Visual: (9/10)  This extract had a gorgeous golden-yellow coloration which showed both high-quality trim and a skilled hand in the extraction process.  It didn’t have a shine to it, but was rather a matte and lightly crumbly texture, which was easier to scoop than to stab in order to dab it.  We scoped it and saw no impurities or plant matter of any kind, one of the cleanest-looking samples of BHO we’ve seen lately.  Great job by the extraction artist here.  Note:  due to the color and the texture, our expert reviewer suggested that this extract be called “budder” rather than wax.

Aroma: (9/10)  We were intrigued by the fruitiness present in this extract, as normally they tend to not retain those types of smells and land in the lemon-pine type of area.  This budder had a very crisp, clean, lightly sweet-smelling scent which wasn’t overwhelmingly potent, but strong enough and unique enough to bring a smile to our faces.  We kept thinking “melon” with this sample…

Flavor: (8.5/10)  Once again, we were impressed with the lightly sweet and crisp fruit flavor, which was firmly in the melon area.  The smoke was fairly thick and did cause some coughing, but mostly just due to expansion rather than any particular harshness.  The flavor wasn’t as pungent as some of the Chem/Kush varieties of BHO, but it was again unique and pleasurable.

Consumption:  This very pure-looking extract held to that standard in the smoking experience as well, leaving behind no residue and melting almost immediately, never making any sort of sizzling or spattering sound on the skillet or paddle.

Effects:  While one reviewer reported some more cerebral activity and a bit of uplift, the other two had an overwhelmingly narcotic and nearly paralyzing experiences with a hearty 4 dab dosage.  The initial effects included the familiar buildup of pressure in the eyes and face, but that’s about where the Sativa-type effects stopped.  Though our mood was greatly uplifted and improved, the heavy body effect and dry, at-times burning eye feeling gave us the urge to close our eyes and just shut off the world.  A great med for later in the evening, it kept us in either a seated or horizontal position nearly the entire time, seeming to get more sedative and heavier as it went on.  Sleep can easily come at the 2-3 hour mark, even when consumed early in the day and when well-rested.

Duration:  2.5-3 hours medicinal-level duration, lingering effects out to 4+ hours

Medicinal Traits:  (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY)  Mood elevation early on, pain relief, deep relaxation (both mental and physical), anti-anxiety, and sleep aid.
