Initial Thoughts
Given the sparse supply of great sativas in the region I’m always keeping my eye out for them. One available, high-caliber option is this batch of Diesel Cake from DC i-71 storefront dispensary, The Basement. It’s got a really nice coating of trichomes, a Sour Diesel-like stench, and if you need some extra energy to race through your day, it will definitely get your motor running.
Appearance
Light green, spear-shaped buds with bright orange hairs, purple flecks, and heavy trichomes.
Status
Curing, but stored and handled correctly.
Aroma
Sour, musky, and earthy with hints of skunk and cream.
Flavor
Gassy and sour with earthiness in the aftertaste.
Lineage
Diesel Cake is a cross of Sour Diesel and Wedding Cake that runs sativa dominant.
Effects
This one has powerful energetic effects and even created a social boldness and determination in me. It’s highly cerebral at first and can bring tremendous focus and drive to your daytime activities. Not for the faint of heart or those who are inexperienced with sativas, though. It can cause some edginess and racing thoughts at onset, but the glowing energetic high is ultimately one that sativa-lovers will thoroughly enjoy.
Conclusion
Overall, this is a powerhouse sativa-dominant batch that’s great to keep on hand for those days when you need to be energetic and on-point, but also absent any distracting pain. Once the buzz plateaus there are great euphoric qualities to the body buzz as well as the cerebral aspects. To pick up some for your stash box just head The Basement today and don’t forget to tell them Toker’s Guide sent you!
