The Blue Dream ramps back up when I close my eyes. I like that. Oh yeah, it’s still there and it’s got room to run. This could be an anytime strain. Taste of coffee—I’m not sure about blueberry but maybe the taste of blueberries past the edge. Smooth smoke, though.
This Blue Dream was grown by Flora Farms. In Humansville? Possibly. They’re based there, at least some of their flower is grown there. I’ve passed through Humansville, MO. A few times. On the way to and from Tucson, AZ. I must not’ve gone through the heart of town, just glanced the place a blow. Thought the name was funny. While driving back from Tucson with only Hugo the Dog along for the ride, I was keeping a journal of the drive as I drove. When I saw the sign telling me I had entered the limits of Humansville I wrote to myself, Who names these towns?
Then a few years later, in a parking lot outside a bakery in Tucson, I was killing time looking at news on my phone and up popped an article listing all of the oddest names for towns in each one of the fifty United States. I was hoping Humansville got the nod. Missouri was the last state listed, and behold, Humansville got the recognition it deserves.
I’d love to stop by the Flora Farms hometown shop. One day. About their Blue Dream. I’m pleasantly high, and writing. It’s 23:16, a Saturday, April 29, 2023. Maybe a vodka nightcap and then I’ll sleep.
The Blue Dream got me aroused. I never mind that. If I’ve got a mate or a quiet place. Right after I smoked I went and checked on a window in the basement that has been opening on its own during the right kind of storm. I should say, I am not at home. I am at my parents’ home, in Belleville, IL, one state and 35 minutes away from where I live.
Writing in bed. I love it but it’s hell on my shoulder. Both of them. And my neck.
The window was secure. The wind is really humming away out there, though. I had stepped out to spark a small cig I rolled containing Blue Dream. I try to roll relatively thin, short joints. My buddy Patrick dubs them pinners. If I roll them right, that name fits. The Blue Dream cig I smoked was not quite as thin as a pinner.
Out there in the wind I thought of the window. Went downstairs, realized a bulb down there was out. When I was done checking on the window, I went and got a replacement bulb. Blue Dream is considered to be a sativa. Quick strain breakdown: sativas grow taller and are supposed to be more of an energetic high; indicas grow shorter and more stout; the indica high is more like you want to sit and amaze in something, or just relax, tune out, zone out. Then there are all kinds of hybrid strains filling the middle.
To call Blue Dream a straight sativa is a little misleading. Maybe it is a weaker sativa because Blue Dream tends to have a relatively low THC content. This batch from Flora tests right around 15%. When there are a multitude of strains resting comfortably in the mid-to-upper twenties; and some strains reaching above 30% THC, the Blue Dream at 15% is to sativa marijuana what light beers are to IPAs.
Maybe this grass is “only” 15% THC, but this high has me feeling like I don’t need any more fuel. I’m lying in bed, enjoying the act of lounging. Yet I’m still pleasantly alert for this time of night. I’m still awake but I’ll be ready to nod off before too long.
After that night cap, what’ll it be?
It’s vodka and water. Some of the water started out as slivers of former cubes but they are frozen no more. The Blue Dream persists. It was my research into Chemdawg and OG Kush that led me to Blue Dream—because it is derived from neither. It might also be that smoking Blue Dream piqued my interest in the strain further because she thought it hit her different, with a lighter, energetic touch, and that it lasted a few hours.
Lineage: Blue Dream is Blueberry crossed with Haze, specifically Super Silver Haze.
Blueberry derives from a few landraces mingled together: Thai and Aghani sativas along with the Afghani indica.
Super Silver Haze is a mix of several older, original building block types of strains: Wacky Weed, Santa Marta Gold, Colombian sativa, Hawaiian sativa, and Afghani indicas. I cite Seedfinder as the source of this information.
I see Super Silver Haze for sale, here and there. Rarely do I see Blueberry. By the time I will post this article about Blue Dream, I will have had a few versions of it. Flora Farms in Missouri, C4 in Missouri, and then a grower I can’t remember operating in Massachusetts. They’ve all been good. It’s a strain to buy repeatedly.
Getting tired. Pull of the Blue Drea fading. Heavy lids, allergies, empty glass. Almost tomorrow, which comes along whether or not I’m done with today. Aye, but today is done with me and so I say goodbye.
Conclusion: Blue Dream is a versatile strain. Open your eyes, it’s like caffeine. Close them, its effects are mildly psychedelic. I will try any Blue Dream.
