Jupiter OG

The lineage of this flower isn't too obvious. Jupiter Kush might be the same as Jupiter OG, but the jars I buy from Rythm say it's a cross of Chemdawg#4 and Goliath. I often find it around 28% + THC. It has a massive, deep-field head effect you can't ignore for at least an hour - even at 18% it hits hard and will stick around for a minute or two. It's strong as hell and requires experience to enjoy otherwise it might leave you stranded in space, but the ocean glow is out of this world here. It's that ribbon of light you see around the door from outside the room, standing in a dark hallway . . . yeah, but somewhere out beyond the asteroid belt. Medically it works wonders on my back and shoulder pain, and it relieves a lot of stress and tension. I'll be honest, you won't be coming back down to Earth for a while after a bowl of this, and you might end up crashing out afterward. I do get the sleepy/ paranoid problem some rec smokers have with it, but over the past two years Jupiter has actually become my favorite strain of all time, and that's coming from a guy who remembers smoking contender Granddaddy Purple from out of a hookah somewhere in St. Louis back in'08. Now I'm remembering that mundane afternoon I felt like I was apart of the sunlight glistening off the leaves overhead at a park ON JUPITER, that I was floating in a bright bubble of sunshine flames churning along with the breeze for miles all around me. Nah, I don't think I need to change my mind for a minute here.

I have a very physical job with long hours and lots of socializing, and also have a history of generalized anxiety and chronic pain from head and neck injuries. I just finished a grueling week and informed my girlfriend that I'm a "write off" for the remainder of the day due to a headache and physical and mental exhaustion. I picked up some Jupiter pre rolls yesterday and just smoked my first .5 joint. I usually prefer Sativa leaning hybrid, and this was my first time with Indica dominant. The effects are super chill mode with major pain reduction, and overall my body has relaxed where pain is no longer distracting and the concept of actually doing something or absolutely nothing is currently being pondered. I was 6/10 headache, 8/10 body pain, and 5/10 general anxiety. All three levels are down to two. I can now stand up and do some light yoga, whereas prior to smoking I was sore, tired, exhausted and couch bound for the day. If you want to take a big breath and then breathe out your week away then this is the strain for you.

24-dollar 8ths at Reverie 73 are a steal these days! An initial creamy first two puffs offset a heavy tea and effervescent citrus nose. As this burned down, the taste got spicy, almost like Red Hot cinnamon or Mike n' Ike cinnamon candy. I've been actively smoking for 3 years and this one had a high that I can only describe as a super-extended creeper. It felt odd at first, like a slow burn and in fact, I didn't feel much at all for the first hour, just a bit heavy-headed. But once I laid down and put some Steve Roach-like ambient music on, that's when this took off! My eyes got very heavy and the sleep was phenomenal! I initially gave this 3 stars but bumped it up to 4 given that the relaxation was as advertised. Good strain, not the greatest, but a nice end of week strain.
