Red Lebanese Hash - The Natural Remedy - December 2020

/u/thechronickid_00

More Pictures : https://imgur.com/a/CknZv7x My second time having this Red Lebanese from TNR. This one is less reddish in appearance, sporting more of a burgundy shade with a lighter hued interior. The texture is a little solid at first but even holding it for a couple minutes leaves it pretty malleable and workable but still of a harder density than the prior time. The picture above is after splitting it in half as the 3.5 chunk came in a very neat little brick which can also be seen in the album. Other than the appearance, everything else is identical to last batch. As soon as I smelled this hash I knew I was in for a treat. Aromas of fresh earth and soil as it's so rich and herbal, with sweet and spicy undertones. Also translates to flavour where it really shins. Very tasty hash, with a silky smoothness that's unrivalled by any I've tried. Amazing by itself in a pipe where you can really taste everything but also mixes and compliments flower in a bowl or joint where it fills the air with a pleasant and aromatic, incense like aroma. The high it produces is excellent even though it doesn't excel at being a super potent one. It acts like more of a euphoric, sativa driven buzz at first, being very uplifting and noticeably social, with a mild and mellow body stone that gets stronger with time and amount consumed. I can smoke on this stuff all day long and feel great. A slight burn out afterwards but no major crash. I've tried nearly every hash TNR has and they all have been of exceptional quality, this one being my favourite so far. The only one I've yet to try is the Michelangelo hash which will be next.

Watermelon - The Natural Remedy - December 2020

/u/thechronickid_00

More pics : http://imgur.com/a/Gts52sT Just like the Blue Lights, this Watermelon is one I thoroughly enjoyed and it looks even better this time around as the nugs are plumper. Everything else is identical however. Gorgeous, vibrant colours on display as they sport a combination of soft greens with dark purple accents, accompanied by a mix of orange and brown pistils. A bit of remaining sugar leaf as well. Frosty and sticky to the touch, definitely most suited for a grinder. The profile on this Watermelon is it's strong suit as it smells absolutely delightful. Not necessarily like watermelon but it's very sweet and fruity, reminiscent of juicy red berries, maybe even a little strawberry. The flavour is equally as enjoyable, offering those same sweet berry terps with an added herbal touch upon exhaling. Very smooth and clean burning, producing a milky smoke and resinous oil ring. A strain with unknown genetics but is said to be an indica dominant hybrid in it's effects. I would say that sounds very accurate to what I experienced as it definitely embodies a few telltale indica traits. An extremely relaxing and easy going buzz that gets stronger with time, washing away any negativity or anxiety as it's also uplifting and upbeat. Not a knock out or sedating type at all but more so an indica that can be enjoyed at any time.

Blue Lights - The Natural Remedy - December 2020

/u/thechronickid_00

Full Album : https://imgur.com/a/dByPy74 I reviewed this lovely cross of Blueberry and Northern Lights just a few weeks ago and enjoyed it so much that I had to get some more. It's identical this time around as well. Dense, greasy, super photogenic buds that are wonderfully coloured and coated in purple streaks and sugary white trichomes. Extremely caked and sticky with a precise trim and terrific cure to follow. One of those times where you can't put the jar down as the aromas are very addicting. Sweet fragrances of blueberries that are accented by earthy and herbal undertones. Very aromatic and full flavoured, providing a tasty smoke that remains smooth from start to finish. Great burn as well, leaving behind a clean white ash and greasy oil ring. I found the effects to be equally balanced in the early stages of the high. An even mix of cerebral and euphoric qualities that make it great for focus related tasks as well as creative ones. It's also uplifting and relaxing, giving it a mellow and happy demeanour. As the high wore off, it left me slightly burned out and lazy, enforcing it's indica dominance in the long run. A very enjoyable strain altogether and one of the best I've had from TNR.

Cherry Blossom - The Natural Remedy - December 2020

/u/thechronickid_00

More Pictures : https://imgur.com/a/0HXEeo7 Saved my favourite one for last. Cherry Blossom. A strain with unknown genetics, although rumoured to involve Berry Blossom and Cherry Pie. A beautiful forest green appearance, sporting a dense, tight bud structure, topped off by a magnitude of cloudy white trichomes. They are also populated by a plethora of lovely orange pistils and subtle shades of purple. Moderately sticky and trimmed very neatly. Staying true to it's name, this one smelled remarkably like fresh cherries at first. There are other fruity nuances detected after a long sniff as well, adding notes of sweet berries to the mix, followed by a touch of earth. The same terps carry over to the taste, just a little less pronounced, offering a sweet, berry accented smoke that fades into a bit of a pine flavour. Effortlessly smooth and easy on the lungs, burning with a light coloured ash and decent grease ring. An indica leaning high, although one would never guess it to be so, as it begins feeling rather sativa in nature. Opening up with a cerebral stone that feels very focused and clear headed. Halfway through the high is when it starts exuding more indica themed tendencies as it transitions into a super calming, relaxing stone. It's not an instant knock out but it's definitely the type to have you lazily yawning afterwards.

