LA Confidential Strain Review (Aurora)

For this cannabis strain review, I tried out some LA Confidential made by  Aurora. It’s an Indica dominant strain with  18% THC  and an inconsiderable amount of CBD. This was powder dry; the flower should not be packaged for this long, let alone in such a big container with no humidity pouch. This was a fail.

Below is a more detailed rundown of this strain:

• Lineage: OG LA Alfie x Afghani
• Type: Indica-dominant
• Potency: 16-20% THC, 0.3 CBD
• Terpene Profile: Pinene, caryophyllene, myrcene, ocimene
• Packaging Details: Packaged on 06/13/19 and tested/reviewed on 12/22/2019, exactly 192 days after it was packaged.
• Pricing Details: Purchased 3.5 Grams for $26.90 at the SQDC in Montreal, QC. ($7.69/gram)

Appearance: 1.5/5 

The bag appeal was missing here, and I wasn’t too impressed. It’s a mix of light green and dark green shades with orange pistils and a small number of trichomes. The reason why the score is low?

It completely baffles me as to why so many strains are so dry when it’s a freshly sealed bottle! Come on, guys, let’s step it up. Is it so hard to add these pouches to keep the buds nice and fresh?! We’re talking below 40% RH in the container, powder dry.

Aroma: 1/5

Dead terps would be the best way to describe the aroma. There can’t be much of anything coming out of the container if the weed is that dry; it’s not really possible. It did smell like weed, so there’s that. Try Lilac Diesel Strain and Dancehall Strain if you want a better aroma.

Flavor: 1.5/5

I guess there were very subtle notes of citrus left on the palate on the exhale, but they were minimal; there wasn’t much going on here. On top of that, the coughing was pretty aggressive after each puff.

Effects: 3/5

This was my favorite (and the only “above-average”) aspect from this entire LA Confidential strain review, although the standards are pretty low at this point. Not too lethargic, it was a pretty uplifting feeling overall, body and mind.

Overall: 2/5

If I were to base my recommendation on only this specific experience, I wouldn’t recommend this to anybody. Scratch that; I wouldn’t gift this to anybody; actually, I wouldn’t even want to receive this as a gift. This is no Bueno, a pretty bad job by Aurora. If you’ve tried some out, let me know what you thought of it in the comments below!
