Cali OJ

Came back to review it again after a 4:30am morning toke from a small order but at $165/oz it’s quite a value given its overall effect of being happy-stoney, 1-bowl potency and its smell is one of the noicest weed can have, it’s very clean smelling. Off the top of my head this, Maui Wowie at $160 and Blueberry at $180 is exactly where my eyes land for a go-to price range where I can get either one and not wonder if I’d have liked the different strain more even though they’re all very different.

Before I looked at my last review I was like “this’d be good for pain..”, which is what my last review said. Now Leafly says it smells like pepper-pungent-blue cheese, which is accurate too lol but let me be clear on the blue-cheese. There’s a whole aura of a cheese but it’s unlike a UK-cheese strain, it doesn’t smell like the plant sweated all over the place, it’s much more bright and nearing the lower notes of actual lemons with a bunch of diesel/chem notes thrown in. It’s got so many layers in its scent that you could even say it’s rounded off by a slightly minty smell as well as a blue cheese type of scent without the oldness aspect that many hate about blue cheese. It smells extremely pungent and is high-end smelling, like a perfect-weed smell. Although the $160 Maui Wowie is outright most pungent to me this C.S.D. is at 3rd? place behind Strawberry Diesel [and Blueberry?] for best actual scent profile. It doesn’t get much better. It’s like OG Kush but less pine, more lemon.

It’s also heavier in the eyes which makes me think it’d be good for glaucoma but it’s not sleepy (to me). While I feel alert I’m also on a laugh train internally where my thoughts have been completely lifted above the clouds. Would be great for depression & PTSD. It works over your mind with a slight haze that doesn’t feel uncomfortable, rather the opposite. If a strong couch-locky indica gives you a “derpy smile” this is for a “derpy smile on the go”. If you were in either physical or mental pain this would seemingly haze the pain and separate the “you” into a more positive atmosphere, almost forced even, it’s hard to not just sit and feel happier after smoking a bowl or two. I bet it’d help for stress headaches too – with some strains I’ll smoke a huge bowl and get a lower back of my head tension that can develop into a headache later but this feels like it does the exact opposite and neutralizes some tension in my head & neck because I didn’t get any immediacy coughing, only after I waited 20 seconds after I blew smoke out and the coughing were 2 little mild one’s.

It think it’s priced at $165 because of its hybridness – it doesn’t knock you on your ass indica-wise nor does it give this rocking cerebral sativa-wise and the potency can seem underrated because of its effects profile that really sticks to being 50% happy-uplifted and then a halved but equal assortment of creative/energetic/euphoric/relaxed/?. I imagine someone NOT wanting to smoke but having it suggested to them for depression ETC; this is where I’d start them, something that’d tell them “hey, you’re gonna get high here but it’s gonna be pretty forgiving… and happy.” It’s heavily medicinally focused to forcing happiness… it’s awesome. It’s not a “Charlotte’s Web” heaven-send towards physical medication… but for mental, yeah, for not giving a fuck, it’s a mood & confidence booster. Mental comfort without being sativa-zapped or indica-locked yet it’s heady/can feel it swooshing in my head numbing stuff, definitely a hybrid that if it were a little more potent it’d be Canada’s ‘next biggest strain’ etc. The only thing it doesn’t have is a huge euphoria but it’s still there too. All of this only makes me wonder what the hell Sour Diesel feels like since it were so expensive – is it the miracle for depression or is this?

Not that it’s totally accurate but I would have guessed this were either a 65 indica or sativa, from either side I’ve had only twice 65%-sativa’s (AK47 & ?) and only once a 65%-indica (also ?). Thing is, both of those 65’s made me laugh a lot and made me feel really calm… they also sparkled the same visually. Apparently it’s a 60/40 indica. Close enough – my point is I’ve had enough strains by now that tells me the 80’s, 70’s and 60’s actually feel much more distinct from 85’s, 75’s and 65’s listed, being extremely unique.

After hooting another bowl……. this tastes like a “foreign grapefruit” that stops being tasty before it gets too-bitter. Half sweet and if smoked in a joint it’d be a bit of a flavour train. It’s got really nice orange hairs and it’s chalk full of dusty crystals that are well developed… and it’s still busting up really nice looking lol. A dense-velvety cross.

Bet it’d be a good choice for chemo patients too – along with White Widow and some other strains I’ve mentioned it seems to have this internal thing with its haze/brain effect where it’d make you feel more balanced, less sea-sick if that is a thing and hungrier all at once. Since it’s a 60/40 hybrid with very comforting mental effects [with its stone] you almost couldn’t smoke too much of this which can be a really good thing if you don’t originally use cannabis and now have the requirement to.

Feels like a frontal lobe massage by a trained chi master. For medicinal use I’d press this into rosin, hell yes.
