CanniCorner: Pineapple OG (Pineapple Kush x OG Kush)

AROMA: The smell from the nugs, truth be told, is a bit muted, as there is only a faint sweet aroma. However, after nugs are ground up, the smell becomes a pungent sweet smell coupled with a lemon pine essence to it. The aroma definitely seems to have more of an OG side than a Pineapple side, since it doesn't smell that similar to just pineapples themselves. Regardless of whether or not it smells like actual pineapples, the aroma to this strain is a pleasant, pungent, and unique OG cut.

TASTE: The flavor of this strain is actually quite surprising, because it has a much sweeter flavor to it than the aroma suggests. The flavor is actually reminiscent of pineapples, which was a definitely nice surprise. The sweet flavor hits the taste buds immediately, and the lemon pine takes ahold of the aftertaste and sinuses. There is a good amount of lung expansion with the strain too, so a few chest clearing coughs are in store. The flavor definitely has a leg up on the aroma, so this is one of those strains that should be tried before being judged completely.

LOOK: Foxtail nug structure with light green nugs that are absolutely caked in trichomes that accentuate the bright orange pistils. The nugs are a bit leafy, but considering the way these nugs grew out it could have been worse. Although there appears to be a good amount of stray sugar leaves, I pulled the bulk of them off all the nugs in my 1/8th and they didn't even weigh 0.1 grams. The sugar leaves are extremely light, so there was no weight discrepancy for me. Regardless of the stray leaves, the trichomes give the nugs a frosty look, and have very long stalks with bulbous caps. The leafiness takes away from the look a little bit, but it is still a very attractive strain.

EFFECTS: Quick onset for an initial head change, but a gradual onset for the full effects of the high. It has such a heavy relaxing side that it puts one into an almost zen-like meditative state, but far from a couch lock effect. It made my sore and tight muscles loosen up immediately, and put a nice cerebral haze on the brain. Though it is an indica, it has a slightly hybrid like effect with a slightly "heady" high. Surprisingly the body high continued to get more intense for a good 15 minutes after the last bowl, and the resulting calming sensation was amazing. The calming sensation eventually overpowers all other aspects of the high, and leaves you feeling relaxed and euphoric. In higher doses the eyes get heavy, and the "need to nap" feeling grows stronger and stronger. Good for pain relief, stress relief (possibly anxiety), relaxation, nausea, and sleep aid. Great anytime strain for heavy smokers, and a midday to nighttime strain for moderate smokers.

Pineapple Kush and OG Kush, both CA native strains, were brought together to form this potent cut. CCC's is an excellent example of it, and its potent effects produce an unexpectedly strong, long lasting, calming sensation from beginning to end.
