Comments:

A beautiful batch of meds from friends in British Columbia, this Hindu Kush strain is a near textbook indica. Thick, shapely buds (all were above 1g, most above 3g, up to 8g) with strong pale green/silver stems and a little extra fan leaf made up the sample, and though it didn’t get a perfect trim there was nothing to complain about. Squeezing a nug reveals a sticky and kind of spongy feeling, but the very well cured buds bounce back to shape and left a little stinky, sticky residue on my fingers. Cracking open a bud gives off an immediate “kush kick” smell that gets my mouth watering, and breaking it up with a pair of scissors releases the clean and piney elements that Kush strains strive for. They seem ideal for aromatherapy uses I think, because I personally would wear this.

Comments:

The following is what I wrote while medicating, its a bit rough, but outlines the experience pretty well.

3 mins in I’m feeling it behind my eyes while something begins pulling eyelids down… 5 mins in, already spacing out on the TV.. very smooth flavour (night and day vs vapor which was very dry and harsh at times)… no cough until a big haul about halfway down the joint, brings a rush of blood into my head and makes my eyes water… feeling a pressure in my sinus and behind my temples, almost like a massage… eyes keep getting heavier.. 1/3rd left another short coughing fit, stretching out my arms i can feel a massive release of tension through my shoulders, i’m very comfortable in my seated position. The joint is out, I’m a total space cadet… 25 mins after start I don’t want to be at the computer taking notes, I want to let the couch-lock do its thing, so playstation3 made up the remainder of this testing session. I really enjoyed it, felt no pain, and no need to roll another until much later in the evening.

@ this point I had a snack and had a very comfortable 1 hour nap. Indica win.

Conclusion: 8/10

I tried to review this bud last week, but it’s so powerful in it’s effects that only these pictures got done. Initially I was using my Oracle Infrared Vaporizer with about .3g/bowl, cooked hot into 1 large vapor bag, and thats all it took. My notes might as well be a slurred word with the pen running off the page. 90% of the time I medicated with this batch of Hindu I woke up on the couch ≈2 hours after starting the session. Concentrating as best as possible to get this review out there, I checked a fresh nug, rolled it, and sat down for an after dinner doobie & blog updating session.
