People have always told me Im crazy to like the smell of diesel. But man I love it. Imagine my excitement when I found some MJ that smelled just like diesel, with the added goodness of candy… I feel like a kid again
Pain management has always been tricky for me. Ive tried very strong strains and could not get over how lazy I felt. The pain was gone but so was my motivation. In the right quantaties this weed will ease your pain but you will still be able to function properly.
22% THC is the perfect amount for me. I have been smoking for a while and will never say no to a new blunt. I have found this cannabis to be very helpful with afternoon slumps. Your body will relax but your mind will be alive.
All I have to say is that this dope is dope!
There is no better way to ease your muscles than the red diesel way
Really helped with my glaucoma. I could feel the pressure melting away
It’s a hard no from me
only good times here
