We bought this from a dude sitting on a bean bag chair watching a plasma. Afgooey is a well known strain that has been circulated in Los Angeles for years and can be found with regularity at many dudes living rooms and medical clinics.

Pre-Smoke Examination:
The nugs are small, no larger than a Nickel in circumference, are extremely dense. It smells pungent like a Christmas tree in a freshly painted room, and when squeezed you can tell that the nugs are fresh. There isn't a lot of leaf, showing that the buds were carefully manicured.

Post-Smoke Examination:
It's hard to break it up by hand, and hard to prepare it with a grinding tool. It's so sticky and dense that it just gums up the works. Once you're smoking it, the weed burns on the slow side, and you may need to or three hits to clear the bowl. The taste is of the "deep forest" variety, and has a a high that can knock you on your ass for hours.

The high feels like your skull is being palmed by Shaquille Oneil, and it lasts a good 4 hours. The weed lives up to the "gooey" part of its name as its so dense and sticky that it gooey-ified my grinder, and gummed up my scissors. At $60 an 8th its well worth the cost, and sure to keep your head in the clouds.

Look for Afgooey in your local pot guy's living room.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
