Maître Artisans(Permanent Gusher) by Terroir(Exka)

1. Packaging An opaque black plastic jar. The label lists the THC (29.5%), CBD (0.1%), and total terpene levels (2.8%). It also includes a list of dominant terpenes, the variety in rotation(Permanent Gusher), the packaging date (2026-04-20), and the mention "packaged in Quebec." A minimalist presentation, but the essentials are there. The jar contained a Boost, which I removed due to personal preference.

2. Appearance / Buds Two medium-sized, dense, and compact buds, not too dry/moist. The flowers have a nice appearance with an "indica" structure and forest green hues with hints of mauve beneath a lacy pattern of trichomes. Under a microscope, the trichomes are long and mostly intact. Smokes easily with a whitish ash and a resin ring.

3. Aromas/Terpenes Limonene, caryophyllene, myrcene. Good intensity on opening; it's gassy, chemical, earthy, and lemony. Grinding develops the gassy, earthy, lemony, and chemical notes. On a dry hit, the lemon dominates along with the earthy and chemical notes. On the palate, it translates well; it tastes like it smells. There's gassy, earthy, burnt rubber, chemical, lemon, and a subtle sweet note. A profile somewhere between Jealousy and Permanent Marker. The smoke is smooth and light.

4. Effects The effects come on slowly and gradually increase; I feel them "behind my eyes." My eyelids feel heavy, my body relaxes and becomes clumsy. Cerebrally, there's euphoria, relaxation, a strong mood boost, and a desire to socialize. The high is medium-mild, manageable, and only very slightly noticeable on the face. It remains functional and short-lived. It "takes the edge off," giving me my dose without being too overwhelming. It's versatile for something mild.

Produced by Ono Cannabis and packaged by Exka, it might be interesting to try to discover a Permanent Marker-style profile, but for those like me who also buy from the Ontario market, it quickly becomes repetitive. It's a decent product, but not enough to justify its $44 price tag; I would find it much more reasonable at around $29. Unfortunately, I don't find it satisfying in terms of the intensity and duration of the effects.

Maîtres Artisans(Permanent Gusher) de Terroir(Exka)

1. Emballage

Un pot en plastique opaque noir. L'étiquette mentionne les taux de T-H-C(29,5%), C-B-D(0,1%) et celui des terpènes totaux(2,8%). On retrouve la liste des terpènes dominants, la variété en rotation(Permanent Gusher), la date d'emballage(2026-04-20) et la mention "emballé au Québec". Une présentation avare, la base est là. Le pot contenait un Boost que j'ai retiré par préférence personnelle.

1. Visuel / Buds

Deux buds de taille moyenne, denses et compacts, pas trop sec/humide. Les fleurs ont un beau look avec une structure "indica" et des teintes de vert forêt et pointes de mauve sous une dentelle de trichomes. Sous microscope, les trichomes sont longs et majoritairement intacts. Se fume sans problème avec une cendre blanchâtre et un anneau de résine.

1. Arômes/terpènes

Limonène, caryophyllène, myrcène. 

Bonne intensité à l'ouverture, c'est gassy, chimique, terreux et citronné. L'égrainage développe le gassy, terreux, citron et chimique. En dry hit, le citron domine avec le terreux et chimique. En bouche, ça se traduit bien, ça goûte ce que ça sent. Y'a du gassy, terreux, pneu brûlé, chimique, citron et une timide note sucrée. Un profil genre entre le Jealousy et le Permanent Marker. La fumée est douce et légère.

1. Effets

Les effets s'installent doucement et augmentent graduellement, je le sens "derrière les yeux". Les paupières sont lourdes, le corps se relâche et devient maladroit. Côté cérébral, y'a une euphorie, une détente, une forte élévation de l'humeur et le désir de socialiser. Le high est moyen-doux, c'est gérable, ça parait que très légèrement sur le visage, ça reste fonctionnel et de courte durée. Ça "take the edge off", ça me donne ma dose sans être trop écrasée, c'est polyvalent pour quelque chose de doux. 

Produit par Ono Cannabis et emballé par Exka, ca peut être intéressant à essayer pour découvrir un profil style Permanent Marker mais pour ceux qui comme moi qui achète aussi sur le marché ontarien, ça vient rapidement redondant. C'est un produit décent mais pas assez pour justifier son prix de 44$, je trouverais ça beaucoup plus raisonnable à environ 29$. Je n'y trouve malheureusement pas mon compte niveau intensité et durée des effets.

