Green Goblin
09/26/2011 – 4:20
Type: Sativa
Rating: 7
Duration: 1.5 – 2.0
Method: Pipe
An initial inspection of Green Goblin presented a fresh, solid bud. Trichomes and red hairs are obviously visible upon magnifying. The fragrance is light. A grinder is probably a good idea for a thorough grind and a good puff. Upon initial inhalation, a light taste was noticed. Green Goblin presented a smooth inhale allowing for bigger inhalations.
The sedation is as expected for a sativa. Green Goblin was not heavy on the body when tested. It alleviates fatigue and headaches. Pain is moderately less with 1 bowl. Indica would probably be better for pain relief depending on the pain.
Elation is good and noticeable. Like the taste, elation is pleasant and not heavy, allowing tasks to finish without distraction while medicated.
Green Goblin is a good sativa strain. Dosage can be increased or decreased depending on your tolerance. The duration is longer than expected for many. It assists in alleviating symptoms related to diseases or disorders better than many pills prescribed by a doctor, much like all other strains. We are not doctors. We are patients.
Overall, Green Goblin is a good sativa, and does what a sativa is suppose to do.

Chromium Crusher Review
05/23/2011 – 4:20
Type: Grinder
Price: $30 – $50 (US)
Dimension: 1.75 H x 2.5 D
Weight: .55 lbs or 8.9 oz.
Includes: Velvet Travel Pouch
Many ask themselves, why should they use a grinder.
People often break the buds simply using fingers. This method of preparing the buds for smoking or vaporizing is not efficient first of all. It is not contained in one area causing scatter. After the buds are broken up by fingers, kief and the fragrance remain on the fingers.
Grinders are available from around $10. Many grinders attempt to grind but do not satisfy. Buds are still not broken up properly, sometimes unsmokeable, depending on the grinder and the buds. If the bud is dry, the lower-end grinders might be acceptable. If the buds are fresh and thick, a Chromium Crusher is needed.
The aesthetically pleasing Chromium Crusher will easily grind the buds for you, neatly and thoroughly. The Chromium Crusher boasts it is constructed with zinc and steel metal alloy.
The directions for using the Chromium Crusher are as follow. All parts are labeled in the above image.
Remove the magnetic cover (1) and place your buds on the sharp teeth (2) . Place the cover back on the buds, crushing it with your hands tightly. When the cover has been placed, twist it back and forth until no resistance is felt. Quickly remove and place the cover back to ascertain all buds have been ground. Twist the teeth (2) off then you will see your freshly ground buds. Place the grounds elsewhere and reattach the Chromium Crusher.
A kief catcher (4) will catch the kief from the previous level (3). After sometime, kief will clog collect in level 3. The process of grinding will be fast after you are accustomed.
Cristal
05/22/2011 – 4:20
Labeled as: Hybrid
Rating: 6/10
Duration: 1.0 – 1.5
Condition: Thick, Fresh, Grinder Recommended
Method: Pipe
The initial inspection of Cristal was interesting. The scent from the flower was not the typical “chronic” fragrance. Opening the container did not emit a strong fragrance. It has the scent of low-grade street buds. Many of us have had experience with a dime bag of no-name buds. This is not close to the quality of dispensary products. The appearance on the other hand is not a dime bag appearance. It is a solid bud with lots of visible trichomes and red hairs.
With the initial inspection, the Magic Dragon did not know what to expect. Of course, the fragrance nor appearance determine the final result.
Testing with the initial pull presented positive results. Though the pull was smooth for many, some had opinions about the minor harshness testing with a pipe. Of course, using a different method, such as a bong, would provide very different results.
The elation was noticeable and satisfying. Though it is obvious, it does not distract from tasks. Fatigue is alleviated while pain is reduced. Appetite stimulation is provided.
In the end, the scent did not factor in the results. Being a Hybrid, it provides qualities of both indica and sativa. Cristal is potent for some but not for seasoned smokers. It provides a potent elation with a not too heavy sedation. The combination of the positive aspects of indica and sativa can be found in Cristal.
Results could vary depending on the amount consumed, method used, and tolerance of the user.
