By Edward Barrett, London Poundcake, After all the holiday celebrations of the past couple of weeks, I discovered myself with an awful cold. A wheezing cough, runny nose, tender throat, sore body pains and an overall hallucinatory cloudiness in my mind made me feel like a zombie. I felt so crummy that I was even avoiding my usual cannabis habit.
I roamed about Nob Hill one day and chose to stop into Seven Clover (3800 Central Ave. Official Info Here ) and see what they had readily available. I told the budtenders my situation and my normal tastes and propensities, and they suggested an interesting pressure by the name of London Poundcake (THC: 23.
01%$11. 50/gram). It had a great gray-green color with slight tones of purple. There were also little clumps of orange hairs spread about the nuggets. The color was a bit different than typical, but what captivated me was the tantalizing smells produced by this particular stress. There was a really musky scent that eventually subsided into a fainter berry medley fragrance.
When I got home, I rapidly tore apart the wet, soft and sticky buds. Even in my sick, zombified state, I could tell this would be a tasty and interesting pressure. The sweet smells that I detected earlier didn't translate similarly to the taste. The hits were really smooth and had a mushroomy, earthy taste in the beginning that eventually morphed into faintly cheesy and sweet cookie dough flavors.
It was a really great, peaceful, pleasant and relaxing high. It wasn't overwhelming and my sinuses felt clear and better than before. I'm sure the fact that I was smoking flower didn't help my throat, but it sure made me feel much better, and I was sidetracked enough not to fret about how unpleasant I felt.
I discovered it to be such a relaxing strain, that even while sick and unpleasant, I could tell how great and pleasurable it was. The intriguing tastes and gives off London Poundcake are truly special, but it's the calm and peaceful results that sold me on this strain.
