When I review cannabis, I tend to do so early in the morning, so that I will have a fresh palate. I want to taste only the cannabis I’m sampling for the review, and experience a high unaffected by the lingering flavors and feelings of other varieties I might have already tried that day. I usually get up, wash my face, and rinse my mouth out with water (but no brushing my teeth- I want to taste the weed, not minty toothpaste), and have a big whiff of some coffee beans to cleanse my nasal palate. With Kali Kraves’ Platinum Cookies, the early morning wake-and-bake may not have been the wisest decision, but it isn’t one I regretted as I settled in to enjoy the thick, relaxing, smiley stone of this powerful indica strain.
I should have known what I was getting myself into right away. After just a single puff, I was immediately struck by Platinum Cookies’ strong flavor and immediate onset. The terpenes in this flower shine, lending the bud a deliciously powerful smell and taste. Other reviewers have picked up notes of pine and fuel, thanks to the presence of the terpenes caryophyllene and myrcene. Some have also detected fruity notes in this strain, but I found this crop to have a more spiced, peppery fragrance.
These cookies taste as good as they smell. I sometimes have trouble detecting cannabis flavors on the tongue, but Kali Krave’s growers have produced a bud that offers a savory-sweet richness that is impossible to miss.
It isn’t just the terpenes that shine here. The buds themselves shine just as brightly. Holding the perfectly manicured nugs up to the lamp reveals a thick coating of glistening silver trichomes. “Platinum” cookies, indeed.
After just two or three hits of my Platinum Cookies joint, I did something I don’t do very often: I put it down in the ashtray to come back to later. I am an experienced cannabis user, with a formidable tolerance built up by years of daily smoking. Nevertheless, Platinum Cookies provided me with a “hit it and quit it” experience. It did not take very much at all to leave me in a serene, smiling puddle with a grin from ear to ear as I listened to a hot set of Billy Strings bluegrass.
As much as I enjoyed my three tokes of Platinum Cookies, I’ll be setting this one aside until bedtime, when I can let myself be carried off to outer space, and from there onward to dreamland. 🪐💤
