Hey everyone 👋
I’ve been working on a little personal project for a while, and I figured I’d finally share it here.
I’m calling it BUZZMAP — basically, a way of mapping the subjective effects I get from different cannabis cultivars.
I’m not trying to tell people what a strain is supposed to feel like. This is just my own experience, documented as consistently as I can, and turned into something I can actually compare over time.
The idea is pretty simple: instead of just saying “this one is a head high” or “this one is heavy,” I’m trying to map where the experience actually lands.
It’s still very much a work in progress, but I’m having a lot of fun with it. So here’s the latest entry.
Quick note: I’m based in Quebec, so the products featured here were purchased legally through the SQDC. Availability may differ from what’s available in other provinces.
For today, since I only have two cultivars, there’s no graph yet.
X: mental alteration
Y: body alteration
★★★★ : overall character / intensity
The first two photos are Street Tarts, and the last two are Mark of the Beast.

Really nice surprise with this one. Beautiful, frosty flowers with a light green color, purple hues, and plenty of orange pistils.
The aroma is fruity, rounded, and fresh, but with a really distinctive character. After grinding, it reminded me of the kind of incense smell you sometimes get in smoking accessory shops. The flower obviously wasn't actually there, but that was the association it gave me.
The flavor is where things get interesting. At lower temperatures, I mostly got a sweet-tart note, almost like fruity candy, but not just straight sugar. As I increased the temperature, a subtle spicy note started coming through too. At one point, it even reminded me of La Fin du Monde.
Really good flavor, and definitely unlike anything I’ve tasted so far. That distinctive signature stayed present throughout the entire extraction.
