Paul’s Boutique received first place for the highest THC level at the Third Annual Hash Bash – held at the House of Hash in Portland, Maine – for their Black Garlic solventless live rosin that tested at 76.6% THC. The cultivar is a cross of Garlic Cookies (GMO) and Black Dog Kush – one of my personal favorite strains that Paul’s Boutique has created.
Upon opening the live rosin container, my nose filled with a berry and sweet garlic smell that excited the senses and made my mouth water in anticipation. I was rewarded with the amazing flavors of purple grapes and cherries as I inhaled, which transitioned to a pleasingly sweet garlic aftertaste. The high-THC level relaxed my lower back pains with just a few small dabs.
With the physical pain solidly in the background and plenty of rosin left in the container, I continued puffing and finished off the half gram. What I experienced next could best be described as a “high school high” – although there wasn’t anything like this when I was in school 30+ years ago! I felt like laying in a field, cranking up some Pink Floyd and watching the clouds dance while losing all sense of time. This is the kind of stuff that can make you forget the pains and anxieties of life … at least for a little while. Just be sure your tolerance is ready for the potency.
I should also note that I shared this with a Veteran friend who said the Black Garlic live rosin really helped reduce his PTSD and helped him calm down, as well as relaxing his old pains too.
