Double Dream is a sativa-dominant hybrid of Blue Dream and Dream Star. Blue Dream is one of my favorite strains because it has such a nice blend of effects: soothing, mood-enhancing, physically relaxing, and functional. The influence of Dream Star (itself a hybrid of Blue Dream and Star Dawg, which is a descendent of Chemdawg) adds another layer of potency and complexity, tempering Blue Dream’s floaty clarity with some mellow stoniness. Double Dream has the familiar sweet, floral, berry flavor with a hint of soap that I always get from Blue Dream, but there is some spice and mango in there as well. I didn’t think Blue Dream needed improving, but Double Dream has easily surpassed it as a new favorite.
Our first batch of Double Dream has already flown off the shelf, but we are looking forward to getting more in the near-ish future!
Big Kahuna is another strain that was recommended to me by a budtender at Medithrive. Unlike Gemstone, however, Big Kahuna is aptly named, since the high washes over you like a big, friendly wave. The first time I smoked it, it took me right back to the beach in Hawaii. The buzz is strong but mellow. It doesn’t cloud your mind or paralyze you on the couch. The smell is nice and sweet, but there’s not much taste. It’s smooth but bland and sort of dusty, with maybe a hint of lavender.
We have a nice batch of Big Kahuna here at Shambhala right now. Ours tests at 13.8% THC, .17% CBD, .02% CBN. $19/gram or $60/4 grams.
J-27 is a unique sativa created from a variety of Dutch hybrids by “guru of ganja” Ed Rosenthal. Our J-27 came with a letter of recommendation from Rosenthal himself, vouching for the quality of this particular batch from this particular grower. It tested at a remarkable 26.4% THC and 0.3% CBD. $19/gram or $60/4 grams.
Grapefruit Kush has the most tantalizingly intense grapefruit aroma, and that tangy citrus also comes through in the flavor, which has creamy and hashy notes as well. It’s mellow and physically relaxing, with a heavy, soothing cerebral effect that’s clear, calm, and thoughtful. $19/gram or $60/4 grams.
You could celebrate New Year’s Eve with sparkling wine…or with some Champagne, a sweet sativa with a smoothly floral flavor. This potent strain’s uplifting effect will put you in a bubbly haze of contentment. It’s perfect for a celebratory midnight smoke! $18/gram or $55/4 grams.
Jack Frost is a euphoric, energetic sativa developed from Jack Herer, White Widow, and Northern Lights #5. This sparkly strain, with its intensely minty aroma and sweet pine flavor, is a festive treat! If you could use some holiday cheer, Jack Frost is sure to lift your spirits. $19/gram or $60/4 grams.
We love the taste of GDP Cheese because the Grand Daddy Purple sweetens the slightly funky flavor typical of Cheese. This indica-dominant hybrid is relaxing and mellow, allowing you to stay active if necessary or get an excellent night’s sleep. Come pick some up while it’s nice and fresh! $19/gram or $60/4 grams.
