Sensory data is a curated, hand-mapped seed; detail completeness is medium. Identity confidence is medium. The diagram is this strain's own sensory radar, not a photo. Batch quality still depends on grower, freshness and storage — none of which is captured here.
Background
The story
“Sweet, woody pine over a faint herbal base.”
The nose is mild and earthy: sweet, woody pine over a faint herbal base. The effect is barely a 'high' — a clear, calm, focused ease that leaves the head functional.
It's smooth and gentle, one of the most-recommended therapeutic CBD cuts. For calm with essentially no high, ACDC is a go-to.
