As soon as I popped the seal, I could smell this funk-a-delic strain known as Sour Garlic Bread. My nose picked up plenty of sour notes and a bit of cheesy garlicky terps as well. The smell was musk and lime zest, with a little maltiness on the back end.
The flowers were elegantly dusted in snowy white trichomes amidst dark green buds with sparse indigo-like purples. The bud structure seemed more delicate than many of the dense dome-like buds you come across in today’s genetics, but the effect was just as potent, if not more so. This unique strain is a Sativa-dominant hybrid cross of GMO and AJ Sour Diesel, and the aroma, flavor, and effect certainly live up to the lineage.
As I ground up the flowers, I almost felt like I was in a pizzeria, with the herby garlic aromas becoming more and more tangible in my olfactory senses. As I packed a bowl, I also picked up bits of basil, oregano, and white pepper. The flavor of the smoke as I inhaled was sweeter than I expected and had lots of savory notes on the exhale; the taste was reminiscent of thyme, onion, and sage, like one of those pizzas with a slightly too-sweet crust, but the toppings are so good you want more.
The Sour Garlic Bread began to rise through my body and brought a physically energizing sensation. I also felt a perk up in my mental acuity and demeanor, allowing for greater focus and problem-solving after a bowl or two. The feeling was upbeat, and I had a motivating experience with this strain. The enlivening effect helped me feel centered and invigorated and infused a sense of excitement into the first part of the day. The head and body highs were noticeable within minutes and faded out gently into a relaxed state.
Testing at 32.62% THC, this strain gives a powerful mood and energy lift. This particular cultivar would be complementary to a pre-workout session and endurance-type activities like taking a long bike ride, swimming, or a pilates class. This strain would be great for creative writing or problem-solving tasks without the fogginess or an inevitable crash in motivation. Sour Garlic Bread is a heady sativa strain that everyone should try!

We all know honey comes from bees, and bees need flowers to make honey, so does this mean bees can make infused honey from the flowers of the cannabis plant? The details are more complicated than you’d think. Cannabis flowers don’t produce nectar, so bees can’t make honey from them. Since cannabis plants pollinate via…
Over the last decade, there has been considerable discussion about the future of cannabis. Typically, those conversations center around legality, market size, and social and medical impacts, all of which are interesting topics in their own right. But there has been far less discussion about the digital future of cannabis. With more and more of…
Talking to your family about cannabis can be difficult. You’re often battling with generations of stigma and the impacts of changing social norms in real time.

When Johaness Gutenberg introduced his printing press in the mid-15th century, he sparked a revolution in the way the masses could spread and consume information. For centuries after, the primary way we shared content was through print media, like books and magazines. But when Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989, that all…
