Initial Thoughts
If a Hawaiian vacation is what you need, you’ve come to the right place. Shortly after a few tokes of this Hawaiian Rain from Florida marijuana dispensary, Cookies Tampa, I was mentally on a hammock in Hawaii watching a rainstorm and dozing off. I felt that sleepy-happy feeling that usually comes after a day of fun-in-the-sun. It was a full relaxation of mind and body.
Appearance
Maybe it was the high, but upon examination of these buds, I could see the Hawaiian Rain over the ocean at sunset. The buds are a bright tropical green with deep purple accents and bursts of burning orange pistils amidst a frosty haze of trichomes.
Status
Fresh, but starting to cure.
Aroma
Hawaiian Rain smells like a bouquet of lavender spritzed with a bit of gasoline. The aroma definitely pulls you in and lets you know the flavor is going to be special.
Flavor
The London Pound Mintz shines through on flavor. Hawaiian Rain has a sweet cake-like flavor with hints of florals. The minty exhale gives a bit of a menthol vibe as well.
Lineage
The Hawaiian Rain strain is an indica-dominant hybrid of London Pound Mintz and Jealousy, two of Cookies’ superstar buds.
Effects
This ride is a highly potent one that seems to make everything go in slow motion. It comes on heavy in both the mind and body with an overwhelming sense of relaxation and bliss. It’s a cultivar that is definitely best enjoyed before an evening of absolutely no plans.
Conclusion
Hawaiian Rain isn’t your everyday, casual toking option, but when you need to get away and can’t, it will get you right as rain. Like going to Hawaii, it’s an experience that will wow you, but also leave you needing a nap. The strong effects are perfect for an evening in or a pre-bedtime ritual. Overall, it helped me let go of some anxiety both physically and mentally allowing me to just be present in my sleepy, cozy moment.
