Oftentimes, homegrown marijuana can be much fresher and stickier than the stuff you get in a dispensary. This is why I enjoy acquiring cannabis the traditional way: from a friend.
The other day a friend gave me a sample of something they grew at home. Thank you! It was a half gram pre-rolled Zig-Zag joint of Gorilla Glue. The joint smelled pretty nice and gave off a light skunky aroma. It smelled like something I’d enjoy smoking.
According to Leafly, Gorilla Glue is a classic hybrid strain made from a cross between Sour Dubb and Chocolate Diesel. It is known for its ability to make you feel “glued” to the couch. It’s a strain I have come across several times throughout the years, and when grown properly is always a winner.
The joint was given to me loose, so I put it in a plastic container until I got home. The Zig-Zag paper was bleached and made from flax plant fibers. I appreciated how the pre-rolled tip had the Zig-Zag logo, which led me to believe that this was a cone as opposed to a hand-rolled joint.
The dry hit had a light skunky taste and I didn’t see any junk or stems through the paper. The joint was densely packed.
I sparked the Gorilla Glue joint and noticed it did not make my throat burn. The bud tasted like it smelled and ashed light, which made me happy. There were no airflow or canoeing issues and the smoking experience lasted about 3 or 4 minutes.
The medical effects were relaxing yet euphoric. This strain gave me a mood boost along with a nice chilled-out feeling that lasted about an hour or so. I would recommend Gorilla Glue for those looking to erase pain and ease a racing mind.
As far as ratings are concerned, I gave the Gorilla Glue joint a 7 out of 10 for strength, 5 out of 10 for smell strength, 7 out of 10 for taste, 3 out of 10 for harshness and 60 minutes for length of medical effects.
If I had to guess, I would say the top terpenes were caryophyllene, myrcene and pinene. This cut of Gorilla Glue might test somewhere around 20% THCA but there is no way for me to know for sure, that’s just what it seemed like.
