Comments:

Quadruple?! Yep.

This batch came once again from British Columbia, Canada. Making way to me in a sealed jar, I wasn’t taken immediately by the smell, but the this inbred genetic thug made me look more than twice… Slight (but fairly dark) bits of purple creep through the deep greens and oranges, the whole sample was made up of good sized (≈2g) buds, and was expertly trimmed. Once cracking open a nugget I was pleasantly surprised at the familiar “kush kick” and some very heavy skunky funk. Please forgive the wordplay, because this stuff really has “funk”… Sitting beside me while I type, it keeps wafting by my nose and has literally made my mouth water.

Comments:

Medication Testing Session: Play-by-Play!

4:45 – Thin Stems (highly snappable) grind up into the rest, super well cured and stinky.
4:49 – Rolled & Ready. I’m not a huge fan of these papers, but they work.
4:49 – Sparked. Beautiful musky/skunky taste to the smoke
4:50 – Burning evenly but kinda quick. Thick black ring under the cherry.
*coughing
4:52 – Small coughing fit, lots of weight in my temples.
4:53 – Still have a tickle in my lungs, must be smoke expanding. On every haul.
4:53 – Almost half through, coughs sending pain through my back and leg. Smaller hauls.
4:54 – Feeling a bright buzz in my eyes. Smoke still tastes incredible.
*coughing
4:55 – I wish I could stop the coughing, it really aggravates my back. Shoulda vaped.
4:56 – Shoulder stretch feels great, can feel looseness in my hands.
*coughing
4:57 – Coughing doesn’t hurt for as long after, my muscles are definitely relaxing.
4:58 – Adjusted position, pretty comfortable considering initial pain threshold.
4:59 – Near roach, bitter change to taste, kinda like burnt pancakes. I think I’m done.
*coughing
5:00 – Squeezed out a couple more hauls. Probably shouldn’t have, but it brought a big rush of warmth to my head. Kinda hurt while coughing, but such is the nature of medicating through such an enjoyable method as smoking.

Conclusion: 9/10

But maybe a 9.5? I need a better camera and a magnification scope. I also wish there was more information about this strain available, but respectfully the community of growers do their work behind closed doors (most of the time) so details are often hazy. What I could muster up was that this is as indica as it gets. Back-crossing the original O.G. Kush with itself. It may be incest, but it works… Smoking and vaporizing Quad O.G. has been excellent for my (especially angry right now) back injury. It numbs and relaxes my body well past the point of distraction, and because of the “couch-lock” contained within, definitely makes it easy to rest (and not write). After work, before bed, or anytime to take a painful edge off, this is the stuff.

 Note: Once again, I waited until the very last nug of my batch to write this review. I’ve been fighting off back-spasms for the past week or so, and the Quad OG‘s 100% indica effects from this strain are a blessing… Check out the Headband Kush review and my Purple Chemo review for some more indica dominant greatness!

Marijuana Strain Review: The Church

The Church

Medical Marijuana Strain : The Church

Medical Marijuana : The Church

Physical Exam:

Visual Appeal: 9 (1-10 / unpleasant-superb)
Bud Density: 6 (1-10 / airy-dense)
Aroma Intensity: 8 (1-10 / subtle-intense)
Seed Content: 1 (1-10 / none-fully seeded)
Colours Present in Buds: 4 Green / 6 Gold / 1 White / 2 Orange / 1 Red / 1 Purple (1-10 / light-dark)
Present Aromas: 4 Skunk / 3 Hash / 7 Floral / 5 Musk / 9 Vegetable (freshly cracked bud | 1-10 / weak-potent)

Comments:

If you know me, you know I’m godless and proud of it… So picking up a batch of “The Church” with my regular meds was kind of of a joke, until I got it open. This is easily one of the prettiest strains I’ve ever seen. Trying to describe this plant with words just can’t do it justice. An amazing buildup of glassy trichromes are a treat for the eyes, and handling the loosely packed buds made my fingers stick to each other. I imagine that the trimming session from this was amazing! A fresh, green, spicy, almost vegetable smell is a huge stand-out quality, so I was lucky to have a friend (and trained chef) on hand for his thoughts during testing.

Efficacy Testing:

Utensils Used: Oracle Infrared Vaporizer (2x Standard 2′ Vapor Bag)
Dosage: 0.4g
Sativa Effect: 8 (1-10 / none-heavy)
Indica Effect: 8 (1-10 / none-heavy)
Effect Onset: 5 (1-10 / immediate-creeper)
Potency: 9 (1-10 / none-heavy)
Taste: 8 (1-10 / unpleasant-superb)
Tolerance Build up: 1 (1-10 / none-rapid)
Effect Duration: ≈3 hours
Usability: 5 Morning / 5 Day & Work / 9 Evening / 7 Night (1-10 / worst-ideal time of day)

Comments:

Using this strain in the vaporizer resulted in amazingly smooth vapor. Sometime during my second bag I noted that I’d yet to really cough. There is a light buzz on the head that sets in almost immediately alongside very positive energy, and 20+ minutes after the session a definite relaxation through the body. Not too much couch-lock (got up to write notes, didn’t I?) but it wouldn’t be a problem getting comfortable for a little nap, even though I’ve noted a very clear sativa effect on the mind that’s allowed me to get some work done.

*My first session with The Church was right before a 20 minute walk followed by a 2 hour live DJ set, and I enjoyed every second of it, not noticing any physical pain until the set was done and adrenaline had stopped pumping.

Conclusion: 9/10

“I’ve never tasted marijuana or any particular strain that tasted so much like vegetables. Kohlrabi to be exact. It was a very cool thing to experience.” – Chef Creezle

The taste and effects of “The Church” are as much a treat as the way it looks out of the bag. This was obviously cared for meticulously by the grower, and the results are a superior batch of medical grade marijuana. The hybrid effects are super interesting; starting with a warm buzz, then a more indica influence creeping up over the duration of the high, and it’s mood-elevating properties are second to none. All that with the taste & look, well, some might consider it a religious experience. Pain reduction/distraction qualities are also notable, especially with something to do… I love strains that encourage me to get up and DJ but don’t let me think about the pain…
