Grade: B

Type: Indica Dominant Hybrid – (Sensi Star x Train Wreck)

Price: $50/8th

Appearance: This sample looked to be in good shape (well manicured), no issues to speak of, but nothing special to say either.

Aroma: There was a little sweetness to this one when crushed, but it really just smelled like any non-descript kind pot.

Taste: After a few reviews I’ve settled to say there is a bit of a spicy taste to this one – not a hot spicy, more of a “spiced” cider spicy of some sort.

Effects: This had its indica nature and I could have easily sat on the couch for a couple hours each time I medicated.  However, I rarely have that time available and this Star Train did allow me to function with my family and enjoy some time playing in the yard with only mild neck pain.

Duration: Medium 1.5 – 2 hours

Medicinal Use: (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY)  Some.  I was able to downgrade the pain levels that follow me everywhere enough to enjoy some weekend sun with my family.  Frankly, that’s all I can ask for and this provided it.  However, if given my druthers I’d likely choose one of the other varieties available.

Overall: I liked the Star Train, better than I like the Train Wreck on its own (update: I’ve since confirmed I like the Sensi Star of this combo).  It’s a medium potency strain that can be used in a number of scenarios to manage pain or for sleep.  If you can only choose one to bring with you and you don’t know what environment you may be in, this could be a useful choice.  A middle-road for new patients.

Grade: C+

Type: Indica

Price: $20/g

Appearance:  It looks like Urkle to me having seen samples over the years.  Plenty of purple and solid hairing, beautiful mix of colors – reminded me of a lesser version of the Afro Berry from just looks.

Aroma:  This Urkle had the nice aroma you expect (more fake candy grape than real grape), but it was not as strong as I remember.  This was very dry and could have been an old sample, I’m not sure.

Taste: Nothing harsh, but missing the flavor people talk about with this strain.

Effects: This is an Indica, but it had an irregular effect for us. (We both reviewed this one twice because of the unexpected nature of it).

Duration: Medium. 1 – 1.5 hours

Pain Management: (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY)  We both have muscle issues and I have spine/shoulder nerve pain as well.  This strain made me immediately tense and actually heightened my awareness of my muscle issues in my back and neck.  I had my wife drive me to get a massage about an hour after smoking and the car ride was unpleasant.

Overall: I was less than thrilled with this specimen and typically feel this strain is a solid B + variety.  If I saw this one again I would ensure the smell was very strong and hope it was indicative of a fresher/better specimen than this particular sample.
