I will be disappointed with all of stoned society if loads of us aren't indulging in a mixture of drugs and the audio visual spectacular Tron Ares in 3d.

It's truly made for a spaced out cinema experience. I wouldn't want to give any spoilers away and the plot is so light that it'd be easy to accidentally blurt out in it's entirety. However, if you happened to be on mushrooms or a heavy edible then the simplistic plot and your capacity to fathom a storyline will be well matched.

That simplicity will allow you to sit back and enjoy the thrill ride of the spacey visuals and the pumping mix of electronica and distortion which perfectly binds the film together into a borderline magical experience.

I found it a most entertaining way to spend a couple of hours. It'd probably be more popular if they gave out my RSO cookies in the foyer instead of popcorn.

Thanks for reading the worst film review ever. I desperately didn't want to blow the plot but I do hope it inspires some of you to go check it out. There was only 8 people in the cinema I watched it in and I'm pretty sure I was more spangled than all of them combined. That's a shame.

Quality Grows

Keep It Green grew one of my favourite orange bits a while back - Orangina. They had a lovely Mimosa Evo back then too. This Spritz caught my attention so I thought I'd share it with the LB community.

As you'd expect from KIG, the Spritz has been well cared for and is super clean. The buds are hand trimmed and pretty densely compact.

Grinding Spritz

In the grinder my orange radar pinged immediately; There's a strong hint in the smell. Now sometimes, like with Tropicana Cookies, that orange promise is not always fully delivered upon but I'm immediately very curious. I noted in the reviews that someone compared it to Mimosa which obviously caught my attention and is a good sign. Let's find out.

Lighting It Up

First impression: Mmmmm. Oranges. Bloody hell that's a nice citrus flavour.

It's not quite as orangey as a boof or a mimosa but it's got the dank deep citrus edge I love. That's not to say it's not as flavourful - it is - but it's more of a complexly mixed citrus rather than a pure orange focus. The smoke arrives in thick oily clouds of deliciousness. After just a few puffs I know I'd have this one again for sure. It's definitely ticking a lot of my boxes even before the stone fully kicks in. If you like orange buds or mimosa you'll probably like this too.

Stone

The effects are orange-like too in that it's a light smoke to start with and slowly gets heavier as you chug away with the last parts of the stone catching up with you ten minutes after you stub. It's initially cerebrally invigorating and you need to meet it half way but it's a lovely energising buzz that becomes a much heavier sedated stone as it settles in. It's not like a panicky full haze energy buzz but it's a thoughtful stone. Which I'm down with as I like thinking. At least I think I do. I'll sit and have a think about it.

I Approve

The Spritz absolutely gets my approval. Not least for popping some unexpected orangeness into my life. It's decently strong stuff and two smokes back to back have given me need for a little sofa moment where, for at least a short while, I simply ain't going nowhere.

Even the effort of reaching towards the table for my tea seems like too much. But I want the tea. It's a battle that probably only a stoner will understand. Yes, it will be cold by the time I overcome my pothead paralysis and reach for it. No, it doesn't make sense to wait. Yes, I'll still wait.

Spritz Hash

I also had a small bit of the spritz hash and a couple of other buds which I enjoyed but didn't do a long write up on although I've noted them below.

The hash is a dry sift and smells like heaven when you warm up the block to check it. It's probably one of the freshest smelling hashes I've had and the aroma is a lot like the bud. The bud-like smell doesn't fully transform into taste though sadly like with most hashes. It isn't a spicy / hashy like an old school Moroccan either though and is more purely gassy like an extract. It's pretty strong stuff and produces thick clouds of smoke. It's a nice little treat.

LH2P

This bud tastes how I expected the spiritz would - like a lemonade gas. It's strong stuff and a lovely smoke. The name is like a lesser known Star Wars robot from a spin-off series though. And it probably only beeps. Not one of the talking ones. That aside it's second favourite here.

Blue Peach

This one's a true blue and reminiscent of an original blueberry from way back when but much stronger than an old flavour. I think old school blue seekers might enjoy this but for me the other two buds outclass it with more complex flavours and wilder stones. Perhaps others will prefer the blue for its more refined flavour profile and easier going - but still powerful - stone.

