Coastal Sun is based in Santa Cruz and this is the first flower I am officially sampling for Budist that is grown in this area.
Coastal Sun employs two different styles of cultivation to produce living soil. The first utilizes regenerative farming in the full sun, whereas the second method uses bioponics, both in the greenhouse and in the sun.
This sample was grown in the greenhouse with bioponics. It was packaged less than a month ago, and as soon as I rip off the plastic seal, I can smell it through the container before even opening it.
When I pop the lid, the aroma continues to grow with outstanding intensity. The smell is very pungent and spicy with an uncommon blend of earth, spices and chemicals. There is also a savory layer with a rich chocolate aroma and when I break it up and grind it, there is some lemon and pine that poked through as well.
Coming back to the appearance, inside the container there is one medium bud and the rest are all fairly small. Despite the small size, they are all very well trimmed with no excess material. There are lots of trichomes and the shape of the flower shows through nicely. They are a little bit dry with grinding up releasing a steady stream of trichomes onto my tray....wow, it is really sandy!
Now on to the main event, I roll a 1.5 g joint and take a dry hit which has flavors of chocolate, paprika, and chili - quite interesting. I light the joint and take a few drags, revealing outstanding smoothness and very good flavor intensity. There is a really nice blend of flavors including floral notes of lavender, woody notes of pine and balsa, some of the chocolate carrying over from the aroma, and finally, the spiciness with some nutmeg and pepper.
The joint burned down extremely well with outstanding smoothness all the way to the end- very nice!
My experience with this GMO cookies was a bit uncommon for me. It started with a rapid come-on and a bit of teeth clenching. However, despite the sense that this was going to make me anxious or stimulating from this initial response, it ended up being a very relaxing session. Although my mind was somewhat balanced and not necessarily sleepy, I was relaxed and my body got a heaviness that washed over it and left me in a very pain-free, euphoric and kicked back mood. My eyes got very heavy and droopy and my breath slowed. The feeling I got in my body was as if I had just stepped out of a hot tub!
I thoroughly enjoyed this cultivar and I am very much looking forward to trying more from Coastal Sun ☀️
