very positive and uplifting experience. I found it dry but have some cure packs to make it perfect for me how I like it. I own a bong so i ground up a small bowl enough for one giant lungful and was delighted by the taste. It was a real tropical almost outer worldly grapefruit flavor. It took a few to kick in but was not expecting to get much of it as usually have the dank crown royal from crop king seeds which runs about 28% thc and 2.5 cbd. I partake about once a week for recreation or sometimes even once a month. Has not been my "thing" since I discovered cocaine, destroyed my life and got better and clean for a long time. Now the reason I ordered it this strain in particular was it is supposed to help with anxiety. For me it did not have this effect lol. It made me feel like I had a few cups of coffee and spent a few hours yammering at myself how nice it was lol. 4 hr time warp for me lol. It is in my opinion an excellent sativa uplifting wholesome do good things strain. Thats how I felt. Now like I said I am not a chronic these days but was back in high school and years after that. I just love the experience I had and it brought back so many memories and good feelings. No real burn out either just general good feeling :):) Relaxed after my deep thoughts and busy rush cleared my thinking. I also ordered warlock which is 10% cbd on my bag cant wait to try that lol. I am experimenting to find whats best but in general gave me an energy buzz and minor anxiety at first just like boon here is are your thoughts lol. Anyway love it hope this helps
Really great strain. Extremely dank, not good for concealing it ANYWHERE. Amazing high. Slowly numbs you from head to toe. A fun strain to some when you have absolutely nothing to do!
