Takes a few minutes to kick in, but when it does it’s very nice. Effects are mostly sativa, I say mostly because I have yawned and gotten tired before off of this strain, which never happened for me with the sativa dominant hybrids so that was different, it’s a nice experience. I would definitely call this strain unique in terms of its effects. Taste is pretty good, definitely a sweet and almost citrus taste (I’m using a cartridge so buds may be different) combined with the classic earthy type taste.

Clear-headedness. Focused. Motivated. Eager even. I felt happy, not ecstatic, just quietly joyful.

wow, what a great strain. Soon after medicating you will feel a nice rush go into your head. Then a nice warm feeling but nothing too much that you can't function. Very alert. A+

I like this but for me personally it was better for a night with wine. Made me a little anxious in the morning with coffee. But I was able to do a lot of cleaning with the combo of a glass of wine and a hit!

This strain is definitely probably the best sativa I have ever had. The closest I've ever come to it is, first, Light of Jah followed by Durban Poison and Jet Fuel (out of CO). The high is Divine. At the right dose the clarity of mind it facilitates and the ease of settling deeper into a state of what I call "aware mindfulness"; being mindful without effort. It's like something that the mind is being focused on that is out of focus at the same time. It's paradoxical. I often do not like sativa's because they tend to give me a bit of anxiety, especially at higher doses, for instance with Chemdawg. I get a little too euphoric and a somewhat overwhelmed. My mind can also race. Because I have a bit of Mania that's not good either. A creative drive sometimes happens at times but the other challenging factors compete and often overwhelm it. With the right dose I feel that less although sometimes my thoughts still race. Take all that away and leave what we all love about sativa and you have this strain in spades. Almost all head but just bliss up there man. Savy?

The strain, is really good for early morning headache relief. It's soft easy smoke, pairs well with a coffee. The high isn't super cerebral, however does offer the heady motivational style effects of a typical sativa. The hind doesn't hit you all at once, it's a slight creeper. The high lasts a decent length I'd say about an hour. Maybe more but not much. I found it helps me deal with the waking up anxiety that comes with PTSD. Overall I give it a four out of five

I generally stay away from Sativas but this stuff has a great energetic high with no paranoia or anxiety. Unfortunately the buzz only lasts an hour or so and then you have to just keep smoking. I wish someone would cross this with something to extend the high, it gets expensive smoking 1/2 gram an hour all day. I got mine from Botanico THC is 28% but in Colorado that percentage is a worthless stat because dispensaries can be off +/- 15% from what is listed on container so there's no real way of knowing. A 15% range of error is HUGE as we all know and of course the dispensary is going to print the high end percentage to increase sales
