Very uplifting. It feels both spiritually clear and concise on one side, and a warm renaissance Titian/Caravaggio sun piercing enormous bunched white cloud on the other, but tinted any colour you want. Everything is emotionally bright yet sensible and sure of itself on all levels. My brain works better on this and feels much more curious and adventurous. But sensible and ordered, with improved focus, while my brain fog is pretty much gone. Feelings and shapes and bodily sensations are instantly available to me, but only when I choose to focus on them. I'm in some shining, confident and celestial cockpit, steering a consciousness that's tableclothed within something warmer and almost holier, but holy only in a sense of a mother's love for her young wayward child. Appetite is very much there when I need it, but not in any normal craving/munchies kind of way. Taste is elevated and yet different in a way I've never quite experienced before. This strain seems to do everything differently and.. better somehow. I’m completely present. My ego-mind is held somewhere on a tight leash I can’t even feel, because somehow, there is utterly no pulling from it in the direction of every single possible thought, fear or desire it can usually desperately conjure. It’s all of kind of Zen but in a sitting on a very comfy cloud and looking down on it all in high-definition. My consciousness is simultaneously soaring, safely held, and completely ordered. Motivation is present when none was before. I enjoy being active. Productive. I want to create. But only if I choose to. I’m equally happy with sitting still and fully enjoying whatever is front of me, feeling it wash over me. Music is fantastic, but again in a different way. It had me air-guitaring to rock and bouncing to anything with a beat, but equally entranced by vocals that sound deeper and more plangent than they usually do. I can switch effortlessly between focussing on lyrics and on small trills and tonality in each performer’s voice and the small variations of violins merging with horns and percussion. But the emotional journey of the song is like a river I keep moving happily through. It’s more forest than trees; ocean than drop; more symphony than cellist or chorist. In other words, my mind isn’t taking its sonic pieces apart as much as it usually does without permission on cannabis because intense study of beauty isn’t needed because it’s just… there and instantly accepted and assumed. As a result, its somehow more magical, like old music is new again, or I’m an eight year old listening to Jon Bon Jovi again. There’s a more solid flow that’s in unison with something generative. It’s a sonic wave to ride upwards and then glide down through the soft but very clear rays of afternoon sun. I feel more myself. The core of who I am. It's almost as if my soul has become temporarily more prominent in not only the decision making but the informational five-sense reality inputs and the way I'm processing thoughts/ideas. My filter hasn't only been widened; it's been replaced and improved and I feel as though I hold the reins of the new world that emerges a bit more firmly in my hands. I didn't know strains could do this.

Living with ME/CFS, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, TMJ and fractured sleep. Bought a vape of this blind and it's love at first hit. I am a indica/indica dom, medicinal midnight toker type, but I could honestly "people" on this. Actually, I could imagine myself in a food court whiling away the hours eating everything in sight while people watching and getting organically drawn into conversations. The only potential downside is actually having to get up. Alternatively, LGC is ideal to zone alone. I find my mind leaping like a Labrador o'er a grassy knoll with this strain. It genuinely tweaks my cognition and is a fantastic motivator for creative or literary pursuits. Any Indica dom where the level of Sativa is 30% or over is always a risk for me in terms of bumpy/scary come ups so I was very wary of this blind buy. I find no level of the scaries whatsoever with this and it just whooshes away the worst of my symptoms for a while. Definitely putting this next to Bubble Bath and Slurricane as go-to strains for co-ocurring health conditions, but I think Lemon Gelato Cookies might be my number one as it is the ONLY strain that has ever shifted my brain fog. A strain I think everyone should at least sample once.

After hearing a bunch of hype about LCG, I went out & bought the Dompen and some flower. I much preferred the vape to the flower. The flower was, testing low at around 20%, it was a bit dry & it hit like a 50/50 hybrid, which I really don't care for but the vape was incredible! Definitely gives you the giggles & relaxes you, perfect for watching a movie and falling asleep afterwards. Highly recommend!

Got a hold of this strain a long time ago and it doesn't disappoint. Smells pungently sweet with nice dark green and amber buds with a touch of purple. Truly a delight to smoke because of the taste. Gets you pretty stoned too ! The Indica characteristics shine through so I definitely know that I'm going to get faded. Helps me with chronic shoulder pain and insomnia. Have to give this one 5 stars because of how good it tastes.

Love hate relationship with this, as with all sativa strains. I do not know what I smoked, but what it did to me wasn't weed-like. Highly dissociative, confronted some trauma.

LCG 2.0 (barneys farm x backpack boyz phenotype). Highly potent around 33%. More LCG. More flavour delight, giggles and more giggles. The transition from Sativa to Indica is smooth, I found the Sativa effects just blended in with the Indica effects eventually, no counch lock despite the higher THC, tingling from head to toe and giggling. The effects are long lasting too. Very creative the 1st day though any subsequent days were just more topping up with indica effects due to the lingering next day effects so it's only really a good one off. It is worth it for that 1st day. You'll laugh and laugh. Good in social settings on the 1st night as it makes you very talkative though it's potent so be in the right crowd to avoid paranoia, if you are in the right crowd you'll enjoy even more, laugh and laugh. Got to try this phenotype it's worth it.

Medical smoker for fibromyalgia, sciatica and anxiety. I got Lemon Cherry Gelato flower from Rainier Reefer. This batch smells very high in limonene, which does tend to make me dizzy. It's a slow-creeping, strong weed that works for pain and anxiety with some side effects (dizzy, headache.) I sit down or lie down for a bit to let the initial warm, fuzzy, dizzy high pass, but once it does it kind of lifts pain and anxiety with it. I do feel a little irritable from the headache side effect, but otherwise very effective and easy to find in WA. Pleasant taste and smell.
