Deathstar - Colorado Alternative Medicine (CAM)

With its strong green and orange coloring, solid structure, and a very nice coating of frost, this Death Star had a classic yet impressive look.  It was made up mostly of large calyxes with perfectly-timed trichomes all over them, though there were some extra leaves left on in spots.  When broken up, it left the hands sticky and pungent — great bag appeal all-around and no real flaws to be seen.

Maybe the highlight of this strain, the aroma was very pungent, both pre and post-grind.  The sour fuel stank carried notes of rubber, menthol, and lemon but also had a strange sweetness lingering in the background.  The combination of those smells made this one really noteworthy and impressive to our staff — great choice for Diesel-lovers.

Very much like the smell, the taste was a slight sweet Diesel-dominant flavor with hints of citrus and soil.  The sweetness was elusive and seemed to come and go, but when the whole package was present, it was top-notch.  The smoke was smooth and easy to consume, only getting a little rough at the very end – the near-white ash it left behind showed that it had a very good flush.

(We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY)  Strong ocular presence early on, lasting body relaxation, some mood elevation, appetite stimulation, headache relief, and sleep aid (especially at higher dosages).

A real treat for Diesel-lovers and those seeking a balanced overall experience, this Death Star really did bring the best of both its parent strains.  Early Diesel effects subsided into an ultra-relaxing and sedative Indica that carried a variety of medical benefits.  The grow quality was top-notch, with no real flaws and a pleasing appearance, smell, and taste.  The potency is rather high overall and it lasted a long time, so we’d recommend this mostly to moderate to experienced patients who like an acrid taste spectrum and an up-then-down experience.
