This week I am happy to announce that the powers that be have done something very nice… and it’s about a name change…

This week’s herb of the moment is called Dream Queen - that’s it’s new name. Previously this strain has been called Green Crack – a name I’ve personally disliked since I first heard it. Does our wonderful herb need anymore negative street drug references?

What I’ve been told is that the people who are cloning this strain and passing it along to the community have chosen (wisely I my humble opinion) to rechristen this delightful California indica hybrid strain as Dream Queen…

Here’s so info from the Urban Dictionary on Green Crack

-”Oowee, whats that smell?”
–”Its the green crack!”

Until later, best of health.

This week I’m focusing on a classic medical strain here in Southern California for the Sativa lovers, the ones who like the upbeat, more energetic and cerebral strains of herb… this one is for you  – Trainwreck.

This strain has an aroma that’s as notable as it’s name. The smell is so distinct that it’s one of the few strains that even my medicore sense of smell can identify immediately… I call it a “medicinal smell” – like strong lemon-lime cleaner, but in a good way.

I have always found the effect is very upbeat and active, and at one time (Summer of 2008) it was my herb-of-choice.

Here’s some information about Trainwreck

Very much renowned for its potency. It is said to contain an incredible amount of THC. The smell is already strong, and when you squeeze it the smell makes your eyes water. The weed is easily ground up, and a little too sticky for breaking up by hand. Trainwreck has a unique smell that it hard to describe. It’s like Kush, and Skunk, but with a sweet tang to it, like freshly cut cedar.

It lights up fast, and burns slightly quicker than you would prefer, and gives you an extremely thick hit. Almost always a cougher. The name trainwreck come from the fact that when you smoke this weed your face feels like it was hit by a train. It’s a very powerful Sativa.

We got in an excellent Indica strain today called Pure Kush (PK).

The taste is just what you’d expect from a good Kush, and the high is comfortably fuzzy, in a happy and pleasant way… this is one of my all time favorite strains (I might like this strain even more than a top-notch Granddaddy Purple) and this batch of PK brought a happy, stoned smile to my face.

Information

With a name like Pure Kush a lot is expected from this strain. It’s no coincidence that this bud is also pure Indica. The genetics of this strain go back to the very popular, Ganddaddy Purple Strain. The tight arid buds aren’t covered with THC, but are lightly frosted. In fact it’s low THC percentage is reason enough to question it’s claim to fame and such a proud name.

For those who like a mellow high there is true joy to be found in Pure Kush. It’s golden orange hairs stand out on a bud with a strong, geen leaves; which occasionally have a bluish hue to them. The smell and taste are both mild, but on close inspection there are fruity undertones.

The high is mellow. It gives you that traditional Indica body high. The high provides buzz and vibration that spreads accross on and under under your skin. What it doesn’t do is weigh you down too much.

Check it the out when you stop by…

We got in a new strain yesterday that is really nice called Ice Cream.

A subjective and informal review from Jon, onehumanbeing

This is a 60% Indica 40% Sativa hybrid that is not only delightful to look at and smell, but has an active and cerebral high with a positive feel.

Good medicine for many of the symptoms of the depression I’ve been going through these last few weeks.

Keep this one on the shopping list…

Information about Ice Cream

Type: Indica/Sativa (60/40)
Flowering time: 55-60 days indoors. Outdoors, early October (n.L.)
Yield: 500 grams per m2 indoors. Outdoors 500+ grams per plant
Environment: Indoors. Outdoors between 50º n.L. and 50º s.L..
Effect /Buzz: Trippy, equal head and body
Smell/Taste: Creamy vanilla with undertones of skunk and pine
THC: 15-18%

Ice Cream expresses a diversity of phenotypes, all of them producing a good, tasty smoke. The common theme is extreme rapid growth and vitality, with healthy large dark green leaves and profuse resin production. Another common theme is a smooth, creamy taste that reminds of ice cream.

All Ice Cream plants give out copious amounts of trichomes, sometimes exhibiting an extremely tight formation of army-style rows of large resin heads. Ice Cream is good as a sea of green or a multi-branch plant. Ice Cream’s response tendencies are sports car like, it’s the Ferrari among the plants.

The buds themselves are white and frosty, with a hint of vanilla. The smoke is smooth, with faint undertones of skunk and pine. For both gardeners and tokers, Ice Cream offers vigor and diversity under a smooth vanilla coating.

Air Force One is a strain we’ve had several times, and just got restocked the other day with some more… I hope this becomes a regular.

It’s a strong, Sativa-dominate hybrid with a very nice flavor.

Air Force One is a Jack Herer-like strain, or as someone mentioned “Jack Here on steriods…” – so let’s talk about Jack Herer.

Jack Herer – The marijuana strain – From Wikipedia

This strain is a hybrid of Skunk #1, Northern Lights #5, and Haze.^[1]

It was named after Jack Herer, author and cannabis decriminalization activist. It has sativa dominant characteristics. The flowering time is 50–70 days.^[2]

Jack Herer won the seventh High Times Cannabis Cup.^[1]

Jack Herer – The marijuana activist – from Wikipedia

Jack Herer (born June 18, 1939, in New York City, New York) is an American cannabis activist and the author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes, a book which has been used in efforts to decriminalize cannabis.

A former Goldwater Republican, Herer is now a pro-marijuana and hemp activist. He has written two books, the aforementioned The Emperor Wears No Clothes and Grass. There has also been a documentary made about his life called, The Emperor of Hemp. He believes that the cannabis sativa plant should be decriminalized because it has been shown to be a renewable source of fuel, food, and medicine, and can be grown in virtually any part of the world, and that the U.S. government deliberately hides the proof of this. He has devoted his life to the support of cannabis, hemp and marijuana.

A specific strain of cannabis^[1] has been named after Jack Herer in honour of his work. The strain has won several awards, including the 7th High Times Cannabis Cup. Jack Herer was also introduced to the Counterculture Hall of Fame at the 16th Cannabis Cup in recognition of his first book.^[2]
