The first time I tried Big Bud I was in Bothell Washington on a beautiful summer afternoon. After one fat joint in the park I woke up a few hours later with crusted drool on my face in my truck 🤣🤣🤣 my favorite strain of all times the first few tokes will force you to put it out you won’t be able to breath!! 🚀

The Intellectual Stoner here with my thoughts on Big Bud #2. It is an Indica dominant hybrid that I really liked. I was a big fan of Big Bud #4 so I was anxious to see what Big Bud #2 was all about. The first thing I noticed that was different was the color of the buds, these are so purple that they appear black. They are also full of orange hairs and crystals which make them look frosty. I thought they smelled great. I got both earthy and fruity scents from them. The buds I had were 27.0 and they tasted earthy with citrus and pepper that gave a slight nose tickle. It has a high that will make you relaxed and euphoric. It had me in da couch feeling no pain. I can see a high like this being good for insomnia and stress as well. Needless to say, I really liked this one and would highly recommend if you like a good Indica.

Had this strain only once a few years ago. Honestly one of the biggest buds I’ve ever held. Had big aspirations for a night of movies and video games, but I was passed out from 1 bowl half an hour later. Can’t find it anywhere since.

Strain great for chilling Like a usual Indica but because of small amount of sativa in it strain doesn't put to sleep straight away.So IT is well option for chilling with bro in home and watching some tv etc.

Their AIO live resin vapes are trash. The tip protector leaves a disgusting smell and taste of rubber that does not go away. I was very unsatisfied with this product. It was a waste of money!

Being a huge fan of creepers I had to try it, To best explain it I will quote Rod Serling. "There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone." That being said the head high just hits with a huge euphoric buzz that moves slowly through the body. This is the most relaxed I have been in week and I will finally be able to get a decent amount of sleep.

My boyfriend and me grew our own plants of this strain. the effect is exactly as its described; very relaxed and tingly feeling, and you'll have to make sure you've got munchies around! Also the taste is indeed very spicy and woody! 10 out of 10 would smoke again :)

Based on the reviews for “Big Bud” I experienced totally a different side of it. In Gauteng, SA I’ve been hitting the flower in my pipe (Not Indoor but Green House grown) and it makes me want to do things. Got really stoned at night before bed time and I found my self working in the garden during load shedding and I just didn’t want to go to bed. Had lots of fun lol and fell asleep easily when I did go sleep.

I smoked Big Buds for years (considering it was the only strain my friend sold) back in the mid and late 90s to early 2000s. I guess it dates me a little 🤷🏻‍♂️. I haven’t been able to get my hands on this strain as of late but this straight was nothing but fire 🔥 🔥 🔥.Definitely two hitter quitter type shit. Based on some of the reviews, I’m not too sure it’s the same legendary Cali strain that I remember from back in the days. This tasted super Danky and smelled skunky AF! It was always a clean happy high. It didn’t knock me out as most reviews described. To look at and smell these buds was the best! My boy would always hook me up with spears that were dense and COVERED in neon orange hair. It smoked so clean and always loaded with danky flavor. Big Bud take me back to Coachella when Roni Size, Ganstsrr and Rage played all in one night. It also reminds me of EDC when tickets were $40 dollars! Whenever we lit this up in a crowd, people were breaking their necks to find out where the hell that funk was coming from. The average person was still smoking stress that when we brought this out, they swore this was the shit Snoop and Dre were smoking. To be fair it was sticky icky, and had no stems and no seeds. Ah, nostalgia. If you can come across the real big bud, you will know when you see it. Buy that shit. Enjoy it and Love it.
