Reviewed by an online Denver publication.
From the article: Our marijuana critic, William Breathes, smoked more than 140 different samples of medical marijuana in 2011. We sent him down fuzzy-memory lane and asked him to pick out the top ten strains he smoked, and here are the results along with the original strain writeup from his Mile Highs and Lows dispensary review.

10. Allgreens -- Kong -- ($40/eighth)

Every time I popped open a jar, the smell reminded me of strong diesel fumes mixed with, ironically, the rubbery scent of a new Kong dog chew toy. Oddly, there wasn't an extremely strong smell to the bud itself until you broke it up; then it released a much more pungent, nose-turning funk. Really pretty bud, too: dark green with hues of purple in just the right light and tiny calyxes covered in white trichomes that looked like Velcro under a microscope. Crystals fell like snowflakes on my desk while I was breaking up the herb for a spliff. It had a strong, Chemy (Chemdawg, not chemicals) taste to the first three or four hits, but it lost flavor by the middle of the joint. Smoked in a bowl later, the bud kept its flavor and burned to a white ash. Since our review of this strain, the prices dropped from $50 an eighth to $40 an eighth, with ounces selling for as low as $150.

9. Verde Wellness -- Jack Herer ($45/eighth)

The buds of the Jack were much more robust and photogenic than the pieces of Bubba Kush, and equally as potent. Very nice chunky but tiny calyxes that lumped together into quarter-sized buds that had a spicy lemon smell out of the jar and a mouthwatering stank when broken up. The stickiness of the bud made joint rolling hard (especially since I can't roll a joint to begin with), and it burned even and slow both in a spliff and in the bubbler. Classic Jack hazy taste with a sweet citrus aftertaste and a mind-racing buzz. This cut is one of the best I've seen, and it was great for mood elevation, enhanced imagination and overall getting high-ness.

8. A Cut Above -- UK Cheese: ($40/eighth)

I haven't seen this cut around much in the shops. It's one of my favorites through my caregiver, in large part due to the funky aged-cheese smell and rich, fruity taste. Aside from a few brown fan leaf tips, the cut from A Cut Above was gorgeous. Very well developed flowers, dried and cured almost perfectly, that looked like they were rolled in kief. Breaking up the bud over my desk left it sticky with resinous trichomes. The sativa-strong Cheese burned with a sweet skunk-like flavor through most of the bowl, leaving powered white ash and a stoned William Breathes behind. Very clear, crisp mental buzz from this strain that was great for getting strongly medicated in the morning for my appetite without putting me back to sleep.

7. Southwest Alternative Care -- Sour Diesel ($40/eighth)

I know, I could have picked any number of outstanding examples of cuts and I walked out with what is becoming the cheese pizza of sativa doms. Still, the pungent and mouthwatering citrus-rubber funk of the sample was phenomenal and I couldn't pass it up. The trichomes were stacked on this cut and fell off at the slightest wiggle of the bud. Breaking off pieces left a dusting of kief on my desk big enough to scrape up and smoke. The tangy candy flavor matched the strain's smell perfectly from start to snow-white, ashy finish in the bowl, and I smoked pretty much the whole thing taking delicious one-hitters out of the bong. A very cerebral, creative and strong Diesel buzz from just a few tokes. My only complaint was that I ended up with some wispy ends to take home (as you can see in the pictures) and would love to see a big bud of this. Still, even with just a few pieces, it's easy to say this is one of the top Diesel cuts I've seen around town.

6. The Pearl Co. -- Super Silver Haze x OG ($40/eighth)

Someone at Pink House is a mind reader. That is the only thing I can come up with as to how they crossed two of my all-time favorite medical strains into one unique plant. The smell was what got me first on this cut, as it blends the spicy, acrid haze of the Super Silver with the rubbery, sweet after-smell of an OG. This pheno seems to have kept a lot of the stringy, dark red pistils of the Super Silver while fattening up the calyxes through the OG and bringing out a much lighter green than I'm used to with a straight SSH. The buzz, though, was nothing like I expected. Normally, an OG is perfect for settling my aches while the SSH is my go-to strain for appetite. Mixing the two made it lose some of the appetite stimulation for me, but brought on an incredibly powerful mental buzz that was uplifting for my mood, if not a little bit racy and speedy for my body as well. I rolled up one big spliff of this earlier in the week and found myself cleaning the house soon after finishing.

