Colorado Cough Medicinal Marijuana Strain Review

From:  Colorado Alternative Medicine

Grade:  B+

Type:  80/20 Sativa-dominant hybrid,  (NL#5 x Haze #17) aka Ft. Collins Cough

Price: $20/gram ($50 mix-n-match 8ths)

Appearance:  Looked like old Cough from the later 90s.

Aroma:  A piney menthol scent.

Taste:  A woody pine flavor.

Buzz Type:  This one was quick starter going to my head right off the bat.  True to its name, it made me cough, not harsh, more of a tickle effect. Not one to “knock your socks off”, I found the power of this strain was in its ability to sustain.  Brought me to a nice steady level and stayed there.  Though sativa dominant, I felt right at home on the couch.  No real surge of energy as expected, actually went to lay down for a while after a couple of hours.

Buzz Length:  Medium.  1.5 – 2 hours but very solid.

Medicinal Use:  (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY)  Would apply this one to more stress and anxiety relief with mild pain management.

Overall:  I like this one because I felt it stuck to the fundamentals. I have found that a lot of the popular strains have blast-off power but for the most part come with a steady descent.  The CoCough is the opposite for me, I didn’t give me a huge punch in the face but had a strong plateau.   I recommend this on for the once -a-dayers who come home, want to relax and leave it at that.  Its lingering effect is good for the long haul and would expect meds to last a while.

From: Delta 9 (JLP’s Juliet)

Grade: B+

Type: Hybrid (C99 femal x NYC Diesel male)

Price: $40/8th

Appearance:  Nice, not the prettiest but well manicured and dry.

Aroma:  Very pleasant following grind.  Familiar but not easy, maybe a sweet dried berry.

Taste: :  Still berry taste but more of a potpourri when smoked. Lasting after taste.

Buzz Type:  Energetic and talkative, could be motivated to get up and go, but also a perfect watch a movie strain. Comfortable in public.

Buzz Length: :  Medium. 1 – 1.5 hours with a half hour of lingering effect.  (Seemed to last longer when Vaporized?)

Medicinal Use: (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY) )  Would suggest to help with anxiety and antisocial ailments.  Some mild pain relief…or forgetting.

Overall:  Really like this specimen, and the name is fitting.  You can take her on any date you like – active, chatty, or movie.  Can’t ask for much more, except a longer buzz length.

White Rhino Medical Marijuana Strain Review

From: Grasshopper

Grade: B+

Type: Indica-dominant hybrid, (White Widow x Afghani)

Price: $20/g

Appearance: Small buds, denser than expected from first glance.  Plenty of “white” visualization around orange hairs.

Aroma: Pleasant smell – often found with lemon hints but I couldn’t pick them out in this specimen.

Taste: Again, often said to have lemon involved, but I got a much dirtier taste, nothing saying “fresh fruit”.  However, it is a very recognizable hashy/harsh flavor that will be appreciated by any experienced smoker.

Effects: Said to be a creeper, I found this strain to hit me pretty quickly in comparison with my attention to detail and sounds immediately heightened.  It was very cerebral and had me looking for a place to sit for the first 15-20 minutes. (Leads me to believe our sample was a little more Indica dominant).

Duration: Medium. 1-1.5 hours with a fairly steep let down (burn out).

Pain Management: (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY)  Most samples of the White Rhino have always helped with my muscle and spine pain and this one did as well.  Some other strains may last longer and be better for public facing situations.  This one can easily be “overdone”.

Overall: I like the White Rhino strain and I would certainly pick it up again.  I felt this sample had an interesting mix of up and down.  It provided a strong couch incentive at first which allowed me to manage my pain in a quick manner, but then gently lifted me up and gave me about 45-60 minutes of energy to get some home chores accomplished pain free.  The let down was stiff so not a great mid-day smoke in my opinion, better for a couple hours before bed.  This is not a strain I would recommend for a newly prescribed patient, but definitely for a seasoned smoker who knows they enjoy “white” varieties.
