Orange Fetish

It's no secret that I have a wee thing for orange flavours and also for Green Cat. So when GC added a Mimosa Punch to the menu I was all over it. What a perfect combination of vendor and product. I'll probably be smoking it all month now as I bought extra.

So what's it like?

Mmmmm... It's bloody lovely and orange that's what it's like. It's got a very old school orange flavour. There's hints of other vintage strains in the smell. It's almost a bit northern lights, a hint of skunk, but mostly it's a lovely deep citrus orange.

Stamp of Approval

It gets my orange stamp of approval. It smokes lovely and is definitely very pleasantly orange. The main stone is nicely delayed and kicks in late. It's not a massively heavy hitter but it's getting me pretty stoned so I imagine it'll work out for many other LB folks. I've just hammered two fatties on the bounce and have a little face sweat and will be super happy to eat dinner soon.

Genetics

Mimosa Punch is a cross of Mimosa and Orange Punch. Basically it's double orange and I suppose double punch too as Mimosa has purple punch parentage. Both strains have a link back the original old orange bud. It's the perfect orange storm.

I Reckon You'll Like It

In short, if you like a bit of orange then jump on the GC train and get yourself some Mimosa Punch. I'm pretty sure you'll like it. Orange fans may also like the Forbidden Fruit too which I have bought too but I've not smoked yet as I'm Mimosaring my way through the evening.

Thanks for Reading

As always thanks for reading, I hope it was informative and if not I hope it was entertaining in some way. Are you an orange fan too? Get involved in the comments section and let me know.

Welcome to Star Wars Day. For the uninitiated it is like 420 for geeks and there's no better year to start as it's a bank holiday tomorrow. It was only a year ago I realised other stoners actually celebrate star wars day. I went to the shop to buy a couple of packs of ocb's and the fella asked me what was going on as he'd already sold two boxes that morning. Then I realised that a load of us plan to blast off into space for the day.

- How to Celebrate Star Wars Day

Get stoned and watch Star Wars. It's really pretty simple. It's the sort of multitasking I'm sure we can all handle. There's now a massive amount of viewing options available as there's various films, series and cartoons to choose from.

Basically there's a Star Wars suitable for virtually everyone. To help us celebrate they're dropping Tales of the Underworld today as six brand new short animated episodes focusing on some of the bad guys which might be pretty fun to watch as a starter.

Some local cinemas will show the movies depending upon how cool and trendy an area you live in and LB has a range of edibles and mushrooms that'd make it a cinema trip to remember. The core point is to get fully hyper spaced and absorb Star Wars content. I don't think Disney particularly push this angle but I'm pretty sure it is correct route to take.

- Believe in Your Dreams

The extended star wars world really is a testament to just how fully you can realise your creative dreams if you believe in them enough.

The first film very nearly didn't make it all the way through production. Even many people involved in the film had little hope of it doing well. George clung to what he could to get it across the line and in to the cinemas.

And here we are, almost fifty years later, and we're not only still celebrating the film series but the story is still growing. Admittedly not always quite as brilliantly as the original concept set up but growing nonetheless. New generations will grow up loving Star Wars just as much as I do. The story will likely outlive me and I find that oddly comforting.

- I've Got Some Good Bits In

I've got a few bits stashed including some crumble wax extracts from Dr D and the last of the Piatella I had from THC plus I have just picked up a couple of lovely looking new strains for the day.

- Jungle Juice from The Wizard of Oz 420

https://littlebiggy.net/link/L86xh4

First up we have the jungle juice from Twoz. I ordered some of their RSO too but to be honest it was only as Dr D had sold out. However it's really a decent grade for using in my cookies. The syringe comes in a extra little protective tube so it's in perfect condition and the strength is very floaty, clean and wide ranging. Actually it's really strong stuff. I really like edibles with RSO as it tends to completely nail me and this did not let me down. Anyway, on with the jungle juice.

- Is It Orangy?

