Best of 2007 Weed Reviews
Late in 2007 LAist began weed reviews, a sporadic column featuring a different variety of marijuana while presenting it as though it were a wine review, and of those different kinds of pot 3 stood out as superior to the rest.
#1 Weed of Los Angeles: Sour Diesel.
This pot is a consistent crowd pleaser. We liked it so much we reviewed it twice. Its that kind of stuff that you would smoke even if pot didn't get you high, just for the taste. It's a great strain and comes highly recommended.
#2 Weed of Los Angeles: OG Kush
OG Kush is the best of all the kush sub-strains. Forget bubba, master, hindu and all the others... OG wins. And its because its the most consistent, most pungent and knocks you off your ass the hardest. OG Kush truly is the original gangster of kushes.
#3 Weed of Los Angeles: Trainwreck
Our #3 is the most appropriately named of the bunch. You feel it all right in your face, as though you had your block knocked off by a freight train. Makes sense, eh? It is also uniquely pungent, and like OG and Sour-D can be found at your local weed outlet or stoner friend's living room.
Honorable Mentions in no particular order go to: Odyssey, Super Silver Haze, Pot of Gold, Afgooey, and Skunk #1.

First off, I'd like to thank LAist, because as a smoker of marijuana, I enjoy knowing what quality a certain bud is.
But for all the talk about showing this to minors and what not, who cares? I, myself, am a minor, but I have researched this and made my own responsible choice to indulge in marijuana smoking. As a teenager, there are many things I can view from just the internet alone that I'm not supposed to. One thing is pornography. They don't make sure you're 18 or older, just a little button click saying yes or no. Also, a quick trip to Google and I can learn everything about every drug there is. Just be thankful they aren't reviewing hard drugs like Coke, Meth, etc. But don't worry too much about minors viewing this; they are going to make their own decisions whether you try to stop them or hide things from them. Only the stupid ones go on and use marijuana as a "gate-way" drug, and there are MUCH worst things a minor could be doing than marijuana.
However, I was disappointed with your first review on Sour Diesel. It was moreso a "I got some killer bud, look at me smoke it". That, I don't agree with. I never take videos or pictures of my marijuana smoking because for one I'm a minor, and two you really should keep it at home. Writing it like a wine review is a good idea, especially using images of the bud you've just gotten to show how good it looks.
But anyway, keep up the good work and hope to see more quality reviews from you.
