Initial Impression

Today’s strain comes to us in a nifty short preroll cone. We can’t see the bud unless I tear it up and I love my joints. At least until the last inch or so. Jilly Bean is a bit of a change up for your writer’s cannabis-based tastes, with a bit more of a Sativa lean instead of the Indica heavy strains I tend to end up with.

Sight and smell

The scent of this strain is pretty amazing though even if I don’t have a nice visual. A bright green minty sort of impression comes wafting from the half sized shortie. Not an overpowering mint like in so many of the popular mint items, but a vaguely sweet and more natural aroma.

Taste

Upon the first draw of this Sativa dominant strain, there are notes of sweet and fruity flavors and a bit of earthiness. As compared to recently reviewed strains, the smoke is a little lighter and smoother. Even a long pull on this rollie doesn’t make my lungs clench in rebuttal.

Subjective Feels

This Sativa dominant strain is good for daytime use as it’s not a super intense body lock type of experience. It’s a gentle cuddle for the mind that allows you to find a place of less stress and focus on your tasks. And when you’re an anxious sort that needs to stay on task to keep the income rolling in – this helps instead of just knocking you on your arse.

My mood has been lightened noticeably and there have even been a few giggles. Now that is something long-time users might miss – those giggle fits from the early days of use. We’ve had a hard time finding strains that bring that sort of natural cue to happiness – so it’s nice to experience it again. This might be a good strain to try to get that feeling back if you’ve similarly been looking for a giggly-strain.

As for appetite stimulation – or getting the munchies.. I’m not really getting any of that here. So, if you’re looking to amp up your appetite to help maintain or gain weight – this might not be the ideal strain.

Overall Thoughts

Jilly Bean is a nice daytime use strain, with mellow effects and a soft-spoken approach that won’t leave you couch-locked. The Sativa dominance helps improve the mood and doesn’t overtake your intentions for the day. Overall, this is a pretty good strain, and I’ll give a counter perk for the giggles – even if it’s not a big munchie friendly cannabis strain as I tend to prefer in battling stress-related anorexia.

Stars

Canna and Kink award this strain 4 out of 5 stars.
