Exceptional Sativa! You don't need coffee or anything else. This is THE perfect strain. Clear-headed high, very focused, very energizing and oddly -- No anxiety even though I am prone to it. I absolutely love this as my morning/daytime toke. So glad ATG in Salem had it. Hope they continue serving this amazing strain.
Amount Bought: 7 G
Price: $60
Consumption: 16 inch straight tube bong
After picking up this bud, I decided to do some homework before smoking it. I'm currently a computer engineering major in college, so my homework gets pretty tedious and abstract at some points.
After mindless staring at lines of code on my computer for about 1-2 hours, I was fed up and decided to just take a bong hit. After about 5 minutes I felt more focused than I've ever felt in my life. I starting pounding away at my keyboard and after about 10 minutes, all of my assignments were done and I was sitting silently in a spine tingling euphoria.
I think it's safe to say this is my new go to strain for studying. ☺
This strain puts me on my ass. Hits hard, not like a strong indica where you feel super weighed down, but quite the opposite feel super light and focused. Chores get done in no time, can be used for relaxation as well though I prefer for when I have something to do. Definitely behind the eyes, but very little body effects, slightly tingly. No couch lock even when consumed in larger quantities

sorry, just too busy bending spoons with my mind to write this review...I almost forgot how to sativa.
This is very excellent medication if you suffer from Depression. It's also good if you are Bipolar, have PTSD or suffer from mild attacks of Schizophrenia. I also helps to relieve nervous Ticks like Hair Pulling.
It has a stabilizing effect on the human mind and makes the human mind relax. It quiets the Subconscious Mind and soothes the emotions.
This is the strain for those that purely enjoy the act of smoking above all else, yet it doesn't compromise on it's high, providing an uplifting, almost spiritual experience. This is a strain best for joints.
Visually the buds are very dense, with tiny, dusty flowers with pale orange stamens packed closely together, appearing as one thick mass of plant from afar. The tricchromes are closer to a dark suede than white and appear wet and less crystalline than some other strains.
The smell is sweet -- sweeter than any strain I have tried before, with an overtone of pine and warm earthy undertone. Though the smell is beautiful, this strain is not particularly stinky, like kush or purps, lending a nice pleasantness to itself.
The taste exceeds the excellent aroma, having the flavors of Meyer lemon pie and bittersweet chocolate (which is well-accentuated by tobacco if one cuts their joints this way). The chocolate flavors are tasted on the inhale and the sweet, non-bitter lemon flavors come through on the exhale and stick around for a dozen seconds or so. The best tasting bud there is.
The high is felt almost immediately when smoked, but takes a while to peak -- slow and steady, building up smoothly never seeming to be too much no matter how much you smoke, which, if you enjoy the act of smoking cannabis, is a good thing. It is stimulating, but not uncomfortable with little to no anxiety. There is a pleasant floatiness in the body and the mind, thoughts drifting to a metaphysical, even religious nature. This is a great strain for a few very close friends who love to chew the fat on the bigger things in life.
Overall, this strain is one of my top 5 favorites, perhaps even my favorite. It is a wild cannabis strain, meaning that is has not been cross-bed (though probably selectively bred) and has an "ancient" lineage. It is a wonder the high is so pleasant compared to sativa hybrids. I highly recommend that anyone in need of a sativa dominant strain dry this one.
Location: Lightshade on Sheridan
THC: 1.22%
CBD: Unknown
THC-A: 21.5%
Additional Notes: Tried four flavors from two different Lightshade locations. Two were hit, two were miss. This is one of the misses.
Appearance Rating: 3.00 Appearance Description: The individuals growing this strain did a great job. However, I did find a couple of seeds which was a little disappointing. The trimmers left all sorts of leaf and stems - and not the leaves covered in trichomes.
Taste Rating: 4.00
Taste Description: The flavor of these is rather unique. It is almost a sweet lemon citrus with an herby spice to it. This is not one of my favorite flavors, but was a nice change of pace.
Effects Rating: 4.00
Effects Description: This strain gave me some creative energy and put me in the mood to get things done. Despite having strong sativa effects, I didn't feel any anxiety from it. The high seemed to come in and leave relatively quickly.
Overall Rating: 3.67
Overall Summary: It is really disappointing to see these with leaves, stems, and even some seeds. I feel this strain has some serious potential, but everyone involved in the cultivation of this cut has some room for improvement.

Very clear, energetic, completely mental strain. The smell is great reminds me of a blend of Mediterranean spices. Great for listening to music while getting things done.
