Blue Gorilla’s Dream of Glue
Hey all,
Hope everybody had a good holiday season and are staying as warm as possible in these cold months. I wanted to possibly highlight a couple of strains that we normally carry and are popular in the cannabis world. These will be two strains that most everybody has smoked before, are the staples among smokers and a lot of the strains around come from one of these two. These strains are Gorilla Glue #4 and Blue Dream, two that are some of the most iconic in the industry. I want to start by giving you an abbreviated description from Allbud.com for both and then go into a little about them both.
“Gorilla Glue, also known as “Gorilla Glue #1” is an indica dominant hybrid (60% indica/40% sativa) strain created through crossing the classic Chocolate Diesel X Sour Diesel strains. This bud packs a crazy powerful high that leaves you feeling like your mind is filled with glue. The high starts with a cerebral rush that leaves you feeling happy yet totally hazy, with no hope of focusing on anything any time soon. As your head high build and builds, your body will be washed over with a deep body buzz, leaving you feeling completely stoned and immovable. Because of these effects, Gorilla Glue is said to be perfect for treating conditions such as chronic pain, depression, insomnia, nausea, and muscle spasms. This bud has a super sour diesel chemical flavor that's incredibly harsh and sticks to your tongue long after you finish toking.” (Allbud.com, Gorilla Glue)
“Blue Dream is a slightly sativa dominant hybrid (60% sativa/40% indica) strain that is a potent cross between the hugely popular Blueberry X Haze strains. This infamous bud has users describe the Blue Dream high as having an immediate onset of an uplifting cerebral head high that leaves you completely motivated and focused with waves of creative energy that hit quickly and hard. This is accompanied by a mellow relaxing body high that leaves you warmed, numb, and completely pain free. Due to these potent combination effects, Blue Dream is said to be an ideal strain for treating patients suffering from conditions such as chronic stress, chronic pain due to injury or illness, mild to moderate cases of depression, and sleep disorders, including insomnia. Blue Dream has a delicious aroma of sweet blueberry pie and a taste of sugary sweet blueberries that stays on your tongue long after smoking.” (Allbud.com, Blue Dream)
Now while the two strains are technically different, one sativa leaning and the other indica leaning but they can both help the smoker in similar ways. Blue Dream and Gorilla Glue are great for helping with Chronic Pain, Depression and Nausea. Blue Dream is known for giving you energy, a creative mindset and is overall an uplifting high. Gorilla Glue will be more of the cerebral and body high versus the euphoric high of Blue Dream. After smoking Blue Dream, normally you will not feel like you are “ripped” but instead will hit you like a cup of coffee with your mind wanting to be productive. Personally, it is one of my favorite, because as you have heard me say here or at the store, that I am a all day smoker and need the extra energy/motivation that something like Gorilla Glue may not provide. As I have also said before, there is a time and a place for everything and sometimes GG4 hits the spot perfectly. Sometimes you really want to be ‘couch locked’ and GG will do it with a smile on your face the entire time. Make sure you have a movie and a good snack (Extra Toasty Cheez-its lol) to keep you occupied for the long term high that GG has to offer.
It would be too optimistic to say that whenever you smoke a particular strain you will experience the same effects and high as the other times/people but everybody experiences things differently. One flower/strain/batch from one company may be completely different than another’s of the same strain. Conditions on which the plant was grown vary from place to place, as do growing methods (and everybody seems to know the best way to grow the best pot, yet they are always different) so therefore the end-product will be different every time. It is one of the best and worst things about cannabis, and one thing that people have to understand that just because you felt a particular effect/way one time from a particular strain does not mean you will have that same high the next time you smoke it.
Sorry for the different type of post than normal but I just wanted to go over something quickly. I may be doing this a little more often because it always good to know more about the strains you are smoking. On a different note, please stay healthy and safe in coming months. I hope that everybody keeps a positive attitude, treat all with respect and please do not let petty differences get in the way of us being our best. Finally, I hope to see everybody in the store soon.
Thank you all.
See you soon.
