Purple Indica  Medicinal Marijuana Strain Review

From:  Sweet Leaf

Grade:  B

Type:  Indica.

Price:  $18/gram

Appearance:  Appeared white or light shade from the bottom of the bud and a nice moderate purple from the top.

Aroma:  Sweet smelling, not fruity and not earthy.

Taste:  I found this sample to lack a decisive taste, not much expansion.

Buzz Type:  Heavy indica.  This purple variety came on heavy and quick, with a strong anti-social component.  I found myself in the bedroom with the door shut just hoping nobody was going to knock.  The high intensity fell off significantly at a half-hour after ingestion, but I was still indifferent to the TV and people.

Buzz Length:  Medium. 1 – 1.5 hours.

Medicinal Use: (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY)  Great sleeping aid, worked well for my neck/nerve pain.

Overall:  There was nothing bad to say about the bud itself, well presented and taken care of.  However, with so many nice Indicas available today I simply have a hard time seeking one out that provides such a strong anti-social element.  I’m finding more and more of the purple strains with this string attached.  I will admit that certain situations may actually call for this behavior so please make you own call as always.

I.N.T.  Medicinal Marijuana Strain Review

From: Walking Raven

Grade:  B+

Type:  Indica Heavy, very heavy.  I.N.T. is “I’m Not Tellin’” but we got enough info to say it is a blend of Kush and ChemDawg #4

Price: $20/gram

Appearance:  Very long orange tendrils.  A good looking bud.

Aroma:  Pungent, very aromatic.  A lot like the Skunk #1 I got from Herbal Connections awhile back.

Taste:  No specific flavor I could recognize, but lots of taste – very sharp on your tongue.

Buzz Type:  Indica dominant.  I was told “Don’t smoke in the morning, it will ruin your day” and I believe it.  I hade a noticeable increase in my heart rate upon ingestion.

Buzz Length:  Long. 2 hours

Medicinal Use:  (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY)  Get rest if you need it, worked well for neck/nerve issues.

Overall:  I like this INT, it’s good for what it’s good for.  Sit down, relax, don’t plan to do anything.  Make sure you keep your posture if you have back issues, this thing had me slouching until I was a pretzel.

Bruce Banner #3 Medical Marijuana Strain Review

From: Delta 9

Grade:  A+

Type:  Hybrid,  (Strawberry Diesel x OG Kush)

Price:  $40/8th

Appearance:  Light green buds that were covered in crystals.

Aroma:  Diesel, hash and a slight fruit which is no shocker considering the strains that went into this hybrid.

Taste:  Soil, with a little sweetness.

Buzz Type:  Pretty intense at first with a relaxing finish.

Buzz Length:  Long. 2 – 2.5 hours.

Medicinal Use: (We are NOT doctors – personal OPINION only)  Worked very well for leg, extremity nerve and muscle pains.

Overall: The only bad things I can say about this bud is that I always wanted more and I wish it lasted a little longer. I had an insatiable appetite for this strain. This strain has everything I like in a bud, it comes on strong (almost lock the door turn off the lights strong), then turns energetic then a relaxing finish. This strain has a nice expansion that makes you cough but not to much.  The buds are covered in trichomes and the buds are very well manicured. I was equally impressed that one of the owners of the shop created the Bruce Banner strain and has a degree in Botany.  The owners of the shop are definitely cool people and I would say this is one of my favorite spots.

Re-Review 4.1.2010

Grade: A-

Reason: This particular crop of the BB#3 isn’t quite what we previously reviewed.  While this strain is still AMAZING and should be picked up when available, this grow didn’t produce the same power.  We found the Jack Flash was having a stronger effect across the board, multiple tests confirmed this across all of our reviewers.  The smell was still perfect, one of the very best there is, but it seems maybe the nutrients weren’t fully flushed because not only did we get the trademark “firecracker popping” when the bowl was lit, but we also missed the wonderful taste.  This one was a little soapy tasting.  Hey, we understand it’s hard to live up to the best of the best, so we aren’t disappointed at all.  The fact remains, this strain is at the top with the best in the world in our eyes, but the pent up demand and time pressures seem to have affected this harvest.

UPDATE 9/2/10:  As we have already re-reviewed and lowered the overall grade of this strain, we felt that it was time to pull it from the A+ listing on our site and average it out to an A.  We wanted a fresh start with A+ grades, and though the first batch of Bruce Banner #3 certainly earned its A+ at the time, our standards have since changed and due to the availability of the strain, we have not been able to re-review it with our current three-reviewer methodology.  The historical A+ remains, and the Bruce will always be one of our favorites in Colorado.
