This bud is incredibly rare to find, but totally worth it every time because of its flawless combination of its parents' effects.

Many users report falling asleep as the high builds, especially if they are less experienced or took a few tokes.

This bud has a surprisingly sweet vanilla flavor accented by pungent earth, and a strong aroma of pungent kush with a hint of sweet vanilla as the nugs are burned.