Lime Runtz by PurpleFarm

1. Packaging A clear glass jar, showcasing the flowers. The label lists the THC (29.7%), CBD (0.1%), CBD (0.6%), and total terpene levels (2.3%). CBG is a cannabinoid similar to CBD in that it is non-psychoactive and possesses anti-inflammatory properties. The list of dominant terpenes is missing, but the label includes the classification (sativa), lineage (Spritzer x GrumpZ), aromas (sweet, lemony), appearance (lime green and purple, frosted trichomes), packaging date (2026-04-09), and the mentions "craft," "non-irradiated," and "hand-trimmed and hand-packed." A nice presentation; a terpene list would have been appreciated, but at least the listed aromas give a good idea. The jar didn't contain any Boost.

2. Appearance / Buds Small to medium-sized buds, dense with a good bounce, not too dry/moist. A beautiful look despite a fluffy structure that lacks a bit of body. The flowers have shades of purple that contrast with the soft green under a blanket of trichomes. Under a microscope, the trichomes are mostly intact, and some are bursting with anthocyanins. Smokes easily with a pale gray ash and a ring of resin.

3. Aromas/Terpenes Limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, linalool. On opening, it's earthy, tangy, gassy, and floral. Grinding releases softer, fruitier, sweet, and tangy notes. On a dry hit, it's candy-like, fruity, sweet, and lemony. On the palate, there's a gassy first note followed by earthiness, acidity, and a subtle sweetness. Overall, the profile is balanced, not too sweet or earthy. The smoke is heavy and creamy.

4. Effects The effects are instantaneous, a kind of electric current that energizes and makes you want to move. The body is more alert, nervous, and agile. Cerebrally, thoughts rush in and jostle each other, the mind is bubbling, creative, sociable, euphoric, with an elevated mood. The high is moderate, manageable, and remains functional, but I definitely feel the dose of stimulation while remaining in control. The mood is ideal for a wake-and-bake or an afternoon pick-me-up, perfect for cleaning or spending time outdoors.

A great purchase in a slightly higher price range. From the look to the aromas and effects, it's a worthwhile experience. It will be a great addition to my summer rotation.

Lime Runtz de PurpleFarm

1. Emballage

Un pot en verre transparent, laissant voir les fleurs. L'étiquette mentionne les taux de T-H-C(29,7%), C-B-D(0,1%), C-B-G(0,6%) et celui des terpènes totaux(2,3%). Le C-B-G est un cannabinoïde similaire au C-B-D dans le sens qu'il n'est pas psychoactif et possède des propriétés anti inflammatoires. La liste des terpènes dominants est manquante mais on retrouve la classification(sativa), la lignée(Spritzer x GrumpZ), les arômes(sucré, citronné), l'apparence(vert lime et violet, trichomes givrés), la date d'emballage(2026-04-09) et les mentions "artisanal", "non-irradié", "manucure et emballage à la main". Une belle présentation, la liste des terpènes aurait été appréciée mais au moins on a une idée avec les arômes listés. Le pot ne contenait pas de Boost..

2. Visuel / Buds

Des buds de petite et moyenne taille, denses avec un rebond, pas trop sec/humide. Un beau look malgré une structure fluffy qui manque un peu de corps. Les fleurs ont des teintes de violet qui contrastent sur le vert tendre, sous une couverture de trichomes. Sous microscope, les trichomes sont majoritairement intacts et certains sont gorgés d'anthocyanes. Se fume sans problème avec une cendre grise pâle et un anneau de résine. 

3. Arômes/terpènes

Limonène, myrcène, caryophyllène, linalol.

À l'ouverture c'est terreux, acidulé, gassy et floral. L'égrainage libère des notes plus douces, fruitées, sucrées et acidulées. En dry hit, c'est bonbon, fruité, sucré et citronné. En bouche, y'a un gassy en tête suivi du terreux, acidulé et un timide sucré. Somme toute, le profil est balancé, pas trop sucré ou terreux. La fumée est lourde et crémeuse.

4. Effets

Les effets sont instantanés, un certain courant électrique qui vient énergiser et donner envie de bouger. Le corps est plus vif, nerveux et habile. Côté cérébral, les pensées déferlent et se bousculent, l'esprit est en effervescence, créatif, sociable, euphorie avec une élévation de l'humeur. Le high est moyen, ça se gère et ça reste fonctionnel mais je sens bien la dose de stimulation tout en étant en contrôle. Le mood est idéal pour un wake and bake ou se remonter en après-midi, parfait pour faire du ménage ou passer du temps à l'extérieur. 

