I first tried Buddhas Sister in Amsterdam at the Dampkring Coffeeshop. I actually didn't like it much at first since I was trying to roll while on a canal boat and it was a bitch to shred with my fingers. Then I realized that my fingers were covered in this seriously stinky oil, I smelled like a skunk. I finally got the unit finished, lit it up and enjoyed a nice canal boat tour. The colors seemed a bit more vivid, straight to the head, leveling off after 45 minutes, while the body high kicks into place. Super clear high, tasted like a cross between a cherry sweet tart and a vintage skunk. I did not finish that joint until the next morning at Barneys. I pulled it out of the tube and looked at it in the light, it was serious resin dripping through the paper. I only managed to finish half the night before.
when you need to evaluate your emotional status
sweet little strain that had me feeling happy, relaxed, and just plain chill. This is a functional but still groovy high.
Since my last review of this strain, I've picked up a couple batches of Buddha's Sister testing above 20% THC (as all medical cannabis should *coughNETAcough*) and I have to say, I'm confused. Personally, I need very strong medicine for chronic pain and insomnia. I love and prefer strains topping out at 30% active content (not that this batch was, only 23%), but this strain seems to better fit it's own name at lower potencies. At the low potency I tried (16%-ish), it is a very calm, uplifting strain. Good for pain during the day, but if you want to sleep you certainly can.
The higher potency batches I had are more like Buddha's angry sister who doesn't meditate and came to fight. The uplifting qualities transform into a more psychedelic state that comes on very strongly and rapidly, accompanied by the racy-ness of sativas. When the psychedelic state wears off it comes off very quickly, seeming to take away any medical qualities with it. On the 16% THC batch I could smoke a bowl and have a full 4 hours of good medicine. On the higher THC, it seems to wear off after about 2 hours which is weird as hell.
Overall, I do really like this strain. However, I am going to be weary of the more potent harvests from now on. Too much of a sativa effect to be of any medical benefit. But the lower ones are perfect
This is my favorite strain for relaxing without being couch-locked, lifting my mood, and helping with mild anxiety (not panic attacks). This strain is really well-founded. It allows for conversation, creativity, spontaneity, and medium muscle relaxation without feeling sleepy.
My partner is just opening up to trying weed again, and she really likes this one for easing her daily worries and not feeling overly drugged. The high lasts about an hour--we thoroughly went through one full bowl of this on a Boundless CF, her going two rounds and me four. I was pleasantly comfortable from 8ish to bedtime at 11. Slept great, too.
One of my favorite indicas due to how versatile it is. It works absolutely well for both trouble falling/staying asleep as well as PTSD nightmares, not to mention it makes me more giggly. It even works well in small doses in the morning/afternoon to take stress off (even if it won't help focus you or energize you). It tastes great and has a nice aftertaste to it too, plus the smell (in my experience) isn't overwhelming or strong that, with proper precautions, no one else aside from you should be able to smell it that easily. The only downside (which I don't consider it to be much of one at all) is that the more high off this you get, the harder it is to talk to people or keep up with something someone is saying. Found that out the hard way saying good night to my girlfriend for a couple of nights.
Mmmm, this feels like wrapping up in a warm blanket with a cup of hot cocoa while it's gently snowing outside. Wonderful for body relaxation, a gentle elating effect and a general sense of ease. Great 'right-before-bed' strain.
Great strain. A very long high, its relaxing and calming. Definitely lightens my mood. Delayed high
