Hello again to all my cannabis loving and canna-curious friends, and welcome back to another episode of The First 90 Minutes! Today we will be toking and talking about an awesome wax concentrate I picked up from my friend Mike V. at Sira Naturals in Somerville, Ma, and Blueberry Chocolope Sundae! So, as some of you more experienced users may have guessed, this is a combination of three wonderful cannabis strains, Blueberry, Chocolope, and Sundae Driver. Where this strain is a mixture, there is not a lot of information on the product as a whole pertaining to potential effects and terpene profiles, so I am going to try to determine the potential effects by breaking down the strains in this product’s lineage. Blueberry, which has a 17.0% THC content, has myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene as its top three terpenes. It is known to make the consumer feel happy, relaxed, euphoric, sleepy, and uplifted, making this a great fit for those with issues around stress, pain, anxiety, insomnia, and depression. Chocolope, which has a THC content of 16.0%, shows myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene as its top three terpenes. This strain has been noted to give the consumer an experience of feeling happy, uplifted, euphoric, energetic, and creative. It has been categorized as best fit for those who struggle with stress, depression, anxiety, pain, and fatigue. Our final strain, Sundae Driver, has THC levels measuring up to 23.0% with its top three terpenes are limonene, beta caryophyllene, and myrcene. This strain is said to leave the consumer feeling happy, relaxed, uplifted, euphoric, and creative. It is recommended for those looking for relief from pain, stress, depression, anxiety, and arthritis, and has been found to cause dry mouth, dry eye, paranoia, dizziness, and anxiety as potential side effects.

Looking at the breakdown of these three strains, we can pretty much gather than Blueberry Chocolope Sundae’s top three terpenes are myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene. Myrcene can be found in mangos, ylang ylang, and hops, to name a few sources, and is found to have a balsamic, peppery, and spicy aroma. The flavor profile is that of a balsamic fruit, geranium, herb, and must. It acts as a pain reliever, anti-oxidant, and a sedative. Limonene, which is found in the rinds of most citrus fruits, and is known for its aroma of sour lemon, orange, and citrus, with a strong citrus flavor profile. Limonene has been proven to have immense benefits as a bronchodilator, digestive aid, immune booster, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-anxiety, anti-tumor, and as an anti-depressant. However, these are not the only benefits of this terpene. It has also been found to promote weight loss and tissue regeneration. Finally, caryophyllene, which is found in basil, rosemary, cloves, and lavender, is known for its spicy and woody aroma and flavor profiles. It has been found to be an excellent anti-inflammatory aid and a neuropathic pain reliever.

It is due to these terpenes that I have chosen Blueberry Chocolope Sundae as my medication choice today to treat the onset of a migraine with left temple and forehead pain, nausea, and light sensitivity, in addition to stress and anxiety. The myrcene and limonene are great terpenes to target the stress and anxiety, while all three terpenes provide anti-inflammatory benefits, which are extremely vital in the treatment of migraines. A migraine occurs when the cranial blood vessels expand, and the tissue surrounding the brain is inflamed. Brain inflammation is also a great term to remember when choosing a strain to help with seizures, so focus on strains which are comprised of terpenes with high anti-inflammatory benefits. Ok, now that we have run through our background portion of this segment, I say let’s jump ahead. So let’s light up, sit back and toke and talk about the first 90 minutes!

