It had been several months since I’d been to Klutch’s Citizen dispensary in downtown Canton. Back when they had great prices on 510 carts and luster pods I was there quite often. Ever since recreational weed became legal in Ohio, Citizen got rid of the majority of their deals and raised the prices to $60 dollars a cart or pod and around $50 for a tenth. I hadn’t been back until now.

Within the past few weeks Klutch has released a series of strains in partnership with Berner’s Cookies brand. Some of the strains include Cheetah Piss, Blue Suede and That Badu. The one I went with was Blue Raz due to its high myrcene content and large amount of overall terpenes.

The flavorful Blue Raz is a cross between YD, E85 and Doggy Bagg. It was packaged in an opaque blue bag. The buds were not visible at all, not even through the bottom of the sack.

As soon as I broke the seal and wrangled apart the childproof zip lock, I was hit with a pungent berry aroma. There was a refreshing sourness to the weedy smell. It was tangy but you could definitely detect a sweet fruity underlining. After one whiff I could tell this stuff was something I looked forward to smoking.

The tenth weighed 2.80 grams. After hearing that a friend’s Klutch Cookies bag weighed over 2.9 grams, I was hoping for a bit of a hookup. It was still pretty close to 2.83, and the nugs were nice, so it was what it was.

This flower looked stunning. I saw shades of deep green, orange and purple. There were lots of visible trichomes and very little stemmage. The buds were dense and broke down with elegance. The aroma was very strong and sweet upon breakup.

After running this stuff through the Flower Mill it was the perfect consistency for packing or rolling. When broken up by hand it stuck to my fingers and produced more smokeable flower than I expected.

It was refreshing to buy a tenth of bud that wasn’t dry. It seems like so much of the flower I’ve got from dispensaries lately has needed a drink of water. This is surely a factor when considering how slow the Blue Raz burned in both joint and bowl. Also, it ashed white when everything was said and done.

The Blue Raz tasted just like it smelled. The flavor almost reminded me of blackberries. It wasn’t so much of a blueberry taste as it was raspberry or blackberry. It was really unique! The sweet, skunky flavor lasted throughout the entire smoking experience. While it was heavy and powerful, the smoke was not harsh on the throat or lungs.

The medical effects were along the lines of a true indica. It was definitely strong and lasted over an hour. For me I did get a head high but I also felt medicated throughout the entire body. I became motivated to write this article and also produced a poem. While I’m a huge fan of sativas like Thai Kush, I also like heavier stuff such as this.

Akron Bloom employee Marshall told me that the Blue Raz almost made him feel weighed down, as if gravity had shifted. It was like his cheeks and body were being pulled downwards. Seeing how the flower has 21.70 milligrams per gram of myrcene and 5.24 milligrams per gram of linalool, I can see why this produced a heavy indica impact.

While I don’t plan on buying any more Cookies strains due to their price, it was worth it to get a tenth for review purposes. I enjoyed this flower and wish I could get more. I’d like to try the other Cookies strains as well. I might come across them some day, but for now I simply can’t pay $500 an ounce for marijuana.

I gave the Blue Raz from Cookies a 9 for taste, 3 for harshness, 9 for strength, 8 for smell strength and 60 or more minutes for length of medical effects.

Total THC 34.10%, Delta-9 THCa 37.30%, Delta-9 THC 1.37%, Total CBD 0.10%, CBDa 0.11%, CBD 0% (so I guess it’s all CBDa and not actual CBD until it is heated, where I suppose you’d lose 0.01% of the molecule to scorching).

Terpenes (mg/g): Myrcene 21.70, Linalool 5.24, Ocimene 4.82, Caryophyllene 2.03, Limonene 1.45, Humulene 0.76, Nerolidol 0.41.
