Strain Review: (I.S.S.) Island Sweet Skunk

So I just picked up some i.s.s. from delta9, and also had some from biocare the other day so I though I would leave my quick .02 on the strain.

At the moment this is definitely my top strain of choice :smokin: . First off let me start bye saying one of my symptoms as a medical marijuana patient is bio-polar depression. Basically I'm not bi-polar and i'm not depressed... basically I get depressed in a bi-polar sort of way, where one second i'm loving life and everything is perfect and the next life sucks and theres no point to it. I also have racing thoughts, anxiety ( I get extremely nervous around people I don't know, but I love being around people I do know, which is why I'm so timid for those of you wondering at delta9) and one last thing that comes along with all these mental problems is of course... o.c.d."Obsessiveâ??compulsive disorder"

Well getting to the point, i.s.s. helps with ALL and I mean ALL of these mental problems that I have. Not to mention it has an aroma that is indescribable. It smells sweet and full of citrus, while having a slight skunk mixed in. It kinda makes you scrunch your nose, yet want to keep smelling it, lol. It also tastes just likes it smells, only a little more skunky then fruity. If grown and cured right like the stuff I have picked up from Biocare or Delta9, then every hit will taste great with the exception that the taste gets a little weaker as the bowl goes on, but never gets stale and @$$ tasting. It burns to a pleasant white color letting you know it was cured right. :thumbsup: The effects set on almosty immediately and last for a good 1 1/2- 2 hours or more (maybe less or more) depending or your tolorence. Its a very strong sativa that makes EVERYTHING feel great. It makes me get that sort of giggly high I used to get from almost every sativa when I first started smoking that I no longer get from too many strains. Simply put its a bag of great feelings in a sack... or a medicine container for that matter, hehe.

-Well now if I can find an awesome indica strain to help with my shoulder pain (bursitis) at night and i'll be set. If anyone knows of some for shoulder or back pain that works great feel free to post. -thanks for listening "Buddahbear" :jointsmile:

I love ak47 for my shoulder pain. I have adhesive capulitis (sp) in my shoulder and when I can find AK47 it always does the job.

Good luck and thanks for the review on ISS.

Hey nice review there buddy! I recently discovered a strain out of Fort Collins that is perfect for pain: it's called Coup de Grace and was developed by A20labs. coincidentally, the breeder destroyed his shoulder years back and spent a few years developing this strain specifically for the pain that came from his shoulder injury. And it's really cheap at $290 per ounce!!! Check out the review:

-thats a frosty looking strain. The gentetics are great also. :D Would you happen to have a number or something for a20labs or somewhere that carries it so I can give it a try ?

*edit* nevermind found it ;)

glad you found it bro.

Just to keep it easier for others, here's A20labs' products page, all their strains look fricken amazing:

A20labs kicks arse

Alex, who you will most likely speak with, is a good guy who knows his stuff as well as anyone. Creating 'strains-for-pains' is his mission in life and I am drooling waiting to sample more of their wares.

thanks for yr honest review....
Def some good meds

Here is the full spectrum report on the ISS you picked up.

J, I am utterly impressed how you just whipped out the Full Spectrum report regarding the ISS :thumbsup: I hope this kind of info can then help patients like Budderbear identify on a measurable level the types of strains that help their particular issues.

And by the way... I think your Bruce Banner #1 is worth all the respect it's been receiving since it took the caregiver's cup by storm late last year :jointsmile:

does anyone know which version it is, federation or next generation? just curious.

meded so you can mededicate to mededitate

I do believe the ISS clone that floats around these parts is federation's Island Sweet Skunk..

i kinda lean towards next generation. they seem to be more involved in what they are doing. ive also read better reviews on them. too bad enterprise split up they probably would have been way better if they had not.
