The first strain I ever tried that had a positive impact on me was Bleu Cheese. This was around May of 2017, before this I'd been living an entirely straight-edge lifestyle pretty much by accident thanks to how socially isolated I was back then. I'd had some weed a couple times prior to this, but it always fucked me up a bit. Not so with this strain.
When my old man's hardcore band was playing a festival in Baltimore, he and their road manager were passing around a joint filled with BC. I thought to myself, might as well take a few puffs to pass the long hours on the highway from Massholechusetts down to Maryland. What followed was an experience I've yet been able to replicate with any strain.
I felt an unparalleled sense of calm, a little bit of sleepiness, and a God-like degree of creativity. Remember those trippy-ass visualizers from Windows XP media player? I was seeing visuals similar to that shit every time I closed my eyes. For virtually the whole ride down to B-More I was brainstorming all manner of fucked-up concepts and events for this post-apocalyptic novel I've been working on for several years. I'm sure pops was happy too, because normally when we're on road trips I talk everyone's ear off and won't shut up.
Other than BC some of my favorite strains include Sour Diesel (which my plug calls "Sour Deez Nuts"), GG4, Chemdawg, Gorilla Cookies, and Girl Scout Cookies... I'm sure there are others that I was too fuckin' blazed to remember the names of. What strain I prefer all depends on the task at hand and my current mood.
