SHANGRI-LA
ORIGIN/GENETICS - A rare strain with Japanese genetics that brings an interesting vibe. From Jinxproof Genetics, they Crossed a Japanese indica FUDO MYO-O × 9 POUND HAMMER and it has brought us a wonderful, interesting strain with very unique qualities that was a 3rd place winner at the IC 420 Growers Cup in the Sativa category in 2016.
PHYSICAL FORM - The bud is covered with a light dusting of tiny, furry trichomes that feels like you are holding on to a peach. Even the colour gives off a light peach tone that's blended with a light caramel or nutty tint. Breaking open the bud reveals a minty green shade and the long wiry hairs are of the brightest orange you have ever seen. Has a nice soft, spongy texture when squeezing the bud and reshapes itself with each squeeze. Though when it comes to breaking the bud down, it busts up with such ease that it pretty much just falls apart on its own with minimal effort.
FRAGRANCE - The scent brings a wonderful, refreshing vibe that doesn't overpower. It brings the sweet smell of nature and fresh air blending together the smells of the outdoors. There is a skunky undertone with just a touch of citrus that delivers a little twist but the majority of the aroma rests with the blend of plants & trees on a bright, sunny spring day.
FLAVOURS - The flavour is refreshing as well and it delivers an incredibly smooth smoke that soothes the throat and leaves a creamy film behind protecting you from coughing. It brings a sweet fruity tone to the tastebuds with a big, unexpected splash. Expecting a slight citrus flavour due to the scent but then surprised with a sweet berry flavour. The underlying skunky tones stick around and blend very well with the rest of the flavour and it brings an exciting vibe with each exhale.
EXPERIENCE - This strain got the Shangri-la name because it leads users into feeling wonderful and like living in paradise where everything is perfect and nothing can go wrong. Shangri-La delivers this feeling while making you feel like it will never end. It grabs on right away and instantly delivers this larger than life feeling. All senses are heightened and everything around you seems fresh, new & crisp. It brings a very exhilarating vibe with an exciting rush that makes colours more bright & vibrant and makes sounds more crisp & clear. If you didn't know any better you would think that you have passed through a Stargate and discovered a more exciting version of your life right in front of you. For hours you can get lost in a project or activity before the indica side slowly but deeply begins to relax the body. Your body will then go completely numb from all the excitement and just lock you to the couch.
HEALTH BENEFITS - It has amazing powers of action and eliminates any fatigue the body is suffering from and gets you up on your feet and moving around like 10 years just got taken off your life. Great for treating stress & depression but too much may start to cause a little anxiety. Takes care of any nausea and promotes a strong, healthy appetite.
