Island Sweet Skunk will never, ever, put you to sleep. Plan on being active because it's impossible to sit still on it. 
Sweet Island Skunk will put you on the couch. These 2 are completely different strains.

<p>Appalachian Power by Soulshine Cannabis is a potent sativa-dominant strain with a rich genetic lineage. By crossing The Appalachian (Grape Punch x <a href="/strains/lifesaver">Life Saver</a>) with The Power (<a href="/strains/island-sweet-skunk">Island Sweet Skunk</a> x <a href="/strains/white-widow">White Widow</a>), Appalachian Power was born. With a deep roster of genetic varieties at its back, it&rsquo;s no surprise that Appalachian Power&rsquo;s aroma and flavor offer a unique and rewarding palate of grape, banana, and pineapple. The effects pack a stimulating kick that is not for the faint of heart. It can cause mild paranoia in the uninitiated, but if the dosage is respected, this strain can suit all manner of physical activity and combat lethargy.</p>

<p>We&#8217;re officially a couple weeks into 2015, and most of you may have already abandoned your New Year resolutions. If you&#8217;re already feeling discouraged, don&#8217;t fret &#8212; with a new year often comes a time for making a positive change in your life. Whether you&#8217;re struggling with your own resolutions or haven&#8217;t thought of any to commit to, we at Leafly came up with a few of our own cannabis-themed resolutions for 2015:</p>
<h2 class="heading--l py-md">1. Try a New Strain</h2>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore#/explore/category-indica">Indica</a></strong>? <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore#/explore/category-sativa">Sativa</a></strong>? Or maybe explore some delicious <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore#/explore/category-hybrid">hybrids</a></strong>! Try something outside the norm for you, whether it&#8217;s a new strain type, flavor, or effect. If you&#8217;re prone to couchlock, try an <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore/tags-energetic">energetic</a></strong> strain and take a walk. If you&#8217;re all about sativas, pick up a <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore/tags-relaxed">relaxing</a></strong> indica or hybrid strain and spend a night in. Whatever you usually lean towards, change it up this year and see if you can <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore">find a new strain that you love</a></strong>.</p>
<h2 class="heading--l py-md">2. Get More Involved on the Political Scene</h2>
<p>No more slacktivism! Advocate for legalization in your area. If you already live in a <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/stateoftheleaf">state with legal access</a></strong>, work on improving laws where you live or get involved in supporting legalization efforts in surrounding states. Here are some areas that could use your support:</p>
<ul class="list-disc mb-lg ml-xl ">
<li><strong style="line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><a class="underline" href="http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/Home.aspx">Texas</a></strong></li>
<li><strong style="line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><a class="underline" href="http://showmecannabis.nationbuilder.com/join">Missouri</a></strong></li>
<li><strong style="line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><a class="underline" href="http://iga.in.gov/legislative/find-legislators/">Indiana</a></strong></li>
<li><strong style="line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><a class="underline" href="http://www.regulatemarijuanainnevada.org/">Nevada</a></strong></li>
<li><strong style="line-height: 20.7999992370605px;"><a class="underline" href="http://www.unitedforcare.org/petition">Florida</a></strong></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="heading--l py-md">3. Defy a Stoner Stereotype</h2>
<p>There are plenty of <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/news/lifestyle/7-ways-to-defy-the-stoner-stereotype">stoner stereotypes</a></strong> that persist today. This year, do your part to dissolve them by showing the naysayers that you can be a cannabis consumer and a responsible adult. Whether you sign up for a marathon, volunteer at a non-profit, or land that corporate job interview, these simple actions go a long way in surprising anti-cannabis people and showing them that cannabis users don&#8217;t all fit under the same category.</p>
<h2 class="heading--l py-md"><span style="line-height: 1.2em;">4. Get Healthy, Educated, and Motivated</span></h2>
<p>This year, find new and healthier ways to consume cannabis. For example, have you tried <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/news/products/how-does-vaporization-work">vaporizing</a></strong>? It&#8217;s <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/news/products/vaping-versus-dabbing-why-you-should-care-about-heat">better for your lungs</a></strong> <em>and </em>you can use the leftover cannabis to <strong><a href="https://www.leafly.com/news/lifestyle/recipe-how-to-make-basic-cannabutter">make canna-butter</a></strong>! Need some help picking out a vaporizer? Check out our <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/news/products/conduction-vs-convection-the-vaping-basics">four considerations when buying a vaporizer</a></strong>.</p>
<p>You can also supplement cannabis with your new healthy habits. Need to clean your house? Try <a href="http://www.leafly.com/hybrid/martian-mean-green">Martian Mean Green</a> or <a href="http://www.leafly.com/sativa/jacks-cleaner">Jack&#8217;s Cleaner</a>! Looking for some creative inspiration? Try <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/hybrid/j1">J1</a> </strong>or <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/sativa/island-sweet-skunk">Island Sweet Skunk</a></strong>! Going for a hike or a yoga session? Try<strong> <a href="http://www.leafly.com/sativa/super-silver-haze">Super Silver Haze</a></strong> or <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/sativa/cinex">Cinex</a></strong>!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t just get your body healthy, work on your mind health, too! Educate both yourself and others on <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/news/medical/the-medical-minute-three-unexpected-cannabis-benefits-prohibition">scientific benefits of cannabis</a></strong> (and why your cranky Aunt Mildred should support it, too!).</p>
<h2 class="heading--l py-md">5. Come Out of the &#8220;Cannabis Closet&#8221;</h2>
<p>If you do one big thing this year, consider coming out as a loud and proud cannabis consumer and supporter, not just to your friends who are &#8220;cool with it,&#8221; but to everyone, even Grandpa! Don&#8217;t be afraid to be pro-cannabis &#8212; it&#8217;s 2015, and we continue to see amazing progress in the cannabis movement. When people like you step up and say, &#8220;I am a cannabis consumer,&#8221; you&#8217;re showing the rest of the world that users come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and demographics. The best thing we can do to defy stoner stereotypes and the negative perception of the cannabis industry is shine a spotlight on the millions of diverse people who consume cannabis for a variety of reasons.</p>
<p>Time for you to weigh in: what are your 2015 cannabis resolutions? Do you plan to follow one of our five suggestions or do you have some of your own? Share your thoughts (and happy New Year)!</p>