The jungle juice appealed to me as it's Animal Cookies crossed with Tangie. The Tangie has a direct link to my favoured Orange Bud. Opening the bag definitely promises some orangeness is on the way. Smoking it however doesn't deliver the full dank orange flavour like a Mimosa would but it's fresh and citrusy with the delayed stone that creeps up and batters you that's typical of orange strains. Tastewise it probably leans towards a citrusy cookies flavour although a cookies fan may tell you the opposite. It's a lovely smoke in it's own right though and I wouldn't want my orange fetish to put you off ordering it.

- Half Breed Strains

I guess this is often the case with many crosses. You assume it's a 2 for 1 flavour bomb whereas it's a 50/50 flavour mix. You get half of each. The Jungle Juice is a really nice balanced smoke, lovely flavour and a hard hitter, but it's just not as tremendously orange as my expectations were. At least my reputation for supporting new orange related strains is fully in tact.

- Twoz's Vendoring

Twoz seem like a solid vendor to me and must be one of the fastest vendors on LB. I've ordered twice now and the service has been great, fast and the weed very decent for the price. Both times it's reached me inside of 24 hours so they're a good bet if you're in a hurry.

- RS11 from Green Cat

https://littlebiggy.net/link/77Qg9B

The next strain I couldn't resist was the RS11 from GC. I also ordered a few cheapies as they've had some unreal cheap bits of late plus more of the American LA Mousse. That's a lovely daytime fresh tasting hash. I'm really liking smoking it. Easy to roll with and clean to smoke. The Italian Ice is my favourite variation although with some orange in its genetics that's no surprise. It's also no secret that GC are my favourite vendor on LB. I can't recommend them highly enough.

They've just dropped all sorts onto the menu including Mimosa Punch, Forbidden Fruit and Blue Nerds plus lots of other bargains. So it's a great time to dive in and buy one of everything much as I intend to later today. I really ordered at the exact wrong time in all honesty.

- Back to the RS11

I've had RS11 a few times from other sellers. When it's done well the flavour is incredible. It seems to taste like one of everything from the sweetshop. Will this one go all the way up to 11?

Oh yes. First few puffs and I'm immediately unable to place the flavour as it's every flavour. It produces sweet, rich, thick smoke that is a new flavour every puff. It's sweet, it's sour, it's blue, it's musky, it's citrusy. It's like the mambo number five for flavour sensations. The stone doesn't hit you with the powerhouse thump of some strains but it is no weakling. It's more of a gentle hit where you don't fully realise the stone until it's crept up and is sweating from your brow.

I can definitely recommend the RS11. I've just rolled a second one. First puff like blueberries, second puff a sour candy, third puff cherries. It's a great example of the strain but in all honesty GC have so many nice options right now that you'll struggle to choose.

- I've Let Myself Down

I've missed an obvious trick by not ordering any Skywalker OG. It's a favourite strain of mine and I often get it. This would have been the perfect moment to order that and a bunch of other space related strains too like the cosmic gelato and starburst. Man, don't you hate hindsight. I did not think this event through thoroughly. Let's make a plan for next year. Space strains and Star Wars - who's in?

- Happy Star Wars Day

May the Fourth Be With You - Always. Well, not always. Once per year is fair. You can still get stoned and watch Star Wars on other days though. It's not only allowed it's fully recommended.

- Thanks

As always thanks for reading my topic. I hope it's been informative and if not I hope it's been entertaining. I also hope I've encouraged some of you to join me in space today. I wouldn't want to 'force' anybody though.

Let me know if you're joining in and how you plan to spend the day.

- I Am Only Me

Not that it really needs addressing but as the same conspiracy is flying around LB again and I'm now on the list, I'd just like to state for the record that I am only me. I am not an alt for any vendor. I am just your basic old pothead looking to get stoned and interact with the LB community.

- The Paranoia List

I've no idea why I've made the paranoia list. It gets more ridiculous every time it's posted and the list of vendors and buyers is now so long it is fast reaching the point where there would only be one person on LB who is every vendor and every buyer. How any of this is meant to make sense is beyond me. Both me and the main vendor I order from are on the list.

I guess there's some irony around the fact the paranoia king has personally had more LB accounts than any of the people on their list.

- How to Report It

If you spot this stuff on LB you can open a message to Cleanup Borg and send them the link. Just go to chats, open a new chat and type 'clean' into the to box. You'll see the option to select the Cleanup Borg. The faster this nonsense is deleted the better for everyone here. We all have our part to play keeping this community rolling along and under the radar.

- Goodbye

I hope whoever keeps wasting their time creating endless accounts to post this nonsense seeks the help they clearly need. They should probably lay off the weed too.

- Thanks

As always thanks for reading my topic.

Is this a me thing? I've had a couple of vendors tightly vacuum pack buds. I fully get the need for stealth and have been impressed by the variety of solutions to this. Probably best not to discuss that too deeply online I guess.

It seems to me that the buds don't quite recover until they've had a day in a small jar. Like, straight out the vacuum pack there's much less smell & flavour than develops over the next day or so. Like it's been suffocated and can breathe again.

Is it a known thing? Or like many things, just in my mind?

- The Best 420 / Easter - Ever?

Hello folks of LB. Hope you are all having the best 420 Easter celebration there's ever been in the history of humankind. I'd like to wish you a Happy Easter or Happy 420 depending on which your religion is.

- Hoarding Weed

I've saved a bit of everything I've bought for a while so I've got loads of different bits to pick my way through over Easter. Added to that I've got extracts, various hash, rosin and all sorts in my stash.

- Kid in a Sweetshop

Basically I'm at a point where I've been ordering more than I actually smoke just because I wanted to try various stuff and I need to use up what I have and stop being Mr Greedy. Not least as I'm skint. I wonder if these two things are connected? It seems I am not fully past the kid in a sweetshop phase of LB membership.

- Fellow Potheads

Anyway I'd like to take a moment to reflect and to say I'm glad I found LB. First off, aside from a few nutters, you're a good bunch and I appreciate the interactions with my fellow potheads here. It's a real release from trudging through the monotonous drudgery of the real world each day. I've had lots of good advice and I've learned a lot. So thanks to the strong community of supportive LB folk.

- LB is a Winner

The obvious core amazing thing on LB though is being able to get decent great value weed delivered to my door. It's a world away from the procedure I used to go through.

- Pleasure from Pain

I only discovered LB while I was injured. That's a whole other story but it wasn't so easy to get about town. I really wanted someone to deliver me some weed so I spent the sofa time searching online until I found this place.

- The LB Feeling

I'm so glad I found LB. The products and service offered here is incredible. Often I order regular retail stuff coincidentally on same day as an LB order and almost every time the LB order beats the retail order to my door by days.

- It Blows My Mind

It's the selection of products that really blows my mind though. This has led me to buy and try all sorts of new stuff leading to my current overstocked situation. Which I'm not moaning about - it's much better than not having enough. As they say: weed will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no weed.

- Selections

Being able to carefully select what I like is such a luxury compared to my old late night scramble for whatever random bits matey had picked up. Yes, there's a lack of orange strains - I believe I've mentioned this before?! But overall there's such a great choice that I (almost) forgive the lack of some basic orange options. Especially nice is being able to order the hashes, extracts, RSO and D9 which are all luxury items to accompany and enhance my regular smoking but I love having them in my stash.

- I Am Lucky

I'm glad they built LB with a community feel too as it's nice to read through the recommendation topics by other people happy to share their thoughts and help guide others towards a great product. I feel lucky to be here.

- Thanks

Anyway I'll wrap up by saying thanks for reading this to anyone who still is. It's hard to imagine it's been informative but if it has that's a win for us all and if not I hope it's been entertaining at least. Thanks people. Enjoy the bank holidays.

- Surely Star Wars Day is the Big One?

For me, my big stoner day is usually Star Wars day on May 5th. It's the perfect day for me to get fully spaced and I fully recommend the experience. This year it's a Sunday before a bank holiday. The perfect year to start.

