Description: I recently discovered that Berner’s Cookies on Haight was having a happy hour deal going on all month for some of their top shelf eighths, so naturally I had to take advantage. I slid through on my day off to cop something that would turn my mundane chore day into more of a fun chore day.
Sauntering in the store, I immediately connect with a budtender, we exchange pleasantries about the rigors of completing humdrum tasks and needing the perfect herbal complement to a can-do attitude. The budtender (I forgot to ask his name) without hesitation recommends “The Soap.” As he searched to find all the words to completely describe the cultivar, he happened to say something that caught my attention. He said, in the most stereotypical stoner tone, “ It is just a really cool, weird-ass plant man.” I appreciated his honesty wholeheartedly and copped of course. He did caution that it was really strong.
The buds are sugar-frosted nuggets with light green and bright orange hairs. No lie, The Soap smelled clean, It had a soft floral scent with a hint of musky weed aroma. The clouds were dense and cool with an almost minty aftertaste. A very clean smoke. I would argue that they named this “The Soap” because of how the mouth feels on the exhale. If you’ve ever had an experience where soap may have gotten into your mouth then you know how your mouth feels after attempting to rinse it out. (However, BCP (beta-caryophyllene) is known to have anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal properties so that could also be why it’s named “The Soap.”) It was pleasant, not overwhelming. It was what the budtender said it was, strong.
By strong I mean, A few puffs in, and cerebral effects were activated. Instantaneous euphoria and focus followed by immediate motivation. My body was just down to ride, no tension, no stress, no pressure. I knocked out every task that I had listed that day and then some. I even went on a hike. The Soap I’d recommend for any time you are trying to do shit in a highly elevated state of mind without any type of couch lock or sluggishness. I encourage my novice stoners to Err on the side of caution, crawl before you walk, take a few hits and sit it down. Then brush yourself off and try again because it is, Strong.
