I love the terpene profile and the mixture of pungent herbs and soothing lavender
Why doesnt anyone talk about taste ??? very spicy, but plum aftertaste ... love it !!
This Mary Jane relieved my chronic fatigue well and I was able to do my daily tasks. Good weed but can be very potent so I take the lowest doses and use my bong. I want to try switching to edible ones because the high lasts longer.
Does anyone know how to grow this herb? Does it have any features? Maybe the plant is demanding? Id really like to try growing marijuana. I liked Durban Kush too much, it suits me so much that I can’t just let it go
finally I found suitable option that doesnt let me fall asleep in working day
if you are a newbie then DO NOT even TRY this marijuana. It is too strong and leaves an unpleasant residue. Besides being talkative, I started to giggle too much ugh. After a couple of hours, I turned on a horror movie and everything got much worse and st
I’m an experienced smoker, this mj doesnt suit me, and the taste is too pungent
