Weed Review: Skunk #1
()
We bought an 8th of this stuff for $50 from some guy eating Cap'n Crunch cereal. Skunk #1 is an infamous and popular strain and has been around LA, and the world, for decades. In case it isn't obvious already, it got its name for smelling like those black and white members of the rodent family, Skunks.
Pre-Smoke Examination:
The buds are uniformly egg shaped, and very dense. The buds are extremely aromatic, and the smell is just like a real skunk, and I could smell it a block away from the guys house i bought it from. It's that sort of sweet and sour waft that will make your nose hairs sweat. The nugs are fresh, and appear to be professionally manicured and dried.
Post-Smoke Examination:
Skunk #1 is very malleable, and can be ground or broken up by hand very easily. When the bowl is being burned it lights up quick and fills the chamber with milky creamy fat-ass hits that make you have to wrinkle your forehead just to exhale. The taste is strong, sweet, and finger-lickingly-funky.

The high hits you nice and fast and can be compared to wearing a beanie thats too small for your head. Skunk #1 has been such a popular strain over the years because it is so consistent and reliable. It's the weed that will make you have a new found appreciation for that skunk that haunts your neighborhood, and at $50 an 8th you should definitely pick up a sack.
Find Skunk #1 in your local clinic or 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.
