Source: Root Organic MMC, Boulder, Colorado

Grade: A+

Type: Indica Dominant Hybrid (60% Indica, 40% Sativa)

Looks: bright lime-glowing, crystal-coated, tasty tropical loveliness. Completely covered with rust red and golden yellow pistils. These buds were grown, handled, and cured to perfection. This was a “vegan” herb, grown using a completely animal product-free process from start to finish. That’s a bold statement, but after all, this is Boulder! I had to get that in! All jokes aside, these are some of the most beautiful buds I’ve seen so far in Colorado, so I’m guessing the vegan situation goes over well with the plants. 10/10

Smell: Sweet tropical fruits, I kid you not! This was my first impression upon opening the jar, followed by just a little tart spice that nicely completed this exotic package. I think overall this medicine smells very sweet and fresh, a bit like a fresh-cut honeydew melon mixed with green bananas. The smell is very definite, but it is not something that invades the whole room; there is no muskiness or skunkiness at all. 9/10

Taste: This is where the bananas really shine through. It comes on just as smooth and sweet as you can be, just delicious! Whether by the power of suggestion or not, I totally taste fresh bananas mixed with honeydew melon, and this stays in the mouth for a while after an inhale. I think the type of growing used here has me sold. The smoking experience (I used a small hand-blown glass piece) is smooth and pleasant, with no expansion to speak of and no coughing at all. 10/10

Effects: Numbing and muscle relaxing start at the top of the head and quickly move down the body, accompanied by mass euphoria! This is an amazing hybrid as it stopped all pain very quickly, but as it passed over my eyes, everything seemed to brighten up a notch or two, and colors became very vibrant and inviting. My whole body and mind were completely relaxed, but my energy and consciousness completely expanded exponentially for several hours. This is the kind of herb that makes you want to explore the reef and swim with the dolphins and end up chilling on the beach with a pina colada in one hand and another spliff in the other, mon! I’m not sure what indica genetics were used in this strain, but you can sure feel the OG end of it as this medicine is very strong, even though it is very euphoric and pleasant and a delight to smoke. 10/10

Potency: very strong 3-4 hrs. It’s hard to tell because it smells and tastes so good that it is impossible to resist the urge to smoke more and more. I haven’t found the ceiling yet; you just seem to get more euphoric and relaxed the more you smoke! This is my new favorite kush. Also, this herb goes well with lots of good ol’ reggae, like Bob and Peter Tosh and what not. 10\10
