Elephant Bud—from the Metro Detroit Compassion Club in Waterford—is billed as the strongest cannabis in the world, which made me laugh. Until I smoked it. Orange hairs dominate the crisp, airy buds and full trichomes extend from top to bottom. The genetics were unknown, but this was clearly a heavy sativa. For sampling purposes, we used Zig-Zag rolling papers and also a glass pipe. The clean draw is slightly zesty but not unpleasant. Aftertaste is both sweet and sour. Headache relief is immediate but this is an old-school creeper, and the full effect kick in about 20 minutes in. You feel—I’m not kidding—like you’re floating on a cloud. Elephant Bud’s effects are bright and invigorating; creative euphoria relieves nausea as well as muscular, joint and neurological pain. I may not declare Elephant Bud the strongest cannabis in the world, but I admit I would go to great lengths to secure an uninterrupted supply of this focusing, pain-relieving, daytime medicine.
