Kush: Indica Dominant Hybrid (70/30) https://i.imgur.com/1KWRlJE.jpg Fire O.G. Kush is another strain that was new to me at the outset of this review, and I have to say, I am now a big fan. It’s a bit of a weirdo to look at; tall, slender and a bit leafy, but holy mother of zeus, is it fantastically caked in milky and amber trichomes. Spice lovers rejoice, the Fire O.G. has a medium-spicy quality to the nose and vapour flavour, which for me, was a welcome change from all the “berry” and sweet bud I have had lately. The potency of this bud caught me hugely off-guard, I thought it might make for a relaxing evening stone, but it’s more like a coma inducer (for me anyway). I vaped one 0.2g bowl and it knocked me out cold while I was still sat at my laptop typing this paragraph. The only other green I’ve had that knocked me out this hard lately (granted, I was a little on the tired side), was SpeedGreens’ Godberry, and that’s a primo quad, so I am pleasantly surprised by the sheer potency of Shamrock’s Fire O.G. considering it’s modest grading of AAA (I’d say AAA+). Insomniacs would be wise to have a look at this strain. My Rating: 4.5/5 Northern Lights X Haze: Indica Dominant Hybrid (70/30) https://i.imgur.com/ErdqQCt.jpg Shamrock must have been sold out of this strain at the time of writing this review, it is the only strain I was unable to find a letter grade for (perhaps Shamrock can clarify in the comments section). This strain came wrapped up in a raw pre-roll, which I immediately broke up and discarded--I hate RAW, they’re cliche, pop-culture, hip-hop schwag. The pre-roll weighed up at 0.9g, and I suspect it started at 1g before drying slightly. The grind and moisture content of the weed inside the pre-roll was right what it should be for joints, these are solid pre-rolls if that’s your thing. The nose was pretty muted, having been pre-milled and rolled, but I found it had a bit of a spicy note to it, and I didn’t pick up on much of the limonene profile that is typical with haze strains. The limonene came out a bit in the vape flavour, but it was honestly pretty muted also--I’m not a fan of pre-rolls, they tend to be dry and harsh, and if they sit around for any amount of time, they lose all flavour. Since the NLXH inside this pre-roll wasn’t particularly dry (maybe a little), the vapour was surprisingly smooth, though I did cough a bit at the upper range. I find the haze strains are sleight creepers, the stone continues to increase after the bowl is done--I love that sensation and it is definitely present here. This was much more the relaxing evening weed I was looking for. Haze lovers can’t go wrong, and I’d say the AAA grade is right on point. My Rating: 3.8/5 Pink Kush: Indica Dominant Hybrid (90/10) https://i.imgur.com/l3mVIt2.jpg Again, Shamrock must have been sold out, as I was unable to find a letter grade for their pink kush, but if I had to guesstimate, I’d say it’s high-trip or low-quad. This is nice pink kush, the buds are lush, they are completely iced in milky trichomes, and the nose and vapour flavour have that classic spicy kushy goodness. In my humble opinion, this crop of pink kush was harvested at the perfect time (harvest time and ripeness contribute to the quality of the high, couchlock/non, etc.), it has an ultra-relaxing high without being too couch-lockey or motivationally demolishing. Not a lot of time is needed to review pink kush, people know this strain, suffice it to say, this is a very nice example, indeed. My Rating: 4.2/5 Double Black by Love + Organic: 100% Indica https://i.imgur.com/58Tc2LD.jpg I was so stoked for these organic samples that I had to save the best for last! People who have read my FarmHard review will know that I am quickly becoming a massive organic cannabis fan. It is a cleaner, smoother, and healthier choice that is devoid of the nasty pesticides and flavour chems that are, in this reviewer's opinion, far too prevalent in the cannabis industry at present. Love + Organic’s Double Black is absolute perfection. For organically grown cannabis, I could not believe the natural terpene profile that was reeking off of this ridiculously dense, immaculately trimmed, expertly harvested and cured, dynamo of a bud. I was fully drunk on the piney, sour aroma that filled my living-room the minute I pulled the bud out of the bag. The vapour flavour is some of the best I’ve had, period, and it is velvety on the throat compared to some non-organic strains I’ve tried lately. The effects of the Double Black are deeply relaxing and long-lasting, without an opioid-level sedation--I did not find myself drooling on the keyboard