User Reviews 7
okay, what the f*ck is all the noise about. The taste and smell is not one bit spectacular neither is the effect. The potency is at best average. I would not list it as part of my night time options. I have had mjs that hits harder and helps me sleep better
I feel extremely relaxed witrh a clear mind that becomes very open and creative. What I like the most is the fact that my body can still fuction irrespective of the high.
Sweet fruity taste and an underlying skunky aftertaste. It brings happiness and a high euphoric feeling.
Muscle spasm is an embarassing condition but this pot calms my muscles and relaxes my nerves.
Above-average potency with beautiful dense minty green leaves
Strong earthly aroma
Makes me the laziest in the room
