Now on the wrong side of half a century, the lungs are starting to complain a bit. Need to cut down on the smoke but don't want to abstain as the gange helps me think, concentrate and focus (won't go into undiagnosed neuodiversity but i am sure there are others using for exactly the same reason, whether recognised or not). Thought this product could be the answer to my prayers. HL got a package out within 24 hours of my order, with good stealth so it got here no problem. I was ready to give it a bash.

I tend to have a doob within an hour of getting up (sure i'm not the only one) but wanted to start fresh, so didn't have a j before trying the tincture; just so i knew what effects i felt could only be attributed to the spray.

In my haste to get on with it, i didn't test the pump beforehand. I aimed at my open gob and on first press i got nothing. Prime the pump, i thought. So pumped the nozzle a couple of times and got some liquid under my tongue, didn't feel like much so pumped another, again just a little, there's me thinking the spray doesnt work; so gave it another pump and only a little came out. Decided to test the amount coming out by spraying on to a plate - not much came out, so licked that up. I then realised that 7.4mg spray dose at 1.36mg per drop is only 5.5 drops - which isn't very much liquid at all! The intention was to start small (ie one spray) and find my balance - I've gone and given myself at least 30mg and its only 0830!

The taste of the tincture was pleasant, which is good as HL advised to spray under the tongue and keep it there a couple of minutes before swallowing.

After around 45 mins, i started to feel the beginning of the effects. My eyes became heavier at 1 hour and at 1 hour 30 its like there's a fountain of THC going off in the middle of my brain. Physically, the body is capable of getting up and doing stuff but the brain is saying 'chill, bro, you deserve it'. The fountain feeling continues on for the duration of the high and despite wanting to chill, i was able to get up and function, dealing with the mundane and tedious housework tasks of a Saturday morning that normally take at least 3 doobs to do; somewhat more spaced out than usual though.

At around 3 hours after feeling the first effects, i started thinking about having a j, although i would say that was the nicotine craving becoming stronger (normally had at least 2 by midday). Probobably could have pushed it a bit longer, if i had distracted myself, as the high rolled on but felt like it maybe was starting to ease off a little. Had the doob anyway, bloody hell, that knocked me for six. Obviously the high wasn"t easing off at all. Now i had the effects of the spray and some top notch gear, oh dear, Boring Mum's not going to be too impressed if i'm dribblig in front of the kids at lunchtime. Managed to bumble through the next couple of hours without any incident and had straightened out by early afternoon - phew, got away with that one. Glad I didn't have to drive anywhere - there should be a 'do not operate heavy machinery' sticker on the bottle, lol.

The point of the exercise was to find something that could replace inhaling super heated stuff, and this product certainly does that. My noob adventure detailed above helped me to understand how it needs to be planned, carefully dosed and respected! Each person is different and finding a suitable dose will no doubt be a personal journey - I tried three sprays this morning (Sunday) and although feeling similar effects, they are a lot more mellow and more attune to day/ work time use; just what i wanted.

Won't be giving up combustion just yet, as i have recently purchased an oz of some cracking strains; however this is the start of my booting tobacco into the long grass, it could be yours too - just make sure you prime and test the pump first.

Since joining this community, I have got into the habit of smoking three strains throughout the day (worktime/ pre-kids bedtime/ post-kids bedtime) - and why wouldn't I, after years of street dregs.

Lazydaze currently has three strains that complement each other very nicely, all working in a slightly different way to get you progressively more baked throughout the day, so thought I'd write a quick review.

His Super Silver Haze takes me right back to the Grasshopper circa '98, with its unmistakable aroma. The smoke is smooth and flavourful with its citrusy terps. It comes on after about 15 minutes, when I get a wobble in the frontal lobe with some tingling around the forehead and then, mmmmmm, a wave of relaxation passes through the grey matter. From then on, for the next couple of hours, it provides a happy, elevated high with the energy to take on whatever the day throws at you. Perfect.

Forbidden Fruit doesn't disappoint. The pungence of the purple/ dark green buds detracts from the reported fluffyness - it still grinds up nice and the smoke is pleasantly fruity (surprise, surprise). A clean, tingly, functional high that seems to eminate from the cerebellum awaits. The high mellows to a positive, long lasting stone that weighs more on the body than the Haze but not to a point where you are glued. Lovely bit of after work flower, for powering through the washing up and getting creative at tea time (living the dream).

The dark green Mint Choc Chip/ Emerald/ GDP buds look like they will do some damage and they smell like it too. There are a complexity of flavours within the smoke, its not Viennetta but a hint of mint choc is definately in there. The high comes on quite quickly and centres more around the temple, with a pleasant numbness forming between the eyes. It starts off mellow but you soon notice gravity seems to have been turned up a notch. Performance on CoD goes down markedly (from rubbish to aweful) but for some reason I care very little. A couple more and gravity has cranked up to 11. Next thing I know, I am waking up on the sofa at 0500 with the dog licking my face.

All the strains have clearly been cared for during cultivation and they've been cured to perfection. Looking down the scope, the buds are covered in trichomes formed out of pure organic goodness, just waiting to evaporate and travel around your vascular system.

Dealing with Lazydaze is a pleasure. Comms are always informative, helpful and timley, particularly when there have been issues (there was a klepto-postie incident before Christmas and then there was the great LB leap year shut down) - each time I have been handsomely compensated with additional weed, when really there was no need; gratefully accepted though, lol. Stealth is spot on nowadays too.

Lazydaze knows his product inside out and his green fingered farming genes are put to good use creating, what I am happy to describe as, some of the nicest bud I have ever had - and at that price, the best value too.

Keep up the good work, Lazydaze...

After a LB101 mistake whilst making an order baked (make sure you're logged in, guys), my opportunity to leave an anonymous review had been removed; however I feel I really should write something of my experience as it has been outstanding.

As I assume all well mannered Biggas do before they make an order, I sent BB a message to introduce myself, as I had just reached the hallowed 10 purchases. The initial response, and others after, showed what a decent chap BB is. He was particulaly helpful allaying my fears following the above boo- boo.

The stealth was next level stuff, truly inspired. Hard casing, decoy stickers and a rattle in the box that would put any klepto-posti off the scent (not that any of the beautiful aroma within could leak out). Once cut throught the outer layers of plastic and tape, the prestige was impressive. Within the hard casing, logos adorned a heat sealed baggie with a window through which the bud reveals itself for the first time.

On cutting into the bag, a waft of fruity goodness meets your nose. I was starting to slaver when I saw the bud, now I'm literally drooling! The pastelly green buds with orange pistils glistened as they were taken out of the inner bag. Although dense in nature, there was a slight spring within the structure of the bud indicating they were as fresh as a daisy. They look so gorgeous, its a shame to break in to them but needs must.

Before grinding, a quick look under the scope shows a landscape of crystally trichomes sparkling back at you. I chuck a bit in the grinder and it breaks up perfectly, appearing well cured. Smokes lovely with pleasant fruity terps, haven't wanted to put them out be honest.

The high is lush and long lasting. Cerebal, relaxing, functional and creative I would say. I've been walking round like Mr Soft for the past couple of days but still managed to tidy my teenager's room (which hasn't been done for a year - some things have to be done stoned) and I built him a bed too!

My hope was that this strain would give a nice balanced buzz for afternoon/evening and it has done just that. Having given 10/10 in the past for my orders - and don't get me wrong, I've been very lucky, chosen Vendors wisely and have always recieved nice, sometimes really nice bud - 10/10 doesn't seem enough for BB's all round package.

And just to prove how creative the high is and a treat for making it this far without falling asleep, here is a haiku:
