BC Sweet Skunk Strain Review (Pure Laine Cannabis)
Contents
For this cannabis review, I tried out some BC Sweet Skunk produced by Rose Science Vie under the Pure Laine Cannabis brand. The thing about Skunk strains is that many of us consumers from the 90s have this familiarity with them, until of course it looks/smells nothing like the good old Skunk weed we all used to smoke, then it becomes an issue.
This Sativa-dominant hybrid lot was high in THC with an insignificant amount of CBD. THC and terpene levels vary by grower and batch, so check the label on the lot you buy.
Note: This review covers a legal product bought at the SQDC, the only authorized cannabis retailer in Québec, where no one under 21 may possess cannabis. In the US, marijuana remains federally illegal outside a state medical license or an FDA-approved drug, and state laws differ.
Below is an in-depth BC Sweet Skunk review.
- Type: Sativa-dominant hybrid
- Potency: High THC, low CBD (varies by batch)

Appearance: 1.5/5
BC Sweet Skunk (Pure Laine Cannabis)
The Boveda humidity pouch in the Pure Laine Cannabis bag kept the moisture right at 61%, but there were too many other negatives for good bag appeal.
Way too many stems and leaves for my liking; the trimming job was very bad on this. Size-wise, the bag had four medium-sized nugs; everything else was too small, not enough “eye candy” for me. The buds were of a dark green shade with a minimal amount of purple on them; trichome glands weren’t very intact.
Aroma: 1.5/5
BC Sweet Skunk (Pure Laine Cannabis)
I wanted skunky, kushy, and gassy, but what I got was….herbal. I really didn’t get much in the aroma, and there were slight kushy notes that became more apparent after the weed was milled, but far from what it should be. The terps seem to be quiet on this BC Sweet Skunk.
Flavor: 1.5/5
The terpene profile didn’t emit anything out of the ordinary through combustion; in simpler words, I didn’t get much flavor. The skunkiness was missing once more, and I got some slightly herbal notes on the inhale, with some kushy notes dangling on the palate on the exhale that were barely noticeable.
The smoke wasn’t the smoothest that I’ve tried.
Effects: 3/5
BC Sweet Skunk (Pure Laine Cannabis)
When it comes to effects, the weed did its job. Initially, I felt my body decompress, and my brain started to feel fuzzy about ten minutes in. Within 30 minutes, it went from a cerebral feeling to a visceral vibe that got my entire body feeling relaxed but not necessarily lazy.
I got Sativa and Indica vibes at the same time from this strain. After about 45 minutes, the lethargy started, and I went into “sleepy” territory, no matter what time of day I smoked it.
Don't drive after using cannabis; NIDA notes it is the drug most often found in the blood of drivers involved in crashes.
Overall: 2/5
BC Sweet Skunk (Pure Laine Cannabis)
This whole experience was below average for me, and this wasn’t the best first impression that I got from the Pure Laine Cannabis brand. I hadn't seen many Skunk strains in the legal market, so I was excited to try this, especially at such a low price.
I wouldn’t really recommend this to anyone, but personally, I will give this company another try. I would recommend you check Raider Kush Strain and MK Ultra Strain instead of this. Let me know what you thought of this BC Sweet Skunk below if you’ve tried it before.
Alternatives
- Raider Kush Strain: Raider Kush is a strain that offers similar relaxation effects but with a stronger flavor profile, including skunky and kushy notes that BC Sweet Skunk lacks.
- MK Ultra Strain: MK Ultra is another option that provides a potent and sedating experience. It may be more suitable if you’re looking for a strain that leans towards the indica side, offering deep relaxation and potential sleepiness.
