Mimosa by Vibe

The Mimosa hits hard. There's nothing left of the eighth now, this was the last joint. When I was floating we had stopped on a gravel bar when I took out a joint of Mimosa and promptly dropped it right into the river. I didn't panic but instead I quickly plucked it out of the Current and set it aside to let it dry. When we got back to camp I put the soggy joint in the back of my car and forgot about it for a few days while it dried.

Once it was dry it fired up just fine, despite having been dropped into a brisk river. So that is a lesson I will take with me down the road. Even if your joint gets wet you can simply let it dry and fire it up once it's had time to dry out. No problem.

My final conclusion from smoking Mimosa is that I really like Vibe's sativas. The first winner was their Chem Reserve, which I never wrote much about because I was too busy enjoying the zany high it imparted. I did, however, include a short review of Chem Reserve as part of my Top Strains of 2024 (link here).

I liked the Chem Reserve high better than Mimosa but that was a high bar to clear. Considering my experience with Chem Reserve, Mimosa, and, more recently Blue Cheese x OG Skunk and also Peanut Butter Parfait, there is no other brand/grower that I would turn to for a trusty sativa experience than Missouri's Vibe. I'll try any sativa they offer. Their Gelato was pretty good, too.

The lineage on Mimosa is Clementine x Purple Punch (link)...

Orange Malt from Crops

Another great Orange Malt session. That stuff is amazing. Unassuming. Like what you would get from your best 1:1 THC:CBD gummy. No bite, not racy. What are the noids? It had me cleaning, casual, affable. What a great smoke. And it carries for three hours.

Eventually I'm going to re-up with something else, something heavy but it's 6 pm on a Sunday and I just got a lot of tedious work done, the Malt still running through my veins. It helps me feel capable, ready, open, flexible. What more can you ask for? It's not trippy, it's not spacey, it's not really a high-idea smoke. It's a get-shit-done bowl of get-after-it.

This is a Strain of the Year candidate. It has me thinking about what other strains are made from crossing Ice Cream Cake with a sativa. Because I like Ice Cream Cake a lot. Pleasant high, makes me curious and happy. But the Orange Malt has more energy behind it. Also makes me interested in the other parent, Mimosa. You can get "straight-up" Mimosa. You can get Clementine, too. I'm intrigued.

Let me take this moment to appeal to the Crops brand, owned by Justice Co. I see that Crops is on the menu in Troy, IL and in Maryville, IL (until just now I did not realize there was a dispensary in Maryville... I am never up that way). I go through Sauget, IL, or can, on a regular basis. Please send some Crops drops back to Beyond/Hello. I have supported Crops on the Beyond/Hello menu but there hasn't been any new Crops dropped in Sauget all year. I have had your Orange Malt, Donny Burger, Lime OG, etc. I will buy it if you get it back on the Beyond/Hello menu. And with that, I am out—