Bubba Kush - The Natural Remedy - December 2020

/u/thechronickid_00

Full Album : http://imgur.com/a/OrVXTqb Classic Bubba Kush, arriving as beautiful, vibrant green buds that are smothered in a sea of long stalked crystals. Further accented by hints of purple and reddish-orange hairs. Fluffy, but not airy, as the buds contain a decent amount of moisture and stickiness. Very nicely manicured as well. A very enjoyable aroma profile on this Bubba Kush. A combination of sweet pine and herbs, paired with a pungent, fruity backend. The flavour is less intricate then the aroma would suggest unfortunately, offering an earthy-herbal smoke. Super smoother however, burning to a light grey ash with a slow building resin ring. Fairly potent in nature, delivering euphoric and calming effects paired with a mellow, relaxing couch lock. Very balanced as it's both heady and physically aiding, allowing you to veg out on the couch worry free. Also can be somewhat of a creeper high as it rolls on slowly but surely.

Peanut Butter Breath - The Natural Remedy - December 2020

/u/thechronickid_00

More Pictures : https://imgur.com/a/2VxgJ5l Next up from The Natural Remedy and a strain I haven't had a whole lot, Peanut Butter Breath. Semi dense, pine tree green nugs that are heavily coated in glistening trichomes and complimented by hickory coloured pistils. A little crisp on the outside, possibly due to the excess leaf, though decently sticky when broken apart. This one manages to stay true to it's name, but in a subtle way, resembling a raw peanut rather than peanut butter. Fragrances and flavours of earth, herbs and nuts, followed by slightly sour undertones. It's initially smooth but becomes a little acrid on exhale with it's expansive smoke, all while burning a salt and pepper ash and modest oil ring. The effects are quite potent, quickly delivering a dreamy and stoney head high that's shortly followed by a slight body relaxation. Mostly hybrid in nature as it leaves you calm and comfortably lazy while allowing the mind to stay a drift and awake, making it the ideal type of high for gaming or binge watching.

Cookies Kush - The Natural Remedy - December 2020

/u/thechronickid_00

More Pictures : https://imgur.com/a/VpQYeq4 Genetics : GSC x OG Kush Cookies Kush, a strain I've never had before which always makes for an exciting review. These scrumptious looking, slightly fox-tailed buds are dense, neatly trimmed and just coated in milky white trichomes. Forest green in colour with soft hues of violet that are further complimented by thick orange pistils. Sticky and decently cured, though I feel a little extra jar time will do wonders. The profile is very peculiar, reminding me of several cookie crosses as the aromas blend together in familiar fashion. A mix of sweet kush and herbs, accented by hints of peppered earth and mint. Slightly resembles freshly ground coffee beans in a way, especially when smoked, where it coats the pallet with a rich, herbal, earthiness. Smooth and clean burning, leaving behind a light grey ash and hefty oil ring. A high that begins immediately with an onset of both heady and physical effects that interact simultaneously. Euphoric and mood elevating, as well as relaxing and slightly couch locking. Not sedating but it definitely can have you feeling like an afternoon nap with it's peaceful natured vibe. A lovely and enjoyable afternoon/evening strain.

MAC #3 - The Natural Remedy - December 2020

/u/thechronickid_00

Full Album : https://imgur.com/a/ND6q7Ci This is MAC #3, and while hard to find specific info about it's background, it certainly has some tell tale MAC characteristics. Starting with it's extremely frosty, eye catching appearance. Every crevice is just packed with juicy trichomes, giving it's green complexion a lighter hue. All accompanied by a multitude of twisting orange hairs and glimpses of purple through out. The texture is a soft, fluffy one, packing a moderate level of stickiness and moisture. It's trimmed neatly as well. A very familiar MAC profile upon first impressions as it's sweet, and citrusy. Instead of having a creamyness to it, this one was more on the herbal and peppery side. It accurately translates over to taste when smoked, producing notes of citrus and herbs with a bit of a sourness to it. It's very smooth but it did leave a little tickle in the back of my throat. It burns to a salt and pepper ash and produces a good sized resin ring. The high on this MAC is undoubtedly sativa leaning in nature, offering a rush of focused, cerebral effects that are perfect for waking and baking with an intent to get chores and tasks done. It's very upbeat and mood elevating as well, adding to it's mellow and easy going buzz that never feels heavy or tiresome.

Serenity Haze - The Natural Remedy - December 2020

/u/thechronickid_00

Full Album : https://imgur.com/a/pJW3AXp These photogenic buds of Serenity Haze arrived with a ton of a character. Plump and cone shaped, sporting a moderate density and stickiness. They display a healthy forest green complexion, met with a plethora of wild orange pistils and a layer of cloudy white trichomes. Nicely trimmed as well, leaving behind a small amount of sugar leaf. This one packs a very familiar 'haze' profile, producing sweet and peppery aromas followed by subtle hints of cheese and earth. The taste is similar, only without the cheese aspect. Burns a light coloured ash and provides a decently smooth smoke despite it being thick and expansive on the lungs. A sativa driven strain that is very euphoric and clear headed, making for a creative and productive high that mentally stimulates the mind with little to no burn out. Not entirely sure on the history behind it's name/lineage, but this one does infact manage to offer a sense of serenity and calmness unlike most haze strains. Perfect for wake and bakes.