Un bel achat dans une fourchette un peu plus dispendieuse. Du look aux arômes et effets, c'est une expérience à la hauteur. Ce sera un bel ajout à ma rotation estivale.

Minigar by Hashtisan(Oaziz)

1. Packaging A large khaki green mylar bag with an opaque black plastic tube inside containing a 1.5g minigar. The label lists the THC (26.24%), CBD (0.001%), and total terpenes (1.25%). It also includes a list of dominant terpenes, the ingredients (cannabis), the packaging date (2025-11-19), and the mention "infused pre-roll (ground flower wrapped in hash)." The description is brief; the basics are there, but it would have been helpful to include more information about the flower and/or the hash. The tube did not contain any Boost.

2. Appearance The joint is cone-shaped, made of white paper, with a twisted tip, a cardboard/paper filter, and covered with a slice/wrap of hash. The joint appears uniformly dense and shows no weakness in the filter. The hash in the wrap isn't completely homogeneous; it has two colors, perhaps due to insufficient mixing/heating or crystallization if CBD distillate is present. It smokes without issue, producing a whitish ash.

3. Aromas/Terpenes Linalool, guaiol, caryophyllene. On the nose, a light hashish aroma; earthy and peppery. On a dry hit, it's complex with pine, floral, fruity, citrus, earthy, and peppery notes. On the palate, still quite eclectic but primarily peppery, earthy, woody, and herbal. There's an unpleasant, tobacco-like, acrid, and irritating aftertaste where the hash discolorations occur. I licked the discolorations with my lighter flame, which helped a little. The smoke is heavy and creamy, filling the room quickly.

4. Effects The effects arrive slowly and subtly. The body high kicks in first, followed by a release and relaxation, and then a noticeable couchlock. Mentally, it's slowed down, euphoric, and relaxing, with a loss of concentration. The brain is switched off. The high was moderate, not as intense as I expected, but it was visible on my face. A good buzz for an evening/weekend to clear your mind and soothe your body.

I preferred the brand's "premium" version; a 3g format with a glass filter and no rolling papers, but it's good to have a more suitable format for solo sessions or smaller groups. However, it lacks finesse in its execution, especially for its price range.

Strawberry Amnesia by Crooked Dory

1. Packaging A medium-sized, opaque, red-pink mylar bag. The label lists the THC (29.6%), CBD (0.07%), and total terpene levels (4.1%). The list of dominant terpenes is missing, but the classification (sativa), lineage (Strawberry Cough x Amnesia), and packaging date (2026-04-20) are included. The presentation is sparse; a terpene list would have been appreciated. The bag contained two Boveda bags, which I removed due to personal preference.

2. Appearance/Buds Large to medium-sized, dense buds with a slight bounce, not too dry/moist, still sticky. They have good bag appeal, a nice structure/trim, and the flowers have shades of green to blue-green under a profusion of trichomes. Under a microscope, the trichomes are lush and intact. Smokes easily with a pale gray ash and a resin ring.

3. Aromas/Terpenes Caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene, bisabolol, linalool. Upon initial opening, it was super dank, like something from the bottom of a cellar, but letting the bag burp/breathe helped dissipate a bit. It still remains earthy, tangy, and spicy. Grinding releases softer, fresher notes: lemony, woody, and floral. On a dry hit, it's smooth, tangy, sweet, woody, and floral. On the palate, it returns to earthy, lemony, peppery, burnt rubber, woody, and a dank and ashy aftertaste that eventually disappears. The smoke is heavy and very slightly irritating.

4. Effects I immediately feel it, a tickle in my nose and behind the eyes. Strangely, I don't feel any physical stimulation but rather a kind of couchlock, an overwhelming and relaxing feeling. Mentally, it's slowed down, euphoric, creative, but with a continuous loss of concentration. The high is moderate, definitely visible on my face; there's a certain clash between the mental effervescence versus the desire to take a nap. A rather special buzz, versatile but not at the same time; too inspired to fall asleep but too chill to get me going.

An interesting discovery; I'd been hoping to try Atlantic Cultivation's products, a producer from Newfoundland, for a long time. It's not perfect; despite the superb look, it lacks a bit of refinement in terms of taste, and the effects are "two-layered," for me. Nevertheless, for the price, I'm not too disappointed; just don't expect fruity/sweet flavors or a big energy boost.