with this one. By my estimation, this strain is a quality painkiller, though admittedly not as good as the UBC Chemo. Overall, expert-level organic greens: to put it in perspective, if FarmHard grows good organic cannabis, Love + Organic grows STUPENDOUS organic cannabis. My Rating: 5/5 UBC Chemo by Love + Organic: 100% Indica https://i.imgur.com/V9VSe1e.jpg When you start naming cannabis strains after horrible radiological medical treatments, I start expecting a lot--by the way, shouldn’t it be called, UBC Chemo “Relief,” or something to that effect? I don’t want weed that makes me feel like I’m being irradiated. I digress. So, does it live up to it’s namesake? Does it contain the powerfully relieving effects that would be required for patients undergoing chemotherapy? I do not have cancer, but I think this cannabis might offer at least a degree of relief to even the worst illness sufferers. If I may be so bold, it might be the best relief I have experienced from cannabis--not that I am a full-time chronic pain sufferer, but I am a chronic/terminal disease sufferer, and this cannabis offers great relief to a number of my issues (nausea, lack of appetite, sleeplessness, etc.). UBC Chemo is a highly potent and highly sedative cannabis strain, and I do not recommend it for beginners, hell, even some people who think they have a high-tolerance might be surprised--personally, I really had to fight the urge to sleep. The Chemo is another spicy meatball, it especially comes out when ground up, and it carries through in the smooth vapour flavour. The effects are very potent, long-lasting, and medically relevant. Medical users and chronic “thing” sufferers, this is the one for you. My Rating: 5/5... All, day, long. Incentive for Customers: Free shipping over $99, $10 express shipping Canada wide under $99, $25 first-time customer promotional package that carries a purported $50 in value, and a referral/affiliate rewards program. Incentive for Review: Samples were provided for review. Notes: I highly recommend trying Shamrock's Love + Organic strains; I was overjoyed when I found that they ship with trace chemical analysis data sheets, that prove-out 0% trace chemicals as well as provide THC%.

The BlarneySTONED Highrishman - 10 Magically Delicious Strains, from the Emerald Isle of Shamrock Cannabis! (Part I)

I have no affiliation with Shamrock Cannabis beyond the scope of this marijuana audit. I am a medical user, and thus, I review cannabis in terms of it’s healing and therapeutic properties. MOM Name Shamrock Cannabis shamrockcannabis.com Overall rating out of 10: 8 https://i.imgur.com/JJtPCAs.jpg --------------- Sign Up: Signup is typical e-commerce, create an account, pick your products, checkout. Pretty standard stuff. The website is clean and easy to navigate, maybe not the most dynamic website around, but in my experience, all that extra webdesign fluff just makes for a chaotic and overly busy customer experience. I much prefer a minimalistic layout with these sites, and Shamrock’s is nicely organized without being excessively aesthetic or “beep-boopy.” Ordering & Pricing: No surprises here, the ordering is straightforward and simple. Shamrock offers a great deal on a $25 first-time customer sample package, that comes with two grams and a pre-roll (strains are your choice), a large plastic grinder, a lighter, a d00b-tube, joint-holder, and one empty RAW pre-roll cone paper, with free shipping. This is a really good deal, you get to try the products, plus a few useful goodies (the grinder is really large and decent), and anything you order in addition to the sample package still includes free-shipping. Shamrock offers a great mix and match half oz deal. I like these half oz mix deals, it gives you a good sampling of a MOMs products for a fairly reasonable price. Shamrock’s is priced at $105 for the half. Beyond this, I did not make a legitimate purchase, and thus will refrain from commenting on pricing in general. Communication: Good communication, emails were all answered promptly and in a friendly and professional manner. Packaging: Standard mailer with products packed and vacuum sealed inside, no scent. Each sample was individually packed in its own mylar bag and all are presented very nicely. Each strain package has a sticker that identifies the strain lineage (indica, sativa, hybrid), as well as their actual ratio (80/20. 