Animated

It's a new strain for me, but the experience isn't entirely unique. Animated is pure, textbook Sativa.

If nothing else, Animated is also an exhibit against judging cannabis on smell or appearance alone. These big ugly nuggets taste and look like rotting Christmas trees. Still, the mind high more than makes up for any aesthetic weaknesses.

Many cannabis users of course enjoy their tasty looking, fruity smelling buds -- or perhaps a skunky hydroponic Kush -- so Animated's thin scent of decomposing evergreens may disappoint. Neither the dark, uniform green color, nor the gnarly brown hairs inspire much.

These aesthetics are typical signs that the cannabis was grown outdoors. Though not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, outdoor cultivation usually produces cannabis that tastes or smells similar to what it was grown around, what was in the soil the plants grew up through (on that note, I also sense a sour hint of tomato vine). As such, outdoor grows likely won't bring the cannabis to the "true potential" that can be realized in more controlled environments. If grown in a controlled setting, you could get a nice, musty grapefruit scent and a very hairy bud out of Animated. Who knows what else the high may hold for you.

In all, Animated was enjoyable. It was built for the mind high aficionado, and if you can find a good indoor version, it will do you well.

It's a decent bud for the cyclist, biker, skater, alpine athlete, flying tomato, or any other type of active person in that, once you get up, its hard to mentally sit down again for an hour or two. Beginners or skittish types should probably stay away from Animated.

Helpful hint: the more experienced or curious person might try combining Animated with their favorite body stone, a Kush or something like that. I packed it with AK-47, and a choir of angels sang for me.
