Ice Cream

Overall 5.6/5—————A 75% indica knockout strain for depression—————————–

This and Shishkaberry are on another level, I gave Shish 6/5. I wanted to give this 5.75/5 because of its effect alone but -.15 for having a faint smell which certainly doesn’t translate to potency, excusez mon français but “t s i s a f”. I haven’t had my other samples but so far this is what I’ll be ordering next-next, god damn is it good.

My own description isn’t as good as Cannasos, they’ve absolutely nailed the effect description and if you check that site often you’ll see this is an extremely rare profile, probably the reason it’s around. I can’t recall reading a similar description.

“Cake cannabis strain’s high is deliciously relaxing. It starts with a euphoric physical buzz and happy mood paired with social tendencies, but may end with an aimless, distracted, and slightly sedative experience.”
In my opinion it’s potent enough to give you a slight headache via energy-robbing during come down, the high is slightly “between the eyes” and you’ll be left wanting to take a nap. At first I didn’t think it were sleepy at all, the opposite. See, Shishkaberry sends you to the moon and back. This sends you to the upper atmosphere, orbits the planet a couple times and then you come back in a similar but slightly softer crash landing. Each bowl gets me right back up to where I was too, I love the consistency of that, it’ll keep me from smoking a bowl every half hour after midnight – tolerance.

GENETICS———————————————————————————————

It makes me wonder just how many differing types of genetics they’ll stumble upon before they actually pick a cut to stabilize. How do they know which to cross? Do they cross everything with everything and take the best? How many times will they back-cross something until they’re happy? Short answer; they smoked this

phe·no·type

/ˈfēnəˌtīp/

noun: BIOLOGY

The set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment [from Greek, Modern phainein, meaning ‘to show’, and typos, meaning ‘type’].

Ice Cream cake contains a whole wack of similar genetics of itself, they like to keep it in the family. There’s obviously something special about Durban Poison and GSC since they’ve crossed everything under the sun with them – Durban is African and its top effect is energization – extremely rare even for a sativa. Being landrace it’s going to be the most potent available.

This is hybrid city and quite possibly the best of them all. Of all the strains that went into this – GSC, Durban Poison, Cherry Pie, Gelato, Wedding Cake, Sunset Sherbet and ThinMint GSC I’ve not had Sunset or ThinMint. Durban is the differing one in this list, a sativa and I was about to say Cherry Pie but even that is a cross of Durban X Granddaddy Purple, a 70% indica.

Not about this strain but after reading “… and that Wedding Cake isn’t Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie (a strain sometimes called Pink Cookies) but a combination of Triangle Kush and Animal Mints. For what it’s worth, I obtained some Cherry Pie too, to see what’s up. It did echo Wedding Cake…”,

I’m glad I’m not the only person who thought a strain should have one name only. I can see this having an AKA is for two reasons: quality control and people “stealing” genetics to call it their own, forcing someone to give it a “truer” more first-er name. With all the crossing happening I bet people simply lost track of what was what. I looked up Triangle Kush and Animal Mints, for what it’s worth, don’t lol.

“Animal Mints cannabis strain is a cross between Animal Cookies, Girl Scout Cookies and Blue Power cannabis strains. Florida OG Kush AKA OG Triangle genetics: Though the exact origins are unknown, this strain is said to be descendent of the classic OG Kush.”

Is it likely that it’s from OG Kush? ……….. maybe, no, I don’t think so. It seems more like it kept its darker green colors directly from its supposed grandparent Durban Poison and its purple and lighter or very tan hues from GSC. OG Kush is rank, too, this isn’t but is supposed to be. Different names are fine and dandy but Jesus Christ show that they point back to the same lineage or don’t call it an AKA or you’ll confuse every pothead in the world.

EFFECTS—————————————————————————————-

“Relaxed, happy, euphoric, tingly, sleepy”

You don’t just feel a regular high, it’s a 75% indica. You feel haze and distortion but in a good way, everything glossy and “1/1000th shutter-speed”. She’s somethin’ else.

