Medical marijuana dispensary review: AllGreens on Kalamath step up from ex-tenants
 |
To me, this Trainwreck cross resembles the small, skinny and silver-trichomed buds of good examples of that strain in appearance -- which isn't to say they're identical. The Chernobyl I brought home had some beautiful greens and oranges to the color, giving it a fruity look that matched the easy, fruity smell. Broken up, it let out a sweet citrus scent like the butter-lemon dipping sauce for an artichoke. It smoked with a similar sweetness on the first few hits before rounding out to a more generic ganja taste by the end. For a sativa-dominant strain, this put my head and body down like a double helping of turkey dinner. I had great forehead and eye relaxation after two hits and was put into a nice mellow place for a good hour and a half before being able to properly function again. I wouldn't seek out this strain in particular again, but what I brought home was well grown and worth the purchase.
Kong (connoisseur grade): $50/eighth
Every time I popped open a jar, the smell reminded me of strong diesel fumes mixed with, ironically, the rubbery scent of a new Kong dog chew toy. Oddly, there wasn't an extremely strong smell to the bud itself until you broke it up; then it released a much more pungent, nose-turning funk. Really pretty bud, too: dark green with hues of purple in just the right light and tiny calyxes covered in white trichomes that looked like Velcro under a microscope. Crystals fell like snowflakes on my desk while I was breaking up the herb for a spliff. It had a strong, Chemy (Chemdawg, not chemicals) taste to the first three or four hits, but it lost flavor by the middle of the joint. Smoked in a bowl later, the bud kept its flavor and burned to a white ash.
Now for the big question: Was it worth $50? No. It was a great cut of herb, and definitely better-looking than the cheaper, less-cured and machine-trimmed version Allgrens also sold. I get the extra time and effort that goes into it, and I'm the type of smoker the shop is probably trying to attract -- but paying four-year-old black-market prices for an eighth doesn't make sense to me anymore, especially when the other top-level strains sell for $10 less.
