Gushers × Strawnana - Legacy

These are some of the densest buds that I've had in a while. They're fresh, sticky and could probably do a bit of damage if chucked at someone due to how utterly rock-like they are. I get a lot of the Strawnana plus some floral undertones when I grind it up, it isn't really translating to the taste for me but it does smell quite nice

As nice as the flower quality is the effects are where this strain really shines. This potent hybrid smoke had me set before I even finished my bowl, it immediately hits behind the eyes and throughout the body upon taking the first rip. The high CBGA present in this batch could make it a great choice for those looking for a late day/evening smoke to assist in winding down before going to bed

This Gushers × Strawnana and SFF's LMNO-Z are the first Legacy strains I've tried and they've both been phenomenal pickups for me. I made a post the other week asking the subreddit about Legacy's current lineup and what to get and y'all came through with some great recommendations lol

LMNO-Z - Sour Family Farms

This strain absolutely smacks me with lemon and citrus when I open the bag. I haven't heard the term used in years but this is some loud smelling bud for sure. The harvest date is from last December yet the nugs are still fresh and very sticky which is awesome

The effects hit me almost immediately upon packing a bowl and man is this a potent one. It's quite heavy and potent yet it still feels functional, this could be a good one for either focusing and engaging yourself in an activity or for kicking back and relaxing

LMNO-Z is my first buy from Legacy and I'm beyond satisfied with this flower, it's top of the line in every aspect imo. I'd highly recommend this one to all types and tolerances of smokers

LA Kush Cake - Belushi's Farm

In the past two weeks Belushi's Farm has gone from a brand that I initially wrote off to one that's been blowing my mind more and more with every new strain that I pick up. These buds are the most quality I've received yet from them, filling in my eighth with two ultra-frosty examples. I put roughly a half gram in my grinder and I was getting a lot of resistance trying to grind it up, it's dense and dank and super sticky. The smell and taste remind me a bit of Wedding Cake and Ice Cream Cake. It's sweet and vanilla-y tasting but I also get a powerful pine taste on the exhale

The indica-leaning effects hit me quick and are wonderfully heavy from the get go. I managed to find another strain that tests for high amounts of CBGA, which is noticably present here with how exceptionally relaxed this strain gets me feeling. Belushi's Farm has been banger after banger in my recent experience, I'd highly reccommend this one for anyone who is looking for a heavy night-time wind-down strain

Mule Fuel - Belushi's Farm

There isn't much of a scent when I crack open the jar, but there's some nice earthy gassiness when I grind it up. The buds came ever so slightly dry despite there being a humidifying pack in it, but they're dense and sticky and straight tinted white by how covered they are in crystals. It's always a good time when my initial reaction to opening a fresh bag/jar is 'God damn!'

This strain was quite the special find for me, as this batch tested for 1.3% CBGA in the cannabinoid profile. I just had a different indica leaning strain (Banana Papaya) that also has high CBGA in its profile and this is similar with its heavily sedating and relaxing effects. This is a knockout one that's best suited for later in the day or when you're especially in need of some stress relief

I've had three of Belushi's Farm's strains now and this one is by far the best and most suited for me and what I look for in indica/indica-leaning strains. I almost grabbed their LA Kush Cake (another time) but I'm so glad I went with this instead, and I'd highly reccommend this to anyone who loves their heavy nighttime smokes

Banana Papaya - Find.

I read a recent review of this strain on here and had to check it out for myself when I saw it on sale for only $20. I get a nice sweet banana smell when I open the jar and grind it up, but it doesn't translate as much flavor wise for me. The buds are dense and absolutely covered in trichomes. Imo this is some incredibly impressive flower at the price point it's offered at (even without the sale)

The 1.25% CBGA in the cannabinoid profile makes this strain an amazing option for those looking to relieve stress or anxiety. Like I can really feel the difference that it makes compared to other heavy indica/indica-leaning strains that I've tried as of late. It's calming, stress relieving and uplifting yet still functional. It's nice and potent, but not put you to sleep potent. I'd 100% buy this again and plan to if it can stay in stock lol

Hashburger - Belushi's Farm

A few strains from Belushi's Farm's just arrived at Bisa Lina in Joliet so I had to grab some after being impressed with their Mega Mind. I gotta grind/break up the nugs in order to get the full scent profile of this strain but it's straight hashiness with some dank garlicky funk to it as well. It tastes just like it smells with heavy hash notes on the exhale too which is right up my alley

The nugs are a bit squishy and collapse easier than most if I apply pressure, but the flower is fresh and sticky so I can't complain. The indica effects take a minute to come on but man you will feel it if you smoke an extra bowl or joint of this strain. Highly reccommend giving this one a try if you're a fan of indicas and/or if you've been curious about Belushi's Farm