If these three buds were the original Top Gear trio then this one would be James May. I think that's the best way I can explain it.

Thanks For Reading

As always thanks for reading. I hope it's been informative and if not I hope it's been entertaining in some way. I always appreciate people getting involved in the comments so please jump in and ask any questions or add your opinion. Thanks people.

The Kid Who Ate All The Sweets

I was like a kid in a sweet shop on LB when I first joined. While that feeling hasn't ever quite left me I had really started to zone into my favourites and derivatives of late and had gotten into a bit of a loop.

More Sparkle

When it came to order time I was becoming less excited and as I'd seek out the same things on repeat it felt more mundane. It was a chore like popping to the supermarket. Now, in many ways, that's exactly how buying dried herbs online should feel like and I fully adore Little Biggy for making it so, but I just wanted to get a little bit of the sparkle back into our relationship.

Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit

I've probably mentioned previously once or twice that I quite like orange bud for example. So things like Green Cats Mimosa or Cannabis Cannibals Superboof were an obvious match for my tastes and I have repeatedly thrown my coins at those sorts of products. I've actually got a little Mimosa tucked away from Green Cat currently. Lovely stuff. I'm not faulting it for a moment.

Changing Behaviours

However, for my most recent order I fancied something different than I usually go for. But what? How do I change up the monotony of my own purchase behaviour loop?

Fear

While I wanted to roll the dice on something different I didn't want to end up stuck with weed I don't enjoy. That fear was holding me back.

Budget

I'm on a budget like I suspect many people here are so I can't just keep buying endless bits of weed until I find something that tickles my fancy, I have to smoke what I buy. Yes, not exactly a hardship, but it's still my reality and so whatever I do buy I'm making a commitment to.

Leap Of Faith

I decided to put my faith and trust in the Green Cat buyers ratings for my new choice as I was ordering a super-cheapie there anyway. Things like the Silver Bubble or the more recent Red Kush are incredibly well priced stash fillers.

This Is All Your Fault

I looked through the recent GC ratings and I picked from the things you folks rated the highest at the time. These are your 9.9's. So this introduction was basically just a very long way to say that if this all goes badly then I'm blaming you. It is everyone else's fault but mine.

My Order

I ended up ordering two flavour types I've had before but that I didn't really love. I went for Apple Fritter and Cream Soda. I really hoped the GC customers were onto something I'd missed. Both of these were at 9.9 ratings - albeit on fairly low volumes of reviews. I couldn't help but feel that I may be doing a stupid thing here but it was a new thing and I felt excited by it so I ran with it.

An Exercise In Trust

This is the cannabis buying equivalent of the trust exercise when you stand up then have to fall backwards with your eyes shut and rely upon someone catching you so you don't stack it into the floor. Will the GC customers have my back and catch me? Or am I hitting the deck? Let's find out.

Apple Fritter

https://littlebiggy.net/link/ZXYkvG

Let's start with the Apple Fritter. This is 65 bucks a quarter. I've had an apple strain before and I didn't like it. It had an unpleasant tang and a headiness I didn't get on with. Even as I write that sentence I am reviewing my own stupidity. There will be no need for anyone to point this out to me if it goes badly.

Grinding Apple

The Apple Fritter unsurprisingly has an apple smell immediately in the grinder. There's more complexity than that but it's fully earned at least half its name. Since I'm not an apple fan my first thought is to wonder what the hell I was thinking. However, we're all in and committed now so let's see what's what.

Smoking Apple

Lighting up I'm met with nice thick smoke and an initial musk note that reminds me of the old musky silver haze flavour I can't seem to find anywhere.

At first I thought it was going to be like a fruity nerds which has a similar backnote. But this is quickly overpowered with sour notes that remind me of an apple laced sour diesel. This sourness is packaged up inside some sweeter notes making it a really interesting and balanced smoke that remains tasty and varied throughout.

I Like It

I'm enjoying it much more than I expected. Which is good as I've bought a bit of it so I'll be chugging at it for a couple of days.