What Are Your 2015 Cannabis Resolutions?

Moving to Canada Post-Election? Try These Canadian Strains When You Get There

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?

Strain: Sweet Island Skunk
Type: Sativa-Dominant (80% Sativa)
Genetics: Skunk #1 x Grapefruit
Notes: Long and wispy nugs a medium-dark green color, very sativa looking. Smell is very sweet, almost sugary, and mildly skunky. The smoke is smooth and has a sugary sweetness like the smell. High is very uplifted and energetic. I found myself with a content and happy disposition. Clear headed and manageable, just the right strength. Very good for stress, anxiety, and depression. Helped with creativity as well, good for making music. A strong head high behind the eyes and forehead is noticeable, and the body buzz is mild but very energetic. Music is mildly enhanced, but not as much as other strains. Buzz lasts a long time, about 1.5-2 hours. Somewhat lazy or mildly couch-locking if not moving around. Would be great for hiking or going for a bike ride. Really nice and relaxing. 9/10

<p>Skunk #1 is a hybrid strain that has influenced cannabis on a global scale, parenting a horde of <a href="/strains/lists/flavor/skunk">Skunk crosses</a> since it first bloomed in the late 1970s. Sacred Seed Co.&nbsp;originally bred Skunk #1 using diverse genetics from around the world;&nbsp;<a href="/strains/afghani">Afghani</a>, <a href="/strains/acapulco-gold">Acapulco Gold</a>, and <a href="/strains/colombian-gold">Colombian Gold</a>&nbsp;varieties converged through an intricate selective breeding process that spanned several generations, and finally the genetic cornerstone of countless cannabis hybrids was born.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The&nbsp;original&nbsp;Skunk #1 gave rise to several&nbsp;variations that<span style="line-height: 1.6em;">&nbsp;were later harvested in the gardens of Sensi Seeds, Dutch Passion, Flying Dutchmen, Nirvana Seeds, and Royal Queen Seeds.</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">&nbsp;As its name suggests, Skunk #1 buds radiate with an aromatic blend of sour </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">skunkines</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">s</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;"> and subtle </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">eart</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">hy</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;"> notes. This hybrid offers elevated </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">cr</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">eativity</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;"> through its </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">high-e</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">nergy</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;"> buzz, while </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">str</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">ess</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;"> and </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">appeti</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">te loss</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;"> melt away with Skunk #1&rsquo;s potency.</span></p>
