first taste test of sage, after about a week of curing and WOW!
i just grabbed a few very small nugs (about a bowl-full each) and stuck it in my little pipe. these nugs came off the shorter pheno, the one that smelled just like sweet pink grapefruit while it flowered. i love this plant!
the smell - the nugs smell almost like they thicken the air when you sniff them. very sweet, thick, and tangy smelling. actually reminds me of drinking "tang" now that i think of it.
the smoke - the smoke is damn fine too with only a weeks cure. it has that "thickness" to it that leaves that tangy, smoke taste on the roof of your mouth and tongue. no coughing here at all. smooth, thick and tangy. extremely smooth and tasty.
the high - i ended up packing one bud into the bowl and killing it myself. probably about 5-6 hits. first bowl definately got me up and running! did a few things for about 5 minutes and packed up a second bud. boom! it hit me. i finished the bowl and just sat staring at the tv with my forehead down the spine of my back just tingling in the chair. i started thinking "damn, this shit is kickin in nice!" i just zoned out for a few minutes enjoying the different buzz than i have been used too. about 30 minutes later and my head is still tingling, i feel really relaxed even after drinking a coffee. clear and awake, not tired at all although i my eyes are a little squinted.
i am very glad to see that this little plant, that smelled so good in flowering, holds on to that sweet smell and taste when smoked. this is a very special plant. now i see why sage is crossed with so many other strains.
