I was never one to hop on the Runtz bandwagon in the height of its popularity, but maybe that’s because I never had access to great genetics.

It's so good that, who knows, maybe I’ll change my mind and hop on that bandwagon afterall. 🤔 Appearance This batch of Runtz is straight up sexy.

A succulent candy taste that coated my mouth in goodness. Lineage An offspring of Zkittlez and Gelato, the Runtz strain is a balanced 50/50 hybrid. However, this batch leaned more indica heavy in my experience. Effects This is a seriously potent batch of Runtz that has been my go-to for before bed all week. Instantly, a calming and relaxing mental state began - great for letting go after a long day. This was accompanied by a state of euphoria that took over my body.

This batch is perfect for anyone looking to counteract anxiety or treat insomnia because of the state of bliss this strain will put you in. Conclusion I’d highly recommend trying some of this Runtz; Its highly potent effects, freshness, and splendid taste have made this my favorite strain in the VA medical program at the moment. I can happily say I have gotten aboard the Runtz train, I hope you're ready for the ride. The Bank continues their trend upwards since they are consistently producing the freshest and tastiest flower the program has to offer right now. I hope this trend will continue and other MSO’s start to take notice so we have some real competition that will consistently produce buds like these.

However, it's all too often that these high aspirations end up crashing back down to Earth. CULTA 's Apollo 22, on the other hand, doesn't merely reach orbit—it propels you on a full-blown galactic journey. So, buckle up and prepare for liftoff; we're about to explore a cosmic experience curated by Maryland's own CULTA dispensary in Baltimore. 🚀 Appearance Regular readers (and my ego assures me there are many) know my fondness for looser trims, which preserve those precious trichomes like nature's tiny, sticky diamonds. CULTA's Apollo 22 did precisely that, boasting dense, glittery nuggets visible without magnification. Under a desk lamp's glow, the trichomes sparkled enticingly, drawing me into a prolonged, borderline obsessive examination through my loupe. Slightly drier than its batch-mates due to an earlier packaging date, the flower was nonetheless ideally textured for grinding and rolling. Status Fresh. Aroma If Apollo 22 is the spacecraft, its aroma profile is undoubtedly the rocket fuel propelling it toward the stars. I sniffed obsessively at the jar, dissecting chemical and gassy notes like a scent-obsessed bloodhound. Waves of hand sanitizer, facial astringent, and aftershave stung my nostrils (in the most enjoyable way possible), eventually balanced by subtler hints of leather, cedar wood, and refreshing lemon zest. Fans of CULTA's beloved Do-Si-Dos 22 lineage will recognize and applaud this aromatic intensity from the very first jar-crack. Flavor Considering the punchy aroma, I eagerly anticipated the flavor. The initial hit delivered an electrifying metallic jolt—think licking a 9-volt battery (please, don't ask). Soon after, flavors elegantly transitioned into rich notes of nut butter and genuine chocolate, evolving further toward deep leather and cedar chips. As my joint approached its finale, a surprising coriander note emerged distinctly, rounding out the experience with an unexpected but welcome twist. Each layer was easily discernible, transforming the smoke into an enjoyable palate adventure. Lineage The Apollo 22 strain is a balanced hybrid and a cross of Space Walker x Do-Si-Dos 22. Effects True to the mission’s theme, Apollo 22’s high launched rapidly, gently elevating my mental state to a clear, balanced orbit of focus and creativity. This strain doesn't send you floating aimlessly in space; instead, it grants you enough clarity and energy to pilot your day efficiently.

Flavor The flavor is on par with the aroma. It tastes like oranges and leaves a sweet citrus aftertaste. Lineage Forbidden Fruit Cake is a indica dominant hybrid cross of Wedding Cake and Forbidden Fruit, but, in my experience with this batch the effects are notably more balanced than the indica lean might suggest. Effects Users can expect to feel happy and extra giggly. I caught myself laughing at nothing a few times and almost everything was funny to me. My happy mood remained constant while a light uplifting feeling took over my body. These long lasting and lingering effects kept me settled for a while and didn’t have me rushing back to re-medicate.
