an off-shoot of Skunk #1, ISS is a good solid sativa; nice semi-sweet flowery taste; great for a day-time high to relieve stress & anxiety and still keep you going..a review from Naggles at the Berkley Patients Care Collective:
For this week's review, I get a chance to look at one of my very favorite skunk strains: Island Sweet Skunk. A sativa heavy hybrid, Island Sweet Skunk is most often considered a phenotype of Skunk #1 or a close relative. They certainly share similarities in appearance, displaying the same shade of light green. The bud structure on the Island Sweet Skunk is a bit more airy, tending more towards the sativa side. This difference helps indicate that it will be a more mental and uplifting experience. Although the buds are not quite as dense as you would see in an indica heavy hybrid, the sample I’ve been provided has a golden sheen to it from its generous coating of resin.
Now I’d be lying to you if I said I waited until this point to crack open a bag and sample the smell. In fact, before even glancing at the front of the bag I have a nose full of skunky perfume. A truly complex scent greets me: a savory and sweet juxtaposition that gives me the impression that my nostrils want to fight one another. These warring sensations serve to entice rather than repulse like it’s animal namesake.
For this review I decided to try something new: sampling from a bong. The airy bud structure, coupled with previous knowledge of course, makes me think that rolling this particular strain would be less pleasant. Often, sativa-heavy hybrids will end up far too springy, making it difficult for me to form it into the desired shape. Just for ease of consumption, I’ve decided to use my water pipe. The hit is smooth and strong, with a citrusy kick. The onset of the high is very rapid, happening just as I finished my first bowl. The strength of this particular sample left me reeling, but it quickly settled into the energetic and uplifting high I had been expecting. All in all, I am pleased by [the functional-high] the experience [had].
this mostly sativa hybrid is a cross of superskunk x grapefruit is a really good strain for getting thing done. super potent super crystally. smells and tastes of grapefruit and other citrus. dont cut early it really does alot the last 2 weeks
Really great strain. Extremely dank, not good for concealing it ANYWHERE. Amazing high. Slowly numbs you from head to toe. A fun strain to some when you have absolutely nothing to do!
This strain has changed my life. It has my favourite focused sativa high, it's beautiful. I suffer from depression and I think it's impossible to feel sad while on this magnificent strain :) I would highly recommend it to anybody who feels down or wants an extreme energy boost during the middle of your stoner day! All in all, Island Sweet Skunk gives you a strong energy boost and can help you accomplish any boring task in your day 10/10

An excellent sativa, especially for daytime use. Very uplifting and clear headed effects with a mild euphoria. Initial smell reveals a tropical fruity scent, followed closely by subtle skunky undertones. The taste mirrors the scent profile, starting with a strong fruity flavour finishing with a slight skunk aftertaste. A great choice for anyone who is looking for a functional daytime medication.
best strain period. smells like white sage being burnt. very clear and no bad side effects. very potent so one hit lasts along time.
Strong pain relief, it's like the Hawaiian Punch guy surfed in on a wave of Starburst and decked my migraine in the face.

Daytime, get productive high. Energetic and creative and talkative. Great for outdoors and socializing. Light heady high with less body high. Super happy with this one but focused and no problem getting things accomplished.
