Creamy, doughy taste. Is that the Sherb? This is my third or fourth bowl of it. Not today. Over the last week or two.
The first bowl gave me a splendid head rush that could’ve derailed me into a ditch, it had that sort of power, force, flash flood effect. Strong, sudden, unpredictable.
Bred by Exotic Genetix, Rainbow Chip is a classic strain. The parents are Sunset Sherbert and Mint Chocolate Chip, source: click here. Through the Mint Chocolate Chip strain, you get some Trainwreck in the lineage, which is part of what drew me to the strain. I’ve been curious about Trainwreck for a couple years, ever since I started digging into lineages. You rarely evensee Trainwreck as a stand-alone strain so I seek it out as a parent or grandparent. It’s a mythical, apocryphal ancestor.
I’ve also been warming up to the Sherb family of strains. One of my favorite strains of last year was Bacio 91 from Fig Farms in Illinois. Then there was the Butterscotch Bacio I had first in New Mexico and then in Arizona. Both were excellent, and eye opening. I have strain reviews on this blog for both (click here, and here).
This eighth of Rainbow Chip yielded the largest, fattest single bud I have ever taken out of a bag or a jar. And the four-gram weigh-in for the bag amounts to the largest overall weigh-in for any of the fifty or so eighths I’ve cracked since I bought a scale to do the measuring. The large nug that might have been a cola weighs 2.59 grams alone, a real beauty.
Camp sells their eighths in sealed, zipped, mylar pouches. The bag is short but long, which allows for laying a longer bud in the bag, which wouldn’t be possible in a stout glass jar. The bag was $30 before tax. It was completely sealed, both in terms of being tamper-proof and airtight. The bud is well-cured. So I’m pleased with this purchase. The rush comes on immediately. I’ve only smoked this Rainbow Chip out of a glass bowl. My wife and I recently moved so I have not had the time or patience to sit down and roll joints.
I bought the bag at 315 Primo in Valley Park, MO. That place was cramped, both its parking lot and the waiting room. Their menu was the best in town, which is what drew me to the place. But getting in and out of there wasn’t fun. There were a bunch of people sitting in the waiting room who were there before I was but then they called up anyone who had placed an online order, which I had. So I went through. A woman working there was checking my names. I gave her mine but she couldn’t find it on the order list. She said she had an order for someone with my last name but the first name was Carrie. I don’t know any Carries. Nonetheless, the worker let me go on up to the counter.
It was really busy in there. I met bud tender Brandon up at the counter. He was all there but he couldn’t find my order either. First he said I must have put the order in at another store. I was like, “This is Valley Park, isn’t it?” I showed him the confirm on my phone. He looks at the list again and says, “Oh, the order must be under your wife’s name, Carrie.” All I could do was shake my head and go along with it. He read the items in the order and it was in fact my order so I just kept silent until the transaction went through. Then I told him I had no idea who Carrie was, that my wife’s name isn’t Carrie.
I believe I have overlooked CAMP Cannabis. This Rainbow Chip can be something like what I’ve seen Durban Poison or Sour Diesel pitched as: the espresso of cannabis. Sherb strains tend to act like a stimulant for me, at least initially. Then with Trainwreck and Straighter on the other side. Whew. But don’t expect the head rush portion of the high to last for more than half an hour. The time it took me to write this strain review. Then the high get kushy. There is a spentness. Take a breath, take a seat. Is that the Afgooey?
