Jesus 70/30 - Jesus Saves!

"Jesus Saves!" is a common humorous comment that seems to flow our of your mouth once this strain hits your bloodstream. The intoxicating effects swirl into you at a nice speed, not to quickly, but it's definitely no creeper. It definitely brings you to a Level 3 within an easy eight minutes, and then slides you into a Level 4 for a few hours. What I enjoyed more, was that when it wears off, it doesn't leave you at a Level 7. Instead, it just kind of fades away, bringing you back to the Stem of Sobriety.

I think one of the most interesting things about this strain, is how it got it's name. Apparently, it was bred to be used as a coping agent for those with severe depression. The guy that it was made for, was at such a deep emotional level, he was having a hard time contemplating why he even wanted to live at all. The day that the farmer managed to perfect this strain, the depressed man gave it a try and within an hour he was lively, alert and for the first time in a long time, he was HAPPY.

And, whether you follow an abrahamic path or not, I'm sure you can see the irony in the name of a strain of cannabis that saves people from depression. And NO, it does not taste like a moldy 3,000 year old shroud, lol. In fact, it's rather fruity, with a hint of mint and pine on the finish. Bonus: Jesus is conservative, so you're probably only going to notice a light Level 3 on the Munchie Meter.

I would recommend Jesus in a joint or a bong chilled with ice.

Head Band 2 - 60/40

Being moderately heavy in Indica, this blend is well suited for those looking for some ease into dream land at night. It has a very floral bouquet with a touch of pine to it, and it almost leaves a bitter-lime taste in the nose. The coloration varies from dark to off white, with a decent array of trichomes cover the leafier areas.

Interestingly enough, the pine scent does not carry onto the tastebuds, but instead you're quickly made aware of a strong coffee and fruit taste, with a spring rosebud finish as it leaves the throat. This blend is another 60/40, though IMO it is definitely heavier on the indica then most of this percentage. The intoxication level peaks at a Level 5 and quickly fades into a Level 6. It's a good blend for an evening night cap, especially for patients with muscle aches and pains, who need something to relax and gently seduce them into bed.
