I'm kind of a connoisseur, and am especially picky about my Indicas. I picked up this little nug in California. For those who were not raised on Cali-Bud, let's just say that the state has always had some of the most kind smoke (especially the flowers,) around the world. The best flowers come from the northern coastal region (Humboldt, Crescent City, etc.)

This is a strain called "Forbidden Fruit." It is a 70/30 hybrid is made by crossing two extremely flavorful strains named Cherry Pie and Tangie. In the container, it has a very strong "cherry smell" as opposed to that "skunky" fragrance that Cali-Bud is famous for. While smoking it, I noticed it has a very good "no cough" effect, and despite the strong flower smell, has no lingering aftertaste.

Elapsed time from when I walked through the door, and walked out with this, and 5 other strains (xmas presents yo!) was 2 minutes wait time, plus 10 minutes actual "shopping" time including checkout. Absolutely none of the nightmare scenarios from the "never legalize-it's" about distribution, price, supply, ever happened. Actually, in the almost 2 years that the doors swung open for official recreational use, the novelty has worn off, and there are less people in line, coupled with the shops learning how to handle the shoppers more efficiently.

Just curious as to how it is going in the other recreational-use states. Would love to hear from anyone around the world from countries that are pot-legal as well. Of course, any other "connoisseurs" or fellow rec-users just want to compare notes that would be awesome too.
