First bred by Jordan of the Islands, Cactus is an indica cross between Afghani and Northern Lights and is named after its vague resemblance to the pear cactus. Cactus buds are conic with knobby formations and emit an organic earthy aroma with citrus notes. This strain is known to be an adept painkiller, providing relief to aches and sore muscles as well as spasms and anxiety. Many describe Cactus as having uplifting, energizing effects. It has become a popular staple among the connoisseurs of Seattle, and was among the first place winners in the 2012 High Times Cannabis Cup.

This is Jimmy the Weed I make chocolate milk with my flower that metabolizes in 15 to 20 minutes on an empty stomach. Love the cactus of for pain. I save up to 75% by using flower and another 37 1/2 percent on my single dosage and 60% less of my daily dosage by infusing flower into my drinks with green tea and Willeys plant based full spectrum omega-3 liquid. Here is how I make it. In a small sauce pan add enough flower for 1000mg THC(small buds, do not grind) 5 bags of decaffeinated green tea and 8oz of organic unsweetened coconut milk (not the shelf stuff but refrigerator section) steep in hot water( just below boiling) for approximately 20 minutes.remove tea bags 2-3 at a time and strain into coffee pot. Turn up to boiling for a few seconds to insure decarbonization and pour through strainer into coffee pot. Do a wash with 19ozs of 2% milk squeeze out remaining juices. Stir in chocolate syrup to taste and pour equal amounts into 4oz mason jars and top off each one with 1/2 teaspoon of Willeys omega-3 liquid. The omega-3 works by attaching to CO2 receptors and will cause THC to metabolize 3-4 times more rapidly making it much more intense and lasting longer. Hope this helps you.

Being from the great state of AZ i was more inclined to try the Cactus, this state has a lot of them, i recently had the pleasure of finally trying it out... being the adventurous stoner that i am i decided the outdoors in the desert mountain right before sunset, i sit among the rocks and start grinding up the cactus, she instantly releases a heavy yet pungent citrus aromas with an earthy undertones, similar to fresh cut cacti. These buds are dense with a nice coat of tan trichs, the smoke has an amazing citrus pop, as the sun began to set the effects started to roll through my body with a relaxing yet euphoric high, as the last bits of sun shined through the desert this strain did the same and popped with a relaxing sedative body high, i felt as if my body was floating on clouds that relieved all my stress and anxiety... been to the desert lately? if not highly recommend the cactus
