Tahoe OG

12/3/2024
Now that I don't have to skulk around in back alleys to find dope I can't really identify (60's girl) it's been great to be able to find this strain for my arthritis pain. As I age, I also have trouble sleeping sometimes. Not anymore. This was a vape from a very reliable dispensary near Boston (Diem). I wait until evening, and start the process. A single hit brings on a euphoria I've never felt from an indica before, very immediate. Yum. I have no doubt in my mind that I would be a sitting duck for oxycodone addiction if I had to take serious pain medication for long. I think Tahoe OG would take the edge off nicely. And, if I did have to take narcotics, strains like this would make withdrawal much easier. A few minutes after the first hit, I get creative. I love to make AI images and cartoons. The best ones have been made with this strain. Then in an hour, I take another, and I will sleep through the night. A five-star experience.

Red Headed Stranger

I have very high tolerance to most strains. I had this one as a vape. I'm an old toker so I'm comparing this strain to ones that go back to the 70's - tough acts to follow. In two draws of RHS I was in a warm euphoric bath. So rare for me to go there. A third draw and I was giggling helplessly over something someone said. Also hard to go there for me, a chronic pain, PTSD patient. I stopped there (for awhile) because I didn't want to get anxious, pure sativas like this can sometimes do that. Not a tiny bit of that, and I never had a single paranoid thought. None of that. I was able to get some writing done, and I had some great ideas for how my story should be written. After about an hour of creative thinking I found myself wanting another draw, it took me right back to the warm bath stage. This almost never happens for me to be able to recreate a high. Red Headed Stranger will be on my go to strain shelf.

Fernway - Mandarin Orange 0.5g Vape Cartridge (S)

6/27/2024
Very veteran smoker, very high tolerance. This is my morning smoke. I have chronic arthritis pain. This smoke is like oxy on a stick (vape pen). It sets me up for the day, First hit - huge euphoria, second hit more of the same. It will be a good idea to pause here, don't get greedy if you smoke too much at one time you may become irritable and a bit anxious. Over time I've learned to keep a good quality CBD tincture around, a squirt will take the edge off that sativa high. It is a powerful high. The pain relief lasts for a couple of hours. Later in the day I'll migrate to a good indica like granddaddy purple. Good Night.

I am a veteran cannabis consumer. My medical needs are a long list with pain at the top. Relentless arthritis everywhere. I have severe stress from a solid year of excruciating pain waiting for surgery. I use CBD for inflammation, it helps but it's hard to measure how much. It's the high THC strains that help the most with my symptoms. On rare occasions I've been known to overdo the sativa. This strain is no exception. Sip it. First hit, instant euphoria and my shoulders drop (a good sign that this is going to be a good one). I use it as a Fernway vape. I also like their "mandarin orange" with the same results and the same cautions. The high (for me) is short lived though, I seem to need to reach for the pen more than I'd like. But maybe that's just the high tolerance talking.

In day time I enjoy a good sativa. I picked AF up as a two-fer, my dispensary in Lynn, MA has great deals. I like to experiment with entourage effects. By about mid-day, I usually pick up an indica; this time, I tried AF to layer over the sativa. I wanted to document how I felt with the two overlapping strains. Well, the first 2 draws of AF made it so I couldn't remember what I was trying to write about. It progressed to a complete divorce from ambition, motivation, competition, and any other annoying stressful things PTSD anxiety drags me through. Strains like this are great for "what if" thinking. What if my sister dies, what if I get old and can't take care of myself, blah blah. AF makes it "la, la, la, lahhh, la la", if that makes any sense.

L'Orange

6/2/2024
Rhythm is a great brand - they seem to start with really good strains when they create oils for vaping. And the strains are derived from really good flower. This is an observation only, but I'm a long-time toker with very high tolerance and L'Orange is a very pleasant surprise. I picked it up in a MA dispensary as a two-fer, I wasn't familiar with the strain but thought I'd give it a try. I'm a PTSD person, much better now thanks, but still have symptoms. Two hits from this vape and I was happily euphoric. I was watching an old 50's sci-fi movie and I just started to giggle and couldn't stop. It was a Ray Harryhausen stop-motion monster movie. Terrific film just made me laugh so hard my stomach hurt. This is just what the doctor ordered, literally. Forget the stupor-inducing big pharma drugs, this is the best afternoon I've had in forever. Happy and still giggling after 2 hours. Not for the novice, not 15% as listed on the leafly page, THC more like 24%. Pace yourself, and not for just before bed.

Lucky

3/24/2024
i'm reporting on Lky Charmz - a little Ozone vape pen that is so great I don't know where to start. Leafly led me to Lucky as the closest strain to my little Ozone pen. I have been searching for an Indica leaning vape that doesn't put me to sleep, but rather provides euphoric calm that you can function with. Enter (drum roll) Lucky Charms, however you spell it. It may just be a St. Patty's Day special (tears flowing). I cannot lie, I am a veteran (read 75 years old) smoker with a very high tolerance for anything that even remotely resembles a narcotic. This little pen though, with the Lky Charmz strain was an immediate (first pull) euphoria with tingles, sort of like ice cream with sprinkles. It progressed to shoulder-dropping calm, without the desire to go to bed. The bed part comes later - after 5 pulls (not for beginners) - you're ready for bed and amorous adventures. If your partner is participating by smoking from your little Ozone pen, the two of you will have a splendid evening. Enjoy!

Mandarin OG

2/11/2024
I call the Fernway Mandarin Orange vape pen "oxy on a stick". It has become my first-thing-in-the-morning strain. It's very powerful even for this high tolerance hippie throwback. I have a severe genetic form of arthritis that has destroyed all of my large joints, all of my joints for that matter. 3 hits of Mandarin causes instant euphoria, a powerful head high, puts my head above the pain mountain. It lasts a respectable amount of time and creates a window of opportunity for me to actually get things done. The pain stops shrieking long enough to be able to move. Then when work is done, and if it's still before noon, take another hit or two, everything will become very funny, and music will sound great. This is not for beginners but if you hurt, try it.

Diem Cannabis - Lynn

8/30/2023
This is my go-to dispensary. It's always about the people (and the prices). Diem has both. Their reputation for good bud has spread. Ask for Ivan, he will lead you to the perfect solution for your challenges. Their recommendations have brought me to almost pain-free. Thanks Diem! Cannabis is the first medicine to actually work for me.

Chemdawg

6/18/2023
I'm on a mission to find relief for severe arthritis pain and inflammation. Also to sleep through the night. I've been using a sativa leaning hybrid and it's worked only ok. I tried Chemdawg in a vape yesterday (about to do it again). Not quite instant but close. One hit and my shoulders sagged. At the same time, my head tingled and oddly, my eyesight got better. I have glaucoma, but there's no real way to know if that's what's happening here. Glaucoma pressure relief can happen with cannabis, but I don't think eyesight itself can be improved. But there it is, I'm seeing more clearly. Another hit or two and ahhhhhh. Pain relief at last. I'm still interested in getting some writing done, and I think this will be one of those great strains that lets you find relief without losing time and with nothing to show for it. And suddenly I don't care if I have something to show for anything. Not just today but for all time. And I'm now laughing really hard at my own cleverness......... Great strain.