Strawberry Amnesia de Crooked Dory

1. Emballage

Un moyen sac en mylar opaque couleur rouge-rose. L'étiquette mentionne les taux de T-H-C(29,6%), C-B-D(0,07%) et celui des terpènes totaux(4,1%). La liste des terpènes dominants est manquante mais on retrouve la classification(sativa), la lignée(Strawberry Cough x Amnesia) et la date d'emballage(2026-04-20). Une présentation avare, la liste des terpènes aurait été appréciée. Le sac contenait deux Boveda que j'ai retiré par préférence personnelle.

2. Visuel / Buds

Des gros et moyens buds, denses avec un léger rebond, pas trop sec/humide, encore collant. Un beau bag appeal, belle structure/trim et les fleurs ont des teintes de vert à vert-bleu sous une avalanche de trichomes. Sous microscope, les trichomes sont luxuriants et intacts. Se fume sans problème avec une cendre grise pâle et un anneau de résine. 

3. Arômes/terpènes

Caryophyllène, limonène, myrcène, bisabolol, linalol.

À l'ouverture initiale, c'était super dank, genre fond de cave, mais en laissant "burper"/aérer le sac ça s'est dissiper un peu. Ça reste quand même dans le terreux, acidulé et spicy. L'égrainage libère des notes plus douces et fraîches, citronnées, boisées et florales. En dry hit, c'est doux, acidulé, sucré, boisé et floral. En bouche, ça revient au terreux, citron, poivré, pneu brûlé, boisé et un arrière goût de dank et de cendre qui finit par disparaître. La fumée est lourde et très légèrement irritante. 

4. Effets

Je le sens automatiquement au niveau du nez qui chatouille et "derrière les yeux". Étrangement, je ne sens pas de stimulation physique mais plutôt un certain couchlock, un feeling écrasant et relaxant. Côté cérébral, c'est au ralenti, euphorique, créatif mais avec une perte continue de concentration. Le high est moyen, définitivement visible sur le visage, y'a un certain clash entre l'effervescence de l'esprit versus le désir de faire une sieste. Un buzz un peu spécial, polyvalent mais pas en même temps; trop inspirée pour m'endormir mais trop vedge pour me mettre en action. 

Une découverte intéressante, ça faisait longtemps que j'espérais goûter un jour aux produits de Altantic Cultivation, producteur de Terre-Neuve. C'est pas parfait, malgré le look superbe ça manque un peu d'affinage au niveau du goût et les effets sont "à deux temps", pour moi. N'empêche pour que le prix, je ne suis pas trop déçue, faut juste pas s'attendre à du fruité/sucré ou un gros boost d'énergie.

Strawberry Skrilla by Saveur des Sommets (Culture des Sommets)

1. Packaging A large, opaque black mylar bag. The label lists the THC (28.8%), CBD (0.05%), and total terpene levels (3.19%). The list of dominant terpenes is missing, but the lineage (Red Pop x Jokers 31), the packaging date (2026-03-25), and the mentions "cold cured," "air-dried," and "product of Quebec" are included. A decent presentation, but I would have liked to see the list of dominant terpenes. The bag did not contain any Boost.

2. Appearance / Buds Medium-sized, dense buds with a slight bounce, not too dry/moist. A superb look, the flowers have a structure of swollen bracts with blue-green hues and are covered in a downy layer of glistening trichomes. Under a microscope, the trichomes are lush and intact. Smokes easily with a whitish ash and a resin ring.

3. Aromas/Terpenes Caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene. Upon opening, a strong aroma escapes: fruity, sweet, candy-like, floral, and earthy. Grinding develops earthy, hoppy, woody, and tart notes. On a dry hit, the woody and lemony notes tend to overpower the gassy and sweet ones. On the palate, the candy, fruity, sweet, tart, and earthy flavors continue. A mouthwatering taste reminiscent of a summer dessert. The smoke is smooth and creamy.

4. Effects The effects are immediate: heavy eyelids, a wry smile, a feeling of physical sluggishness and relief. Cerebrally, there's a powerful euphoria and mood elevation, creativity, sociability, and a comforting sense of well-being. The high is medium to strong, clearly visible on the face with a mischievous grin and slowed movements. A great buzz for early evenings, weekends, or a night out with friends to laugh and chill.

The candy-like appearance, the attractive look, and the good intensity of the aromas and effects make it a great find. At a justifiable price point, it's good value for money; there's even a fairly affordable 28g pack of smalls. For fans of intensely fruity/sweet flavors. A new favorite and a repurchase for me.