The hit has a heady few minutes to kick off which is then eased with a slow hitting but heavier chilled stone. So it's not manic or too cerebral. It does get your attention but is very easy to get along with.

Overall

Overall it's a lovely smoke and I thank the good people of Little Biggy for rating it highly and thus aiming me at it for purchase.

Your Reviews Help

If you ever wonder if your buyer reviews have an impact then they do and I hope this makes you feel better about taking the time to do them. Apple Fritter reviewers - I thank you.

But What About The Creamy One?

It's 1-0 to the GC reviewers so far. Will they bang in the winner? I've had cream strains a few times and I don't fully understand them. I don't dislike them the way I dislike Stardawg or Lemon Haze but I generally don't seem to get along with them.

Generally they've seemed to me to be a way to dilute a nicer flavour that was trying to get out. Again I don't need anyone to point out my own stupidity for ordering something I might not like but so far it's actually worked out great.

Cream Soda

https://littlebiggy.net/link/ks0JLi

The Cream Soda has decent sized buds that are pretty dense. Like the apple it's also 65 bucks a quarter.

Grinding Cream

In the grinder it immediately reminds me of Gelato. It's not a derivative strain though as far as I know.

Smoking Cream

Sparking it up the first drag was a little muted but the early tastes I get are subtle notes of cream with a gassy or kushy note. Maybe there's a blue hint in there. Maybe it's not as fruity as a blue and it's more like a red wine. For me the cream does dull this but it is slick and velvety smooth to smoke. Perhaps that's a core appeal to cream fans.

Creamed

The stone is decently strong but very easy. It arrives as smoothly as it smokes so it's like it's giving you a bit of a cuddle. It's a very safe high but not by any means weak. It keeps on arriving after you think it's arrived. Then it arrives some more. But it's a reassuring high that is easy going and feels like everything is pretty okay.

Quality Check

I'm going to dip into this again later as it may have been a little muted because I'd been at the apple for a while. You won't have to wait though as this is not a live performance.

Round Two

Okay we're going for round two on the Cream Soda. In the grinder, along with the vanilla that reminds me of Gelato is a sort of soured port barrel smell like a cookies or a Durban strain. Perhaps these are the soured wine and fruit notes I was trying to describe earlier.

Second Smoke

Smoking the second one I'm still at butter cream icing flavours that stifle potentially fruitier notes. It still reminds me of a creamy gelato. It is a nice strong smoke and I am enjoying it though.

The more I plow through it the more I enjoy the stone which really is lovely and keeps on rolling in after you stub. However, for me, it's just missing a magic something. There's nothing wrong with the weed itself - I'm pretty sure that the cream lovers at GC were correct with their high rating - it's just a flavour that's just not quite right for me.

Flavour wise it is both literally and figuratively a bit too vanilla for my tastes. I'm still glad I've tried it though and the strong stone is well worth it.

Conclusion

- Will I do this again?

Yes, I'll push my comfort zone and put my trust in the LB community more often. Maybe I'll buy some Lemon Haze or Stardawg next to really test my limits.

- Which was the best strain?

The Apple is definitely my preference but the cream is probably the stronger of the two.

Final Words

I'm glad I tried a couple of different flavours outside of my usual comfort zone. One I'll have again, one probably not so much. Sorry cream lovers. But either way at least I opened my world up to a new experience and that's made me feel more alive which can only be a positive. I'm also really stoned so it feels like a win all round.

Thanks

Thanks to all of you for reading my stuff. I genuinely appreciate it. I hope that it was informative and if not I hope it was entertaining in some way.

Get Involved

Please do get involved in the discussion below. I always like to hear peoples thoughts. Thanks LB folk.

Its hard to imagine better budget weed than Green Cat pump out on repeat.

Delivery is usually fast and generally I'm looking at the buds in my grinder two days after ordering. Stealth is spot on and the buds arrive in perfect condition.

The three strains I've just picked up are great examples of the bang you get for your buck at GC.

Let's start with the Purple Mazar

This is a bargain $55 QTR / $105 Half oz

https://littlebiggy.net/link/Ug0GEM

Mazar is half of one of my favourite strains - Skywalker - so we're halfway there before starting.

