Lovely citrus wheatgrass scent. Perhaps my favorite strain ever. Somehow this one gives me focus, energy, and full arousal, yet still doesn’t interfere with my sleep too much.

This that giggly giggly weed. Gives enhanced body sensations and a relaxed mind. Inoffensive scent, just dank enough.

This is some good weed for creativity, conversation, and relaxation — just the right amount of each. A chill sativa that isn’t too hoppy. Won’t make you too wound up, just enough.

Excellent relaxation weed. My end-of-week wind me down strain. Strong but pleasant scent. A little goes a long way.

Worst scent of any strain ever. Smelled more like garlic and ash than weed. Over four days of trying this, I never got a solid high, until I got to the bottom of the joint on day 4. On that day, my high was very nice in the body but still more of a head high. I smoked this via a THC Design brand pre-roll, labeled “voted best pre-roll” by LA Weekly and other publications, but it doesn’t prove why. I was very underwhelmed with this.

Solid contender for top indica-dominant weed. Smoked via a Chela brand pre-roll. This one is perfect for adjusting the mood and winding down for the end of the day without causing feelings that are too weird or too tired. Just mellow.

This is a solid indica leaning strain. I smoked this via a Chela brand pre-roll. Excellent for fixing your mood and winding down for the day without making you super sleepy too quickly.

Took one puff of a Chela brand pre-roll as I’ve never had this strain. What a subtle and fun body high. Skonky, almost a faint onion-garlic taste, sneak-up-on-ya head-high. I’m sure more than one puff would be amazing but this is strong and just one is all I needed to do the trick.

I have mixed feelings about Lilac Diesel. I bought a Chela brand pre-roll of this strain and smoked one hit and waited about 5 minutes. I didn’t feel as much as I hoped, so I hit once more, noticing some of the natural resin seeping through the weed paper. Seeing that, I realized I’d probably get a solid hit. PROS: The next 2 hours, intending to edit some of my current in-progress music, I instead listened to unfinished music, joyous and enamored, with no criticisms of the music. I ENJOYED EVERYTHING I HEARD AND REALIZED HOW I HOLD TOO MUCH CONTROL OVER MY CREATIVE OUTCOMES. I was inspired and happy, albeit a bit paranoid to touch my creative tools. CONS: I’m fine with a head high usually, but this one gave me a lot of pressure between my eyebrows and was much stronger than what I expected. This is one of the only strains I’ve had that made me drag the next day. I had very little energy, desire, joy, or focus. I was anxious and critical. IN SHORT, THE NEXT DAY MY SYMPTOMS WERE EXACERBATED. I think this strain is likely best for folks who have a high tolerance and need a strong dose. In the future, I’ll reserve this strain only for a day that is intended for creative consumption rather than creative execution.
