100 Strains Bud Review: INCREDIBLE Hybrids!
In the heyday of Vancouver's free market dispensary scene, my wife @MediKatie and I tried out at least 100 strains of cannabis! We kept track of them all in a notebook called the Cannalogue, and included photographs and sometimes even video clips. MediKatie and I had been underground buyers and users of cannabis for years. Then, she got her "card", a few weeks before me - those adventures were recorded here, here, and here. In this latest episode, I want to show you MY first official gray-market dispensary purchase, in May 2015!
That was a dense quarter-ounce nug of lemon sour diesel, a sativa hybrid popular in Vancouver at the time. We vaped all the other nugs in the bottle, sparing that one until we absolutely needed it!
Report: Intense lemon aroma upon cracking the nugs. After grinding, even stronger, plus the characteristic diesel scent wafting through. The flavour was mostly lemon, with a hint of other fruit. And the high came on fast n hard! We found ourselves going back for more rather soon, both because the effect faded, and because the taste was so damn pleasant.
There's a baggie of our mainstay - Sour Diesel. Less dense nugs, but really well grown and cured.
Plenty of trichomes! A pleasure to bust and grind. Happy, energetic high and pain control.
Can't tell you what that one was. A really tasty hybrid, that's all I remember! Good thing we kept better records on most other strains. I decided to include this because it's a cool photo of a tasty nug, and it brings back happy memories. MediKatie probably remembers this stuff too. Great medicine.
Lastly, a trio of strains in medicine bottles!
The CBD Digweed was mellow, and lacked much flavour. We usually mixed that with other strains.
The CBD Afghani was delicious and a little stronger, quite good for relaxing in the evening.
The Super Silver Haze x Tahoe OG was absolute fire! That photo didn't turn out well, but you get the idea. Very light-coloured, loaded with trichomes, and tons of flavour. Packed a lasting punch, great for lunch-time on a day when you have nothing else to do but listen to music, work in the garden, and stay baked!
These delicious and beneficial strains began a 2+ year nonstop cannabis buying and testing phase, which we documented with notes and photographs. (We even loved dispensaries so much, we did a YouTube video teaching other people how to get access to cannabis this way! We also protested dispensary closures, started a 2.5 year cannabis farmers market in downtown Vancouver, and were part of a "Dispensary Safety Squad" which aimed to protect other activists fighting cannabis prohibition.)
Stay tuned for lots more strains - some of the best genetics and growers in the world. We documented over 100!
