I was a non-believer. I figured all of this talk about different strains for different issues was total BS, just another excuse to get high. Until I had the Sweet Isle Skunk. I am a 52 year old private equity professional on Wall Street, suffering from extreme neurological pain in my feet and legs. Nobody can figure it out, been to a half dozen specialists. My high-end concierge MD, finally  gave up on all the terrible things we were trying (like real narcotics) and said we should try the cheeba. I have been trying different strains, and sure when I am on them my legs don't bother me. But I can't get anything done. Until Sweet Island. I did some in a pre-filled vape pen yesterday and it was like I was in this perfect zone of pain relief and great motivation. I am writing all of this so that if you are like me, initially a huge skeptic, maybe I can save you some time. Stop thinking about this subject in the way it has been force fed to you. Use your head, try it out, tell a friend. We all know people who would be better off with this plant if they could just get over themselves. I did.

Had me saying "Dis be some good shit here, mon" in a Bob Marley voice with a great big f-cking smile on my face about 15 mins in.

Sooooo smooth.  Go easy, she sneaks up on you in a major way.  You *think* you're there, but you're not!  Not yet! And it just... keeps... getting... better.  Wow.  

Perfect for movie/music/cleaning/getout/whatever. Motivated but laid back, if that makes any sense.  

Everything's just beautiful, mon!  

Seriously, this is *precisely* the kind of ganja you'd expect to smoke in Jamaica or somewhere tropical.  

Just enough of the Skunk heritage here that the pain packs its bags along with you.  You can practically feel the pain, stress and worry just slip away into the deep orange and crimson sunset as you watch the waves roll in on your own personal Sweet Island Skunk paradise.

Called "Sweet Skunk" at my dispensary. Watch Out!  Pain free + Energy = Activity. Glad I bought it.  1st time very heady, not focussed or motivated.  2nd, 3rd, and 4th times, was quite energised and motivated, got a lot done. Very heady, but not aware of pain. Careful not to try doing too many chores, I felt the consequences later!

Extremely energetic, clear mind and strong focus. At 2% CBG, this medicine had all the energy without the anxiety.

Island Sweet Skunk ... like wearing rose colored glasses and sipping on a triple shot latte ... with a chaser of Prozac.

Migraine pain 5-6; nausea 8 when I medicated round uh 1230 or so? Takes bout 10 min to start working. Pain gone. Extreme fatigue/nausea all but gone. This strain actually helped wake me up after a horrible night's sleep; it was wonderful! Nausea scale after medicating 3-4? It's been alarmingly bad tho. Body high allowed me to eat a small breakfast. Weed is the only way I've been eating or keepin any kind of weight on. Head high kept me chatty which only annoyed my hubby cuz he likes his TV shows. Otherwise I might be in the ER right now. Literally saved my @$$! I have a feeling this' an excellent worker bud but I have not been feeling very well. Highly recommend for daytime use for pain/nausea/fatigue! :-)

Did anyone mention aroused? Or is it just me-again? Mmm. Sativa. Yes. Motivated,  abso fucking lootley. However, not in a go make widgets in the factory sense, but a very creative sing at the top of your lungs, notice a cute boy checking out your ass, giggling about it, dreaming of a weiner dog farm, kicking in a rusty wooden saloon door with a cup of tea in your hand type of motivation. But yes, she's all they say she is. Especially in large amounts. Go balls to the wall, and be prepared for the ride. Definitely ready for contact sports. Energetic, but relaxed. It's great for that. Whatever type you're into. I give it a resounding: fuck yes. Oh and if anyone cared to stick around for this part: an excellent medicine to boot! Great pain relief and medicinal benefits. You can feel it. At least I can. So take my word for it: this is good for you, and a good time!  Two sour gummy worms with one girl stoned. As they say....or something like that. Right?
