From: Plants 4 Life

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.

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.
