This was the only purchase of Island bud I have made. They shorted me. I weighed it out to 3.4 grams. I haven't avoided Island; they just weren't on the Beyond/Hello menu that much in 2025. I haven't ventured out to any other Illinois dispensaries but I know they are out there (Shiloh, Collinsville, Troy). I also buy in Missouri, New Mexico, and Arizona, so I am trying here and there throughout the year.

The Crazy Hazy was nice looking bud. It was a strain that I found pleasant to grind up. It had that feel of being "right." So I'll see how the effects are on this, my last or penultimate joint from the eighth. I will try to use the effects as motivation to do something useful. Crazy Hazy was dubbed a sativa on the dispensary menu but my sources for lineage online indicate it as an indica. For what that is worth! The breeder is Archive Seed Bank (link to Seedfinder page here). They spell the Hazy with another "e" i.e. "Crazy Hazey."

The lineage is unusual. One parent is an unknown strain called Big Sur Holy Weed. I have an image of the 1970s in my mind, VW buses and the West Coast. The other parent is Face Off OG x Moonbow #75. I have tended to like Face Off crosses/descendants. Animal Face being one, Do-Si-Dos being another.

Anyway, I am feeling the need to get up and make some preparations for the continuing cold and the oncoming snow. It is going to snow tonight, tomorrow, and on into Sunday. Only five inches if we are lucky...
