Strain Review: Black Gas (flawless)

A quick google search tells me that Black Gas Flawless is an indica strain one whiff of it fresh from the grinder tells me I’m going to enjoy my bedtime session! Everything I read said this strain should smell gassy but I mostly smell blackberry. I could be crazy, or this could be misidentified but I don’t care, it smelled delicious and I’m definitely looking forward to smoking it. I was starting to get a migraine before I started my first session with this strain, and I certainly did not have a migraine when I finished! However about an hour after smoking is when I noticed my migraine was gone and shortly after, I did that thing where you think too much about your symptom and it all comes back. I do find my anxiety can be triggered with indicas especially heavy ones so this is just one I have to be careful with. Black Gas Flawless is a heavy hitter so I turned to it again after a few nights with a lighter strain. This strain gave me a great body high and the couch lock I look for at the end of the night. So definitely the current favorite for bedtime. I was chatty and giggly which is always fun so I’d recommend this strain for indica loving hang sessions or depression symptoms for those who can’t use sativas.

Pink Kush, a strain review

I had to search all my notes, drafts and published posts to discover I haven’t written about Pink Kush yet! This is a classic bedtime treat for me. I loved the taste and smell of this strain but it’s not always strong enough to counteract my occasional insomnia.

This strain tastes exactly what I imagine the color pink to taste like! A little floral, a little sweet, with just a little bit of berry is exactly what the color pink should taste like, don’t you agree?

A lot of websites say this strain is a heavy hitter but I’ve always found it on the lower side of indicas. Personally I’ve considered it to be mid range for strength. It’s not as strong as my favorites that knock me out but it’s not as weak as the indicas that I consider “just a tasty treat”. This strain for me is mid range even though it boasts an average 22% THC.

I didn’t feel overly high or have any negative effects. It did give me the munchies and unfortunately we are all out of cookies so I can’t say how bad the munchies are. For sleep, I’d say it made my eyes a little heavy but not “I’m going to pass out” heavy. I really like the indicas where I have a hard time keeping my eyes open. I did however sleep really well. In fact I stayed asleep and woke up refreshed with no disturbances in the night. So the perfect sleep balance and definitely a favorite these days.

Just for the heck of it, I smoked almost an entire king size to myself to see what the fuss is. I keep forgetting I have legs. That’s how strong the body high is. My tolerance is really high but I can now see how this strain might hit others quite hard. Pink is always a favorite of mine, it’s just not always strong enough. This time around it was top quality and did exactly what I needed it to. I’d recommend Pink Kush if you find the heavy hitters too strong or if you just love the taste. Like me. ?
