The Story
“Honeyed grass and citrus with a faint skunk.”
The nose is sweet and earthy: honeyed grass and citrus with a faint skunk. The effect is up and clear — an energetic, happy, creative head with little weight, a classic daytime sativa.
It's mild by modern standards but historically huge. For old-world sativa sweetness at the root of Skunk, Colombian Gold is foundational.
