5.0 stars / out of 5.0 stars
When I was notified that SDHHC was going to be the focus of my next review, I was all smiles. Apart from being one of my favs, this club is literally 5 blocks from where I live, so as far as location and convenience goes, they get a 5 hands down. If you're not familiar with the area, just remember...they're located at the south end of La Jolla Blvd., in between two roundabouts, and behind the Cass St. Cafe & Bakery.
Their waiting room is always clean and well kept. Plus there's a couple of cumfy couches and plenty of reading material to go around. Once inside their nug room you'll see another one of those cumfy couches, a flat screen, and a couple of real stand-up guys. Ryan and Alex are two of the most professional and compassionate BT's around. Check this out; I was a little short on loot one day and Ryan actually pulled out a couple of bucks from his own pocket so I could get the eighth I wanted!! Now that's compassion! Usually when I stop by Holistic Healing I'm in and out, but on this occasion I decided to hangout a bit and chat it up with the fellas. Which was actually pretty cool because I got to learn more about their operation and see them in action, attending to other members.
When I finally got around to choosing my samples, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to try. Two strains in particular; their Swiss Cheese and Candy Purple. My third pick was of course their SkyWalker OG aka my "Life Saver". I've literally been smoking on this stuff for the last two months and there's no signs of tolerance build-up at all. It's also been doing wonders for my insomnia. I also noticed they have some pretty bomb looking Headband, Romulan, and Fire Bubba all at $50/eighth. I actually stopped in again since my NugPorn visit to pick up some of their new Afgoo at $40/eighth, I got the quad for $65!! Which was due to the price break at a quarter ($75) and of course the Sunday discount. Just when I thought things couldn't get any better at SDHHC, they go ahead and drop their cap to $55!! Yes, they still have 3 private reserve strains capped at $25/$65 which is pricey I know, but there's plenty of other cheaper meds that are just as good, if not better. If for some reason you have to get one of those P.R. strains, get it on a Sunday and save yourself 5 bucks and a whole lot of grief.
Holistic Healing also carries a solid selection of tinctures, edibles, and concentrates. I have yet to try their tinctures, but have heard they're pretty potent. Their edibles are the bomb, especially their Greenerside quarter gram snicker doodles. They put me down like a tranquilized animal and for the amount of hash that's in them, they're super tasty. I've tried just about everyone of their concentrates and would have to say that their Diesel Wax and Powdered Hash Oil standout the most to me.
On to the samples...
**SkyWalker OG (Indica $20/$50)**
My absolute favorite of the OG variants and NugPorn pick. The earthy OG kush smell this flower gives off, completely dominates its Blueberry X Mazar counterpart. Even when burned, it emits a pungent musky odor that can be smelled a block away..lol..no joke. I could only get a whiff of blueberries when I gave the flower a little squeeze and smelled my fingers. The larger buds are a little leafy, but act as shields, protecting clusters of precious trichome villages within the flower. It has a super sticky and moist feel to it which makes it almost impossible to break up with your bare hands. Mostly light and olive green with thin amber pistils protruding from its core. The intense earthy taste you get through a filtered bubbler/bong is incredible and through my vape, I was still able to taste it on my pallet 5 min. after exhaling. The high is also equally amazing. I'm able to get sound sleep off this strain, but don't smoke it right before you go to bed because there's a pretty intense rush for the first 30 or so minutes before you begin to feel its drowsy effects. It's also very good for pain relief and stimulating your appetite.
**Swiss Cheese (Hybrid $25/$65)**
This Cheese cross definitely has got that stinky parmesan thing going on, but to me it was more like the parmesan that comes with to-go pizza, than the fresh stuff. It's super light green with patches of purple and dark orange hairs scattered throughout its swollen calyxes. Oh, and this cheese is totally trich'd out! I didn't really like its texture though. I felt it was a bit dry and chalky and crumbled too easily when I gave it a little squeeze. The taste is also off, I was expecting some funky fromunder cheese, but there was none. Through the vape, I was able to detect a hint of cheesiness, but it was very faint. After smoking I felt an immediate head float type rush that also invaded the muscles in my face and arms. Not very stoney though, I would say it's more of a sativa dominate hybrid.
**Candy Purple (Indica $18/$50)**
I don't know the true lineage of this strain, but if I had to guess, I would say it's a Cotton Candy Kush X'd with Purple Urkle. Though its smell is a lot more similar to that of the Grape Ape. It kind of smells like some of that lavender fabric softener with hints of grape candy. Buds are almost completely purple with tiny light green leaves emerging from the stem. With its golden brown pistils and long milky trichs, the Candy Purple definitely has some WOW factor. The taste was a little on the mild side and a lot more earthy than fruity. The high left me pretty zoned out, but not very sleepy. It did however bring me down enough to where I could relax and unwind after a long night at work.
As always, for all my findings I use a L.E.D. magnifying glass, 420 scope, sparkling clean 2 foot binger, bubbler, and V2 volcano vaporizer.
