Visually, the bud I got my hands on for this wasn’t as purple as anticipated by the description. The buds looked dark and evergreen to me, they were coated with crystals and orange pistils. The bud's claims of golf ball sizes seem to be on point.
I found mine to be a little dry, but that’s fixable. The funky smell was light but notable when grinding it up.
I didn’t notice anything special about the smoke, but the high was heavy with an 'okay' smoke. It would be great weed for chilling by a bonfire or watching a movie with that silly little grin on your face.
Ultimately, I’ve come to have big expectations from Carmel, so when the weed feels kind of average, I have a hard time getting past the craft label but thankfully the high still delivers.
