durban poison is nice enough, especially if you like the taste of licorice, which i don't. it gave me dry heaves with every lung busting toke, but it was worth it to get high again. i'd grow it for novelty value as the taste is so authentic, but there are strains with better buzzes out there.
if you want a NICE potent strain that has a long lasting buzz that eventually builds to a low grade 24/7 permabuzz with no couchlock degredation after a month of wake & baking, try some $28 haze x skunk by high quality seeds. it's not the trippiest strain maybem but not shabby and is especially good for motivation as it only gives you lead eye with no noticeable body stone and it's awesome for pain relief. i literally lost up to 10 pounds in a month of blazing it (and quit drinking a 6 pack a night cold turkey on it) by simply tuning my hunger pangs out and focusing on raving about the strain online or doing various projects including masturbating.
as to shrooms, i literally meant mushrooms. when i was given a handful at a concert, i thought the buzz was a lot like kali mist. they weren't racy like KM, or trippy really as expected like KM isn't either, but the bliss factor was off the charts. i now have a clue what people mean when they talk about shrooms & peyote etc. in flowery transcendental terms because i've never felt so at peace with the universe. i walked home in the rain, something i'd avoid at all costs if possible without a rain coat, and just didn't care. it was all good. i was getting rained on because it was raining and it's supposed to rain to make plants happy, i like plants...
kali mist has the highest euphoria as well as energy level for any bud i smoked. i couldn't sit still on it and it didn't have the psychoactivity i craved, but it's a fun blissed out strain in it's own right. C99 is poor man's kali mist. i don't know about mosca's version though. it has both stony and trippy phenos unlike joey weed's textbook "clear headed happy motivation". i honestly believe if growers would just grow that and offer it to people, the indica market would collapse and mostly remain med users.
satori is supposed to be good, but i freakin' love me some 8 miles high! THAT, & not C99, was the first TRUE high i had in a long time except for a couple smoke sessions i couldn't score off. it has real psychoactivity and a playful happy buzz that's TOTALLY neutral in the energy department... no stone, but no race either. it's like the two traits were yanked out of the THC profile leaving a nice classy clean buzz not unlike lesser common hazes. all it took was 2 light hits of it and instead of building the buzz up, i couldn't resist putting tunes on and dancing the robot to them and even feeling like one with super precise body control. it's not a potent beatdown strain, but that's it's charm, it does no harm. everything is does is "just right" without being flashy, like delicious comfort food. it''s so 24/7 friendly, it might be the one strain i'd chose if i could only grow one even if i like more potent and/or trippy jack's cleaner 2, haze skunk & sweet haze more. i know if some noob that's never gotten high yet blazes it, they're not going to freak out like the chick that tried to jump out of a moving car once before i started blazing. it's like a really sexy woman playfully flirting with you to do something funner than whatever you were doing before. i'm getting it again as soon as it returns next year.
i'd bet chocolope is awesome tasting with an equally special buzz. i've smoked DNA sweet haze, lemon skunk & sour cream, and all three were clearly superior strains. in my experience with up to a dozen "average" fruity haze type strains, sweet haze jumps out as seriously better... nice and fruity, sticky ass buds you can throw at a wall like darts, and a more potent buzz that even has higher levels of trippiness. it does EVERYTHING just a little better than it's rivals that are plenty nice and enjoyable on their own. if either chocolope and cannalope haze sucked, i would be very surprised. i don't like getting stoned much, but as far as mids go, sour cream has an acceptable buzz that's not too stony with a seriously sexy flavor you just have to taste to believe. i think it reminded more of some kind of fruity cream cheese than sour, but that's fine. lemon skunk, on the other hand, looked fucking golden gorgeous with a nice virtually stone free euphoric buzz that embarrased the stonier skunk #1 i used to get for a minute in the late 90s. chocolope and cannalope are high, pun intended on my shopping list. i woulda gotten cannalope had i not just spent $150+ on next fall's gear already and choco if it weren't sold out.
i was thinking it would be cool to marry chocolope to tart cherry flavored buddha's sister for a chocolate covered cherry strain if only it worked out like that. i'd imagine the flavor to at least be distinctive and interesting.
so many great strains... so little time, money & space to try them. that's OK. JC2, haze skunk, sweet haze, 8 miles high & sativa trans-love are all any snob should need to be happy unless they're obnoxiously anal. i'd put ANY of those strains up against any of the stony street beasters that pollute almost every street corner outside mendocino.
i want to test A11g next to see if i should use it to replace C99 for my quest for fast indoor strains that are trippy with no couchlock and that finish fast. i have some holy smokes malawi gold beans i'd really like to try and speed up without using afghani as a 1st step building block. i always imagined 75% malawi & 25% C99 to be a really good strain that would be way better than skunk #1 because even 25% afghani is too much, but 100% C99 ain't feckin' shabby any day. if A11g is trippier and less racy, then it sounds like a better shrink ray.
i tell you though, i don't know what the flowering time is for sativa trans-love, but that shit is fucking AWESOME! it has a decent average haze kind of buzz, but it buds like you wouldn't believe! it left every other strain except blacklabel's masterkush auto in the dust for budding. as soon as i flipped it, it just stopped stretching and started budding a flat top without training. in just 30 days on an early flipped plant with probably 8 tops, i had about 1/2 an ounce or more of NICE smile inducing bud. i'm going to knock that shit & everything else i'm growing up with JC2 next grow, but have really high hopes for STL x (C99 x A11). the fast budding and better than C99 buzz crossed to to super fast finishing grimms ought to be really special.
i really liked the results i got out of super cali haze x C99bx. it was at least as good as a bunch of hazes and jacks i grew, in part from being a pride strain i'm sure, but that crossed with my C99xA11 male this spring should be really nice too. i'm considering that my "house C99" until i try the STL cross. that should improve productivity quite nicely. STL is the best freebie i've ever tried yet. i really loved the straight up grape flavor i got out of SCH, but it's a slower flowering auto where STL is like roadrunner on a tweak. THAT will be my "cash cropper" strain i bet.
i digress
Very similar to acid/lsd without the yucky come down.
