NUG REPORT ~ Fire Purple Bubba

4:20 PM PST on January 7, 2009

Fire Purple Bubba ~ SFV

This is my new favorite nug, and I immediately regretted not getting more once I got these meds back home. Having been a smoker for well over 30 years with quite a tolerance, I took an ice bong rip today that literally made me ask out loud, "Oh my God, am I going to die?" while being the only person in the house. My mind blew up and I thought I was going to black out as a million tiny prickles of pleasure plassed through my body and became paralyzed. I could not believe I made it out of that one with my soul in tact. It was possibly the gnarliest hit of my career. What that must be doing to me I hope to never know. My passion for this bud comes way before smoking it, though. It smells soothing, exotic, and refined, with a very high, perfumey floral scent, with pine and the unmistakeable overriding note of that bubba kush. As usual, my shutter cannot do justice to this hybrid, which is even awesome just to look at. It is nothing but dark green leaves LAYERED in frosty white THC crystals, with occasional orange fur patches similarly iced out. Believe the hype, but please leave me some left.