Perma Fried by Pistol and Paris

1. Packaging A glass jar covered in opaque, candy-pink plastic. The label lists the THC (29.6%), CBD (0.1%), and total terpene levels (4.0%). It also includes a list of the dominant terpenes and their individual percentages, the classification (indica dominant), the grower(TorrCann, Napanee, ON), and the packaging date (2026-04-10). A decent presentation; the important information is there. The jar contained a Boost, which I removed due to personal preference.

2. Appearance/Buds One large bud and a few smaller ones, dense with a slight bounce, more moist than dry. A decent look; the flowers have shades of pale to dark green and are covered in trichomes. Under a microscope, the trichomes are long, and some are clustered together. Smokes easily with a whitish ash and a resin ring.

3. Aromas/Terpenes Limonene, caryophyllene, linalool. On the nose, it's moderate, lemony, herbal, earthy, and spicy. Grinding amplifies the earthy and gassy notes. On a dry hit, the lemon, woody, and earthy notes take center stage. On the palate, the earthy notes are prominent, along with gassy, spicy, lemony, and some sweeter, floral, and woody notes. It's a fairly common, generic profile. The smoke is heavy and creamy.

4. Effects The effects come on slowly and gradually, a relaxation and release of tension. There's a sensation of tightness in the head and a gentle crushing. Cerebrally, it's calm, introspective, relaxing, and tends to leave you daydreaming. The high is medium, more body than head, still functional and manageable. A gray afternoon buzz, without stimulation or an invincible couchlock, a mood for some quiet cooking.

I bought the same product in Ontario almost a year ago, and the experience is pretty similar to what I remember, with a few minor differences. Perhaps a little milder in terms of aroma and effects, it doesn't have the same impact on me as the first time. Personally, I think it would be more satisfying at a lower price point. It's not a bad product, it's not a favorite of mine, but I prefer it to their Pink Panties.

Perma Fried by Pistol and Paris

1. Packaging

A glass jar covered in opaque, candy-pink plastic. The label lists the THC (29.6%), CBD (0.1%), and total terpene levels (4.0%). It also includes a list of the dominant terpenes and their individual percentages, the classification (indica dominant), the grower(TorrCann, Napanee, ON), and the packaging date (2026-04-10). A decent presentation; the important information is there. The jar contained a Boost, which I removed due to personal preference.

2. Appearance/Buds

One large bud and a few smaller ones, dense with a slight bounce, more moist than dry. A decent look; the flowers have shades of pale to dark green and are covered in trichomes. Under a microscope, the trichomes are long, and some are clustered together. Smokes easily with a whitish ash and a resin ring.

3. Aromas/Terpenes

Limonene, caryophyllene, linalool. 

On the nose, it's moderate, lemony, herbal, earthy, and spicy. Grinding amplifies the earthy and gassy notes. On a dry hit, the lemon, woody, and earthy notes take center stage.

Perma Fried de Pistol and Paris

1. Emballage

Un pot en verre recouvert de plastique opaque rose bonbon. L'étiquette mentionne les taux de T-H-C(29,6%), C-B-D(0,1%) et celui des terpènes totaux(4,0%). On retrouve la liste des terpènes dominants et leur % individuel, la classification(indica dominant), le producteur(TorrCann, Napanee, ON) et la date d'emballage(2026-04-10). Une présentation décente, l'important est là. Le pot contenait un Boost que j'ai retiré par préférence personnelle.

2. Visuel / Buds

Un gros bud et quelques uns de petite taille, denses avec un léger rebond, plus humide que sec. Un look décent, les fleurs ont des teintes de vert pâle à foncé et sont parsemées de trichomes. Sous microscope, les trichomes sont longs et certains se sont agglutinés ensemble. Se fume sans problème avec une cendre blanchâtre et un anneau de résine. 

3. Arômes/terpènes

Limonène, caryophyllène, linalol.

Au nez, c'est modéré, citronné, herbal, terreux et spicy. L'égrainage amplifie le terreux et le gassy. En dry hit, le citron, boisé et terreux prennent toute la place. En bouche, le terreux est en tête avec le gassy, spicy, citron et quelques notes plus douces, florales et boisées. C'est un profil assez commun, générique. La fumée est lourde et crémeuse. 

4. Effets

Les effets s'installent lentement et graduellement, une détente et relâchement des tensions. Y'a la sensation de serrement de tête et un écrasement timide. Côté cérébral, c'est calme, introspectif, relaxant, prône à nous laisser dans la lune. Le high est moyen, plus de corps que de tête, encore fonctionnel et gérable. Un buzz d'après-midi gris, sans stimulation ou couchlock invincible, un mood pour faire de la popotte tranquille. 

