Purple Cheese from Diamond Grove Medical Marijuana Review

Purple Cheese from Diamond Grove Medical Marijuana Review

I had the opportunity to take home Purple Cheese for just $5 as part of Diamond Grove’s St. Patty’s Day deal.  Not a bad deal.  The $30 discount on the eighth was like walking out with a free O.Pen cartridge or two free Bhang Bars.  Although I probably never would have given it a second look most days, hidden down there on the bottom shelf as it was, it fell in my lap as a bit of a Patty’s Day rainbow.

After some research, it seems the most likely genetics at play here are Purple Skunk x Cheese.   Those are three skunky and funky strains to bring together in a hybrid.  You’d expect the scent to punch you in the face.  But it doesn’t.  A more top shelf grow might.  There is also little evidence of any purple in its aesthetics.  It’s instead a rather brown looking bud, laden with dark brown hairs.  It appeared dry, but when broken down, it was fluffy and soft–great for rolling joints and blunts.  

I expected pungent purp and some funky cheese to be overwhelming in the taste as well but, again, am somewhat let down.  The skunky Skunk #1: check.  The cheesy Cheese: check.  The pungent purple: check.  But all are minor.  It simply isn’t as wildly fragrant as I expected.  It was also $5.  So…

Although undeniably indica dominant from the purple and the Cheese, noticeable sativa manifestations come in the form of Skunk #1.  Skunk #1 has long been the preferedsativa by many I meet, and I do agree.  It is focused, creative, and productive.  This is all lost out to the Purp and Cheese.  I was dreamy, theoretical, and down right slothy.  I found myself watching the garbage men outside my office window for the full 7.5 minutes they were working their way down the block.  At one point, a rat jumped out of one of the green plastic refuse cans, startling the man hauling it and making me giggle, before it ran across the road and up an alley.  Hardly what I’d call a good utility of my time.  

It is actually a frustrating high, as creativity and motivation fight a losing battle against spaciness and lock.  I got work done in short, albeit inspired, bursts.  After work, Purple Cheese’s dissociative high makes more sense.  A lack of responsibility allows the pain relieving effects of the indica to soar at a time when the sedative effects are less obtrusive.  

Would I have donated $35 for an eighth?  No, probably not.  I’m not that into the locking effects of purples, and aesthetically, the strain simply doesn’t stand out.  However, for five simoleons, Purple Cheese did more than enough for my liking.  With its mostly varied effects, it fell into the jack-of-all-trades-but-master-of-none category.
