I picked this one up for one sole reason: I like Glitter Bomb. I’ve had The Pass’ Glitter Bomb before and I really enjoyed it because it was an indica that worked on pain that I could also write on and be functional above and beyond some that I had tried previously. So naturally it stood out as I’ve been struggling with the “don’t take a canna-nap” deal. So, when I saw this on the menu, I thought “Oh boy! This’ll be perfect!” And I was partly right…
Anyway, here’s the review:
Strain name: Glitter Bomb
Strain type: Hybrid (Indica-dominant)
Percentage: 28.51% TAC
Date of production: Unknown
Date of testing (if applicable): 3/10/25
Where Purchased (if applicable): The Pass
Price (if applicable): $11.99(?)
Amount smoked: .5 gram
Grind: Medium-fine grind. It’s kinda pebbly, in a way. It may be how I manage to get the cannabis out of the tube (I do it by rolling it gently until it falls out) but it’s small pieces, all uniform, little to no stems that I’ve found.
Aroma: It’s almost like a basil syrup. It’s got a heady sweetness to it, almost like honeysuckle, bolstered by a bracing grip of basil straight from the garden. Hints of…dill, too?
Taste: I get just straight up licorice. Is that right? That can’t be right. But seriously, it’s got a very prominent licorice taste to me. Sweet but herbal in a cough drop (positive) way kinda thing. Very nice smoking.
High: Oh this Glitter Bomb. This Glitter Bomb is a tricky little strain. The high itself is great, don’t get me wrong. It’s bright and bubbly, almost like an ice cold soda on a hot day. You’re creative, your cognizant, you’re serene, and you’re introspective. Honestly, a GREAT high. Just like the one I mentioned earlier. But the problem with this one is that it gives me the munchies the worst out of any strain I have consumed in the past…3 years. Oh my word, it’s like a compulsion to eat, it’s so bad. It’s good if you want to meditate or do something creative but only if you can curb those cravings REAL hard.
Oooooh, I’m so mad. The high on this stuff is great stuff but it comes with a caveat so huge that I don’t think I can recommend it. The high is so good though. I guess if you are less prone to eating while inebriated and need to be, this would be a good one for you. I did use it to that extent with some success when I was doing ertapenem infusions that made me nauseous so there’s that avenue. If you need to be hungry and aren’t, or you can be a better person than I and quell those munchies…then this strain is great for you. Otherwise, you will eat like a fiend.
I do have some The Pass Glitter Bomb (outdoor grown, not indoor like I previously tried) so I may try that soon. I keep it in The Locker, which is a box filled with miscellaneous eighths and such that I keep humidified. I feel like I wanna get on the Glitter Bomb train but this strain is just a station that I gotta skip.