60/40, etc.). I highly appreciated seeing those ratios on the strain package, it made it easier to choose for specific times and moods, as I didn’t have to run to Leafly every 10 minutes. Products / Photos: General Notes: As they were samples, each of the buds were generally popcorn sized, save a couple strains, and the trim was good to excellent depending on the strain. Each sample was a medium to high density, and all had an excellent cure. Sunshine: Sativa Dominant Hybrid (70/30) https://i.imgur.com/VOyeqMq.jpg The aroma of the Sunshine bud is a bit hard to describe. It has a primarily sour/skunky nose to it, with a hint of what I can only describe as a chemical type smell, sort of like a mild cleaning product. It isn’t a strong smell, and it’s not terribly “off-putting” per se, but it is there, at least to my schnoz. That same chemical terpene profile came across in the vape flavour as well, but it was fairy short-lived, and became more palatable after a minute or so in the heat. I had a bit of a coughing fit at the upper temps, where it became a wee bit harsh. The effects were surprisingly potent considering the AAA grade, the stone was very cerebral and spacey (this paragraph took forever to get through, I kept spacing out, lol). Overall, the sunshine lives up to its name; it is a happy, energetic high that was great for afternoon use (maybe not for concentration), and is a long-lasting buzz. My Rating: 4/5 Green Crack: Sativa Dominant Hybrid (65/35) https://i.imgur.com/GNKLG5R.jpg I love the look of the green crack strain, it’s so evergreeny and effervescent! The nose on this green crack is a mild but ultra-fresh piney scent that fully carries through in the vaporizer, and I find it quite appealing and refreshing! Green Crack is definitely one of those strains that is known for its high-potency, and one close look at my photo here will tell you why. It is absolutely painted, wall-to-wall in glistening milky and amber trichomes, and the high hits fast. Its funny, the Sunshine and Green Crack are within the same lineage ratio, yet the effects are quite different. The green crack, as many already know, is a high-energy, clear’ish-headed sativa buzz, where as the Sunshine is much more spacey. Green crack is more of a functional daytime weed, for me at least--I am still able to concentrate and get work done. For those who know and love this strain, this is an excellent, clean and potent grow for the money, and I daresay it may be slightly underrated at AAA. The duration of the high was quite long, good value. My Rating: 4.2/5 Lemon O.G.: Indica Dominant Hybrid (60/40) https://i.imgur.com/0xy9ELj.jpg This bud was one of the exceptions with respect to popcorn size--it was a nice, big, frosty nugget. There is a good amount of tackiness to this bud (it was sticking to the side of the mylar bag), and the trichomes, though not the most mature I have seen, have started stacking so high in places that I think they are actively trying to form sugar cubes! The aroma once ground up is a potent, gassy, sour smell that I found really appealing. The Lemon OG is a very sexy looking bud, classic cannabisy with all the trimmin’s, and it is dense like hardwood. I gotta be honest, I don’t typically pickup on a lot of these flavour proxies that the business uses to describe terpene profiles (chocolate, candy, shark :P, etc.), but I did get a note of lemon among the gassy vapor flavour. That flavour lasted quite a while in the vape, which I was pleasantly surprised by. The near balanced hybrid stone came on in just a few exhales and I found this strain very relaxing in an overall sense--quieter mind, calmer body--but it is potent, so I’d be careful feeding it to weed babies. I feel like I need some of this bud for video gaming or watching movies, great for chilling and staying in on them cold winter nights. ;) Shamrock’s Lemon OG produces silky smooth vapour all the way up at 220C, and seems to retain a degree of terpene profile for a pleasantly long time. The effects are long in duration, as they should be with a quad. This is probably the best Lemon OG I have personally tried, and it has made me a lot more curious about this strain--might be great for creativity as it is fairly psychoactive--sounds and colours enhanced, etc. This bud is a re-order no-brainer for me. My Rating: 4.8/5. Good Stuff! Pink Rockstar: Indica Dominant Hybrid (60/40) https://i.imgur.com/OixW8VX.jpg One of my all-time favourites, I find that pink rockstar has the ability to “take the edge off,” even at the worst of times. You get the anti-anxiety effect of the rockstar, the pain killing effect of the pink kush, and it just makes for great medicine. Shamrock’s letter grade of AAA is pretty much right on point, as the potency (strength and duration) are better than average, but fall short of top-tier. Personally, I find the smell