Soultanic - Pure Red Vein, PMD, Dark Green Pinot, Dark Elephant
Posted: Fri Apr 12, 2024 10:18 am
A friend recommended Soul, saying that he has some of the best slower leaf out there. After a few emails back and forth, he sent me some recommendations:
Pure Red Vein, PMD, Dark Green Pinot, Dark Elephant
I started with the Dark Green Pinot (the name sounded cool) - this is a very comfortable green; just the speed that I like - a slower mid. This has a really interesting 'heady' feel to it. A nice mood calming, and at the same time, mood elevating vibe.
Next the Pure Red Vein - this was in a nice, fresh CLUMP. Like the DGP, it definitely gives a substantial mood lift, but has the added benefit of a pronounced relaxing effect. I can literally feel a slow ebb of relief start and my feet and roll upwards; like getting in a hot tub (if you let out a sigh of relief, take note if you are standing around other people)
The PMD - This didn't hit well for me at first, not bad; just nothing pronounced. However, I found that I was taking a little too much, after dialing back my dose a bit, this seemed to hit WAY harder. It has almost as much tension relief as the PRV, but has a great motivated calm that comes with it.
Now this Dark Elephant - this is one of some of the heaviest and fuzziest leaf that I have had in awhile. I took this with a cup of coffee and still found myself dozing off. I found that mixing this with the PMD kept me more alert, while giving me a great mood life (a 'everything is fine, this is fine' sort of feeling).
This was a fun experiment! Sometimes it can be a challenge to find that balance of relaxing calm, but not being put to bed - this definitely fits the bill for that. Not to mention that Barry was very helpful, answered any questions that I had and made some excellent recommendations.
What began as a 'well, this is good kratom, but didn't hit well for me' became a 'this is one of the best greens that I have had' once I dropped my dose back.
