Black Cherry OG - Elephant Garden - May '25
~5-7gs were smoked/vaped before this review.
I purchased this myself. I am not affiliated with any MoM
Look/Feel: 3.5/5 - While not jaw dropping, it is still decently eye-catching. The greens run deep, with hints of amber and deep purple. When opened, the deep green is still present and more trichromes are revealed. Soft to the touch, but still as dense as it should be. When put through my grinder it busted up as it should. Size was medium to small, but nothing felt popcorn sized. When rolled well, ash was almost entirely white, with hints of black still speckled throughout. It should be noted that I'm ok at rolling at best, though.
Taste/Smell: 2.5/5 - While the floral-skunk aroma and taste are welcome, they're very mute. Even through a vape it mostly just tasted like hot air. Certainly doesn't taste bad, just not one that stands out at all.
Packaging: 2.5/5 - Paper/plastic ziploc style bag. Vacuumed sealed well enough that nothing could be detected until open, but not so tight that the buds ended up squished together. Loses points because EG doesn't include humidity packs, and as someone who orders from the east coast, a single one in the ziploc would be greatly appreciated.
Effects: 3.5/5 - Sedating, relaxing, meditative, introspective. This bud radiated throughout my body and brought me deep into thought. Aches and pains in my body loosened, and my queasiness from an earlier flair up wore off. My biggest complaint with the bud is the potency. It's sold as AAA, which it definitely is, but I still expected to get to where I wanted with less than I ended up needing. Once there, though, this bud's high is extremely comfortable.
Overall I'm neutral on this bud. I'm not at all disappointed with its value, but it isn't for everyone. Anyone looking to medicate, has a low tolerance, or are looking for a heavy mix in, this is it. Anyone looking to get sent to the moon from a single bong rip should look at other offerings.