Cannabist/Columbia Care Jamaican Hashplant

Does anyone know if any of Cannabist's brands still carry/breed Columbia Care's Jamaican Hashplant? Or if they use it in any of the parent strains of any of their current offerings? I've tried looking online but I can't find any info readily available

Grapple Pie - The Botanist

I decided to grab a zip of this Grapple Pie to smoke on after being quite impressed with the Botanist's Strawberry Bubbles and Dutch Treat × Cherry Pie. When I open the bag I get a heavy scent of a mix of grape/apple/citrus with an underlying dank pine-y musk to it. The layered notes are absolutely amazing but it isn't translating to the taste as much for me. It still tastes nice and fresh and burns/smokes wonderfully despite that

The buds are quite sticky and will glue your fingers together if you break it up by hand. The high is relaxing, heavy and indica-leaning yet it doesn't couch lock me or put me down for a nap. It's nice to have found a functional indica that still has the stress relieving effects I look for

I give it an 8.5/10 overall, as I'd like the taste of the fruity/musky terpene profile to be as intense as it smells. Outside of that minor complaint this is a great smoke all around and I'm pretty stoked to have a zip of this to go through

Boov - OneDay

This is a seriously potent one to be on the lookout for. The flower quality is top notch with heavy trichome coverage and dense, sticky buds. The smell is straight hash and sour apples and man is it pungent. The smell translates to the taste nicely as well, it's great out of some glass but I imagine it'd be even tastier rolled up

The heavy indica effects come on quickly and will guaranteed put you on your ass so I reccommend keeping this one for later in the day. I managed to grab it for $42 out the door with a sale, but it's a case where paying extra for premium is 100% worth it in my opinion. I'm glad I've found yet another company to add to my list of ones to watch for. If you like unique terpenes, dense sticky buds and ultra-potent indicas this is a must try

Legacy/Sour Family Farms/Poetry of Plants/Stoner Village

Hey y'all my local dispo recently dropped a ton of Legacy's brands strains. I'd like to know if there's any standouts worth giving a try, as I've never purchased flower from them or any of their subsidaries

Donut Shop - Fig Farms

I was pretty stoked to learn recently that Fig Farms still offers flower on IL menus. I saw some older reviews of this Donut Shop on here and it looked fire, so I pulled the trigger on a newer batch of it to see how they're doing quality wise

The smell is slightly muted, but I get Gelato funk and sweetness mixed in with a slight bit of earthiness and citrus. It smells alright right out of the jar, but grinding/breaking it up will bring out the stink a lot more. The buds are dense, frosty and sticky and pretty solid for a $25 eighth. The uplifting and calming effects are where this strain really shines, it produces a heavy and balanced head/body high that is good for boosting mood and winding down at the end of the day

Overall I'd give it an 8.5/10. My only gripe is that it isn't as pungent as T&T or Otherside's Gelato, but I think that may be from slight terpene evaporation and not the genetics/batch itself. I would definitely pick this up again, and will be looking out for it in the future to see if the smell/taste can match the wonderfully heavy potency

Otherside - Donny Burger

A fresh new batch of Donny Burger just dropped so I had to grab an eighth to see how it is. The GMO stink in this might be even louder than the previous batch that I tried back in June. Like god DAMN this is a pungent strain. If the smell doesn't sell you on it the second you open the bag, seeing how lovely the buds look definitely will.

I consider myself a heavy smoker (14g a week) and one bowl of this is more than enough for me. This is a heavyweight indica that has me feeling like the girl in that old 2000s anti-cannabis ad who was deflated on the couch and talking to the family dog lol. It's got some seriously potent indica couch lock effects that are perfect for winding down or sleep.

Otherside is absolutely killing the flower game right now, and in my opinion this is some truly 10/10 bud across the board. A must try if you are a fan of heavy indicas and haven't had the chance to yet

Cookies - That Badu

This is a strain that I used to only buy when I'd saved up ample rewards points due to Cookies' pricey eighths, but at $60 out the door for a quarter I had to grab one of my all time favorites to see how the current batch is

That Badu has a flavor/scent profile with heavy notes of lavender, pine, and earthiness which smells so nice and fresh that it could be sold as an air freshener or cleaner scent. The buds are thick, nicely cured, and are coated in milky white trichomes

This is a major mood boosting strain for me as well. It makes me feel happy, floaty and relaxed and want to watch a movie, or listen to/play music, or ride my skateboard. It's a nice euphoric hybrid that doesn't cash you out for a nap if you accidentally smoke too much lol. It's become a ritual to throw on Erykah Badu's classic album Mama's Gun any time I have this strain, as I think that its effects pair perfectly with her mellow vibes

I'd reccommend this strain to anyone, as it has hit the mark every single time I've picked it up. Cookies may be a hyped brand but this is truly some special flower in my opinion. I give it a 9-9.5 overall as previous batches of this have been just ever so slightly better than this one in terms of smell and taste, but this batch is still phenomenal and a must try if you've seen it on menus and have been curious
