Pot grower’s ‘Beast Mode’ strain packs punch [SEAHAWKS]
The Seattle Times ^ | 1/26/2014 | Robert Young

With bartenders naming cocktails after Seahawks players, it’s no surprise a local pot grower has come up with a strain called “Beast Mode,” in tribute to Marshawn Lynch.

“It’s extremely strong,” said Nate “Diggity” Johnson, owner of the Queen Anne Cannabis Club, which carries the strain named after the burly Seahawks running back.

Most of the weed sold in Seattle medical-marijuana dispensaries has a THC content between 12 and 20 percent. An indica-dominant strain of the OG Kush family, Beast Mode has a THC content of 17.6, according to testing by Analytical 360, Johnson said.

I know a number of FReepers have the expertise to comment on this.

Note: "regular" pot stores in Washington (non-medical) don't open until June.

I quit, because it just became too strong! I used to come home from work, take a couple tokes, and sit down at my pedal steel and practice for a couple of hours. It really did help me concentrate and focus. Then it got so strong that just one toke made me extremely nervous. What fun is that? And that was about 25 years ago. I think today’s pot would send me to the ER!
Thanks, but no thanks.

Maybe the nervousness and paranoia will dissuade new users from repeat business?

I have heard that 1/4 of a brownie will be plenty for someone who is new to the drug.

Some people eat a whole brownie, feel nothing, then eat another. 45 minutes later they’re calling 9-1-1 (delayed effect from digesting food stuff as opposed to smoking).

Joe Biden is selling pot T-shirts now? Does he recommend shotgunning a joint?

“I have heard that 1/4 of a brownie will be plenty for someone who is new to the drug.”

Please be more precise: metric brownies or imperial?

Og Kush is to heavy of a stone for me. It’s darn creative high, but it comes with the wasting side effect of ‘couch-lock’.

You can research the strains online. Search for Indica + Sativa blends.

In 1972, I kissed “Buddha’s” belly.

I got handed a toke that was slimmer than a toothpick, and about a quarter inch long.

I laughed out loud. “Expect anyone to get a buzz off this?”

Everyone in that bunker stopped and looked at me. Then I heard the insult: “Cherries, what the F... can you do with them.”

I took a hit, and was gone for about a day and a half.

It was only ONE hit.

Popped my cherry right then and there.
