I like to write long reviews but short story, this my favorite strain and is unbelievable for depression. Perfect morning strain. Honestly, this is no "beginner" strain and anyone that has grown this strain right, is in for a ride. I found that as a small guy with a fairly high tolerance (even when I haven't smoked for a while) it even knocks me back with only a bowl or two. As for real beginners, I've seen this strain fry people so badly that they could only function on the most basic levels. A few were lucky if they could stand or even talk but never did they have a bad trip. So even though they were to the point where they should have "greened out", the strain had a wonderful balance that never led them to that point. Take this strain slow and warn anyone with a low tolerance to take it extra slow. As responsible stoners, it's the perfect strain for the community to have as medicine.
Method Intake: small bong.
Started off with mild buzz and then the Ghost Train hit me. I think they call it the ghost train haze because it's silent and invisible and it hits you like a train, and the first effect is feeling wobbly or dizzy. Careful on taking too many hits because you "don't feel it yet". This train will catch up to you. Starts off with insane feeling sensory amplification. Drinking a dr. pepper was painful as the sizzling soda ran down my throat. Trying to let out a burp that just wont go and keeps building up has to be one of the worst things i've felt. So remember the amplification can go both ways. I recommend laying on a bed while riding the ghost train to feel like you're on a bed of clouds. Stopped my sweating. Nighttime or Day off use recommended.

Ghost Train does what it says it does... an energetic sativa that helps maintain focus. Overall, that's something I cherish in a sativa, which is why I'm crazy about Lemon Diesel. The problem I have with Ghost Train is that it completely lacks any mood elevation. It's an upper without adding that nice smiley kick that I look for in my weed. Since I deal with depression and anxiety, giving me an energy jolt that doesn't also mellow my mind is a recipe for a stressful high.
All that said, I've found the combination of Ghost Train and Sour Tsunami to be an excellent daytime smoke.
Back on the G-Train, from a different grow and its good. GTH is a sweet smelling Hazy strain that has a bad ass name. She smokes easy, the fog is light and like most mind traveling Sativa's you can do them all day.
Sativa girrrrl says: goddamn. I said goddamn. Like Uma Thurman, in pulp fiction. This put me "in the zone" if you've never been there:it's on time, laser precise, making things look effortless. Without thinking. "Mind, no mind" some Japanese word for that. Anyhow, I could sing a song, invent a product, cook a badass meal, write frontwards and backwards, simontaniously, completing a sentence in the middle. I'd love to shoot a firearm...In a video game of course. Because all the while, it feels very psychedelic. Silly matrix type, or whatever Angelina Jolie movie. This is a GEM. Recommended by the girl at the dispensary. Says it's her favorite. I concur.
Note: some warn of anxiety. I can only speak for myself- I have adhd. (Shocker) and this strain makes me feel focused, not anxious at all, and I have occasional panic attacks. Feels great. I wouldn't say it's an everyday sativa, unless maybe you work your way up to it. It's an ass kicker. No joke. A bit much for the day to day grind rat races shit. So get your hands on this any chance you get, grab a hot date, good friend, cute puppy, or kick it solo with all of the above in your own damn mind. I'd say, it's a party. Party of 2, 6, 8, or 1. It's a party waiting to happen. So spark it up!
Perfect for morning use, don't know about the anxiety tho as I'm prone to it and didn't notice any increased anxiety to speak of. Great lemony tasting stuff, packs a nice energizing punch.

This strain was recommended to me by a Tucson bud tender when I asked him to recommend a Sativa that could help with my Chronic Pain, Depression & Anxiety yet help with my ADD, morning fatigue, fogginess, lack of motivation and loss of creativity.
If I'd have had my Good Old Leafly with me I'd have been able to check the NEGATIVES to discover it causes paranoia and anxiety. I know now that there are tons of other strains that would have been more suitable. From now on I *will* take Leafly into every dispensary and research each recommended strain to check that it checks out on all three categories: Effects, Medical & Negatives.
I do use Gth to turn on the creative juices; but only when I'm in a solid, positive headspace where the anxiety & paranoia aren't as likely to creep up on me. Even then, I start out slow, vaping at a low temperature, letting the effects slowly come on so I can switch to a different strain (one that will counteract the anxiety & paranoia.
It just goes to show that WE, the consumer/patient shouldn't overly rely on Budtenders advice. Don't get me wrong; Most of them are the most knowledgeable, kind, compassionate people you'd ever meet. But not everyone takes the job for the love of spreading the word on this remarkable healing plant. They see so many repeat customers (especially in legal states) that they begin to assume every customer knows the score.
But many medical patients haven't smoked weed since it came in baggies (the fold top that you had to roll & lick to seal) with stems & seeds.) They don't want to look stupid so they don't ask the questions. Budtenders need to be proactive and approach customers in a way that puts them at ease so they feel free to ask so-called "dumb questions", which of course there aren't any.
Oh, HELL NO! Let me qualify that one star. I am a casual 2 to 3 times a week smoker and I am a bit of a lightweight, so take this review with a grain of salt. One hit of this strain, and I got super paranoid and anxious. I was watching Across The Universe, which is filled with great, inspiring Beatles' songs, and still GTH put me in my head and gave me a racing heart beat. If you don't get paranoid or anxious on weed, by all means, enjoy its strength. For me, GTH is on my "Do Not Fly List."
