How to grow Opium
Seb's take
An unknown cross that nonetheless walked off with a High Times Cannabis Cup, which says something for anonymity. Nutty, herbal and sweet on the nose with a skunk edge; the high is relaxed, euphoric, focused and happy, with a dry mouth as the toll. She asks for extra attention over her nine weeks, and is worth it.
