I don't really know.I haven't had Sour Diesel yet, so it may be a similar buzz, from the way I've heard it described. In fact, I've often wondered if the unknown genetics are close to SD.
Anyway, most strains have a sedative effect once the rush wears off. I get the euphoric high which lasts 15-20 minutes before it fades, and then the underlying stone will last a couple hours. That underlying stone is different in Carnival and similar strains. Usually I'll feel tired and unmotivated.
But with Carnival, after an hour or so I feel like moving around and doing something. I still feel stoned but not inactive. Instead of vegging at the puter I feel like walking the dog or taking care of some chore. I'm more eager to engage with the world and find out what it may have to offer. I don't know if it showed at the beach but I'm a fidgety guy.When I'm sitting relaxed, I'll bounce my knee or foot, my arms are quick to gesture, etc. I noticed that at 2:00 in the morning, after constantly "sipping" a few hits every 20 minutes all evening, my foot will still be bouncing, and I don't feel fatigued. I'm tired and ready to sleep but I'm not stoned out.
That's always been the fly in the ointment for me (and many others) with cannabis use. I feel better stoned, but I don't feel like doing much, right? So Carnival puts me in my right mind and doesn't isolate me as a loadie. And because I know that, I can get high with ... freedom? I know I won't have to fight fatigue. That makes the rush even better, y'know?
Africans and SE Asian strain have a similar energy to them but they're also disorienting - the "trippy" buzz. The GT x Oldtimers was very energetic but it felt like it drained my mental energy - "thinned" me out - twirly eyed - kinda "twitchy". It makes me feel like I'm constantly overlooking stuff - harder to keep my mental bearings. It's more challenging than soothing. Carnival has enough of something to it to keep the high "kind". That's a word that resonates with me - some strains are kinder than others. The Brazilians are like that, along with a lot of the Colombian/Mexican/Thai crosses. You get the energy from the Thai and Lumbo, and the Mexican moderates it enough to be kind.
See, I'm into the rush.
It feels like there's an undesirable cannabinoid missing from Carnival, or some extra something that feels kind. Amy has been wondering about CBG. And Carnival also has the terp profile that I prefer - light sweet lime/berry with a fuel backnote, so that might be part of it.
I have a Raspberry Diesel (Cherry Afghan x Sour Diesel) in bloom, so I'll finally have a chance to see how SDs compare.

. I had to call the lab because the initial report said .24%. I called them and told them it was tested at their lab over a year ago and the terps were 2.01 and I only retested it because I felt the terps were the strongest they had ever been. They retested right away and updated the result. I was shocked when I saw the .24%. The lowest terps I remember having on any strain was .77% and that was because their machine was down for 2 weeks and the sample sat out until it was tested. Anything over 1% is considered excellent.
