Absolute fire, but with some drawbacks. Maven is a damn good brand of weed, with award-winning strains and a presence in the community, and they can be found in many dispensaries across San Diego. This Umami Butter will get you absolutely fried, but the smoke isn’t the most pleasant. The buds are crispy, the smoke is dry, and the taste is weak. It’s not for the weak hearted smoker, the one who coughs up a lung then passes out from being so high. This Umami will scratch your throat, but the results will leave you very happy. A strong head and body high, mostly in the head but still very sedating on the body. This is that couch-melter, the chin-checker, that knockout strain. Easily one of my favorite highs in recent memory, one I can count on because it will knock you out.
It’s a classic high, too. A throwback to young adulthood many moons ago. It reminds me of some of my earliest highs in middle/high school. It must be those OG Kush phenos in this Umami, as Maven has their own cuts of OG in this strain, like XXX OG. I’m mostly critical about the smell and taste of this weed. The dry but somewhat sticky buds can be overlooked (to an extent), but the pepper-y smell and taste are a total turn-off for me. The harsh smoke kills it for me, too. Just not a fun experience smoking this, but it does get you toasted. Strong effects that will justify the $40+ for the eighth at any given retailer.
All in all, a fun high. Smoking it may not be, but the high is potent and lasts a few hours. The perfect strain for those who have trouble sleeping, those with anxiety, injured folks, and even those with depression. It’s a great mood lifter that chills you out. What more could you ask for out of weed? I compare this to the Terpz and Caicos by B Eazy and the Grand Master by CBX that I recently reviewed; pretty weed with strong effects. The pictures I took for this review are all one nug—that’s the entire eighth on one stem. Crazy, space-looking weed that’ll get you shitfaced. Love it, nice one Maven.