Firstly it must be noted that this is the prettiest weed I've had in a long time. It's actually purple. In the grinder you get a beautiful mixture of the outer purple and inner green leaving a grind of highlighted purple hues with an old school smell. The pre-smoke appeal alone makes me glad to have bought it and it's the reason I decided to start writing.

To smoke it's like a musty kush. I meant that in a more positive way than it sounds. It's got the Mazar twang. An odd high note that laces the overall Afghanish taste much like it does to the main blueberry flavour in my favoured Skywalker. It's like a tinge of stale red wine. Is this making it sound better or worse? I like it, I'm just struggling to describe it.

The stone is pretty chilled. It's a lovely essy smoke and definitely amongst the best value bits I've had on LB.

Mcflurry is next.

This is $60 QTR / $115 Half oz

https://littlebiggy.net/link/bpau6d

I'm going through these in price order. This came as two buds, one weighed over 5 grams - one of the biggest buds I've had in ages. As expected from the name it's a sweetshop candy flavour with a pretty strong kush style stone to boot.

This is what I often refer to as an 'easy' stone. As in it gently arrives as you're smoking and doesn't demand much from you. It tends to be at the relaxed and euphoric end of the high spectrum. That's not to say it's weak, it's not, but it is easy to smoke. I can see why so many popular strains fit this subset like Runtz or gelato.

That's the Mcflurry.

For five bucks more than the purple you get more flavour and a stronger hit but it's not as pretty. It's a flavour you've had in a hundred other strains but there's a reason it's so popular.

Zowah

This is $65 QTR / $120 Half oz

https://littlebiggy.net/link/2f8E2P

Mmmmm.... Zowahh. Even in the grinder you know you're in for a treat.

This is an absolutely delicious smoke. Much like the Mcflurry it's a sweetshop flavour but so much more so. This has thick sweetly gassy clouds of smoke and a full flavour exhale. It tastes devine this stuff.

It's heritage includes zkittles and sour diesel which is evident in the mixed flavour profile as it's sweetly sour and gassy all at once.

The stone is both an early chilled buzz with a follow up sedative hit that keeps rolling for a while.

So this is easily the best smoke of the three. The extra five bucks again buys you an upgrade.

The Zowah is a really lovely smoke and a perfect mix of flavours (although no orange).

So what does all this prove?

You pay more, you get better weed. To be honest I didn't expect it to work out like this. I wanted to show the opposite of this. Many times I've ordered a few bits from GC it's turned out to be one of the cheaper bits that was the best. That was what I expected to write up when I started this. It was supposed to be a bombshell piece but really it's blown up in my face.

I guess life is like a box of cannabis. You never know what you're going to get.

Thanks

Thanks as always for stopping by and reading my topic. I hope it was informative and if not I hope it was entertaining in some way.

I really appreciate everyone who reads my words and I'd love it if you'd be so kind to upvote it if you like this stuff and get involved in the discussion in the comments. It really helps share it with other folk on LB. Thanks.

Is This a Thing?

I don't know if this is a common thing or not but I've decided to make vaped weed cookies.

My Vaped Weed

The weed that's been through my vape has had about 6 mins of vape time. Usually around 180c-200c. I don't vape much and when I do I'm still a flavour chaser so don't vape it that long - I guess. I've been stockpiling it for a short while so there's a wide mixture of bits in there. I weighed it up at a very handy and familiar number of 3.5g of browny coloured strands and dust.

The Theory

So the theory is that locked away in my vaped weed is THC that I've paid for but not enjoyed yet. And that I shall be able to extract it using nothing but heat and margarine. That's the science here.

Preparation

Yes. Preparation. You need more of this than I did. I wrote the steps below on the fly then wrote this introduction afterwards. I guess it's a very Tarantino way to deliver a topic but it will make sense if you read through.

Firstly, you probably want to make sure you actually have enough cookie mixture before you start. More on that later. Also required are a cheesecloth or other strainer, a pan, a baking tray, greaseproof paper, vaped weed, and an oven which needs preheating to 190c or whatever your cookie mix packet tells you to. And some margarine or butter.