5. Natural Remedies -- LA Kush (soil) $45/eighth

The budtender said this was his top strain in the shop, and I can understand why. It was a beautiful example with a dense but spongey feel, pinecone-like foxtailing and slathering of amber trichomes. Breaking it open brought out an intense rubbery finish, like sniffing a brand new set of Michelin tires. Small, rust-colored pistils wrapped around the calyxes and under the scope it looked like an alien planet of crytals. The taste came through very well on this cut with a tart, citrusy finish nearly from start to the finish. Almost instant head and upper body relaxation with this cut, though not so strong as to knock me out.

4. Mile High Green Cross - Banana Kush ($46/eighth)

I've come around on this strain, and it's flowers like this that have done it for me. I do think it was strange that the strain was able to place as both a hybrid (from Highland Health) and as an indica (for MHGC).The tangy banana-esque fruitiness was there, but it was overpowered by the tennis-ball-can funk of kush. The light-green buds had thin, thread-like orange hairs woven throughout, and the slathering of resin and trichomes left my fingers sticky enough to make rolling a joint difficult. Spicier when burned than the Sour Grapes, but not necessarily harsh. The flavor came through more exhaling than inhaling, but it had a sundae sweetness on top of the kush all the way down to the roach. I really enjoyed this through the vaporizer, which brought out a more rich soil taste. I got pretty stoney after my doob and really didn't feel like finishing my review. Slouching into my sofa and destroying a turkey sandwich were way more appealing at that point. This was for sure one of the best Banana Kush cuts I've seen any shop carrying, and worth checking out -- even if you don't agree with where it ended up in the Cup.

3. The Cannasseur -- Kurple Fantasy ($40/eighth)

If the color purple ever had a distinct smell, this would be it. A dark, almost sour-grape tartness, it was deeply stinky with rubbery kush goodness. This cut was as good if not better than the batch I saw back in April at the High Times cup. Dark green sugar leaves and calyxes faded from dark green to purple, though it was hard to see underneath the solid, sugary-cereal look of the trichomes. The bud kept it's potent smell through the week, stinking up my office every time I opened the jar to pack a bowl. And a bowl was all I needed with this deeply soothing and mellowing indica dom strain, though I often packed two for the rich, earthy taste and fruity grape finish. Very strong THC buzz that mellowed out into a pain-relieving, day-ending buzz that would be great for unwinding stress, soothing sore muscles or simply getting ripped and staring at paint dry. One of the more unique and tasty strains I've had in a while; I've been back twice for this cut in a month. Since our review, the prices have dropped considerably, from $60 per-eighth to a reasonable $40 per eighth.

2. The Clinic -- Luca Brasi ($45/eighth)


The Clinic hasn't had the cut of Bubba Kush that took home the CBD award at the High Times Medical Cannabis Cup last April on its shelves for some time -- but this Luca Brasi is the next best thing. A cross of that award-winning, 12.35 percent CBD Bubba Kush cut and Corleone OG Kush, back-crossed with the Bubba Kush, brought this powerhouse of a CBD cut to the table. Coming in at 8.44 percent CBD and 10.93 THC, this is one of the most equally balanced and overall potent cuts around town. A very strong, rubbery kush scent cut with an underlying organic-soil earthiness left my hands smelling like I'd been digging in the garden all day. The taste matched the smell perfectly, making it a pleasant puff as well as potent medication. Much more uplifting and buzzy due to the higher THC content, the strain was good for numbing the pain without knocking me down for the count. Actually, the herb had me feeling uplifted and active even after a big bowl, without any tension or anxiety, thanks to the decent THC levels. It was also good at calming nerve pain in my stomach and easing cramping after a less-than-quality street-taco session. Clinic staffers promise that the award-winning Bubba Kush will be back, but in the meantime, this is a perfectly suitable alternative.