J'avais acheté le même produit en Ontario il y a presque un an et l'expérience est plutôt similaire à mes souvenirs, à quelques points près. Peut être un peu plus doux niveau arômes et effets, il me marque moins qu'à sa première fois. Perso, je crois qu'il serait plus satisfaisant dans une braquette de prix moins élevé. Ce n'est pas un mauvais produit, ce n'est pas un coup de coeur pour moi mais je le préfère à leur Pink Panties.

Gastro Pop by Kokotte (Plantations Cérès)

1. Packaging A small, opaque, powder-blue mylar bag. The label lists the THC (29.6%), CBD (0.1%), and total terpene levels (4.14%). It also includes a list of the dominant terpenes and their individual percentages, the packaging date (2026-04-17), and the mentions "grown under LED," "hand-trimmed," "hang-dried," "grown in Quebec," and "this bag is made from 35% recycled materials." A nice, generous presentation. The bag contained a Boost, which I removed due to personal preference.

2. Appearance / Buds Small to medium-sized, dense buds with a slight bounce, not too dry/moist. A beautiful look; the flowers have dark green hues and are adorned with sparkling trichomes. Under microscope, the trichomes are lush and mostly intact. It smokes easily, producing a whitish ash and a ring of resin.

3. Aromas/Terpenes Myrcene, caryophyllene, farnesene, linalool. On the nose, it's shy, gassy, woody, and peppery. Grinding awakens the gassy, skunky, woody, herbal, peppery aromas, along with a faint hint of sweetness. On a dry hit, it's primarily skunky, woody, gassy, and tangy. On the palate, it's a bit of a jumble and chaotic, a clash between the gassy/skunky and the tangy and woody notes. The further the joint burns, the more I detect the softer floral/fruity notes. The smoke is smooth and creamy.

4. Effects The effects develop discreetly and subtly. After a while, a wave of warmth and comfort relaxes my body without completely overwhelming me. Mentally, there's euphoria, relaxation, and creativity, despite a certain lack of motivation. The high is moderate; it's not a heavy hit, but it does eventually take you by surprise and packs a pretty solid punch. It's an evening mood, self-care, binge-watching, or listening to the rain fall, taking it easy.

I can't help but compare it to the famous Gastro Pop from EastCann, a product I love. While Kokotte is in the same vein, it's not an exact copy. It's still, once again, a very good offering from Plantations Cérès. Its price is within a reasonable range, which makes it a guaranteed buy.

Gran Turismo by Tribal (Cannara Biotech)

1. Packaging

A "tuna can" covered in opaque black plastic. The label lists the THC (31.2%), CBD (0.0%), and total terpene levels (2.7%). It also includes a list of dominant terpenes, the classification (indica), the lineage (Motorbreath x Lemon Cherry Gelato), the packaging date (2026-02-20), and the mention "grown indoors." Tribal was one of the few producers to still include the harvest date, but it seems to be missing this time. A nice, appropriate presentation. The can did not contain any Boost.

2. Appearance / Buds

Medium to small buds, dense with a slight bounce, more dry than moist. The flowers have a beautiful appearance due to their structure of swollen bracts covered in sparkling trichomes and their dark blue-green hues. Under a microscope, the trichomes are lush and show slight oxidation. It smokes easily with a gray ash and a resin ring.

3. Aromas/Terpenes

Limonene, myrcene, humulene. 

A good intensity of aromas on opening; it's gassy, woody, earthy, and sweet. Grinding amplifies the diesel, sweetness, and reveals a touch of citrus. On a dry hit, the fruity/sweet, tart, and woody notes take center stage. On the palate, the diesel returns strongly, overpowering the sweeter notes while allowing the woody, earthy, and tart to occasionally peek through. The smoke is heavy and creamy.

4. Effects

The effects appear quickly and gradually increase. Eyelids and limbs feel heavy with a noticeable couchlock. Cerebrally, there's a strong euphoria, an uplifted mood, creativity, and playfulness. A medium-to-strong high, visible on the face, making it a little harder to form coherent sentences. A nice buzz, ideal for relaxing and switching off.

This latest offering from Tribal dethrones, for me, Porto Leche, which I still enjoyed despite its milder and more subtle nature. However, the common drawback of Tribal products is generally the short duration of the effects; the experience from beginning to end is quite rapid. This can be an advantage in some cases, but otherwise, it leaves you wanting more, and you end up chain-smoking. All in all, it's an interesting discovery and a likely repurchase.
