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.
