Hello again to all my cannabis loving and canna-curious friends, and welcome back to another episode of The First 90 Minutes! Today we will be toking and talking about a strain, which Leafly.com recommends for those seeking relief from cramps, depression, headaches, nausea, and pain, Chuck OG. This will be an extra special edition because I will be doing the review initially on the flower product, and then I will give you my thoughts on how it compares to the Chuck OG Terp Sauce cartridge by Sira Naturals. Ok, so this 50/50 Sativa/Indica hybrid strain is said to leave patients feeling uplifted, creative, relaxed, giggly, sedated, and hungry. I was unable to find a potential negatives list related to this strain, however, it’s parent strains Taho OG and Afghani Heirloom are said to cause potential dry mouth, dry eye, dizziness, headache, anxiety, and paranoia. Today I chose this strain to deal with a severe migraine headache that is also causing me severe nausea. My hope is that this will decrease the migraine to a point where I can at least function, and cut the nausea to where I can hold down food. I am having a lot of anxiety and experiencing a lot of stress because of the migraine discomfort, which has me feeling very physically and mentally tense. So fingers crossed, let’s jump right in to seeing what this bud can do! Now it’s time to light up, sit back, and relax, as we toke and talk about the first 90 minutes!

Diving right into the smell test, there is a definite a strong earthy aroma, followed by slightly piney scent emitted from this bud. I have read reviews that have said there is a grassy scent, I can see how this particular combination of the pine and earth could be perceived as such. Upon taking that taste test, I again taste a strong earthiness, but this is accompanied by a tartness followed by the pine undertones. For this session, I will be medicating via 4 hits from a joint. I am starting this session at 12:24 p.m., with 4 hits because I have used this strain before for this purpose. For my needs, 4 hits was what I needed. Starting out, I always recommend 1 to 2 hits. This flower is pretty smooth, and I am feeling an almost immediate and very subtle tingling sensation throughout my temples. Other than that, no other noticeable effects as of yet. At 12:34 p.m., my migraine is starting to subside slightly. I have extreme left ear pain with my mingraine and I am feeling a slight bit of relief from this as well. Throughout my body, each muscle is gradually relaxing more and more, and the tension is melting away. I feel like there are waves vibrating their way down into the core of my muscles. With the decrease in the migraine, the nausea has also started to decrease, allowing me to rest a little easier. I do not feel functional, but at this point I do feel that I am able to at least lay a little more comfortably while waiting for the effects of this session to intensify.

At 12:54 p.m., the migraine and head pressure have eased pretty significantly. I am still not at a functional point, but I am almost to a point where I would be able to get out of bed. I am experiencing some light sensitivity, but it has lessened. The nausea has almost completely subsided. As of right now my focus is not great, but it is difficult to tell whether this is strain-related, or migraine-relief related. My mood has improved, I feel calm and relaxed. My body is continuing to experience the rippling waves of relaxation. Each muscle feels loose, and my body has an almost “numb” feeling to it, and I feel as though most of the stress and tension have been released from my body. At 1:24 p.m., my migraine is almost completely gone. I am finding that despite a slight cerebral buzz, I am able to focus pretty well right now, compared to how I was earlier. I can actually carry on a conversation, or be in a room with noise and not feel like my head is going to explode. I have finally been able to get myself out of bed and downstairs to hangout in the livingroom, which did not seem like was going to happen. I am not experiencing any anxiety, and I feel very relaxed and happy. My nausea has subsided, and my appetite has returned, allowing me to eat something for the first time today. Although the relaxation “wave” sensation felt in the body seems to have stopped, my body feels relaxed and loose, very similar to how you would feel after a massage or chilling in a hot tub. Rounding into our 90 minute mark at 1:54 p.m., the effects are definitely mellowing into a more mellow and clear high. My body feels unbelievably relaxed and mellow, and my migraine and nausea have completely subsided. My mood is happy and calm, and despite feeling as though I can maintain conversation, I also am completely cool to just hang out and enjoy the quiet. I have not experienced any negatives on this strain at all. I feel very focused, and projects such as writing, or involving other creative ideas are on level with the mindset I am at with the effects at this point, but I could also see myself easily melting into the couch and letting my mind drift away for a while right now.

Now, before I jump into my final thoughts, I want to jump into a quick comparison of my experience with the flower to that with the Chuck OG Terp Sauce vape cartridge by Sira Naturals. So, how did the Terp Sauce cartridge compare to the flower? Well, it was pretty comparable as far as the timeline goes. The main difference I saw was a higher intensity in the effects of the cartridge versus the flower. I only needed two hits of the Terp Sauce versus four hits of the flower to meet my needs. Although I do love the flower version of Chuck OG, I have to say that the Terp Sauce cartridge is my favorite form of this strain. It is easily concealed and discreet, the aroma can only be noticed when vaping it and it disappears quickly. The flavor is on point with the flower, and all I need is to screw it into a battery and go.

On an overall level, this strain is absolutely amazing. It left me feeling stress and anxiety free, it provided me with an immense sense of relaxation, it boosted my appetite, resolved my nausea, and significantly helped with my migraine. Although I did not experience the creative mindset or giggles on this strain during this medication session, I did not feel that this was necessarily due to the effect not being present. I personally felt that the migraine and nausea symptoms were just too intense for those qualities of Chuck OG to come out at the time. In order to be sure, I decided to test this theory on a day where I felt better, with no migraine symptoms or nausea.

Upon testing this strain under these circumstances, I did find that I felt happy and upbeat and I found myself with a definite case of the giggles. I also found myself with a major creative buzz that left me working on my creative projects for hours. I have really found Chuck OG to be a five star strain with its ability to not only help me relieve my ailments, but to also kick back and enjoy on a day where I am hanging out with friends or working on something that requires a creativity boost. Sira, both the Chuck OG flower and the Terp Sauce cartridge are amazing, and I am really glad that you offer the flower and vape options for this strain for patients like me who may be looking for flower for evenings, but vape for busier times during the day when there may not be time to stop to roll a joint or pack a bowl. Again, I give both of these products 5 stars! Great job Sira, keep up the amazing work!
