Pink Gorilla - Top Shelf Bud Review

     Pink Gorilla

    Today we’re checking out Pink Gorilla, an indica-leaning live resin sourced from Top Shelf Bud Dispensary. Coming in at just $30 a gram, this concentrate brings serious value for anyone looking for deep relaxation without breaking the bank. A crumble-textured extract, Pink Gorilla immediately makes an impression with its funky, gas-heavy aroma — think sweaty gym socks and high-octane fuel, in the best way. At first glance and first smell, this strain makes it clear it’s here to hit hard. As always, we’ll break it down into Taste & Smell, Effects & Terpenes, and Bag Appeal & Value.




    Taste & Smell

    Cracking open the jar, you're hit with that distinct old-school gas funk — a mix of diesel fuel and a sweaty gym sock funk that’s oddly inviting. It’s raw and loud, exactly what you'd want from a heavy indica strain. The flavor translates beautifully into the dab: gas-forward, smooth, and rich, with no harshness at the temperature tested (520°F on a Puffco-style e-rig). It melts clean, and the vapor has a refined, earthy undertone beneath the loud top notes.


    Effects & Terpenes

    Pink Gorilla doesn’t waste time. The effects hit quickly, starting behind the eyes with a creeping euphoria and gradually settling into a lethargic, body-heavy calm. While the specific terpene percentages weren’t listed, the flavor profile and effects suggest a dominant presence of myrcene and caryophyllene, known for their sedating and anti-inflammatory properties. This one’s ideal for winding down in the evening, managing pain or anxiety, or simply zoning out with a movie or mellow game session.


    Bag Appeal & Value

    From a visual and handling standpoint, this crumble is nicely formed, with a clean amber color and an easy-to-scoop texture that doesn’t dry out too quickly. It vapes well and leaves behind a clean melt, which is more than welcome at this price point. At $30 a gram, this is a solid pickup — especially for fans of heavy indicas or anyone looking to explore concentrates without splurging on top-shelf rosin. The presentation, potency, and price all align to make this one of the more impressive value concentrates available right now.


    Numeric Review


    Cosmetic: 8.0/10
    The crumble texture is clean and easy to work with, and the amber color is appealing. It’s not the flashiest concentrate visually, but it’s definitely solid for the price point.


    Flavor/Smell: 9.1/10
    This is where Pink Gorilla shines. The gassy funk is loud and authentic, and the taste carries through smoothly when dabbed — no harshness, just straight diesel with a slightly earthy finish.


    Effects: 8.6/10
    Quick onset with a relaxing, euphoric body high that doesn’t leave you totally couch-locked. Great for chilling out without zoning out too hard. A solid evening strain.

Overall Score: 8.6/10

Farm To Med Review: "Blueberries"

Image
    Blueberries! Imagine breaking open a beautiful round nug while being met with a medley of subtle fruit smells and light gassy notes. This offering from Farm To Med is a bag appeal monster with noticeably well developed trichomes! Its large nug structure and varying shades of green with orange hairs made Blueberries a must try for me. It's a huge added bonus that this flower is not shipped in but is instead grown fresh here in Tennessee! This strain advertises as a hybrid 50/50 yet I personally feel that it leans more towards the indica side.      My first impression of this strain was how well developed the trichomes are, even with the naked eye you can see hundreds of fully bulbed trich's covering the nugs from tip to stem. I also noticed in my review that the smell on this strain is very unique, offering a fruity/sweet scent that is distinctive to a handful of fruity strains I have tested, something to try for sure. This cut of blueberries was a dry brittl...

Snapdragon Review - Dark Matter

Image
       Dark Matter      This strain is quickly rocketing to the top of my favorites list. Dark Matter , from Snapdragon Hemp , is a unique cross between Cherry Thunderfuck and Rusty Haze —two distinct genetics that come together beautifully in this cut.      A hybrid that leans indica, Dark Matter owes much of its relaxing effect to a heavy dose of myrcene —a terpene often linked to that classic “couch-lock” sensation.      Crack open the jar, stir a bit, and you're greeted with an out-of-this-world nose: sharp, gassy cherries that hit you right away. It’s a wild and wonderful terpene combo that sets the tone before you even reach for your torch.     Myrcene!           What really sets Dark Matter apart is its terpene profile—especially its high myrcene content . Myrcene is one of the most common terpenes found in cannabis and is known for its musky, earthy aroma and deeply...

SnapDragon Review - Rainbow Runtz

Image
      Rainbow Runtz                Rainbow Runtz is a hybrid strain that brings together two heavy hitters: Dosi Dos and Zkittlez . Picked up from Snapdragon Hemp , this resin immediately stands out with its golden, slightly crumbly texture that’s easy to work with and very appealing.      Terpene-wise, this strain leans into a calming profile rich in myrcene , limonene , and caryophyllene —a trio known for their relaxing, mood-lifting, and slightly spicy effects. The nose and flavor both lean closer to the Dosi Dos side of its lineage, with an  earthy aroma and a doughy taste  that lingers on the exhale.      Terps & Texture    With a mix of  myrcene , limonene , and a touch of caryophyllene , this blend brings on a deeply relaxing and mellow experience. The myrcene comes through loudest for me—ushering in that classic body calm, almost like a weighted blanket o...
