Weed Review: Super Silver Haze
We scored this tasty blend from Dealer McDope the other day, for $55 an 8th. Super Silver Haze was the first prize winner at the High Tims Cannabis Cup in 1997, 1998 and 1999. It's a superb plant well known for bringing joy to the masses.
Pre-Smoke Examination:
The nugs are huge. My whole 8th was that nug in the picture. It's smell is pungent and very strong. It smells close to skunk with that sweet/sour blend, but leaning more towards the sweeter side. It's dense, well dried, and big enough to use as a back scratcher.
Post-Smoke Examination:
Super Silver Haze breaks apart well, and makes this strong smelling weed reek twice as much. The bowls burn perfectly, not too fast not too slow, and fills the bong and your lungs with a fat hit that is sure to wrinkle your forehead as you exhale.
It is no surprise that Super Silver Haze has won so many awards, and is so highly admired by pot heads world wide. The high creeps up on you. So after you smoke your first bowl, you will be inclined to smoke a second bowl, and next thing you know the high has crept up on you, and you're feeling that high wrap around your skull like an Ace bandage.
Pick up Super Silver Haze from your local dispenary or from your 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.
