Ethos Glue Strain Review (Laurentian Organic)

I tried out some Ethos Glue that’s made by Laurentian Organic out of the Laurentians in Quebec. This is an indica-dominant strain sold as an Ethos Genetics cultivar.

Ethos Glue is known as a strong strain, though this batch came in at the lower end of the THC range for this type of flower, with very little CBD. After trying out Laurentian Organic’s Tremblant Kush, I was expecting something good, and this LP did not disappoint!

Below I break down every aspect of this gassy cultivar in detail.

• Lineage: Not confirmed on the breeder's official site
• Type: Indica-dominant
• Potency: High THC, low CBD; exact numbers vary by grower and batch, so check your package's lab label
• Terpene Profile: Caryophyllene, myrcene and limonene were listed for this batch; profiles vary by grower and batch
• Packaging Details: Packaged on 10/18/2020 and tested/reviewed on 12/19/2020, exactly 62 days later. Lot ALO20D0003
• Pricing Details: Purchased 3.5 grams for $32.20 at the SQDC in Montreal, Quebec, Canada ($9.20/gram) at the time of review

Appearance: 3/5

I like Laurentian Organic's packaging because it keeps the buds snug. There isn’t much room for the flower to move around, so the trichomes stay intact, the terps stay strong, and the weed doesn’t dry out fast.

A humidity pack in the container helps keep moisture steady for a while, which is exactly what we’re looking for.

The buds have a spongy texture and aren’t the densest. There were eight buds in total, seven medium ones and a small one. The package was also underweight at 3.4 grams.

I’m not going to cause a hissy fit over 0.1 grams, especially when Pink Kush by Laurentian Organic was overweight, but it does lose some points!

The buds are olive green with some darker leaves, a few beige pistils, and a heavy coat of trichomes. The nugs feel a little loose, but this is still good-looking weed, see below.

Aroma: 4/5

When I opened the freshly sealed container, the aroma was loud and aggressive, the kind of smell that would interrupt a conversation. It’s as if a pine tree rolled around in a puddle of diesel mixed with juice from a citrusy fruit salad.

Flavor: 3.5/5

It’s surprising not to see pinene among the listed terpenes, since there’s so much pine in the aroma and flavor. Diesel notes accented every puff, with gas left on the palate on the exhale.

It was all a little more muted than the aroma but still very enjoyable.

Effects: 3.5/5

Like Laurentian Organic’s Tremblant Kush, the effects hit both body and mind, and they’re strong and quick. After the first heavy wave slows you down, the feeling moves into euphoria, which balances the experience.

The whole experience lasted about 90 minutes (with the first 30 being the peak), and I felt quite lethargic afterward.

Overall: 3.5/5

Ethos Glue

In my books, Laurentian Organic is two for two right now. They did a solid job with this Ethos Glue strain just as much as they did with their Tremblant Kush.

This organic craft cannabis company is building a solid reputation; I hope they keep up this standard. If you’ve tried some Ethos Glue, let me know what you think of it in the comments below.

Cannabis is for adults 21+ where it is legal. Under US federal law, marijuana outside FDA-approved drugs and state medical marijuana licenses is still a Schedule I controlled substance. State and national laws differ, so check yours.
