One of my favorite strains of all time. Once the words baby poo are mentioned, the smell can't be described as anything else lol. No ceiling, great taste. As with every strain the quality can very from grower to grower. If you see vortex covered in crystals and it smells a lil funky, grab an eighth at least.

This is my all-time-favorite strain, and it's earned its spot as my Swiss Army Knife in bud form. Anxiety issues? Need to recreate? Having trouble focusing? Insomnia keeping you up? Low/no appetite? Yep, yep, yep, yep, and yep: all boxes checked & then some. This fits the bill as medicine & recreation, for me, and it does it well. When I'm having issues and need a small window of effect, I choose Vortex. When the long work day is over and I need to unwind, Vortex is one of the top choices. It's very, very flexible. But there's a caveat: Vortex has two stages: 1) Mild stony effect, plenty of clarity. 30 minute 'high' 2) Heavy stony effect that's near a pleasant catatonia. Generates a ton of creativity and the bad mood is gone completely. 3 hour window of a potentially disorienting high. If you I smoke a several small small bowls through the course of the day, I can usually keep the medicinal/functional dose going for 8+ hours. If I overdo it and smoke too much straight off, then the heavy haze-like effect lasts for 3 hours (very consistently). This is one I purchase every time I see it offered, so it's worth trying.

Vortex is an award winning strain that is mainly sativa dominant S/I: 80/20. The bud used in this review was purchased at HPRC. A local dispensary serving local humboldt residents with an indoor all-organic alternative medicine. This bud stanks!!! The smell is a huge highlight for this bud. The very dense aroma of a mango/lime/lemonade blend meets you as you prepare to first smell it. The buds are beautifully sprinkled with a generous distribution of orange hairs and snow white tricomes. People have reported that this is their favourite tasting medicine out there, and I agree that it is top notch. The smell translates to the taste of herbs/mango/lemonade. The intake is smooth, but does have a bit of push-back, assumedly, as a result of the very pungent smells. One of the best and, i suppose, rarest buds I have come across.

Great strain!!! Though not my favorite but when you drive a rolls royce you certainly recognize it!!! I did buy the plant, but wasn't my favorite strain. I've read it is one of the best medicinal strains so I had to get her. It has a strong buzz and feel though total control and enjoy the ride. I felt uplifted energetic focused and everything else you'd enjoy in angreat strain BUT it barely touched my pain (fibro) which is why I probably won't smoke much. The oth thing for me is the smell taste and ride weren't my favorite. However, I have to acknowledge a great strain smoke and high quality. I shared it with fellow MMJ patients and they loved it! Try it out See if it helps you out.

Very focused & inspired, made me feel more clear in terms of clinical research plans...so that's something I didn't expect to have happened. Lovely smoke every time, I'm anxiety prone with several anxiety disorders and I felt...good, no unreasonable anxiety, mind clear and stress relieved.

first time I literally felt sucked into a vortex. I felt energized but if you smoke too much you will start tripping. afterwhile and with moderation i got used to the effects and it became a good daytime strain. I can dig it. not for beginners

A very productive strain. Frosty coated, sweet pungent odor and a fruity aftertaste. Its got it all. A cerebral effect. Good to snap you out of the doldrums and get you doing something. Energetic without an anxiety edge. Great for several different types of pain.
