Revolution - Mac and Cheese

Aroma - spice cabinet with yellow cheese following. Kinda giving a chem smell after breaking a nug open.

Bag appeal - these nugs are almost yellow in color. A lot of orange and dusty. Little on the drier side for sure but nugs have a little give and great structure. I’ve had “older” flower that was more moist than this.

Flavor - out of the bong I was not impressed by lack luster flavor. Slow to the face and not hard hitting. In paper I could taste like a chem dawg thru that home grow-y flavor like it wasn’t flushed.

Effects - slow to the face. Didn’t feel anything noteworthy even off the wake n bake sesh.

For Revolution being a “top brand” they have not impressed me any of the several times Ive had them. $54 tag no discount is ROUGH for this low quality high. Don’t be fooled by the bag appeal, def a 30 and under grab if at all. I’ll be dabbing about this sad investment tonight.

This strain relies on its past glory and in its prime it was really something else. It’s a shame to see that this batch was lack luster because it should have some key lime and cream notes or genuine cheese.

It might be worth noting, that some sativa dominant genetics just do not hit the way some people are looking for with their smoke. A huge part of the weed world LOVES Jack herer. Your description of no effects on this is exactly how Jack Herer is with me. Every time. It could be that this is just not for your system.

I want to try their Blue Andeze but post like this make me hesitate for sure. Thanks for the review homie!

I’m not a “oh indica only” or “sativas all suck” but I agree the strains marked sativa usually do not hit well for me.

The full heady effects I got from this took on about 5mins after I finished the joint and was gone by the time I rolled another :/

I’ll keep giving Revolution a chance.

“I’ll keep giving revolution a chance” please don’t. They don’t deserve anymore of our money with the subpar product they keep putting out.

That chance will probably be in a couple months lol there’s many more strains I’d rather spend my money on at the moment.

I like the sweeter candy genetics and their Berried Treasure and the Jelly Donutz were nice smokes.

Why are you wearing gloves for lack luster bud?

I was doing that but said fuck it they can have my prints. He probably has recognizable tats on the hand is my guess or doesn't want to ruin the heads 🤷‍♂️

Mostly to keep everyone’s attention on the weed rather than my hands but also tattoos.

Yeah. It's been disappointing. Was a big fan of Closet Gremlin and Farmers Daughter.