- 420 Growing

I see that 420 has grown year on year both in scale and culture. Many vendors cite 420 in their names and people are gearing up for it here so I thought it might be fun to explore it as I don't actually know that much about it. Perhaps I could use it as a practice run for May 5th.

- 420 Origin Story

A small amount of 'research' online suggests that it started when a small group of teenagers in California (of course) during the 70s would go in search of a rumoured abandoned cannabis grow after school each day. They'd meet at 4.20pm. I suppose if digital watches had been popular earlier then we might now be calling it 16:20. Anyway 420 became their slang for the weed search and then afterwards for weed in general. I've no idea if they ever found that grow but something else grew from their slang.

- It's Not What You Know But Who

One of the group was friends with someone connected to the band The Grateful Dead. They're a fantastic band of stoners if you've not checked them out; very spangly guitars; Friend of the Devil is a brilliantly written song.

The Grateful Dead followers were referred to as Deadheads and they picked up the 420 slang for weed and spread it amongst other potheads.

It's a beautifully simple origin of something now set solidly in the calendar as a cannabis celebration.

- The First 420

The first 420 celebration was in the early 1990s in - guess where - yup - California. The 20th April has been chosen for 420 as Americans write dates the wrong way round like 4/20.

- Should We Make It British?

I suppose we should really call the British version 204 to be true to ourselves. The rapper Fifty Cent should probably also be called Thirty Seven Pence over here - or I suppose Zero Point Zero Zero Zero Zero Zero Five Eight on LB. This is why no one puts me in charge of anything. Where was I....

- So what's on offer for 420 (UK 204) on LB?

I've noted a few 420 promos launching in the last week or so hence writing this topic.

- Bargain Extracts

First up we have a bargain crumble from Ganja. $45 for 3.5g is a bargain extract. The reviews look good. It looks like a good deal to me. I've never ordered from Ganja so can't comment on them as a vendor.

https://littlebiggy.net/link/7Tfs4u

- Bargain Distillate

Taking 420 very seriously Ganja have another promo live on their distillate. This one must be one of the biggest bargains on LB as they have 10ml for just $45. That's like $4.50 per 1ml for anyone really bad at maths. That's a fantastic deal if the distillate is good and clean. Has anyone ordered this?

https://littlebiggy.net/link/AEgde9

- Bargain Trainwreck Weed

Next up we have a promo from a new vendor looking to make a mark for 420. Herb has some Trainwreck at just $25 per 3.5g. Trainwreck is an old school favourite that crops up in the genetics all sorts of lovely strains. It's a solid choice for a 420 celebration. I've not used Herb before and it's rare that I'll use newer vendors but the bargain is there should you choose it.

https://littlebiggy.net/link/DGnUR8

- Bargain Price Edibles

Following this we have a deal on some brilliantly named edibles from SilentHippoIV. Family High, a play on the popular cartoon name, are currently being sold at $45 for two packs (1200mg) plus a bonus sweet all to set us up for 420. This is another vendor I've not personally used before but the reviews look good. Always do your own due diligence though folks.

https://littlebiggy.net/link/rvuLLx

- Bargain All-in Bundle

And the final deal I've found comes from the lovely folks at Cannabis Cannibals and it's 420 bundles so you've everything you need for your stoner session in one pack. This is the only listing here that's not $45 with the bundles ranging from $80 - $360 with a mix of ready rolls, hash and edibles. Nice work CC.

https://littlebiggy.net/link/Qrmykf

- Get Involved in 420

I'm sure loads more deals will go live after I post this topic and I expect I've missed some out because I'm a lazy stoner. That being so please post links up in the comments to any 420 specific deals that you see to share them with me and the LB community.

- What Are You Doing For 420?

As always thanks for reading my topic, I hope it was informative and if not I hope it was entertaining at least. Please upvote this if you like this content and get involved in the comments as it helps to share it on LB.

Let me know what your plans are for 420 and if you'll be using these deals or buying something special. Thanks LB.

