Strain Name: Medicine Woman
From: River Valley Collective
When: Feb. 2011
Grade: B
Type: Hybrid
Price: $95/quarter oz
Looks: Pale green buds with burnt orange hairs and so much frost, the nugs have a silver cast to them
Smell: Kind of a funky smell
Taste: Earthy and harsh — harshness of the smoke caused hacking almost every hit
Buzz Type: Heavily sedating
Buzz Length: 1.5 hours +/-
Best Medicinal Use: Appetite enhancement, insomnia, stress, & pain relief
Overall: This batch could have used a bit more trimming, in my opinion, but the grower insisted it would have removed too much of the trichs. If you can get past the hacking Medicine Woman caused, the buzz is all encompassing. The name is also rather appropriate, as this is some serious medicine that needs to be metered — even for experienced patients. In retrospect, it's probably a good thing this strain caused hacking, or I'd easily over medicate and end up sleeping on the couch If it weren't for the leafy appearance, harsh taste, and subsequent hacking, Medicine Woman would have easily earned an "A" based on the strength of the buzz alone. Took care of general aches in my shoulders and knees, and just relaxed my mind and body. Also made me REALLY hungry!
