I wanted to try a tenth of something new. The last tenth I bought was Mad Rabby from Neighborgoods and I wasn’t displeased. Since Neighborgoods had a bunch of new strains available, I thought I’d pick one to sample. I almost went with the Grape J #7 because it’s been too long since I’ve had a good purple or grape strain, but I ended up choosing the Dunk Contest #2.

This hybrid flower measured 25.1% THC and was found to be high in limonene. It also contained linalool and had some pinene. It came packaged in the standard Neighborgoods thick plastic tenth jar. The buds in my container clocked in under weight at 2.80 grams.

I opened the jar and took several strong whiffs. I couldn’t quite put my finger on the smell, but it was familiar. After a few more sniffs I realized it smelled like lawn grass. I thought I was maybe having some sort of olfactory hallucination so I whiffed the jar of what was left of my Neighborgoods Mad Rabby. That stuff smelled pleasant.

I went back to the Dunk Contest jar and the truth sunk in. This pot didn’t smell like gas, it smelled like grass. If I would have been able to smell this stuff before I’d bought it, I would have moved on to a different strain.

It smells like this bud is high in chlorophyll, which is the compound that makes plants green in color. Plants also use it to convert sunlight into glucose (sugar) in order to feed themselves in a process known as photosynthesis. Usually chlorophyll breaks down during marijuana’s drying and curing. If the process is rushed or flawed, an abundance of the compound can remain, giving the cannabis a grass-like smell and taste.

The Dunk Contest #2 had a decent look to it. The buds were kind of small but they had a good trim. There was only a small amount of stem visible on the flowers. The colors ranged from greens to purples. Very small orange pistils stuck close to the nugs. Tiny trichomes were visible on both the outside and inside of the buds.

These nuggets were dense with minimal moisture. As I broke them up with my fingers I experienced a small amount of stickiness. Through a grinder the Dunk Contest #2 did produce some dust but most of the bud shredded up alright. It burned unevenly at average speed and ashed mostly grey.

The Dunk Contest #2 kind of tasted like lawn grass and tobacco. It was very harsh and heavy on the throat. It made me sneeze but didn’t make me cough or produce phlegm. The bud left an unpleasant aftertaste in my mouth.

The experience of consuming this cannabis was not enjoyable. I don’t look forward to using the rest of it.

Despite the 25.1% advertised THC amount, I didn’t get many medical effects from the Dunk Contest #2. I had barely felt like I had consumed anything after a full pipe. I had to smoke pipe after pipe to get not as high as I would have from taking a few hits from a Galenas or Woodward strain.

Based on what I’ve experienced with this tenth I would not buy this strain again. It weighed under 2.83 grams, it was dry and harsh, the aftertaste and burnt smell was wretched and it didn’t get me very medicated at all. The Dunk Contest won the bunk contest.

I wish I would have spent the few extra bucks and got some Galenas or Woodward flower. Their tenths are never underweight, they always taste great and they always satisfy my cannabinoid receptors.

I gave the Dunk Contest #2 from Neighborgoods a 3 out of 10 for taste, 7 for harshness, 4 for strength, 6 for smell strength, throat pain after consumption and 15 minutes at most for length of medical effects which were weak.
