Goji OG

Available at The Healing House in Denver.

Remember when goji berries were going to save us all as the next big health craze? Next time, pick something that doesn’t taste like a depressed cranberry. We’d prefer Goji OG every time, a 50/50 hybrid comprised of Nepali OG and Snow Lotus. Coming to us from Denver’s Healing House, it is hard not to look at the shelf and be dazzled by the insane frostiness on display. With a backdrop of forest green, we loved the mature heads on the trichomes that were the perfect amount of amber. On the first hit, we couldn’t help but notice great dark cherry and cola flavors, almost like a Dr. Pepper that you can smoke. Ideal for an active fall day, the effects settle in your forehead and push you around, providing energy that lasted for several hours. Several testers felt like going for a jog to get it out of their system, only to come back more hyped than ever. While this has a hybrid designation, Goji OG makes a great wake-and-bake strain, too, with the minor crash at the end barely perceptible.
