National Holistic Healing Center

After half-dozen visits, I'm very pleased. Facility was wheelchair accessible, clean & bright. Everyone was pleasant & knowledgeable, making me feel at home & answering a variety of questions. Keep up the good work!

Color is medium – light green with some gold; bud structure is medium dense.
Rich, chocolate nose which was still present on joint pre-light. Head, plus full-body, buzz was solid for several hours. Munchies followed -- Xmas cookies tasted great!

** Diabetics, take note: This buzz, like most, can mask low blood sugar, so pay attention. **

Medijuana

Report card: Medijuana (Mdj)

Even though this strain isn't listed as having high CBD (along w the listed high THC content), the guys at the dispensary assured me that it was. After trying it numerous times, I believe them. It greatly reduces my pain, which strains high in THC only do not. This is a good equivalent to the other high-THC/high-CBD strains (such as Rutherford B. Haze) that I have tried.
Color is medium green w gold; nuggets not that dense, but very sticky. Earthy, mineral aroma but very mild, even on grinding, like similar strains. Consistent pre-light taste, but still very mild (especially compared to other strains that have a heavy skunk or sour taste).
Head hum immediately after lighting, morphing into that familiar high-THC, full-body buzz. Medium to heavy couch lock w plenty of cottonmouth (that has me looking for my Quench gum). 2-3 hours of tremendous pain relief & relaxation.

CBD Blue Shark

Report card: CBD Blue Shark (Bsh) by Apelles

Another winner! This is the 2nd high-THC/high-CBD strain tried. Like the 1st (Rutherford B. Haze), very effective treating my pain, but no noticeable effect on my muscle spasms.
Color is medium dark green w brown & some gold; THC fuzz readily visible; stems not real dense. Smells earthy. Moist & crumbly after grinding, practically rolls itself. Solid buzz from high THC content, but no major couch-lock.
IMHO, a good substitute for Rutherford B. Haze.

Royal Medic

Report card: Royal Medic (Rom) by Alternative Solutions

Winner #3 in the high-THC/high-CBD category (along with Rutherford B. Hayes & CBD Blue Shark).Knocks my pain right out, but no relief of muscle spasms.
Color is medium light green w some purple threads; pot fuzz visible on stems; bud structure middle of the road, not too tight, not too loose. Smells earthy on grinding, reminds me of the dirt I taste in a good Bordeaux. Like the 2 other high-CBD strains I've tried (Mentioned above aroma & taste very mild. Solid buzz due to high THC. Rated multiple times.
IMHO, a good substitute for Rutherford B. Haze or CBD Blue Shark.

Report card: Orange Sunshine (Ors) by Holistic Remedies

Medium green w some blue threads -- no gold. Nothing remarkable about bud structure. Pre-smoke tastes medium citrus & burnt rubber, not overwhelming. Very smooth smoke. High as advertised for a 50/50 hybrid -- not too much couch-lock, not too much live wire. A couple hours flew by sitting in chair, but I had no problem w texts/emails; well-balanced high. More of the same on relight.
I recommend this strain to green weed rookies & pot vets alike. Good party smoke. Consistent notes

Rutherford B. Haze

Report card: Rutherford B. Haze (Rbh) by Holistic Remedies

Finally found something that clobbers my pain! Relatively low pain (0-2) ALL DAY for 4 straight days! This is the first cannabis I tried that has had high CBD content. Unfortunately, no relief for my muscle spasms.
Medium green w traces of brown; lots of pot fuzz; medium dense; hybrid-like; no major lumber in nuggets. Earthy, musty smell on grinding; no obvious citrus or sour notes. Immediate frontal lobe buzz on lighting; Long high but no major couch-lock; feels like a 50/50 hybrid. My new favorite strain! Rated multiple times.
