This month’s flower is the wondrous Fried Ice Cream from Fade Co’s Holy Grail product line. The jar holds densely grown, robust, colorful nugs that embody the standards Maryland has come to appreciate in its smoking products.
Most people think of Cannabis as just a green, leafy flower, but part of the plant’s diversity shows up in the subtle coloration it can produce. Fade Co’s Fried Ice Cream is a perfect example — a close inspection reveals a mosaic of colors that delight the eye and entice the palate. Shades of green, yellow, orange and purple verge almost on blue, all accentuated by the glitter of bulbous trichome heads that catch the light and make you want to smoke it right away.
The nose is a cornucopia of scents that’s hard to pin down to a single aroma but is best described as a spectrum. The jar pop hits with creamy gas notes, while the grind releases spicy, herbal nuances touched with fruit. That spectrum shifts constantly as you grind, roll and smoke. Cannabis can express a vast range of scents, making it one of the most fascinating plants on the planet — and Fade Co’s Fried Ice Cream stands out for that exact reason: its range.
The inhale and exhale take you on a trip through urban parks, boutique ice cream shops and herbal gardens as Fried Ice Cream flexes its unique terpene combination. I love a variety that surprises me as the toking experience evolves — and Maryland seems to enjoy the same journey. Add its potency bomb of 34% THCa and you have a powerful headspace that leans sedative. Fried Ice Cream by Fade Co wraps the mind in a pleasant, misty fog that eases stress and releases muscles in spectacular fashion. A toke on Fried Ice Cream is a worthwhile smoke indeed.
