Hey fellow potheads!
I'm going to do a little thing on here which will amount to a Reader's Digest condensed version of a smoke report on stuff I buy at the Canadian government pot shops. I haven't looked around to see if anyone else is doing it - surely somebody has got to be doing that on here by now - but anyways, I smoke enough of it to give my opinion on a wide variety of it. Very rarely have I been disappointed with what I buy there so I could offer ideas WRT something to look for. THIS IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT, PAID OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY WEED I CONSUME OR FOR ANY ITEM I USE, just my own humble opinion of stuff I like.
I'm a regular customer of Cannabis NB, in Sussex, New Brunswick, Canada, and have been since Canada's laws changed. The staff there are all very friendly and knowledgeable in their duties, and they get to know your personal preferences to the point where they know what to recommend to you when they get something new in. At first, the prices were still high so a lot of the weed I smoked was still black market. When they went in the hole because of the "competition" the government lowered the prices. As well, the inventory is diverse with Cannabis products and other supplies. All in all, a real nice place to make your purchases...
I'm smoking some nice stuff today called Royal Highness by Good Supply, a hybrid. It's 20% THC and 0.07% CBD. It's been giving me wicked headrushes (reset buttons for the brain) since I started smoking it two hours ago. A very nice high, more noticeable than most stuff I smoke. Give me a few minutes for a joint and I'll see if I can describe it...
(Time Span: 1 joint)
The first thing I noticed when rolling it was that although it was dry enough to break up with my fingers, it didn't go to dust like some that I've crushed up. It's a very pale green bud that's light and fluffy and stays that way when it's rolled. Looking at it under a 40x illuminated hand lens (a review of that will be coming as well), the buds are densely covered with trichomes that are all an even amber colour. A very beautiful sight indeed, as can be seen in this picture:
Hey, I just noticed... that bud looks like South America.
I'm impressed with the sweet fruity taste for sure. It's actually better than most of the stuff I've been buying from there lately. It's a very mild smoke that doesn't leave me coughing, also like some others that I've gotten. Hang on, let me try another one...
Yeah, it's hard to spell here with killer headrushes interrupting me left and right. But yeah, what I'm checking here as I one-handedly type while blacking out is for any residual taste of chlorophyll. There doesn't appear to be any significant amount, certainly not enough to lessen the pleasure my smoking experience. No residual chemical taste of any nutrients or other additives (I tried some once that tasted terrible - don't know if it was anything like that, but I do also smoke it for the taste.
As for after-effects, I can say that I'd probably decline if someone asked me to operate a tractor right about now. I'd probably decline if someone asked me to go to the fridge. I'd probably go to the fridge for myself though. Yeah, definitely myself, but otherwise I'm good here on the couch. As for effects on my ADHD, I can't see it helping with my focusing. This is not one of my hyperactive days so but the way I feel I can make a nice guess and say that if it was, it would probably calm me down.
While on this I am not just sitting here fidgeting, which is mostly how the hyperactivity manifests itself with me. I'm 57 now, diagnosed with ADHD last year and although I'm on Concerta, a time-release form of Ritalin, it only lasts me for seven hours. Now the hyperactivity in the name in fact means hyperactivity in the brain. Physical h.a. is a direct result of that, and with arthritis on top of all this crap the physical part is not highly expressed. That and I'm predominantly attention-deficit anyway; that's probably a factor somewhere in there too. But I digress...
Yeah, what I was getting at is that due to the slowing down of my thoughts, I can concentrate on things. Normally I'm fidgeting until I compulsively roll a spliff so I can have something to do. On some days I have to do this even while my meds are kicked in, but certainly not today.
OK, I can see that this may be a bit of therapeutic writing for me too. As well as ADHD, I have depression/anxiety and a bit of PTSD to contend with and this journal will help me, and with luck, others too. So as I say when telling people about psychological disorders...
