Island Sweet Skunk reviews

I went in with low expectations with this strain due to the lack of knowledge going into buying this strain. Unfortunately I was let down because of the lack of potency. This was the first strain I've ever had to keep smoking constantly wondering if I'll even get a buzz, it was definitely a strange experience. Once I finally felt a buzz (after 3 bowls), it was somewhat of a light head high for about 20 minutes then it abruptly transitions to fatigue and increased appetite. I'm sure my experience may have just been an outlier to all of the other wonderful experiences that other people have reviewed on this strain so hopefully that's the case, so I'm sure I won't buy it again, but if I have an opportunity to try it, of course I would give it a second chance; but my first impression was just not at all what I look for when trying to smoking new strains, so unfortunately one star.

This bud was awesome. Solid taste and a wonderful head high that lasts. 7 if not 7.5

very good taste its like a fruity skunk very nice. Colorado born. Use sensible amount don't go overboard it will put you down miserably if not respected.

Dull buzz. I think I got SIS (hybrid) instead of ISS. Bought thru delivery, delivered as "SIS" on label. I had confusion when I researched prior to purchase because there are some reviewers who wrote that ISS (Island Sweet Skunk) is different from SIS (Sweet Island Skunk) - w/ISS being the sativa & SIS being a hybrid w/more indica qualities. The same goes for an internet search outside leafly.com, although most reviewers say they are known as the same name and there is no difference. My delivery service said SIS (which I bought) is the same as ISS, but I DISAGREE. The "SIS", Sweet Island Skunk, in no way compared to the rave reviews and my expectations of what people are calling "ISS", Island Sweet Skunk, and the buds in my order were small and not as trichome-ie as the pictures of the longer, bigger buds of ISS -Island Sweet Skunk. The "SIS" that I got left a dull, functional buzz, but there was no creativity or energy as associated with what I feel is the real ISS, and how it is rated as such on leafly, etc. There was no 'get-up-and go' feeling and my brain never clicked into awesome thinking mode. Confused? So was I, as the SIS will make you forget what you got up from your chair to do, and you'll walk in circles until you remember, but other than that, all you feel is dull. No fun, no smiling, no happy, no thoughts. That's not what I smoke for. I smoke to get up and go, forget my pain, and work. Or in other cases, sit and write, or do an art project, which is why I like the creativity of the sativas. I am a long-time smoker and while I'm new at the medical level, I'm not new at the smokers level, and after smoking the "SIS" I felt it would have been one of private party pick-ups from years ago that I would have said 'man that shit sucks.' So medi-smokers beware: my thoughts are if you see this as "SIS" (Sweet Island Skunk), it's the hybrid, lower end of the true strain, ISS, Island Sweet Skunk. My delivery service has always provided top shelf, "A" grade meds, so the issue isn't with them switching something out on me. My issue is with someone messing up somewhere and making my delivery service believe they received the true ISS instead of of the indica dominant strain, SIS. I never complained to them. Just smoked it and waited until this dose ran out, but I do wonder if anyone else complained that SIS just didn't live up to the hype of ISS. Personally, for fear of getting SIS again, I won't buy this strain, which is unfortunate because I'd like to be able to try the real ISS and know that I'm actually getting the ISS and not SIS. Maybe I'm wrong and there is no difference, in which case go for the ISS or the SIS if you want to take the chance. I didn't believe the people who flouted the idea that there were 2 strains, but after smoking it myself, I believe that to be true. Unfortunately, I won't take the chance again.

best high I've had made me talkative uplifted it's a let's go do something high

Overall this strain is a solid bet for a functioning pain relief or anxiety relief. I have smoked this strain many ways as well as vaporized it. As it is an older strain there tends to be a large range in which I have seen it produced. A better genetic cut will present itself with fine red hairs and a light trichome dust. The color ranges from a pale green on the bottom branches to a more forest green toward the top. The colas are tightly packed and when split this strain will give off a fruity, sweet, and almost fermenting like odor. The result is a clear head high with sharp relief felt behind the eyes, behind the brain, and in the upper torso (arms, chest, shoulders) Final decision: Great strain for early to mid day, it will make you feel weightless and pressure-less without affecting your function for work or play.

Might be the most chilled strain there is, you appreciate music, art, and the beauty of life, those are my only words...

This strain is a somewhat uplifting high, the buds were very dense and smelled delicious with that fruity aroma I look for. Made great oil and tasted amazing. Definitely recommend for times when you don't want couch lock syndrome going on.
