D.I.A. from Broadmoor Wellness

So, I walked into Broadmoor Wellness and they had a special:  1 oz. of D.I.A. (Denver International Airport) for $140.  At that price, I'll try anything just to see how good the deal is.

So I woke up this morning, clear-headed from a good night's sleep and med-free since I can't medicate myself after 8pm or I *will* be up all night, body tired, wanting to go to sleep, but with an edginess that my brain wants me to get up and do something productive.  Long story shorter, I'm a good lab rat for getting a clear impression of MJ strains since I stick to one strain per day.

So about that D.I.A.  It's fairly decent.  I'd say decent potency, no serious cerebral "high" with it, so for medicinal purposes, it's a very decent choice, especially for that price. 

It's definitely giving me a body high.  I don't like the term "fluffiness."  I prefer to be more specific about the body high.  It's making me feel smoother, meaning I'm feeling more coordinated. 

Not as much energy as some other strains give me.  I wouldn't want to be on this while I was trying to be productive because the high is fogging up my brain a bit, but if you're down for some relaxation time or if your body's giving you a difficult time in the muscle spasm or pain departments, this would be a good strain to convince your body that it doesn't have to be at war with you.  And really,just say to your body, can't we all just get along?  On this D.I.A., I think your body parts will be responding "yeah, man - it's all good".

As for Broadmoor Wellness, there was no information presented openly on which strains were sativas/indicas/hybrids. I really like for a place to have the approximate percentages posted on the jars, or on a wall board or something.  The guy there was helpful in a general way when asked about their different strains, but he seemed tired or like he was having a bad day.  I really don't like describing an operation as "lazy" or "disinterested", but Broadmoor Wellness does seem to give that impression.

Furthermore, giving MJ in a sandwich bag is seriously old school in a bad way.  Their 1/8 containers are neat, but not airtight. 

Also, I really like to see providers give a notice of what products were used in growing their MJ.  None of that was available.  The description stickers were just stuck to the receipt, not the individual packaging, which seemed kind of thoughtless to me.  I mean, I appreciate having the stickers on the packaging so that I can be easily reminded of the exact name of the strain that's in there.  I'd review the 1/8 I bought, but I can't remember what it was called and with no sticker on the cool little 1/8 container and their website out of date as to their menu, I really have no way of tracking that info down aside from going back there in person and seeing if they still have that strain (I kind of remember that it was a 3 word name that started with B).

And scrawling DIA on the sandwich baggie, while good for reminding me of the name, isn't exactly what I'm looking for when providers are labeling my purchases for me.

Lemon Sour Diesel (LSD) from SoCo MMJ

"I can kill you with my mind..." as the girl from Firefly said.
MJ can affect people differently.  It's all about your individually awesome messed-up brain.  For me, I got a ton of stuff done off my procrastination list but would be careful with the timing towards night-time.

Little squeezing behind the eyes, but kind of what you want from a lemon, I guess.
Very effective at focusing your concentration with some added energy, but NO creativity for me.
Good on some pain relief and serious-mode energy without silliness.
BUT I don't recommend this after 8pm.  Everybody make sure you get your rest.
I'm not one to get couchlocked, but I think this would be an easy one to do it on.  Now if I could just get my mind to STOP thinking about 3 different things simultaneously....

Cheers for SoCo MMJ. They vacuum seal their product in the shop, so you don't have to worry about how many peoples' noses have been in what you're about to put in your body.  They get excellent karma for that, but thumbs down for worried-I-got-a-nail-in-my-tire kind of industrial location.  Also, thumbs up for the driver's license reader.  I can't believe more people haven't implemented this yet, but it does cut down on the discretion when you're logged into the computer in the entryway.  They have an ATM inside for convenience and safety and they even give you credit for your ATM fee at the register.  I'm rooting for a counter in the wall of the office to give them a bit more safety.  They have the room for it.

Edit:  KindReviews out of Denver (I think) has good info on strains available.  Here's their post about LSD (Lemon Sour Diesel): http://www.kindreviews.com/06/lsd-delta-9/

Where are we? Why are we here? Who's flying this thing?

I am essentially a personal shopper for medicinal marijuana.  I have five (5) friends with more money than time (or apparently without the sense to comparison shop for themselves).

I started this blog to state my subjective opinions of strains from Colorado Springs MMJ providers and see if other people agreed with me, disagreed with me, or trolled me and called me names.

Trolls will be shot.

I love Pink's song Raise Your Glass, so in wine tasting tradition, cheers!
