Mendo Breath, what is a Mendo? A little bit of research will find that it is a type of common dab flatfish from Northern Europe. Are you perhaps wondering if Mendo Breath will get you fried like a fish? Well, read on and find out, fisherman.
For this month’s Strain of the Month, we have Mendo Breath at 24.1% THC from Cannabis on Time. Now, I don’t know how you guys do it here on the West Coast, but as an East Coast native, we have a system for rating our cannabis. This system is foolproof and based on these three criteria:
- Adventure: Does this cannabis make me want to avoid people, or does it make me want to explore the grand city of Eugene? How adventurous does it make me?
- Beauty: Does this cannabis make any landscape, even the most dreary and disgusting alleyway, look like a beautiful watercolor masterpiece? How much does this cannabis enhance my appreciation for beauty?
- Relaxation: How firmly does this cannabis plant my ass on the couch when I sit down? How hard is it to get up, and how good does it feel to stay down?
So where does Mendo Breath fall on these three scales? Well, tonight, I was determined to find out. I rolled up, wrote my grocery list, and got my nerves ready for a trip to Safeway. Let us see what this Mendo Breath can do to my very important task of going to get groceries.
I have not found a nice smoking spot in Eugene yet. I used to smoke in trees and on stumps, but I’m not seeing a whole lot of them around me. So I just smoked at my apartment, watching the sunset. It was beautiful watching the trees sway and listening to Vince Gerauldi; it really felt like fall. Smoking this freshly ground Mendo Breath, it had a real flowery-sweet, almost sticky taste that was quite enjoyable, not too harsh on the lungs either.
I eventually pried myself up and began the walk to Safeway. The only notable thing on my walk, aside from the beautiful setting sun, was a landscaper. I don’t know what a landscaper with a leafblower was doing at sundown, but he was very loud, and I did not enjoy him.
Once I got to Safeway, I realized I had forgotten my grocery list; however, I didn’t panic. I entered a sort of grocery-induced flow state and shopped for what I could remember. This strain did not fry my mind enough to make me forget what I needed to buy, but it was just enough for me to forget my acute social anxiety.
The walk home was enjoyable; it was dark and getting chilly. Before I got back to my apartment, I smoked the last little bit of the joint to see if it would help me to sleep. Once I got back home, I watched an episode of Twin Peaks and fell asleep just as the episode was ending.
Ok, let’s tally the scores:
On Adventure, I’d give it a 3 / 5. The trip to the grocery store was basic, but the high I got from Mendo Breath made it just a little more special. It could have been more adventurous, but it was an enjoyable trek nonetheless.
On Beauty, I’d give it a 3.5 / 5. The sunset was truly beautiful that night, and while I appreciated it, they were painted upon drab streets that didn’t jump out to me at all. If I were walking through a big open park while on this high at sunset, it would have been supreme.
On Relaxation, I’d give it a 4 / 5. It was a slight struggle to begin my walk; I felt quite heavy in a good way, the kind of heavy you get from being under a weighted blanket. Upon returning home, the high was just right for me to enjoy a good TV show and a full night’s rest.
A bit of Mendo Breath can make a dull and stressful chore like grocery shopping an enjoyable and surmountable adventure.
