Super Silver Haze - 80/20

This fine specimen is light lime green with wavy red fibers and plenty of sparkly trichomes to please the eyes. It's odor strikes my olfactory senses as a strange bold brew of coffee with lemon skin shavings. It's very distinct, but not overly pungent. Being that it is 80/20, this is mostly a cerebral strain, but it still has enough indica to kill off any strong inflammation. A strong tooth ache that persisted in putting me in a mood for most of the day, was relieved within 30 minutes from this super blend.

The taste of this one is quite different from it's scent, hitting the chalk centers of the taste buds, giving off that "baby powder" taste, which would be my only gripe about it. This strain brings you to a Level 3 1/2 on the level leaf, which is a little past laughing at everything, but not quite to the epiphany level. That lasts a little while, but then fades into a level 4 pretty smoothly, leaving you there for a few pleasant hours of productive creativity.

This strain would definitely be a great medicine for those with anxiety, IBS/IBD, inflammation, light muscle pains and stress issues. Though I would warn that it heightens any ADHD behavior patterns at first, so if you're prone to that, as I am, then make sure you are responsibility free for a few hours.

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.