- Mousse Challenge -

When I saw that Green Cat had both the Moroccan La Mousse and the American L.A. Mousse I thought it'd be an interesting comparison to pitch them against each other and see what the differences were.

- Moroccan Roll -

La Mousse:
https://littlebiggy.net/link/3azIcS

We're going to start with the Moroccan La Mousse. This type of hash is super popular these days. I've had it a few times elsewhere and it's usually a mild hash that's very crumbly and dry.

So the first thing with the GC Moroccan La Mousse is that it's not quite like that. It's more solid and it doesn't touch crumble the way I've known La Mousse to usually. It seems oilier too.

- Internet Research -

Yes, I'm using the term 'research' very loosely but looking online there's a few different methods of creating a La Mousse as it's either dry sifted or ice water extracted before being dried and whipped into a crumbly texture. This hash has come out more solid than I've had with previous la mousse. I would be happy to learn more about this from any hash heads out there.

- Smoking La Mousse -

It's a nice hash to smoke with some thick hashy clouds forming on each puff. It's got that traditional Moroccan spiced flavour in there but is a fresher smoke than something like an old rocky. It's smooth to smoke too with no cheese grater throat going on.

As a cheeky daytime hash this is spot on. I'm glad I bought it. In a blind test I'd guess this as a commercial Moroccan hash from that expected spice note, possibly even from the smell of it burning before I even took a drag, but it's still a pretty nice hash with an easy stone that demands little from you.

- From The Land of the Free -

So the big question I had is did the Americans take this hash staple and improve it?

Los Angeles Mousse (L.A. Mousse)
https://littlebiggy.net/link/fBdJSp

I've no idea how Green Cat packed the American L.A. Mousse and got it to me in mostly one piece. Captain Kirk would genuinely have had trouble beaming it somewhere and landing it there in one piece. It is a testament to the care GC must take. It disintegrated as soon as I touched it. Touch crumble is an understatement for this hash. It's more like the consistency of yesterday's sand castle. That does make it awkward to handle but simple to use. I have the Italian Ice variant of the L.A. Mousse.

- Fresh Smelling -

When you roll with it it leaves you with slightly sticky fingers and a very fresh cannabis smell. It's not so much like the spiced piney dry hash smell of the Moroccan La Mousse and has retained more of a fresh floral profile. That doesn't follow through as much on taste as you'd hope but it is there and it's a smooth and fresh hash for sure. I'm enjoying smoking it. I'm getting nice lightly flavoured clouds of smooth fresh smoke. It's not as strong tasting as the Moroccan nor as floral as the smell first teases it might be but I'm enjoying it more I think.

- Power and Strength -

Neither of the hashes are desperately strong for me as you'd expect from a commercial grade. It is probably the Moroccan that wins on both strength and flavour but it leans more on the traditional hash spice taste and heady stone. I think because of that I'm favouring the American version as a daytime puff. There's just something very fresh and clean about smoking it that I seem to enjoy more and it eases into a gentle stone.

- How Does it Compare to a Triple Filtered Hash? -

Banana Runtz Triple Filtered Hash:
https://littlebiggy.net/link/Prui70

Let's chuck a curve ball in and compare both to a triple filter hash also from Green Cat as I happen to have some. I thought that despite it being a bit more expensive that'd it'd be a good fit for this review. I've had a few triple filtered hashes that would have been a decent comparison to the Moroccan La Mousse I have here. However, typically for Green Cat, this 3x filter hash is loads nicer than I expected it to be.

- Mmmmm... Gassy -

This has smells of gassy fresh resin and pleasantly squidges into fluffy pieces as you crumble it. The smell is one I know but I can't place it. I think it might touch on an original kush smell. It's zesty but not my favourite sort of orange. Perhaps it's the banana smell in there. It's nice and fruit-fresh though like an extract smell but not at that hyper strength level.

- Flavour -

Flavour-wise it's well ahead of either Mousse and the same goes for its strength which is an easier stone than smoking weed but still provides a solid hit. The smoke is thick and oily. This hash is much nicer and much fresher than I expected.

