Pre-’98 Bubba Kush Medical Marijuana Strain Review

From: Green Dream Health Services

Grade: A

Type: Mostly Indica, of Afghani/Pakistani origin, thought to have been brought into the US in the 1980′s… we recently received confirmation that this is in fact a Pre-’98 Bubba cut.

Price: $50/8th + tax

Appearance: (9/10)  This was an amazing-looking Bubba, with the signature blend of purples and greens, but an especially nice lime green that comes out when it’s cracked open.  Rather dense but with the typical Kush structure, this sample was cared for perfectly post-harvest… nicely dry, cleanly-trimmed, and bristling with well-timed trichome heads.

Aroma: (9/10)  Very potent stereotypical Bubba smell, with hints of coffee, musk, fuel, and a strong background of soil-tinged Kush.  There’s a light sweetness that comes out when ground, but otherwise it’s a musky and “dark” package.  Super pungent both in the jar and when ground… top-notch here.

Taste: (8.5/10)  One of the best Bubbas we’ve encountered for sure, this one had almost the same qualities as the smell but the sweetness and the fuel notes came out more than the others.  There was still some coffee aftertaste, but it mainly reminded us of a sweet Diesel with its fairly fresh and clean qualities.  Very pungent-tasting and highly expansive, this one burned down to a speckled light gray ash, indicating a solid flush.

Effects: Warmth in the head, eyes, and face started the package of potent effects that this Bubba possessed, leading quickly to a heavy-feeling head and warm vibrations all over the body.  We felt a strange heart-racing quality with this Bubba, even though it wasn’t at all racy mentally.  The initial potency, which was fairly clear-headed but a little on the goofy side, seemed to fade out around 1:30, leading to a more subdued state of relaxation and mood elevation.  The urge to go lay down or otherwise be in a stationary position is strong late in the duration and it may lead into sleep.

Duration: Long, 2.5 – 3 hours

Medicinal Traits: (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY)  Mood elevation, mental/physical relaxation, mild pain relief, appetite stimulation, possible ocular relief, sleep aid properties.

Overall: A top-notch Bubba in basically every aspect, this one was tasty, potent, and we just kept wanting to look at it because it was so pretty.  If Bubba Kush is one of the strains you enjoy, or if you want to try it and are looking for a great example, this one is a winner for sure.  Great for patients with a slightly higher tolerance, it kept our professional reviewers rather medicated going into the third hour.

    Is there any way you can make some sort of indication at what magnification you take these pictures? We’re using the same scope and I am having trouble coming anywhere near the quality of your pictures, you are truly doing a fantastic job. Totally understandable if you consider that info proprietary.

    Yeah, can’t talk about the camera much — I’d have to guess that the close crop on the Bubba is about 30-40x or somewhere in there in terms of pure magnification. But yeah, the scope isn’t producing these pictures… the purple trichome gallery/slideshow is the best posted example of what our Discovery scope does, as well as all the gross mite pictures in the MariTrust post… you can’t match photo quality with the scope mainly due to the resolution being so low.
