Purple Dragon's Blood Review

What an exciting strain. Of all the ones I've tried so far, this is my favorite. It came highly recommended from a friendly bud-tender.











Strain: Purple Dragon's Blood
Genetics: Purple Haze x Dutch Dragon; Hybrid (Indica 70/30)
Looks: 5/5
Smell: 5/5
Taste: 3.5/5
Effect: 5/5
As stated above, this strain came highly recommended. The bud-tender was nice enough to put a bud under the scope and we explored through the forest of trichomes. They were everywhere, brilliant, translucent little crystal mushrooms in abundance. 

Don't be deceived by the pictures--it does look a little stemmy but I picked this up a few weeks ago and have already smoked quite a bit of it. The first picture is the nearest representation of what the bud looked like when I got it. It's sticky to the touch, even breaking a piece off of the larger nug would make my fingers sticky enough to pick up a piece of paper like Spiderman. Like the Platinum Blue Dream, it slows up the grinder quite a bit. 

The taste isn't the greatest I've had, but it's still a lot nicer than bio-diesel taste. What really does it for me, though, is the type of high that comes with it; that right in the middle high that isn't so fast and upbeat that it creates anxiety and paranoia and won't stick you to the couch and make you pass out early like a noob, unless you want it to. Not only does this strain offer a fairly balanced high, you can manipulate it based on what you want to do. 
Want to go out and do something? Perfect, it won't drag you down but you'll be so relaxed that every situation flows naturally. 
Have trouble sleeping? Not with this. I can smoke a bowl of the same stuff that helped me get a 100% on my economics test and get to bed early for the next day. It just depends how you're feeling and what you want. Though, if you're already pretty tired, this might just make you more tired. 

I see this being a staple strain for me. In time's like these, functionality is essential.

100% economics

I had a pretty good Thursday. My early class was only in session for make up exams so I got to sleep a little bit more than usual, but parking can be a pain so I still left at a reasonable time. I brought along my tools: scissors, grinder, index card, paper, and, of course, the herb. This time it was Jack Herrer II (Secret Haze x Red Skunk, 80/20 Sativa) I had a few hours to kill so I rolled up a little cone and busted out the macroeconomics book to study for the quiz I was to take in a few hours. Ended up getting 100% on the quiz. I never imagined that I'd enjoy economics, let alone macroeconomics--I couldn't stand it in high school.

Unfortunately, I didn't fare so well on the history midterm. I didn't put enough effort into it so I pulled a 76%. Thankfully, the teacher is pretty cool and is letting us revise one thing based on his commentary for up to a letter grade, so I'm in the process of re-reading The Federalist no. 51.

Sometime soon, hopefully tomorrow, I'll do a review on my favorite strain that I've come across--Purple Dragon's Blood. It's an indica dominant hybrid, but not necessarily a couchlocker. I have the bong cleaned out and ready to go for tomorrow.

Also: Cataclysm is coming out soon, I'm thinking about getting a laptop and playing this at work. I really enjoyed the WotLK and BC expansions and the new trailer makes it even more enticing.

Introduction

A little bit about myself: I'm a college student and I have a doctor's recommendation to use cannabis to help alleviate social anxiety, stress, and insomnia. Plus I like being high, and if you're reading this then you probably do too. I'm thankful that I'm a Californian. I'm interested in music (mainly various sub-genres of rap and metal), science, philosophy, rpg's/mmorpg's, cooking and eating, doing new shit (like experimenting with mind altering substances...legal for obvious reasons), comedy, and a lot more shit I'm leaving out due to laziness. The reason I started this blog was to just ramble about shit while I'm high and do strain reviews  whenever I get new stuff. And it wouldn't hurt to make some supplemental money from adsense either, lol. This is all of the relevant information that I can think of.
