Bud Review: Buddha's Sister + Mike Tyson's Futurola Cone Collab Worth the Price?
[5-min read] Is this high THC Indica strain the future?

Buddha’s Sister: An Indica that puts you “in the couch” but “high as a kite!”
A Modern Take on Indica: Buddha’s Sister 🪷
For the reputation that Indica strains get for tucking you in at the end of the night, I can assure you that this strain is NO SLEEPER. As an Indica-dominated strain, Buddha’s Sister struts around at a THC content of 24%, making it a deceptively loud bud. It can you run back at around $200 an ounce, but I can overwhelmingly say that it is worth every penny!

If you happen to stumble upon this strain at your local dispensary, here are some factors you can consider:
Some Features of This Bud:
Intense Cerebral Effects: One thing that stands out with this weed is how clear-headed this strain is. Thoughts came fluidly, and I can imagine this is a good strain for writing and fun conversations!
Unoffensive Flavor Profile: With this strain, you will likely enjoy the neat woody and earthen flavor to tuck you into your high like a shy little forest elf. This flower smells incredible, striking you first with a sense of nature rather than a street skunk crawling into a drain. Expect your friends to be thoroughly impressed with your find!
A Truly Classic Relaxed Feel: I was mostly relaxed and comfortable in my body. As someone who struggles reigning in a body high, I am exceptionally picky about which strains I favor. I can undoubtedly say that I experience basically no issues, and I was comfortable in my skin.
A body high that still leaves you alert: Despite being an Indica that will still put you out physically, I found that I was still creative and conversational throughout the high.
Manageable Dry-mouth: Nothing is worse than looking like Spongebob in Sandy’s Tank! It wasn’t too bad, and I was thoroughly impressed!
Strength: Party Pot 🥳
When I smoked this flower over the course of a week, I found that it was best in social situations - given that there wasn’t an overwhelming reductive effect on alertness combined with a soothing feel. With a strong creative feel without a lot of dry-mouth, you might find yourself overcome with ideas and strange takes! Plus, you’ll have plenty to talk about when you get compliments on your weed!
Drawback: Not the Best for Sleepy-Time
Despite being of the Indica variety, I found that it wasn’t the best remedy for a night time strain. You can get very high off of the sizeable THC content; some might even get a bit of anxiety. Besides, using this strain to sleep at night might be wasted on it. Simply put, there may be better strains for a strict sleep-aid.
Buddha’s Sister gets a 4.8/5
Overall, this is a strong strain which balances the strengths of a traditional Indica with a strong THC presence. However, due to its pricey nature, it could be considered a niche product due to my skepticism on whether it could put you to sleep or not. This is a very enjoyable strain (some good-ass shit!), and it’s one to look out for next time you hit up the dispo!

Mike Tyson’s Futurola 2.0 Cone Collab 🚬🚬
A few nights ago, I walked into a smoke shop and search of some cones. Before you raise your bong-purist and joint-enthusiast pitchforks, I can assure you that there was a perfect good justification for wanting a cone! Sitting behind a glass counter, I spotted it: the TYSON 2.0 x FUTUROLA TOBACCO-FREE BLUNT CONE.
Sporting a nicely wrapped, terpene infused, and tobacco-free cone, it comes in a re-useable glass tube. My wife and I were impressed with the presentation, and the option to store your unfinished blunts shows the people at Futurola actually smoke!
Terpenes are the Undisputed Champ! 🥊🥊
Providing a boost to the aromatic profile of your flower, taking drags from this cone worked like a dream. For 5 dollars a cone, it better be like taking drags on silk!
Expect to cough! Terpenes are aromatic compounds which can invoke coughing. Theoretically, coughing pushes more THC into your lungs, stretching your product further. Anecdotally, I found that I was getting high quicker with this cone.
Who is this for and why?
For those you don’t like the flimsy feel of some cheap paperware and want to stretch some loud weed, this is probably worth a try. Not to mention, this product is tobacco-free, ensuring that you aren’t getting much more in your lungs other than the infusions in this cone and your trusty product! Something about this product feels classy, so definitely this one is for sharing.
Additionally, there is still some novelty on the Mike Tyson collaboration, making this the George Foreman grill of the marijuana world! Imagine rotating this bad-boy around while its still a new product!
In short, this is for people who have a propensity for sourcing the good shit, and those who want to take their blunts to the next level.
Overview
All-in-all, the cones come at a higher price point than your three-pack of RAWs, so think carefully about what you want to fill this with. Either way, its terpene infusion comes with a nice flavoring with a sharp cough to push your high further for less drags.