Step 1

I melted a couple of spoons of margarine in a stainless steel pan until it was hot but not bubbling. A strong start.

Step 2

Then I chucked the vaped weed in. I kept it hot but removed it from the heat if it bubbled. Then put it back on the heat. Over and over. I did that until I got bored. Probably just a few minutes. I stirred it a bit too.

I figure, and I'm happy to be corrected, that the hot oil in the marg will likely mop up THC and other compounds quite rapidly. But please chime in if you know the science around this.

Step 3

Then I let it cool off slightly as I think boiling margarine will probably be quite hot to touch. This is a safety step. If you do happen to burn yourself doing this then maybe cookery ain't for you. Don't blame me. We are all adults here.

Step 4

I ordered cheesecloth from eBay. To be fair I did this in advance. If you wait until step 4 before doing this it probably won't go so well. If you don't have cheese cloth then use what you do have like a sieve or put pin holes in tinfoil. I'll write an introduction so this is less of a surprise.

The cheesecloth actually works well and I got most the liquid margarine, which is now a nice dark colour, squeezed out of by twisting it and squishing it with my fingers. I also got loads on my hands and lots of other places. It's a messy process. At least for me.

Step 5

Now it's time to mix the (cooled) margarine with the cookie mix. At this point I hit a wee snag. I don't have enough cookie mix. I'll definitely add a paragraph at the beginning of this about what you need to prepare - or what I should have prepared.

The mixture is now brown liquidy stuff. No chance of making cookies from it. It has not gone well. In the cupboard I do have a brownie mix so I added this to rescue this project and bulk it out into a dough.

You'll know when you have the consistency right as it'll be like sticky dry breadcrumbs. Once it's like that you can grab some in your hands and roll it into a ball of dough in your palms. I have a mixture of brownies and cookies. Brookies.

Step 6

I took my two brookie dough balls and popped them onto greaseproof paper on a baking tray. The oven was another thing I'd prepared in advance by switching it on. It is becoming clear that I shall never have my own cooking channel. The brookies went into the oven for 8 minutes. They probably needed a minute less or less heat.

Step 7

You need to remove them from the oven. Again, anyone who needs to be informed of this should probably stick to deliveroo for meals. Don't try eating hot cookies off a baking tray with your head in a 190 degrees oven folks. Oh... I probably should have mentioned the temperature earlier. I'll definitely add all this in. I didn't choose the temperature specifically though. I'm sure the packet probably has better instructions than me so follow most of that.

Anyway, remove them from the oven and then let them settle. If you mess with cookies straight out the oven they tend to disintegrate. Once cooled a bit they will solidify into biscuits.

Step 8

I have two vaped weed brookies. Now I've got to eat one. I've no idea if it's going to blow my head off or just be a bad tasting biscuit. Maybe both. But we won't know until later.

Let's See If This Was A Good Idea

It's actually a tasty biscuit. Either the vaped taste is covered or just not massive. No terrible aftertaste either. It's not like a brownie or a cookie and more like a cheap chocolate biscuit. It's how you'd expect a biscuit to taste if nesquick made them. At least it's edible. Now all I can do is wait. I'll be back in a bit and hope that it's not just to tell you to ignore the previous 8 steps.

Nothing Yet But My Weedy Sense Is Tingling

I'm impatient. I think that the brookie is starting to take effect as I've squinty eyes and a little cheeky grin forming for no reason at all. That could just be as I'm pleased with my own stupidity. Give me half an hour and I'll be back.

One Hour In

Okay. An hour is generally enough to judge and I've got a pretty solid heady buzz and a sedate effect from the brookies. It's not crazy strong but I'm definitely aware that I've had some edibles.

There's a part of me that feels my Grandma, who never lost her war-time habit to save, economise, and maximise everything, would feel proud of this moment. I have extracted some added value from something. This is a happy day. I also believe I'm getting incrementally stoned as time progresses too. I'll check back later. Although not on poor old Grandma. She's been buried for years now. The brookies would really need to be bloody powerful to change that.