Opening the wax container, there is a very spicy aroma with almost a citrusy, herbal kick to it. Flavor-wise, I am first hit with notes of citrus and spice, and with notes of berry and almost a very subtle sweetness as the taste fades away. Beginning this session at 4:50 p.m. with on hit of my G3 Pen on high heat, a head rush sensation hits me within minutes. This feeling has already led to a minor sense of relief from the pain I am experiencing in the left side of my forehead and temple. Although I am not noticing a significant improvement as of yet, however this is very promising as it gives me hope that the migraine-relieving properties will only intensify as the effects increase. There is a deep relaxation setting into my body, but it does not seem to be as much of a muscle-relaxation as it is a nerve calming relaxation. That may sound weird, but it is honestly the only way I can describe this sensation. At 5:00 p.m., I am feeling really unfocused, and my mind has a sort of floaty sensation. I can sense a strong cerebral hit coming on, and although it is definitely having an effect on my ability to think, it is also having a rapid effect in decreasing my anxiety and stress. I am finding that my mood is already showing signs of improvement as it begins to lift from a low and depressed state, and my anxiety is dropping from am 8 to around a 5.8. My mental stress level has fallen as well. Originally, it was at about a 9.3 and it has since dropped to a 6. The cerebral effects are coming on pretty strong at this point, and the fogginess and feeling pretty thick. The bodily relaxation is continuing to intensify and the migraine pressure has subsided significantly, along with the pain in my left temple and left side of my forehead. The bodily relaxation is seeping in from my skin all the way down to my bones, leaving me with a tingling sensation along my back, arms, and legs, which is exacerbated as my clothes brush against my skin. Although I have not experienced any changes in the nausea, I cannot claim that this is not being addressed by this strain. The one negative I am experiencing is dizziness, which very well could be contributing to the ongoing nausea.

At 5:20 p.m., my face has a “melted” feeling, and I definitely do feel a little stoned, but the foggy head is clearing and I am able to get up and function without the dizziness. The anxiety, stress, nausea, and migraine symptoms have all subsided, and I am left feeling calm, relaxed, reflective, and happy. The intensity of the physical relaxation has shifted, now making my body feel numb in addition to relax. I can see how this would be a great option for nerve for muscle pain. The sensation is similar to what one would experience when applying a lidocaine patch to a painful area. My mood has continued to uplift into a euphoric state, yet I am also feeling very content. Unfortunately, my level of focus is terrible with this product, but when listening to the right music, this strain is spot-on. At 5:50 p.m. I am feeling the intensity of the physical and mental relaxation continuing to increase. My mood is calm, reflective, yet euphoric. Although I do feel happy, it is more of a relaxed happy, rather than a really bubbly happy. The physical numbness continues to penetrate from the skin, inward to the bones, and the dizziness has completely subsided. The nausea and stress have dissipated along with the anxiety, and my migraine has also completely resolved at this point. I am finding a slight improvement in my level of focus; however I would not attempt any important tasks. My thought process, while more clear than earlier on, is very slowed and I am easily distracted. Despite the slightly more organized thinking patterns, I am still finding that my mind is very scattered, which has prevented me from ruminating on any one situation or idea. I believe this has also played a part in keeping my anxiety low.

Rounding the corner to our 90-minute mark at 6:21 p.m., the bodily relaxation is still running strong, leaving my body riddled with a strong tingling from the skin to bone. My level of clarity has greatly improved, yet my focus is still not yet to a point where I would be confident in my ability to handled complex tasks. My response time is still definitely slowed, and I continue to feel somewhat stoned, and my body and mind both feel very calm and at peace. I have not noticed any significant changes in my mood, and the effects seem to be holding pretty consistently. There has been no return of my migraine symptoms, anxiety, stress, or depression. As I continued to monitor the remainder of the effects, the last of the psychoactive components of Blueberry Chocolope Sundae faded out at 6:57 p.m...

Jumping into our final thoughts, this strain is amazing. It targeted and destroyed my migraine symptoms, anxiety, stress, and depression without an issue. The bodily relaxation was incredible, and I especially loved the bodily numbness I experienced. I absolutely believe based on my experience that this product would not only fare well for those who suffer from migraine and mental health disorders, but it is also an amazing fit for those who are suffering from muscle and nerve pain as well. The one negative I did encounter is the dizziness, which was a little strong at the beginning, but it did taper down toward the end. One of the things that I found this strain is fantastic for is to sit and draw, write, work on some form of creative art where you can let your mind wander and just see where it goes. Putting on some music to vibe with your high makes it even better. Personally, at the beginning of the high I was more focused on remaining in one location due to the dizziness. However, as the effects shifted, I found myself better able to move about and enjoy myself without feeling couch locked. After testing this product and finding it to be a great match for my needs, I would definitely rate this at 4.8 stars. I would highly recommend this to both experienced and inexperienced users alike, but I will caution you to go slow because this is a bit of a heavy hitter. Great job Sira, Keep up the great work!
