Bonsai Cannabis Pineapple Express
A review by Erik, budtender
I woke up with not much morning left to me. Thankfully waking up at 11:30am on your day off isn’t the worst thing ever. The night before I had finished closing up the shop to meet my girlfriend at a friends for some cards against humanity, which ended up lasting till 3:30am.
Once I was conscious enough to roll out of bed I began to examine the strain for my day off. Bonsai has attractive packaging with a pleasant blue, gray, and white. The front is labeled nicely with the strain in an easy to read font in the same color scheme as the bag.
Before opening the bag I instantly noticed a gorgeous coating of white crystals, they were so dense that they had altered the hue of green. It appeared to go from dark sea green to lighter almost lime color. Next thing I noticed was the generous population of orange hairs the came from what looked like every part of the buds.
Now to pop the package and grind a bud. I ground up enough for a wake-n-bake joint for 2 and was overwhelmed with the sweet smell of pineapple, mango and heavy cream. It reminded me of working in a Thai restaurant, particularly making mango sticky rice.
I rolled it up and took a couple slow draws on it before lighting it, a good trick to keeping even flavor. I noticed that the taste was a little more creamy than the aroma, but the citrus was still prevalent. We lit it up and noticed instantly that the taste translated well into smoke and lasted for the majority of the joint.
The intense headbuzz came on quickly, yet the intensity dialed back and settled in to a nice level cerebral stimulation after about ten minutes. I look over and my girlfriend had started the dishes and was bouncing around to the music I had put on. I began taking notes on the lovely bud around this time.
Soon food was an unavoidable issue and I had some smoked salmon with cream cheese on toast. Although I was hungry, I couldn’t stop moving around from all the energy. It took me 45 minutes to focus on finishing my meal. There’s just something so satisfying about filling your belly on a good sativa. A great sense of calm washed over me as my belly filled up, but I wasn’t necessarily tired. My muscles were nice and relaxed and the usual dull pain I feel in my extremities had seemed to drift away unnoticeably.
I began to loose focus so I brewed a cup of some Yerba Mate and finished up my notes. The cerebral buzz lasted about 4 hours though I am a heavy user so 4-6 hours is probably a good scale of duration. The effects dissipated nicely without a crashing feeling or any noticeable imbalance.
Overall Pineapple Express by Bonsai is a delicious sativa dominant hybrid that is in the running for best all day smoke in my opinion. This bud made for a great start to a day off and will make a perfect addition to anyone who likes sativas or hybrids alike.
