Guess what?

I smoked hops this weekend!

I went to the Mt. Snow Brewfest in Vermont- It was AWESOME, Harpoon Munich Dark is STILL my all time favorite beer.

The nice people at Long Trail Brewery were kind enough to have a display that included some nice hop cones.

My impression is this:

The high is VERY sedative. Very sleepy and relaxing, but still similar enough to cannabis that you can recognize the relation.

I slept like a log afterwards.

The taste is a cross between the flavor of a nice IPA, and a REALLY good cigar, if you can imagine that.

The lupulin resin glands are a clear, bright yellow. The cones look like hemlock pinecones, but of course green, and papery.

I give cannabis' legal cousin a thumbs up.