90 mins in

Space. The final frontier. Nah - that's where I thought I might be headed but while there's no doubt proof of residual unused and perfectly decarbed THC in my vaped weed, it's not put me in a crazy place where I'm pacing back and forth in my garden only stopping to sigh.

My house really smells of weed. I'm used to making RSO edibles and vaping in the house but this process has really made my whole house smell like a cannabis factory. I'm definitely quite stoned too. It's a dopey hit. Clumsy and heady too. I need tea.

However I'm also eating the other one. You know the drill. Give me an hour and I'll be back. Unlike poor old Grandma. Perhaps she wouldn't be so proud of me picking on her for this topic. I don't usually find this subject so funny so there's undeniable happiness in this cost-cutting and money saving exercise to maximise your vaped weed into edibles. This is probably how she felt about saving lard from the Sunday roast.

Few Hours Later

I got a bit sidetracked. I had a few absolutely massive headrushes and was a bit stoned as I pottered around some basic tasks. Overall the vaped weed has done well. It's not as strong nor as long lasting as my favoured RSO but as a little bonus from existing vaped weed I'd say this was a winner. The buzz isn't as clean either and the best way I can describe it is as clumsier with unexpected headrushes.

It Works

So it works. I guess if you vape your weed til its charred then it probably won't. But for me, there's clearly enough goodness left in my vaped weed for a little bonus. Does anyone do this routinely?

Thanks

Thanks for reading my topic. I hope it was informative and if not I hope it was entertaining at least. Let me know if you've tried or will try the vaped weed cookies.

Loving The Pink

I'm loving the Pink Runtz I have at the moment but I can't quite place the flavour. As I'm an old pothead, usually when I smoke a particular strain, I can taste the component parts. These strains have grown up with me so I've usually been through the component flavours over the years. Basically, most new strains - I used to know their Granddads.

I'm rarely surprised if I Google the strain lineage as it usually confirms what my taste buds already suspected. As I'm sure we are all aware, I particularly like doing these write ups by following that exact flavour journey.

Runtz Got Me

This Runtz has bamboozled me, although it's given me the chance to use the word bamboozle in a sentence. Twice now in fact. I might add it into the title for the hat trick. From your perspective this has probably already happened and was in fact amongst the first words that you read but I usually write the title last as I don't know what I've said until the end. I'm pretty excited with this opportunity to use a fancy word. I'm running with it. Where was I...

Order and Delivery

The Pink Runtz in question is from The Wizard Of Oz. It really must be noted how bloody quick these guys work. Comms, stealth, speed, delivery - these guys have one of the slickest operations on LB. This is $120 on the half oz with free postage, although I ordered a mix n match deal. But that's a great price for this quality.

I ordered about 10pm. Order was marked as processed and sent later that night. Arrived, not the next day (obviously as it'd only be picked up by postie then) but the day after. Every order I've had from Twoz has been incredibly fast so I'd just like to flag the solid service. That must take effort and it is appreciated.

Back to the Runtz

It's a really lovely smoke with a flavour that I'm really enjoying and it tastes very familiar but I can't quite place it. I shall however try to explain.

The Runtz has a main flavour layer that's exactly what you expect. It's a sweetshop strain and has many of the generic traits you'd expect of this type of weed. But it's got another layer of deliciousness and it's this that I'm struggling to identify.

Genetics

The internet says it's likely a cross between Zkittles and Gelato as Pink Runtz is simply a pheno of Runtz that turned out a wee bit pinker. There's other suggestions that Pink Panties was included in the mix. But it's of course impossible to know which seeds the grower got and what the real genes I'm experiencing are.

However there's certainly a flavour layer that easily agrees with the Z x G cross. A sweetshop and ice cream flavour mixed together would explain the main layer. Plus there's something else. And it's the something else that I'm struggling to place so easily.

Grinding

In the grinder I'd guess at a sherbet or slurricane from the smell. It's a sickly sweet underlying scent I feel I know. Except it's not either of those. The sunset sherbet does have Pink Panties in the lineage though so perhaps this variant includes those genes and that's the simple answer to the mystery. But I'm not sure by any means.

