Pineapple Express - (Apparel Available Online In Our Store!)

by ~p

Type:  Sativa

Grade:  A

Smell:  pineapple, chocolate, citrus

Taste:  pineapple comes through up front followed by a nice even pallate of flavor.

Effect Type:  PE is a Sativa dominant strain with a comfortable mix of nearly the complete matrix of medicinal-cannabis therapy applications.  Mild cognitive-stimulation is accompanied with relaxing mild-sedation, appetite-stimulation, and antiemetic properties commonly found in nearly all cannabis specie.

Effect Length:  1.5hr

Overall:  dense bud structure, covered in trichomes…this has earned it’s well-established reputation.  Famous on the west coast of the United States as a mainstay of any good medicinal dispensary

Pineapple Queen - (Apparel Currently In Design)

by ~p

Type:  Sativa

Grade:  A

Smell:  lavender, honey, mint, and bright citrus,

Taste:  Obvious undertoes of sweet-pineapple, green and light/smooth 

Effect Type:  more of a head/cerebral effect for me70/30 head/body.  Having a dominant Sativa matrix of cannabinoids, Pineapple Queen, and it's slightly less potent 'daughter' Pineapple Princess, can be effective in medical treatment of mild depression, lethargy, symptoms of ADHD, and as an antiemetic to relieve nausea and vomiting symptoms.

Effect Length:  1.hr

Overall:  pineapple queen has a very pleasant smell, there’s a hint of pineapple, but she mostly exudes a very refined 'kind bud' aroma, commonly found in other 'designer' medicinal-grade Sativa's.

Blueberry - (Apparel Currently In Design)

by ~p

Type:  Indica

Grade:  A

Smell:  fresh-cut lawn, rosemary, blueberry smell noticeably absent.

Taste:  nothing in particular, very subtle and smooth, many nuances, hard to pin down

Effect Type:  Noticeably effective analgesic properties, good for mild pain relief.  I found a 3-5 minute lag between ingestion and relief of pain symptoms.

Effect Length:  1.5hr

Overall:  isn’t a huge stand-out, isn’t very aromatic, but is highly effective medicine for particular applications.

Mendocino Purps - (Apparel Available Online In Our Store!)

by ~p

Type:  Indica

Grade:  A

Smell: Very subtle 'purple' or grape-like undertones (remarkable because the flowered medicinal-buds have no dark or purple color as one might expect) Citrus- lime overtones, it's similar to the aroma when you pour Gatorade powder mix into a container and smell the dusty Gatorade powder a little.  Makes your nose tingle a little, and has a light 'airy' presence to it's overall aroma.  Lemon/limeade and a trace of wispy green scent-not quite pine or evergreen- make this light a room up.

Taste:  Green and spicy

Effect Type:  An Indica-dominant hybrid with very well balanced theraputic effects common to both subspecies. Light heady/cerebral effect balanced with prevolent appetite-stimulant/analgesic/sedative effects, but I don’t feel lazy or 'couch locked'. A nice break from hyper-cerebral Sativas. Not the best for mornings, as it can delay the start of your day considerably. Amazing for relaxing and putting to rest sore muscles. In my experience, the medicinal effects eventually dissolve, bringing some solid 'munchies' to my otherwise fleeting appetite for food.

Effect Length:  I administer about every 1.5 hours after work is done…the effect probably lasts a little longer, but that’s the time of day where all tasks are completed, the pajamas are on & the bed awaits. 

Overall:  Dense light green nuggage, medium-sized trichomes are visible but not coating the medicine like 'snow'.  The aroma is incredibly amazing, MP could be one of my all-time favorite aroma's simply because of the 'illusion' created from smelling distinct grape/purple scents, while the buds show no sign of purple or dark discoloration common with any other 'Purple' strain.

Chem Dawg - (Apparel Currently In Design)

by ~p

Type:  Sativa-Hybrid

Grade:  A

Smell:  Nothing super-smelly even when ground, though that is not a negative in my book. 

Taste:  Lightly mint and lightly and very faintly sour…not very intense smell or taste.  Very mild on those fronts, slightly sweet on the finish.

Effect Type:  Typical and classic Sativa cognitive/cerebral effects which quickly (within 15 minutes or so) give way to a prototypical Indica relaxing effect. About a 60/40 split between body/head effects.

Effect Length:  1.5 hr

Overall:  Nice dense bud structure, with some trichomes on the outside and many on the inside.  Chem Dawg has a fast onset of action when compared with other medicinal strains.

After reviewing both Chem Dawg and Mendocino Purps; they are both great in their own right.  However, I have been mixing these two in equal parts and I love the resulting 'mix'.  I noticed yesterday, about 30 seconds after administering, that I tasted Kung Pow sauce- no joke!  My personal opinion is the sum is better than either of the two medicinal-strains administered separately.
