I've been stained by Permanent Marker

On the recommendation of some trusted sources, I picked up a generous quantity of Permanent Marker. Another name could have been "super creative face melter followed by a warm blanket of inescapable drowsiness" but I guess that strain was already taken or something.

Initial smell on opening the bag is a lovely mix of all kinds of aromas. Sweet earth, some floral-y gas that gets sweeter the more to you inhale. The buds are big beautiful hunks of green covered in orange hairs and absolutely covered in resinous trichomes. One nug is over 5 grams, had to set that aside for the photo.

On to the session itself. Got off work, my flowerpot was already sitting at a nice 650 degrees. I heard from said reputable source that this was a strain not to be trifled with. As usual, I threw caution to the wind and 'did my own research'. I should have saved some of that caution for real. I've been a medical patient for almost 8 years and I thought coughing on a bowl was some rookie shit I left behind years ago.

Nope. Permanent Marker clouded up my glass incredibly fast, I could feel it working on me while I was in the middle of said hit. Couldn't hold, coughed one time and said "goddamn". Immediate sensation in the face and eyes. After the initial powerful hit, I actually started to feel pretty energized which took me by surprise. As strong as it was, I expected to stay glued to my chair or go lay down. I got talkative and excited. Didn't matter what about, everything was awesome. After about an hour or so, the exuberance started to wear off and the drowsy heavy eyelids started to happen. I legit felt like a toddler fighting sleep. Probably looked like it too.

This strain is incredible for after work use. Quick powerful relief, elevated mood for a nice amount of time before turning off the lights for the night.

C'mon, be the weird kid and get some Permanent Marker in your face and thank me later. 10/10 Highly recommend!

Pave - a relaxed Gelato Cake

Picked a gram of this up to try out. When I opened the bag, the smell was very reminiscent of Gelato Cake. Gelato Cake has always had tight little buds, Pave has buds that are compact with little cones pointing out. Very cool structure and pleasing to the eye.

Ground up, the gelato cake smell is intense. I love that smell. Gelato cake is one of my favorite strains and Pave makes an excellent companion depending on your mood/situation. For me, the taste, smell was all Gelato Cake but the effects were different. Pave has me more relaxed over all while still having an upbeat vibe. Gelato cake is for when your team is playing, Pave for when they lose lol

Seriously, I was very happy with this little pickup. All the familiarity of Gelato Cake with some slight dampening of the excitability made for an excellent session.

Get a slice of humble pie and sit down for the evening

Dark green buds, smell earthy with a touch of gas. Seems to be hints of citrus as well. Grinds up nice and fluffy but sticky like magic sand. This is a heavier strain than you’d expect. Had a decent sized bowl in my flowerpot and the onset of effects was immediate. Nice, sedated feeling in my body but felt clear headed.

Later in the evening, came back for round two tis time at a lower temp. The taste at lower temps is more sweet. Not sure if just me but I keep picking up faint hints of bubblegum? I feel like if I were in a social setting, I’d talk your ear off. I would anyway, but even more so. The longer I sit here, the more apparent the effects are. Mind remains active but the body is very still. I have a feeling I will sleep well tonight.
*spoiler alert*

I DID! 10/10 would recommend for trouble with sleeping or winding down after a long day.

White Runtz

Cannabically speaking, I usually stay in my strain lane and buy the same strains each time. This last visit to Takoma Wellness saw me try my hand at some other strains as well as my favorites.

I've had many strains from Abatin/MF over the years but hadn't tried White Runtz until this pickup. The buds are small and compact. Have a nice tight little structure. Ground up it has a really nice rich green color to it.

Low temp hit gave me some glue-y flavors initially. 2nd and 3rd hits yielded some cake to the mix and then tapering off to toasted coconut near the end. Quite a tasty little bowl!

I had this for a wake n bake on Sunday morning and it was perfect. The effects started behind my eyes and in my head. Felt some gentle pressure that led to a stony/cerebral feeling. Kinda felt like a balloon on a short string. I was connected but the connection was wavy. Feel like you could drift away in thought or in a cloud at any moment but never crossed that line. I have a feeling a second or a larger dose would have tipped me right over that edge. Looking forward to using this one again at higher doses!

Would recommend for social settings, getting out of your own head, etc.

Kosher Kush is serious business!

So before I sat down to do an actual review, I was eager to try some. I did, and it had me so sedated and comfy, I blew off the review for another time. That time is now!

The buds are so attractive, you'll want to take photos. Big full buds but not fluffy. There is some nice tactile feel to the flower when you break them apart. Once broken apart/ground up, the smells of earth, forest, and teas are present. Grinding it lets some gassy aromas out that I didn't catch on the initial smell.

I had my desktop vaporizer set to 650 and made myself a very solid .25g bowl. Complex profile, nothing stands out in the sense that it feels very balanced. I picked up some earth and gas and I swear there was a brief hint of mint but I could be wrong.

Effects didn't seem too much at first and I was thinking "hmm, might have a day time strain on my hands". Sat down on the couch and about 5 min later i felt suuuuper sedated in my legs. My knees specifically felt so good. So, give it some time to work its magic and you'll be feelin better in no time.

Highly recommend this one for joint/muscle pain and sleep. 5/5 will have again

Dispensary Review:

Takoma Wellness Center

Takoma Wellness, my home away from home.