Much like the American L.A. Mousse there's a lack of the typical old spiced hash flavour in lieu of something much fresher but with this it's much more so.

- I Am Surprised -

I'm genuinely surprised by this hash. It's not that it's the best hash I've ever had. But it's so much nicer and fresher than any of the triple filters I've had before I'm questioning if they were even genuine. The stone from this too is a decent level and a notch above either Mousse. I actually regret introducing it into this topic and the point I thought I was going to make about it having similar flavour traits to the Moroccan La Mousse has fallen apart instantly. It doesn't in any way.

- So Which La Mousse is Best? -

If I was to buy a Mousse again, of the two here, I'd buy the American L.A.

If flavour and strength were plotted onto a graph this decision may not make sense on paper but I know that given those two I currently reach for the L.A. Maybe it's a novelty value. I expect fans of the original rocky / soap strains will like the old spice of the Moroccan and tell me how wrong I am.

- However -

Where my hash money will actually be going is on the triple filtered banana runtz as it's a really bloody nice hash and has completely surprised me. I want more of it. It costs more than the Mousse but is worth it.

- Thanks -

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars" (Oscar Wilde)

Something I find oddly reassuring is looking at the items wall. Perhaps it's like gazing up at the stars. Staring into endless infinity of space peppered with the light from stars that spent millions of years travelling before meeting our eyes. It tightly frames our little place in the universe in a reassuringly small but optimistic way.

Looking at the thousand plus products on the LB items wall reassures me similarly that I'm just a tiny part of a massive overall picture and as a result of the scale of it all, I'm unlikely to run out of weed or hash. It's where I find an element of peace of mind in my life. My LB zen.

- Wall Stalker -

I'm often browsing the wall, wondering if certain products or strains are available. I routinely check for orange strains of course and I'm routinely disappointed by the (lack of) results but this isn't yet another orange rant so I won't jump down that rabbit hole.

I also like to check for certain oldies like White Widow or Durban Poison or just cruise around seeing what's what.

I've watched with keen interest as a very small number of products seem to hold the top spot as I routinely hit the items wall.

- First Up -

When I joined it was the static hash listing by Real D in our consistent top spot. I've not had this hash yet but nearly bought it a couple of times when they had an offer on. Real D are a solid vendor although I've not ordered there for ages. The hash flavours have changed slightly but I remember the Blue Dream being available and I've always fancied it even when the orange variants are on offer.

https://littlebiggy.net/link/JX9Q0Q

- Another Winner -

I can't remember what exactly replaced Real D but I remember for some time The Spacemen held the top spot with their bargain listing. I've seen all sorts of lovely looking bargain bits fly through that post over time. But again I've not ordered from their top listing although The Spacemen also provide a great service with loads of great quality bits.

https://littlebiggy.net/link/P9pt1M

- Most Recent Top Spot -

It seems there is another consistent winner recently as it's been all about Don Loco and their Top Shelf listing taking the top spot on LB. And once again I can't comment as I've not only not ordered this number one wall product, I've never ordered anything from Don Loco. Although they seem a good sort by reputation and often have bits in that I quite fancy.

https://littlebiggy.net/link/OUvkd2

- Conclusions -

I'm not sure what conclusions to draw from this but it's kind of odd that I've not ordered any top spot product. It's also interesting that they're all multi variant listings that remain in place with just the product details changing. Perhaps the algorithm here loves a long term listing over a freshie. And perhaps we buyers do too as I assume there's some logic to how it all works.

- Top of The Buds -

Have you had any of the top product listings? Do you see the wall like a 'Top of the Buds' kind of pop chart?

Can we get someone to smoke through the top 40 products on a Sunday evening?

Man that's an entertaining show waiting to happen. I'd like to see someone reviewing Don Locos top shelf after 17 other types of bud, 12 different hashes, 7 vape pens and 3 lots of edibles. That's a weekly show we'd all be down with surely.

Cannabis curation is something that interests me greatly since joining LB. Maybe the top ten is more realistic to do?
