The sun is starting to melt away the typical overcast skies of winter, and everyone seems to be seeking the best way to celebrate the liveliness that returns to Eugene in the springtime. Students and locals alike fill the banks of the Willamette. They lounge on outdoor blankets, once again donning sunglasses and shorts. Others walk the streets with destinations in mind, and some simply wander, chasing the warmth of the sun. Music blares softly from several open windows, and tree branches that were bare a few weeks ago blossom with life once again.
It’s undeniable that even a taste of sunlight awakens the streets of this city. The shift in warm weather makes another thing undeniable: the time is right to find a strain that heightens the good vibes that spring ushers in.
Spring is perfect for new beginnings — new habits, new hobbies, and new strains. I’ll be the first to admit that when I pick out a new strain, the first thing I look at is the price. When I walked into Oregrown on W 6th Ave., I wasn’t looking for anything in particular. For a reasonable $8 per gram, Wolf’s Tooth caught my eye. It initially piqued my interest with its dense, frosty appearance. Upon further inspection, the subtle earthy aroma chased with hints of citrus and a slight diesel scent sealed the deal. Wolf’s Tooth is an indica with 24.36% THC, so this wolf can definitely bite.
The first hit of this strain packed a tangy punch that settled into a smooth, earthy finish. When it’s frigid and rainy outside, the last thing I want to do is linger outside once the sesh is finished. Usually, it’s a quick retreat indoors for me, seeking artificial warmth from blankets and tea. This time, the renewed energy that accompanied a peculiarly warm late-winter day persuaded me to bask a little longer in the sun shining through the trees.
The murmurs of Eugene coming back to life mixed with the full-body experience of Wolf’s Tooth will send you straight into relaxation mode without knocking you completely out. This strain will make you want to stretch out on a patch of grass and let your mind wander. After a few hits and a good dose of sunlight, it will leave you feeling calm and creative. As Eugene shakes off its winter blues and melts into another spring, you can let Wolf’s Tooth inspire you to take a moment or two for yourself.
