CBD Shark - Strain Review

in #cannabis6 years ago

Welcome to my Strain Review of CBD Shark.

Also referred to as Shark Shock CBD or CBD Shark Shock, this strain appears to be bred by Dinafem Seeds. From what i gather Dinafem used a specially selected high CBD strain from 'CBD Crew' to pollinate a Shark Shock mother. This created an indica dominant strain that delivers a fairly balanced CBD to THC ratio.

CBD Shark

This strain is from Whistler Medical Marijuana Corporation out of Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. It was priced at $12 per gram plus taxes and shipping.

Two great things about this supplier that I like are one; they claim to be the only truly organic Licensed Producer of Medical Cannabis in Canada as certified by The Fraser Valley Organic Producers Association (FVOPA). Second they provide a well put together cannabinoid and terpene profile of each of the cannabis strains they grow as shown in the picture below. The main downside for me about this LP is that they're more expensive than any other supplier that I have.

As you can see from the above chart we have the THC at 8.9%, CBD coming in a bit above that at 12.8%, CBG at a low 0.65%, CBC even lower at 0.02%, THCV at 0.04% which I honestly know nothing about but am curious now if anyone knows please leave a comment about it and finally Terpenes in at 1.27%.

The buds are firm and dense with a greenish brown coloring. Lots of brown pistols scattered through out and I'm even noticing some light green/beige colored pistols as well around the top of the buds. Trichomes have a dense coverage and it appears they have mostly clear heads.

The color of the buds seem to have a little bit of a brown hue in its green. I've seen this in a few situations, if it's hash plant strain or in the same lineage, cannabis that is aged a bit(this one has a package date of 2 months prior to review which is average aged) and also I've seen a lot of the CBD strains have this green/brown coloring. This makes me wonder if lots of these CBD strains are in someway derived from hash plant or one of its relatives. Although who knows, the green/brown may just be an illusion created by so many brown pistols.

Smell of the container is very earthy with a bit of floral and spice, it's almost identical in smell as CBD Skunk Haze I had from Delta 9 Biotech. The color is very close as well. Once busting commenced the buds give off a sharp sweetness mixed in with the earthy floral spice and finishes off with a sour skunk odor. It's a lot of different scents for the nose palate to pick up on.

The taste off the vape comes out very earthy with maybe a little bit of pine in there and ends with bitter vegetable greens taste.

Effects are calming, great for being at peace in meditation or just kicking back and relaxing with some tunes or a good book. Only a slight psycoactive effect since the CBD is greater than the THC it does a good job at counteracting the high. Even though it's a heavy indica I only got a slight tiredness near the end of its effects which would make this a decent daytime indica for those interested.

Some info i found on the strain:

  • CBD Shark = Shark Shock x Unknown High CBD Strain
  • Indica Dominant Strain (80% Indica x 20% Sativa)
  • THC = 8.9% CBD = 12.86% CBG = 0.65% CBC = 0.02 THCV = 0.04 Terpenes = 1.27%
  • Taste: Earthy, Pine, Skunk
  • Treats: Pain, Inflammation, Stress

I used to buy weed in Whistler when I was a kid on vacation. Used to be a few stoners out in front of the main village liquor store selling good weed to tourists all day 😃

Lol. Maybe that's where Jay and Silent Bob got their start.

DOOD! Finally read one of these reviews, and although I may never need the medical MJ, it was interesting to say the least. My state will be the last to legalize, unless maybe as the latest is that TRUMP will work to get the Federal Law rescinded (it is unconstitutional you know!) then maybe Indiana will go ahead and go Medical, so they do not lose the revenue. We have a decent budget here and even the blue/purple states legalizing it are mostly doing it for the money. Illinois has so now we might have to keep up ;) God Bless your efforts, I believe you are helping people!
I have used straight CBD for a minor back problem and it's darn near a MIRACLE.

Thanks for checking me out @underground. I really hope that these misguided bans on cannabis are lifted around the world soon. Here in Canada we just passed bill C-45 which is the act that will legalize recreational cannabis.
Cannabis is a miracle plant that can replace oil for almost all of its uses. Can replace trees for paper, since cannabis grows way faster it's much more environmentally friendly in that way. You can eat the seeds, flowers and leaves which the seeds are considered a superfood for its nutritional value. And then there is the medical benefits which could wipe out opioid addictions and save countless lives in the process. Not to mention its being used to help cancer patient, Parkinsons, Alzheimers, epilepsy and countless other diseases.

I read that the textile and paper mfg's got together to "demonize" the plant because it threatened their profits. :-(

I appreciate the detailed review of CBD Shark!

It's great to see a strain that provides a balanced ratio of CBD to THC, especially for those who are looking for the therapeutic benefits of CBD without the psychoactive effects of THC. It's also reassuring that the supplier is certified organic and provides a thorough cannabinoid and terpene profile for each strain. However, I understand that the higher price point may be a drawback for some. For those interested in exploring more CBD options, I found a great resource at https://bulkcbddistributors.com/. They offer a wide range of high-quality CBD products at affordable prices.
