SAMPLE PROVIDED TO ME BY SKYWORLD.
So, I’m Italian-American. I’m going to be harping on this a lot in this review so bear with me. I love me some garlic, probably more than the usual person. My favorite? Pickled garlic. Eat ’em like candy (when I can eat pickled things). Roasted garlic, fresh garlic, no canned garlic, fried garlic, all things garlic I love. So when I was given a sample called Garlic Gravity by Skyworld…a little part of my soul healed. I was so jazzed for it. A cannabis strain that tastes like garlic AND gets me high? My little Tony Soprano heart could barely contain itself.
But was it worth the hype? Let’s see!
Strain name: Garlic Gravity
Strain type: Sativa
Percentage: 26.89 THC
Date of production: N/A
Date of testing (if applicable): N/A
Where Purchased (if applicable): Editorial consideration
Price (if applicable): Editorial consideration
Amount smoked: .5 gram
Grind (if applicable): Pretty chunky yet funky. I’d say this is a coarse grind.
Aroma: Oddly, smells a lot like dill and lemon zest. Like, super fresh dill and the rind right off a ripe, juicy lemon. But no garlic. Sad.
Taste: I guess you could consider it garlicky? I dunno, I’m Italian-American and I know my way around a clove or two and it doesn’t immediately smack me of garlic. It has maybe a sulfurous taste to it that’s reminiscent to the smell/taste of garlic but I don’t get the garlic moniker. Maybe it’s just a name?
High: It’s…okay, nothing to write home about. It gets you high and it keeps you there. The high is fairly non-descript on this one, definitely a sativa though (although I originally thought it was a sativa hybrid). It’s got enough mental clarity that you can live your life but doesn’t do much for pain at all. I can write and listen to music, read about science stuff, and do my usual thing without much interference. Don’t get me wrong, it’s serviceable but I just don’t think it’s a strain for me. It doesn’t do anything that makes me go “wow, cool”.
This stuff is fine, don’t get me wrong. It gets you high and it’s a pretty clean, functioning high. You’re chill but engaged with only a minimal hit to thought processes and rationality. I guess I’m just kinda let down because I was really hoping for something super garlicky and I didn’t find it to be. I can’t find much on the 2 x .5 gram packaging (I think they may have just switched to a 1 gram or 6 x .5 gram pack) but what I can find, the price is…okay at about $16. Would I say it’s worth picking up? Yeah, I guess I would. Maybe you’d do better on it than I would because I’m really just bummed this isn’t like smoking a plate of aglio e olio. God…I’m so New Yorker, good LORD.
