I realize that the product in this review is straying a bit from my usual hash reviews but I had an itch. I wanted something that would melt my face . . .
Astro Pink Diamonds – LegalHash Review
Genetics: Vancouver Island Pink Kush
Grower/Producer: Endgame Extracts – Adastra Labs Inc
THC: 89.35% CBD: <1.0% terpenes: β-caryophyllene, , linalool, α-humulene
Bag Appeal: It’s yellow crystalline rocks so . . .
One of the truly great things about retail legalization is that when you are in the mood for a change, you can wander into your local and ask the budtender for something interesting. Imagine that – just like any other product. That said though, most of the budtenders I dealt with in legal states during my travels (CO, CA and NV) all seemed to be stoner girls with tats and a bored attitude. Their recommendations just didn’t seem credible because they obviously didn’t give a crap. Luckily, my local store has staff that actually does know their products. The Astro Pink Diamonds was their recommendation. I have tried shatter and budder and similar BHO’d product in the past and while they were fun, they always made me cough like a banshee. I blamed it on the high THC but it may have been impurities in the pre-legal products that I sampled. But feeling adventurous I bought a gram of the Astro. Diamonds are extracted THCa that crystallizes into . . . well . . . good stuff when heated. This batch is a light yellow color with virtually no odour and little-to-no taste.
But . . . it does a fine, fine job of face melting. With no coughing.
Yeah, just to be clear, this isn’t the product to get if you want to get high and sit around with your smoking buds savouring the nuances of cannabis. There isn’t any taste. There isn’t any smell. While the company does mention terpenes in the online description, they certainly left town by the time I smoked this. The OCS (the gov’t online site) says: “offers distinct aromas of white pepper, orange, butterscotch, coffee, and earth”. Ha ha ha ha. What the fuck were they smoking? Really. And Endgame claims that they chose the Vancouver Island Pink Kush for its “its renowned sweet, gassy, terp profile” but I am calling bullshit on that. It was actually for its “its hard-hitting potency”. That I will believe. You buy this to get high as shit. It is lab tested at 89%, so you have to figure that something will happen when you smoke it. I put a small crystal in my trusty APX and five minutes later I was a rutabaga . . . or something. The real up lasts (me) less than an hour but the stone is nice in a heavy Indica way. As I write this, I am buzzing from a crystal I smoked in my hash pipe. Boom! And another . . . Boom!
Available across Canada. $39.30 for 1 gram.
Edit: Oh . . . one thing I forgot to mention . . . they are a legacy producer. They somehow transitioned from black market to legal . . . excellent!!!