Seven years ago my knees, my elbows, my back, my shoulders hurt so bad from getting hit by a car 20+ years ago. Over the years I had tried everything the doctors recommended and everything still hurt. I couldn't get either of my arms to get any higher than straight out in front of me. I was tipping the scales at 260-275. Within a few weeks of using various products, one day I just realized I could not only raise my arm higher than normal, I could circle them around and everything. I also lost my taste for alcohol/beer and with some other changes, dropped about 90 lbs over the next year or so. I'm now in my 50s and in far better shape than I was from my mid 30s to late 40s.

Takoma Wellness singlehandedly changed my entire view of cannabis and what it could be for people.

Pixie Crush - Made me reconsider sativas!

I’ve been a medical patient for a bit over 7 years. For about 99% of the time, I’m either with Indicas or Indica leaning Hybrids. Early on, I tried a sativa and I didn’t like it and it didn’t like me.

Over time, I’ve learned a lot and thought I should try them again. Enter Molecular Farms and their Pixie Crush strain. The buds are light in color and covered in glittering trichomes. Opening the jar and taking a deep whiff is amazing. Notes of blood orange are most prominent with some skunk/funk on the back end. Like, put my head in a giant bag of this and let me marinate for a bit.

The effects. I don’t know how else to describe the effects other than noticing a lack of effects and you’ll see what I mean. I have ADHD and life can be hard just remembering what it is you are supposed to be doing at any given moment. Using this on low temperature in my desktop vaporizer is delicious. Like you could serve this WITH brunch and a cocktail. It would fit right in. Super light and tasty!

So after about 10 min, I just felt CLEAR. Apparently, a lot of people feel like this normally? That’s what I hear anyway lol. Seriously though, the clarity is unmistakable. I can just function normally, I remember things that might normally jump out of my ear.

10/10 small batch strain from Molecular Farms. Would definitely buy this again, I’d just get more of it than the single eighth I got this time.

Gelato Cake, as gentle or intense as you want it. Wow!

Gelato Cake is one of those strains that I always seem to have on hand except in recent months. In my latest visit to Takoma Wellness Center, I picked up a big batch of Gelato Cake (among other things).

I forgot how GOOD Gelato Cake smells when you first open the bag. Trying to pin down the aromas in Gelato Cake has always been a task that I love to attempt. There is a sweet cake-y undertone and a very forward spicy/piney smell. As you break the buds apart, the aromas mingle and intensify.

The buds themselves are gorgeous. Dark purple and green make up the colors but they're hard to make out under the waves of trichomes that litter the surface. Seriously, look at the photo I added. That is straight out of the bag and into my C-Vault. The buds have a nice feel to them, dense but not rigid, fluffy but not sparse. They break apart nicely so I can fit them in my grinder leaving my fingers sticky to the touch.

Now, on to the good part! I ground up a decent amount and measured put .15 grams and put it in my vaporizer. The initial taste/aroma is stellar. The vapor is thick, dense, and flavorful. On exhale, you can feel the effects rather quickly. The body relaxes a bit, the eyes drop a bit and the mood starts to elevate. First few minutes after were spent staring out the window and contemplating life. This is a very cerebral/heady strain. Additional pulls from the same bowl yield even more vapor and now the effects are magnified. I feel extremely happy, energetic, and creative. I also feel slightly syrupy in the sense that both the mind and body seem just a tag sluggish in movement. Perfect for the end of a long week!

Gelato Cake is a pretty versatile strain if you use a vaporizer. Low temp hits yield incredibly tasty hits and a very upbeat, almost giddy mood. I am talkative and curious. If you raise your vaporizer temp, the hits turn super heavy and intense. After the initial rush softens a bit, the high turns me to near couch lock state.

I easily give Gelato Cake a 5/5 rating. Buds are attractive and covered in trichomes. it smells amazing from the time you open the bag until the time you exhale a giant cloud of vapor. Effects are top notch! I'd recommend Gelato Cake for evening and/or weekend use as the effects can be heavy. Also, it tastes amazing so it is hard to have just one.

Kashmir Jade, this strain is a keeper

Kashmir Jade is medicine in every way. The flower is a medium to dark green with lots of little orange hairs and a few purple hairs as well! Opening the bag will have you feeling like a dog with a new bag of food. The smell is GREAT! It smells of pine, earthy forests and dank moss or something. Breaking the flower apart yields some fuel smells that aren't present on the initial nose test. It just keeps getting better! Ground up in the grinder all the smells are present. It might be one of my favorite smelling strains, it hits on so many levels.

On to the session. I use a desktop vaporizer and feel it really lets the taste shine. The exhale shows notes of pine, spicy pepper, and some bready flavors as the bowl starts to get toasty. The next pull completely clouds my water piece. Fantastic amount of vapor production. The feeling is relaxed and peaceful. Old injuries dull, the mind slows down a bit. This is a fantastic strain top to bottom. Attractive, smells amazing and tastes phenomenal. I feel great, My aches and pains have subsided, the effects take place quickly but not suddenly. There is a nice even onset to the relaxed state. This is my first review of this strain but I've had this strain multiple times for all of the above reasons. Definite keeper, 5/5 stars.