And finally at number one...

1. The Station -- Ghost's OG ($45/eighth)

One of the most impressive examples in the shop, the Ghost's OG was something I absolutely had to take home. An elite, clone-only flower, this earthy-smelling, extremely potent variety of OG isn't the easiest thing to come across as a grower. My apologies for the picture quality this week. The true color of this herb was a deep pine green with big, fat pistils poking out of the top of the crystal-covered calyxes like orange Hershey Kisses tags. Broken up, the bud left my office smelling like a can of tennis balls had a fight with a bag of potting soil. The taste was equally as rich, with an almost floral aftertaste from the start of the bowl through the powdery, white-ash finish. When done right, like this sample was, a normal bowlpack is more than enough to get irie. Burning several bowls was great for dealing with a stupid knee injury I sustained slipping in the snow a few weeks back as well as for battling insomnia. A bowl of this before bedtime, and I was sawing logs within fifteen minutes.








~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think he meant Ghost OG should photograph more like this:

But since this here Tahoe is better than that there Ghost I grew (which is better than the one in his picture), I guess this is the true number one. And the writer of this article doesn't even know it.

Yeah, we know OG Kush is at the top of this guy's list as it should be, but a real list would be the top ten OG Kushes in the SoCal scene. Until we here in Los Angeles start calling a strain 'Denver Kush,' it's gonna be the people in Denver buying the strain called LA Kush. I've never seen an LA Kush in LA, BTW.

And now for my review of my Tahoe OG Kush.

I stopped smoking all the other stuff a long time ago. Why? Because the different OG's span the entire circuit of heavy/sleepy/pain-reliever to up energetic go water skiing... and more intensely than any other strain I've smoked. Every time I try to save money and buy something other than OG Kush, I always end up regretting it... as the Candy-purple-watchamacallit never fully does the job for me. Some are an interesting heady buzz, but the combination body/head high you get from a quality OG Kush is another story.

My Tahoe dried with a 'roasty caramel' smell that was replaced by a nose-burning fuel sting in early cure. Dense and sticky are my bud's middle names. What looks like three grams of other bud, weighs more like five grams with my bud. First bowl hit leaves you with a sharp fuel-sting on the exhale that lingers and makes you cough often. The second and third hits never lose flavor... And the white ash final hit even tastes good. The smoke is heavy and sweet throughout... from first hit to last.

The high leaves none of the negative feelings associated with pot-smoking. You can think, move, and talk (it makes you talkitive in fact). But more important than the wild body tingles or the giggles is the calming sense of euphoric well-being that underpins the entire high. Not all weed has this. In fact very few do.

Appetite enhancement? Let's skip this part. We're not here to review silly-ass high school munchies.

What all these medical marijuana strain reviews always leave out is bud longevity. Chances are the person reviewing the bud based that review on only one or a few times of smoking that particular bud. I feel that you don't truly know a bud until you have smoked nothing but that bud for at least a week or more. When you smoke the same bud for months at a time like me, longevity and resistance to tolerance build-up are gigantically important. These bud reviewers never get to this part because they're usually not the grower and so don't have enough quantity to examine a bud's staying power through a long stretch of time.

I can tell you that my bud always gets me high... from day one of harvest to last nug smoked. Every day, all day. A lot of these "top shelf" shop meds will stop doing anything for me after smoking it several times.

Edit:
And why does he keep describing OG smell as 'tennis ball can?' Good OG smells nothing like tennis balls or tires or rubber. Good OG should smell like a very rich, fine, clay soil that has been turned into mud by mixing it with lemon-scented gasoline. That's how OG Kush smells. Maybe the OG in Colorado smells like old rubber, but not in California.

