I could swear its indica or hybrid and even bet on it, but I would lose. Its the strangest, most surprising and unusual sativa I ever tried. Man, Im in love! The high is so unpredictable, real rollercoaster. I give it five stars.
Jesus, are there stickier buds than these? I dont think so! Made a mess and still had a difficult time to break it. Other than that, very happy with this strain. The odor might be a little bit strong for some but hey… you shouldve guessed it.
Nope, not a big fan, too strong and smelly for me.
LOVE and respect for HC
Yoube got to be kidding me!!!
I actually like the fragrance, but I like strong things in general.
good pot with funny name
Im often depressed and this one kicks my ass and brings me back.
Its perfect for ride or die puffers! Rock on!
