Comments:

This batch smells like it comes from outer space. A cannabis cup winner from the 90′s, Nebula is a cross between a “potent father” and “white widow”, so it’s as true a hybrid as you’ll find. Said to have a very “open” structure, my batch was so dense that I’m not sure what that reference means. Arriving in a sealed container (the largest bud had to be broken in half to fit) the stab it took at my nostrils is one I won’t soon forget. An incredibly potent, acidic, citrus-y smell fills the room when it’s broken up. A little bit of stickyness makes rolling a dream, and the name comes easy with the dusting of trichome crystals (nebula = star cloud). Because of the density and overall great looks it’s easy to go overboard and roll up monsters, so you can just call me Mr.Wizard, ’cause this is about science.

Comments:

The following is a minute-to-minute report on my findings and feelings. No Bullshit.

2:44 – Metal grinder tears through it easily, no need for a second chop.
2:45 – Rolling. Plant matter grips the papers nicely, easy to spin up.
2:48 – Simple light. First hauls taste like candy.
2:49 – The smoke is expanding big time, kinda takes the breath away.
2:50 – Taste getting “deeper”… Reminds me of an orange gummy bear
*coughing
2:51 – Trying not to let myself cough. 1 slipped out, but it didn’t hurt.
2:51 – Nearing the half-way point, its burning faster than I thought.
2:52 – Ash is about 60% white, in combination with the smell, prolly shoulda been flushed sooner?
2:53 – Feeling slightly distracted, but mind is racing over the list I need to accomplish today.
2:54 – Re-light. This is a very interesting tasting/smelling bud, I don’t know if I reeeally like it.
*coughing
2:55 – Tingle in my throat from that one… Need some juice…
2:56 – Airy behind the eyes, no familiar indica weight really, this is different.
*coughing
2:57 – Little cough. Cleared my throat and feel very nice.
2:58 –  About ready to put this out. Very cool flavours right to the end
*coughing
2:59 – Done.

Conclusion: 8.5/10

Rubbing my eyes from the last hauls of my scientifically sized marijuana cigarette, I can’t help but draw a blank. While I’m certainly feeling medicated, I’m unsure of how to word it and accurately describe the effects specifically. My back pain & muscle spasms haven’t faded, but weren’t a huge issue at the get-go. Nebula is a “classic” medicinal marijuana strain, and I would imagine the refined sativa powered genetics are what made this a favourite for many over the years. Depending on the issue paired with, and time of day used, this would probably act wonderfully for anti-depressant or day-starting application. While I prefer more indica kick to my medicine, it’s clear this is a potent strain with strong effects on the mind, so it’s a treat to use.

Note:

I might come back to this, I might not. I’ve spent the last 30 minutes since the testing portion around the internet getting some work done, and thinking strongly about an early dinner… Or at least a snack… I can defintitely say the effects of this are strong, but as always, I’d prefer a bit more indica for a billion different reasons. It’s like the stuff was designed just for me…