I cleaned my bong the night before with ISO alcohol so now it’s like brand new. I just had 1 bowl and it has only been about 20 seconds and it has kicked in hard. Real hard. As hard as Blue Dream or a similar known monster grabs you. The first review here says it’s the strongest weed they’ve ever had – I scoffed at that. After 1 bowl, not so much… fuck, at all. It told me to sit down and shut up. There is a not-super-clear difference in effect profile between this and Blue Dream/Shish or whatever else I think is super strong – but this one’s reeeeeeeally great… because there’s not anything missing; there’s upliftment, happiness, euphoria, relaxation, focus and unfocus and in somehow near equal amount. There’s this super-noteable spirited cerebral; this isn’t “me”. I’m a little distorted into a happy daze yet it’s internal happiness produced. I look and move around to see how it carries physically and the body feels a little roll-y or swaying which equates to a relaxing feeling overall. It doesn’t feel like it would last long past 2 hours but we’ll see. It has been 1 hour and it feels a little dimmed to maybe 75%. 2.5 hours around 65% and getting sleepier. I had a bowl 3 hours ago and I’m still high!

I’d have zero problem buying an oz of this to leave myself wondering if I got the right strain. Hell nah. If you want a medical strain purely for easy-goingness/pain management/appetite then go with Mataro Blue, otherwise this hits right in the good feels.

Having a second bowl, I’m gonna go do some stuff and come back. Very smooth, nice lighter and sweet taste (weedy of course but also a separated sweetness). It’s always the first bowl that gets to ya. Again I’m immediately hit with the same effect just more. It comes on so quick but it doesn’t have this feeling of being rushed into it with a sense of oh-no’s, you feel as soon as you’re at your destination you’re like “oh, trips already over, we’re there. Cool.” and you just go with it easily. It was mellowing down after 2.5 hours and after a then-third bowl it sent me right back up.

Almost sounds like I’m gonna marry it. Sorry Blue Dream, as comparable and as great as you are you’ve been had. One upped. The endorphin republic of my brain held an electoral vote. Mixing, switchable factors of [bodily] presence with [cerebral] absenteeism and comfortability will inevitably leave you with a wordless love and when situated without a yearning for it again. Shit, that was deep. One does have the most epiphanistic (it’s a word, look it up) thoughts during mindless tasks be it cutting grass (weed whipping had to say it), driving or even just sitting on a toilet. Honestly, don’t drive around after, every white car is a cop.

I was skeptical reading “promotes laughter” on Cannasos because it’s described with many strains but this really does and if not outwardly than expect to be laughing inwardly. I didn’t get from my living room to my kitchen without telling myself something funny and it kept going on like that for 1.5 hours.

SMELL 1g, ground up—————————————————————————————-

Probably need a larger amount to get a better nose. Not much of a profile, not pungent but does have a smell. It smells a little like chai tea minus cinnamon or like special lawn grass. Not sweet grass. It actually smells like a nice crafts store I used to go to that sold stuff made of nice smelling wood. Overall it’s sweet with a sharper tang up top. It’s definitely weird at first, it smells almost like an actual flower instead of weed as if all the cool-factor was snuffed and left with a reality-checking “this is what weed smells like without human intervention”. I’ll bet since it smells like the woodsy crafts store that the “sweat” from this plant (which I think is the trichomes, where it gets its smell?) when stressed is probably made from genetics that were specifically making up the stalk – which is the most tree-like part of the plant. Other reviews say it’s gassy. I asked my girlfriend what she thought it smelled like and I quote “dense” lmao!

Exactly as pictured. Medium sized bud, small to medium sized but cakey-hairy trichomes. Fat and dense. When ground up about 10% is a very vibrant purple, not a dark purple but bordering on pink – sweet! Not that it matters but this is the nicest purple I’ve seen on weed yet, similar to Shish’s pinkness just a darker/more vibrant tone.

TASTE/BURN————————————————————————————————–

Like a quad. Smooth, a little cough, a little tickle in my throat from the trichomes. It tasted weedy and I noted a bit of sweetness.

X2 one of, if not the best deal online currently!

I ordered an oz. Death_Punch2335 and I aren’t kidding – watch this YouTube vid of me ripping open a 2.65 gram bud that is heavily caked and looks like a quartz cavern. It was the biggest bud and the rest were a little bigger than medium to large sized. It tastes better than it smells and it smells great, you just get a lot of creaminess/vanilla in the taste and it’s such a smooth smoke. Smelling an oz is similar to opening a Breyers vanilla ice cream tub – similar and pleasant while not exact like a faux meat. Grinding it up shows you its easily separating abundance of kief where in quantity it’s a benchmark or reference point to other strains. Not a pungent smell but it’s really great once you detail it with your nose. HIGHLY recommended effects! Very euphoric, heavy cerebral with a bit of a space out/talking to one’s self. It’s the strongest weed I’ve had in years & years, it throws you into a bright, happy, candy-land-esque giggle experience. Any hairs are from me or my tuxedo cats.