Smoking

It's got a particular sort of thick and smooth sweet vanilla musk under the sweetshop flavour which gives a super satisfying inhale. Blue Nerds when grown well has a similar duality where it's blue tasting but it carries a backnote with a little silvery musk which delivers a wide ranging taste mixture. This is like that blend but with all the flavour parts replaced with sweetshop flavouring.

Unique Taste

Perhaps this Pink Runtz has the rare quality of actually being a unique taste marker that I'll refer to in future. I've had other Runtz strains which tended to tick the more expected sweetshop flavour box of a Zkittles or Gelato descendant but that weren't the full wide band of flavouring that Pinkie here is delivering.

Stone

It's an easily delivered stone that ultimately does get you blazed but leaves you still capable of achieving basic human tasks. Basically a nice balanced feeling where there's enough head stone to be thoughtful but not enough to be panicky and there's enough body buzz to be chilled without feeling like someone has nailed your feet to the floor.

And it's all gently delivered as you smoke so you don't have a sudden bang of a stone like with some of my favoured strains that are like being shot by a thc shotgun ten minutes after you stub.

What Are Your Thoughts?

Have you had the Pink Runtz? How was your bit? I'd be curious to know.

Thanks for Reading

As always thanks for taking time out of your day to read through my rambling. I hope it was informative and if not I hope it was entertaining in some way.

I appreciate the votes and comments if you like this type of content. Let me know your thoughts on Pinkie. I have a Rainbow Zkittles currently too so I might write that up later.

Thanks people.

I thought about making the whole topic rhyme like the title but luckily it was just a phase. Now, a point I'd like to raise, about LazyDaze, is the parcel was wrapped up in many ways, so opening it felt like navigating a maze. At least the postman couldn't smell haze. Fine, I'll stop (and end this craze). Before you begin to feel unneeded malaise. Let's get onto the Super Silver Haze as it's what we're all actually here to appraise.

Phew. Glad That's Over. We Probably All Are.

Stealth was really good. It's best never to detail this in reviews but the maze part above is a fair description - you can trust me on that - people have cracked safes more easily - but yes rhyming was not needed. I got carried away because I was excited.

The vendor is super friendly and replies to comms. It's a small operation with a few delicious looking strains on offer and both a high rating and a seemingly elite following of well known faces on LB.

A Haze I Like

Although I'm mostly haze averse there are a few that tick my boxes and super silver haze is on that very short list.

A Classic

Much like with pop music, you can never tell at the time which strains will go on to be the classics in years to come. Super Silver Haze, I guess, is like the Rick Astley of strains in that respect as it seems we're never gonna give it up. I wonder which current strain will be the Taylor Swift equivalent that we can't shake off in the year 2055? Probably gelato.

Grinding

In the grinder it reminds me of silver bubble as I think the northern lights genes immediately shine through. It's also got a clear citrus smell in there.

Smoking

Lighting up it's definitely an old school flavour with a very clean, slightly musky backnote that edges toward a lemon. In some ways it's not actually the full musk silver flavour I have been looking for and in another way it's cleaner and probably much nicer.

Head High

The haze buzz is there but it's nice and clean without the dizzying cerebral head trauma that some hazes deliver. It's pleasantly strong and leads to a little face sweat. It is a head high but not an unbalanced one. I feel thoughtful but not panicking because I need to pop to the supermarket. Although I'm still stoned enough to forget the main thing I went in for and buy munchies instead.

Overall

So overall, while it's not the exact flavour that I was looking for, it is absolutely lovely to smoke and probably a better example of the strain than the one I would like to find.

The Silver I Seek

There was a silver / super silver haze sold round here years ago with a deep musky backnote that I found irresistible. It's that musk that I usually describe as the silver taste. It's not unlike the lynx musk deodorant of the 90s - although don't try smoking that. Does this sound familiar to some of you old school pot heads out there? Let me know.

Silver Lining

This variant has a hint of that musk but the taste is much fresher, more like a citrusy northern lights. I don't want to say lemon as it's not a lemon haze and I don't want you to dismiss it as such but it's that end of citrus in flavour note.

