Method of consumption - Flower; Smoking. ---- Smell - I will divvy this category up in three pieces; Full flower, grounded up flower, and smoke. Full – Sour Diesel lives up to its’ name. It’s smelly, sour, and definitely pungent. It’s not a strain you want to carry and hide with at the same time. Ground – Here, I thought the full bud was stinky. I was awfully wronged. My face immediately lit up as I work at the grinder. I knew what I’m going to have from the smell alone. Smoke – I am not a fan of gasoline/ kerosene in terms of scent, but oddly the combination of herb and diesel is okay in my books now. It’s an acquired “scent”, I suppose. Haha. ---- Taste – This strain isn’t something you want to savor when it comes to taste. It’s bitter beyond belief. However, I occasionally can detect a faint citrus profile. It’s also mildly spicy. ---- Effect – Sour Diesel is, actually, my first sativa strain to try. Ever. I only had hybrids or indicas. I don’t know what to expect of a sativa. The head high was immediately evident after few hits. It was uplifting and intellectually stimulating. Almost a euphoric ecstasy, if you will. I felt the need to stay busy; Alert, creative, and restless. I’m tidy person, but I could do an entire house spring cleaning easily, twice, with this strain. I can imagine this could pair up well with breakfast on the go. (Maybe not with coffee.) Or, when you need a little pick-me-up after a long day, this would work. Did help with my pain, but not as much. I’d like to believe it’s possibly because it’s not noticeable like the head high it was giving me. I’m not even mad because I still feel great after the buzz is gone. Every time. (I need to clarify; I don’t give a strain a solo chance. I had, around, four to five grams of this.) Although, I need to put a warning label for this because… If you overdo it with Sour Diesel, you’ll regret it. This strain can cause anxiety attacks, paranoia, and general uncomfortableness. Fortunately, I didn’t have an attack but I did feel weirded out and a bit paranoid. Lesson learned, but at most it’s easily cured by sleeping it off or allow yourself indulge into munchies. (Not necessarily a negative. Just an inexperienced move I made which could end up as a good tip/ lesson for others.) --- Negatives – [[DRY MOUTH]] -- Steel your throats up because this strain will claw at them like it’s nothing. I had a horrible case of dry mouth but, it was like a straight-from-the-bottle Scottish whiskey burn feel. And, don’t be surprised if you wake up with a feeling of your entire esophagus being caked with something. The dry mouth effect is honestly off the charts. Here’s a tip. I learned that I find it more manageable if I did, somewhat, smaller hits, replace the (drinking or bong, your choice) water with chilled / cold peppermint tea, or put an entire water bong in the freezer. --- Munchies – I’ll give it a 7.5 on the scale of 1 to 10. It’s medium high. Easily ignored if you wait for an hour or more, but at the same time it isn’t if you are hungry. --- Extra – Highly recommended for whoever are sativa lovers (I was referred to this by one), whoever needs to be up and going, whoever needs the creative boost, and such. This strain is also a “social” strain as well as it uplifts you up or fill you with funnies. Thanks to this strain, I now can believe that I’m more of a hybrid gal. I will continue to try more sativas in short (and long) future. Don’t get me wrong, this one is amazing. One of my top choices actually. My medical conditions are anxiety, Crohn's disease, insomnia, migraines, PTSD, and spinal injury (disc herniation).

Method: Flower in a pipe. Aroma: Strong, but it didnt smell like gasoline or anything (yay). Earthy, pleasant but in an attractive masculine way. 1/1 Star. Taste: Weed. Not it's fault due to the smoking method. It didn't taste awful so to balance things out: 1/2 Stars. Feel: Yes! I was a little crossed but this strain made for a good party strain. Very heady without locking you in thought loops. No anxiety triggered. I felt happy and energized. I was ready to brave the world and bare my soul (and my body, party was scantily clad and my nerves disappeared). 2/2 Stars! Ranking: Great time. Would smoke again. Nothing to write home about or go down in the books, personally. Total: 4/5 Stars.

my absolute favorite of everything i’ve tried! great taste and gives you an amazing body high. the best part is the warm fuzzy feeling my friend and i discovered you get in your belly, it’s like a cat is sleeping on your stomach. best high i’ve had and it doesn’t take much. packed a bowl and felt super great, and it was even better layered with my tangie cartridge in my pen

This strain is very energizing and induces creativity for artistic types. Great for daytime fun and parties, and one of my personal favorite strains.

This strain is excellent-nice lung expansion. The trichomes on my buds are beautiful and the terps offer a spicy and earthy aroma, I also catch fain hints of lemon from the limonene & black pepper from the plethora of caryophylene. Cop'd some from the CBD plus on North Meridian (north OKC) and they really have some top notch quality nugs. Lookin like straight outa High Times. Thank you CBD plus for finally bringing some quality product to OKC. I have found a new fav strain

Sour Diesel is one of the most classic American strains typically common in New York (as a medical patient) of course it gives the user a feeling of joy and at ease. It's great for users who suffer from depression or just need a little mood boost for there day. Nevertheless, sour diesel is definitely more than just a morning cup of joe for less experienced users or those who are taking larger dosages. Cheers- Ligma
