Colors here are quite spectacular. Up close, the nugs feature a beautiful array of purple accents. In fact, if you look at the grind photo below, you’ll see splashes of purple everywhere you look.
The Board of Pharmacy To Consider New Qualifying Medical Conditions For The Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program
My 2.83 gram bottle largely consisted of two large buds. In fact, these were the two largest nugs I’ve purchased at an Ohio dispensary thus far. Both nugs were quite dense, well cured, and around the size of a thumb.
This strain looks almost … alien. Like it was cultivated in a slightly different environment than your usual strain, and the results are a richer, more saturated bud, with stronger oranges. It’s really something beautiful to behold!
Sour Banana Sherbet is a stunning cannabis strain, with a classic “hippie bud” look to it, with more defined leaves, less density and brilliant colors.
Greens and oranges are hidden under a thick layer of creamy trichomes. These trichomes mute color quite a bit, but their stickiness suggests plenty of active chemical compounds.
Oranges bath over the greens, softening the sharper colors of the leaves, like purple and pine. Trichomes absorb this orange as well, giving the bud a slight amber hue.
This strain reminds me of a superhero — appearing one way in an action setting, and another way in a personal setting. In this case, Forest of Azure actually smells different before and after grinding.
It’s a no-brainer to legalize cannabis on the federal level. We’ve written about legalization a few times already. And it’s very easy to get excited when the House even remotely touches a cannabis legalization bill. It’s even more extraordinary when one makes it to a committee for review.
But that legalization bill has a long way to travel. And that road … it’s gonna have a dead end.
This strain is a creeper. I felt very little after vaping my first bag, but that slowly transformed as a relaxing headband effect rolled over my temples, soothing tension and easing my anxiety.
Greens and oranges are hidden under a thick layer of creamy trichomes. These trichomes mute color quite a bit, but their stickiness suggests plenty of active chemical compounds.
Impressive mixture of amber pistils and creamy trichomes. The pine green leaves are absolutely covered here, barely visible beneath the dreamy sea of pearly white.
Euphoria comes in strong bursts of energy that helped get me through the day, completing chores and last minute tasks. This one is great for focus, but won’t keep you up at night.
What’s immediately noticeable is just how well trimmed this strain is compared to some others on the market. There’s no excess leaves or even thick stems —
A rich palette of stark colors and dazzling complexity. Trichomes like chilly frost in the morning, binding to the leaves in perfect symbiosis.

A real stunner up close, with a rich array of colors, from bright amber hues to inky pine greens. Each cola lives up to its name, accented by an explosion of deep, rich purples.
Method of cultivation is greener, using far less water and energy than traditional grows. The facility even utilizes a proprietary LED light setup that uses less energy and speeds up his harvest time.
Like a cup of coffee, this sativa will give a jolt to your mind and body without throwing you into couchlock or overloading your senses
This strain is striking, to say the least. It features a wide array of colors on the surface of the colas ranging from rich, inky purples hiding throughout the nugs, to lush pine greens and grass greens on the leaves.
A wonderfully soothing experience that provided the tools I needed to unwind after a very tough week.
One of those strains that tastes like it smells. … subtly sweet, followed by a tiny hint of pine, adding a peppery aftertaste. …finished by a smooth floral accent, almost like fresh daisies.
These syringes are more economical than disposable vape pens, slightly better for the environment.
I was shocked by how much flavor was packed into just one drag!
The initial fruity bursts of this strain are perfectly complemented by the floral accents provided by the Myrcene terpene. Caryophyllene adds in a refreshing clove-like aroma that brings forward the citrus notes.
As the death tolls rises to nearly two dozen souls, the vaping crisis has reached a media fever pitch. Health officials at the FDA and CDC are cracking down on vaping and vaping products.
Forbidden Zkittles boasts a gorgeous palette of lush greens and burnt oranges. In fact, the orange hues are almost erased by the darker amber of the pistils. Up close, they almost look like frayed ropes.
Trichomes fill each bud cola, bathing the oranges and greens in a proverbial forest of frothy white and creamy yellows, accented by orange pistals (of which there are many). Green hues peak out every so often, but take a back seat compared to the color of the trichomes.