It's not dissimilar to silver bubble in many ways. The silver lining is there, often on the exhale, but not as pronounced as the old strain I'd like to rediscover - which may be more typical of a silver instead of a super silver. The terms were largely interchangable locally so it's hard to know which strain I was really getting.

Lovely Haze

It is however a fantastic example of an old school haze, grown and cured perfectly, that delivers a nicely balanced flavour and high and is a joy to smoke. It had an unfortunate poetic side effect but if you don't mind a few desperately crowbarred rhymes you'll be good with this.

Thanks

A special thanks to anyone who made it this far and forgave the early rhyming section. Love you guys. I appreciate you staying with me. I hope that it was informative and if not I hope it was entertaining in some way. Let me know if you remember the musk I described.

The past is the future:

Yes. I've gone down another nostalgic rabbit hole. Twoz had some of the White Widow and since I'd not seen it for years I simply couldn't resist.

When I were a lad...

I remember White Widow was the top of all the menus in Amsterdam on my third trip out there. That'd be around 1994 / 1995. Back then each visit would introduce me to a new cutting edge strain that we could only dream about in the UK. I can remember looking in wonder at the glistening white crystal coating on the Widow and seeing how it'd earned its name.

Genetics:

White Widow was created from two very old strains so we're diving into some of the original source code of cannabis genetics. This is a cross between a Brazilian Sativa (landrace) x South Indian Indica from over thirty years ago originally.

Purchase & Delivery

I grabbed a two strain deal from The Wizard of Oz here and bagged an extra gram on both quarters with the extended bank holiday offer. The other bit was the Blue Diesel which I've not tried yet but it smells fantastic.

It's also worth noting the speed at which Twoz operate at. Weed was delivered within 24 hours again. I imagine they put some effort in to be as quick as they are so it's worth flagging up the excellent service - not least as there's many folk on LB who find themselves with a level of unplanned urgency and love a speedy parcel.

Out the bag:

First of all it's been grown nicely but it is scrappier than the furry pebbles we're used to seeing from modern gelato style crosses with their large dense nugs. This is not necessarily a bad thing and some of the best tasting buds I've had have been a wee bit scrappy.

It's also a little sticky but grinds into a lovely fluffy texture ready for sprinkling and doesn't glue the grinder together. It's not damp, it's sticky and resinous.

How's it smell?

It smells amazing. It's like a very heady alcoholic fuel that hints towards diesel but with a less deeply sour / sweetshop undertone - although there is a old fruit note. Maybe like a gassy northern lights would be. It's a bit harder to describe than when I usually write these as it's not leaning on relatable ancestry that I can easily pick out. It smells like White Widow!

What's the taste like?

Upon lighting it up, a puff of the widowy goodness takes me back to the past faster than Doctor Who could. The flavour is less overstated than the smell but is joyously old school in taste and brings back memories. It's like a lightly sweet skunky taste.

I don't drink coffee anymore but I'm craving that mixed cappuccino (pre-latte era) and cannabis smell wafting into the streets from those early coffee shops in Dam.

The weed burns lovely and smokes nice and thick with smooth resiny clouds. I like it.

How strong is it?

The stone is moderate to begin with but with a hefty follow up oomph a short while later as the buzz kicks in. It's not a full sofa zombie and has a more energetic but cerebrally spacy high. Although thankfully it is more balanced than a crazy haze. So while it's old, it's no weakling and holds its own against newer varieties.

Verdict

I'm glad I bought it and I'm enjoying smoking it. It's unlike modern strains so its a bit of a the change from the norm. Arguably it doesn't quite stand up to the amount of rich flavour breeders have squeezed from modern weed but it's got a lovely old school taste and it's not completely outclassed by its younger relatives at all.

If you remember it from back in the day there's a good chance you'll like it again now.

If you don't remember it from back in the day here's a chance to experience something different that's not crossed with gelato. It'll probably be a whole new experience.

Thanks

As always thanks for reading my topic. I hope it's been informative and if not I hope it's been entertaining in some way at least.

Let me know in the comments if you've had the White Widow and what old school strains you would love to see available on LB?
