Two different strains in one disposable. Tried the zushi mints and it’s fire 🔥 they’re not out yet until tomorrow but the budtender said today you can use 100 points to get one early for $40.
Interesting design choice, definitely looks like a buoy/fishing bobber. WAYY better airflow than the old orange sticks. If it clogs you can just blow through the bottom. Much better than the old ones!
Icy Grapes is one of the better looking Curaleaf drops I’ve had in a while. Beautiful mix of deep purple and bright green throughout the buds with heavy trichome coverage and a noticeable amount of amber heads too. Bud structure was on point. Dense, sticky, compact nugs.
The nose immediately reminded me of some dank berry grape candy with that classic funky backend. The flavor turned into this interesting grape fruity metallic profile that’s honestly hard to describe but pretty unique. Definitely not your standard sweet grape strain.
Effects: Strong relaxing effects for me personally. I smoked this one before bed so I can’t fully judge the legs, but I was definitely medicated by the time I knocked out.
Overall, Icy Grapes feels like one of the more complete recent Curaleaf pickups. Unique flavor, great bag appeal, clean burn, and solid nighttime effects. Definitely my favorite one out of the three strains I got recently.
Indica Princess has a surprisingly balanced profile considering the name. The Super Silver Haze genetics definitely come through with that uplifting hazy headspace, while the Princess side smooths everything out into a relaxing body high. Flavor wise, this one is really nice. Sweet tropical fruit on the inhale with floral incense notes and a citrus haze backend that lingers after the exhale. There’s also a subtle pine spice tucked underneath everything that makes it feel a little more complex than your average fruity strain.
Effects: Starts with a clear headed euphoric buzz before slowly easing into mellow body relaxation. Didn’t completely knock me out, but definitely put me into a laid back mood. Feels like a good late afternoon or evening hybrid where you still want to stay mentally present without getting too racy.
Overall, Indica Princess feels like a really enjoyable middle ground strain. Not a heavy sedative indica despite the name, but more of a smooth relaxing hybrid with enough haze influence to keep it interesting.
Floral Frost definitely lives up to the name. The flavor has this floral creamy inhale with a frosty sweet backend that almost reminds me of lavender mixed with a light vanilla gas. It’s not an overpowering loud strain, but it’s unique enough that I kept going back for another hit just to figure out the flavor profile.
Effects: Sleepy night time relaxing vibes.
Overall, good strain, but there's some better strains coming out of Curaleaf lately.
Last time I went to AYR (then Liberty Health Sciences) was 5 years ago. They dropped a new line of concentrates called HZ. The budtender told me this stuff is gonna be from Ayr’s recently opened indoor cultivation facility in Ocala.
I went with Purple Alien out of the three different strains they had available because the genetics are Alien Kush x Tahoe OG. Tahoe was an AMAZING strain that I had years ago in fresh press from Sunnyside that had amazing effects. Never had Alien Kush though.
Let's start with the appearance. It's definitely dry compared to rosin from other places, but that doesn't scare me.
I loaded it up into the Puffco and immediately got a euphoric, creative head high. The taste was citrusy with an undertone of a nice herbal dankness. I would describe this as a very clear high. Doesn't put you out and you get this good feeling in the head that makes you want to just enjoy the moment. I expected it to be a bit harsh from the dryness but it was a really smooth smoke. Burned nicely and wasn't dirty at all in the Puffco.
Overall, interesting pick up, hope to see more solventless rosin from AYR. They need to really get some wet terps going and then they'll have some amazing rosin.
Also, the cookie edibles are fantastic!
I LOVE Blue Zushi and Orange Mintz. Combining them was genius. The euphoric hybrid effect of the blue zushi combines with the sativa effects of orange mintz for an insanely good combo. The middle of the thumbprint is like looking at a vast ocean of terps. Amazing strain, am tempted to get a second bucket because of how fire this is
This one looked really good on the menu. 31% thc with 3.88% terps. It almost has 1% of myrcene and limonene respectively. Nugs are super frosty. The flavor profile is interesting, an earthy sweetness with a nutty backend. Very uplifting and puts me in a positive mood. It's listed as a sativa and I'd say it's more of a hybrid sativa for the afternoon. Gets me in a great mood, would try again!
On my second stop of the day searching for terpinolene goodness, I got the GCH #19 from Jungle Boys. This stuff used to be so good back in the Ocala grand opening days. It doesn't quite pass the Sticky Test like it used to. I like how it has a 'paint thinner' type of smell coupled with the candy profile. I found it a bit harsh on the smoke though, but the effects were a nice focusing hybrid.
This is an awesome fruity tasting sativa that is abundant in terpinolene. I am a terpinolene chaser when it comes to terpenes, so when I saw this I had to grab it. It's got that same familiar candy profile, with a bit of an earthy backend. The effects were really uplifting, really nice strain to sit down at my desk and do some gaming. Awesome strain in a program where finding a good, non-racy sativa is a bit of a chore. Another servicable strain for my ever-growing sativa arsenal!
Huge contrast in colors. The Permanent Runtz is very purple and dark. The hashburger was over 4% terps, but not my favorite type of profile. Very stanky. I like the Permanent Runtz more, it's got a nice candy aroma.