of pink rockstar rather musty, but it is a fresh-musty (oxymoron?), not like a dirty old sock in the sun. Shamrock’s PR is no exception, though it smells quite fresh and slightly mild compared to some grows I have had. The buds here are a bit less dense than some of Shamrock’s other strains but were generally attractive, and fairly coated in trichomes. The vapour is a tad harsh, at most temps, but ultimately, I find that pink rockstar is always a little harsh--a trade off for the potency, I reckon. My Rating: 3.8/5 Pineapple: Balanced Hybrid (50/50) https://i.imgur.com/gAVWjmz.jpg Shamrock’s pineapple has a superb aroma--I’d wear this as cologne. I don’t get “pineapple” from it exactly, it is more like a bouquet of sweet smelling flowers. Have a good look at my photo of this bud, it is one fine cannabis specimen! It’s orangely happy, dense as a mahogany peg-leg, and slathered in mature little trichome buddies. The vapour stayed silky smooth at all temps, and the flavor is strongly floral, which I loved; it’s almost like eating flower petals (I know, I do this). The effects of Shamrock’s pineapple strain are some of the more, truly balanced effects, that I have had the pleasure to try. It really is the best of both the indica and sativa worlds--nice strong body buzz with a psychoactive component--and I could see this being a great social bud to share with friends or to enjoy an evening out. Again, I daresay this bud is a tad underrated at AAA, I think I would lift it up to AAA+ or even AAAA-. I am going to seriously consider re-ordering this strain. My Rating: 4.4/5 Incentive for Customers: Free shipping over $99, $10 express shipping Canada wide under $99, $25 first-time customer promotional package that carries a purported $50 in value, and a referral/affiliate rewards program. Incentive for Review: Samples were provided for review. Notes: There are definitely a few killer strains that Shamrock carries that I am considering re-ordering, primarily the Pineapple and Lemon O.G. from this half of the review.

Lucky Shamrock Cannabis - 8 gram sample pack

Keyll

What's on the other side of the rainbow...? http://feedthemultiverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/shamrockreview.jpg Shamrock Review 9/10 Perks for me: I ordered their $25 new customer special which includes a grinder, lighter, 2 grams, and a preroll of your choice, I also received a doob toob with an empty pre-roll (you can suck the weed right into it! WHY HAVE I NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE!) This helped me understand rolling a joint better than I ever had before. Most importantly, I inquired if they would like strain reviews since they new, and received six additional grams to review!! Wow! Thanks, Shamrock! Other than that, I have no affiliation with this company. Perks for you: Free shipping over $99. Regular shipping is only $10, making it viable for small orders. You too could order the $25 new customer special if you want some Shamrock gear! It also gives you 2 grams and a joint, so it's really a good deal. No affiliate/referral discounts unless you get a friend to email refer you. No id required. Customer Service: Order placed on the weekend. Customer service was fast to get back to me and I received multiple emails clarifying where I was in the ordering process, including one to indicate they had posted the item Sunday but it would not be picked up by the mail until Monday, and a tracking number. The tracking had not been picked up by Monday night, however, Canada Post is on strike and therefore none of this is their fault. I received my item on Wednesday, which is when I would expect an item to arrive. Packaging: Exterior could be any package, nothing of note. Interior contains one vacuum sealed bag which was full of all of the samples in their own baggies. It’s no different than anything else I receive but I swear I could smell the slightest trace of marijuana on the inside of that bag before I opened up the inner packaging, and then all hell broke loose. The buds are EXTREMELY smelly! Which is fabulous to me, everything smells dank now! Recommend additional layer of vacuum sealing, especially if it will be in transit over the weekend/long weekend. I may just be paranoid, I had a lot of weed nearby. All of the buds are contained in mid-level opaque on one side, clear on the other zippies (a step up from the classic baggie) with holographic custom stickers and labels, all of which could be carefully removed for your own containment if you so desire. They also included 2 unstuck stickers. Holographic things are my second favorite after cannabis.