And I'm sorry, how am I supposed to take a guy who can't roll a joint seriously about 'strain reviews?'

It is a small picture. But from what I can tell, it's not that great. I'd vote for your Bob Marly pic instead.

so i guess the next project for you is "top ten og kush's of socal" lol. get to work jin! We're all waiting for the smoke reports! lol and i expect lots of eye candy in that top ten report of yours. lol

That's a thought. Of course it's gonna take me a while to compile that list if I want to include longevity/resistance to tolerance... But y'know what? Why not, right? I'm gathering all the data. I just wish I could get my hands on that Ghost cut again.

Whoa, look at that. What are you gonna do about that difference in size, Jin? I'm getting to that.

This, the Tahoe, will be allowed to grow vertically to the screen. This thing is so beautiful it looks almost fake. Superior to the last two Tahoe cuts. They're both so pretty. I'll try not to burn or yellow them too much, but the initial struggle for the roots is always stressful. This might be one of my rare 'magical starts' where we don't see any of that yellow stress and they just hit the ground running. I'm keeping my fingers and calmag crossed. They've already perked up and shaken off the stress of transport. I can't promise anything, but we'll see.


Whereas this long bitch will be laid horizontally as soon as the roots take hold (about five days).

They've gotten their first 25+ hours of light for their initial planting, so I'll set the light and ac timers to shut off for six hours and go to 18/6 from here on out.

Cheeze, I'm smoking some of that sour bud of yours right now. Nice taste. That nug is small but incredibly dense. I just thought I would congratulate you on the density you achieved on that one. My clippers struggled, dude.

And yeah, bro-ham. I just don't have the heart to slash the lanky bitch to equalize height. I just can't do it. Look how gorgeous she is. The screen will be the equalizing factor. It'll be fine.

fuck my sour dubbs...your tahoe og passed the test ...
I had to give up a gram to my bro ...he is the pickiest og smoker i know...

Most the time he prefers this to my own meds ... he only likes og kush pretty much...
Theres been a couple time i gave him stuff that he didnt really like from the shop ....

he really liked your bud man ... and its hard for me to know exactly what og heads are looking for ...(I smoke ogs all day in bluns so it hard foer me to distinguish )
Some of my friends are the same way weed notzis.... and i try to understand exactly how they feel about meds....
Its easy to pick up on a ultra sticky skunky og... so i think its safe to say u did alright rookie...

Aw shucks, I don't know what to say...

But considering how I always speak so highly of myself... I won't say anything. Just happy and flattered that my lil' ol' Tahoe is acceptable to even a picky OG head. I'm pretty picky too, and I like it. So I'm glad to see your friend agrees.

Now on to the main issue of my new grow.

I'm ashamed to admit that I used recycled hydroton on my last. I know, I know... Why would a person go to all that trouble to run such a setup and skimp on one of the least expensive components? Stoned, lazy, dumb... take your pick. Those bad rocks were ph unstable and I'm fairly certain it negatively impacted final weight. Anyway, running the fresh hydroton as I usually do, I'm certain we'll have a much more stable run on ph this time.

Wow Jin& Juice! Your up and running already! Thats awesome! More inspiration of some dank buds! I grew the larry before. It likes to stretches a lot, which is good for your SCROG! It was a low yielder that had more of the lemony taste vs the Fuely OG taste. Be careful with the Larry, because PM loves to grow on it! But im sure you are prepared with that Sernade! Looking forward to this grow also!

So I was checking out Dr. Amber Trichome's thread and caught some of her beautiful drawings. This just got me in an artsy fartsy mood, so I decided to post a digital painting I did some years ago. I call it "Steel Repose."

Wrong-doers, beware! If you do a wrong, Femen will protest.






Makes me wish for more wrong-doing in the world. "Gosh, I hope something really bad happens in the world so Femen will protest."

Well, I think Pheonix can stay. The rest of you can go save the world. Lol.
