What is goin’ on Kool Kats?!
Welcome back to the Juke Joint in the Trees where this time we will be taking a look at yet another new-to-me strain, Blueberry 1:1. For the purpose of explanation in this post, the 1:1 ratio simply implies that there is one part THC to one part CBD. That being said, let’s go ahead and break down Blueberry 1:1, reviewing the flavors I perceive to be present, some medicinal benefits, and my recommendation for users.
The Taste and Look
Blueberry 1:1 is a unique strain as it equally offers the THC and CBD components within its chemical makeup.
Marketed as an indica, the great combination ultimately makes the strain a wee-bit more balanced than consuming a THC hybrid strain or total CBD hybrid strain. Just like the previously reviewed Blueberry Muffins, Blueberry 1:1 has a powerful berry taste and scent. At times, the flavor and smell did have some strong CBD elements which often comes off as fairly herbal and spicy - something that is to be expected when the CBD content of the strain is high enough to make an impact. Now, because I was aware of the 1:1 potency, I expected the CBD tastes, but the natural blend of the flavor profile to its CBD content was breathtaking and life giving.
As you would get with all cannabis strains, this one produces a strong odor, so if you are looking for a more discrete way to use Blueberry 1:1, go for a distillate, or vape, form instead of wax, shatter or bud.
Medicinal Benefits
Following consumption, you can expect to feel only mildly high, but very relaxed and maybe even a bit drowsy. This strain is a perfect beginner strain for anyone looking to receive great benefits of cannabis without the overwhelming psychedelic effects that usually come along with using any strain that is THC dominant, especially if you have a THC sensitivity.
Blueberry 1:1 is perfect for high stress and depression. The euphoric feelings are subtle and will ease away pain slowly, but completely. Most people reported being able to do activities that stemmed from a sudden boost of creative energy thanks to Blueberry 1:1. I recommend this strain for removing any creative blocks and initiating the brainstorming process for new ideas to current projects when smoked in moderation. If you don’t know your high threshold, you will fall asleep while using this strain, primarily because of the CBD within. Expect to yawn quite often at that point and feel like you can't get to your bed fast enough.
I will warn you now; it took quite a bit for me to reach my high point (the point I can tolerate the high without nausea) which is a pretty major con. Perhaps I wasn’t “smoking it right” since I do deal with seasonal asthma and, well, ’tis the season! Either way the results that ensued were smooth and the benefits were worth the amount smoked.
Outside of the benefits mentioned above, Blueberry 1:1 is also great for treating pain as a result of glaucoma, migraines, and a variety of muscular disorders. Bone conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis can be relieved completely when you reach your high threshold, which is expected from an indica.
All in all, I really enjoyed Blueberry 1:1 and consider it a nice go to when I have more stress than usual. Blueberry 1:1 deserves a strain review rating of three leaves out of three!
