Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:03

Somebody who's 20 hours. You're tuning into Giggling Highland. 420 Podcast. With your house. The skipper. And we're back with Gigglin Highland. Today we are reviewing Uptown Ice Cream by Bansy1305.

SPEAKER_01 0:29

Banzi1305, aka Garden Consulting LLC, a company originally from Rhode Island, and it started as a one-man operation. It's a boutique New York cultivator known for its high-end small batch indoor-grown hybrid flour.

SPEAKER_02 0:46

Uptown Ice Cream, hybrid cross between ice cream cookie and frosted chem. Top effects are high, calm, and munchies. Top terps are lemonine, caryophylline, and humolene. Top flavors are vanilla cream, sweet gas, and earthy spice. THC content, according to OnlyBansy, 28.6%. All Bud and Leafly have nothing to say.

SPEAKER_01 1:13

Not only did Leafly and All Bud not have the THC count, they didn't have anything about this strain. We had a lot of trouble finding information for the strain, and a lot of the information was kind of off. So for example, we found in another source that supposedly there's pineapple fruits in this strain. We don't know 100%, but this is what we found. Please, Leaf Leopolp, we need more information on these strains.

SPEAKER_02 1:38

Definitely.

SPEAKER_01 1:38

As far as packaging, it came in a 3.5 glass jar, which usually retails anywhere between 45 and $60. We got this jar at our friends at Zen Zest in Glen Oaks, Queens, which is right off Nassau. Visit them if you can and you're in the neighborhood, y'all. Are we ready for the roll, Skip? We're ready. Let's do it. And we're back with the roll. So, Skip, how did it break?

SPEAKER_02 2:07

Quite a conundrum here. Broke big. And it was enough for the show, which is one whole blunt and a pretty thick joint here, which is pretty good. But there's barely left for another round. That's right.

SPEAKER_01 2:18

And you know, I've always it's been my experience that uh when you get something with one giant nug in it, it usually yields a lot smaller than normal. So something to think about. Uh, as far as the look, it had mustards, olive greens, and brown hairs. Very fragrant, earthy, diesel, and spicy. The skip also smelled a little sweet, but I didn't. Yeah. Can definitely see tricomes. Like I said earlier, one giant nug with smaller supporting nugs that were very supple to the touch, and they were sticky too. Yeah, very sticky. Ready for the smoke, Skip? Ready. Let's do it. Let's do it.

SPEAKER_02 3:07

Right away, I get a strong pine note. It opened up right away.

SPEAKER_01 3:12

I concur. I'm also getting the pine note. I am not getting the vanilla, getting a little bit of a the diesel, also. I could even argue a tiny bit of pungent.

SPEAKER_02 3:22

Yeah. A little bit of what tasted like gelato, but different. It was like a gelato beginning and a very smooth finish.

SPEAKER_01 3:39

It's funny how the top turps, none of them is pinene. Right. But it has that like pining flavor. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:46

Yeah, that is ironic. And I don't know what bands he does in their growth, but initially it's a coughing fit. And then after that, it's like the cost of it of initiation. It's smooth after that.

SPEAKER_01 4:01

That's a good way to put it, Skip. For me, the date, the diesel is kind of becoming a little more prominent. Yeah, I feel it too. Still no vanilla, which is the first flavor, but I'm not getting it. I'm not getting it. I even I even pulled before lighting to see, like, no, I didn't get it either.

SPEAKER_02 4:24

It's like it's giving me gelato vibes, but with something else. Like the gelato vibes is like dancing around, but it's something in the middle I can't.

SPEAKER_01 4:35

Funny, I'm not getting that. I'm not getting the gelato. I'm getting like a piney kind of thing.

SPEAKER_02 4:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:41

I'm getting pining diesel kind of thing. Like, you know, like an earthy pine diesel. I got that. And a little pungent.

SPEAKER_02 4:49

Especially in the back of the mouth. There, the diesel's there. Definitely. And the pungent.

SPEAKER_01 4:54

Yes. But no vanilla, which is supposed to be the dominant flavor. So I'm approaching a third, and I can definitely say I'm not high yet, but I can feel like my spidey sense is tingling. Very like, I already can feel you know the cannabis sensors are uh are up and they're there's feeling something in the atmosphere. So let's see where it goes.

SPEAKER_02 5:27

You know Banshee 1305, if you know, for those that know, or have tried any, or more than one varietal, because if you just tried one, it'll be hard to tell, but they have this thing, smooth smoke after a while. Like I don't know what they do in there. And uh it's uh it seems to me like a gelato, but at 28%, it's obviously stronger than your average gelato. Because I don't know off the top of my head, but I do know that gelato is not a very high THC varietal, it's always in the mid to low 20.

SPEAKER_01 6:02

Wow, I'm trying really hard to get that, and I'm not getting that.

SPEAKER_02 6:06

But here is like like they amped it up and they amped up the high because I feel it. And they they turn down the the sweetness somewhat of the really like gelato.

SPEAKER_01 6:19

Am I not getting that? I'm not getting that. Wow. I'm like looking for that. I'm just I'm just getting that earthy diesel pungent. That's all I'm getting. Like it's like kind of the combo, yeah, but that's it. I'm not getting that the gelato hint.

SPEAKER_02 6:36

And then we throw in Humiline, which is also also another not often seen turp. Even though I have to say, Skip, I'm seeing it more and more nowadays. Now, yes, but going back maybe two years or so of dispensary, you know, virtually non-existent.

SPEAKER_01 6:53

No, so I'm at the halfway mark. Um, and I can definitely say that I feel a high coming in. Uh it's not a very strong high, right? But it's a I will say it's a persistent high. Like you could see that there's a high there. Yeah, an intentional high. Right. And it's I could feel it at the back of my eyes, uh, you know, front frontal lobe of the brain. So yeah, I'm just now it's just about finding out where it's gonna go. Yeah, exactly. That's how it feels, but uh spatial, but right.

SPEAKER_02 7:27

I feel the expansiveness. Yeah, I feel it too. The caryophylline is is firing up, right?

SPEAKER_01 7:32

And the I was just about to say that. In the second half, it's like the the pepper of the caryophylline is coming on. Are you getting that too? Yeah, me too.

SPEAKER_02 7:40

It's all pepper now. It's pretty interesting if you think about it.

SPEAKER_01 7:44

What's starting to settle in is like an easy mellow kind of you feeling that? Yeah, like easy like Sunday morning, kind of high, right? Yeah, like relax, but in the head, I don't feel it in the body yet. Right, right. It's not a body thing, so there's no heaviness, yeah. Which kind of goes with one of those hundreds of effects that I saw. One of them was energetic. So I don't feel particularly energetic, but it's true, I'm not feeling any heaviness.

SPEAKER_02 8:15

Interesting how one batch can have all these uh notes and effects. Um I don't know, Bansy uh tunes fine tunes, their uh turp profile, and even something in the smoke that makes it smooth after the beginning.

SPEAKER_01 8:39

I don't know, Skip, I've been choking the whole time.

SPEAKER_02 8:45

Yeah, it must be the medium, the papers and the blunt.

SPEAKER_01 8:50

Or maybe I'm just taking pulls that are too like strong, right?

SPEAKER_02 8:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:54

So I'm down to my last third. The high that I've described earlier is definitely settling in. I feel it around my eyes, feeling the frontal lobe, feeling the back of my head. Um it's a foggy kind of feeling, you know, like a little fogginess. You feel like a little, you know. That last pull I just took there said, hello. Oh, that's a good pull. Wow, that's excellent.

SPEAKER_02 9:23

I feel it. That was strong right there, man. Wow. Hello.

SPEAKER_01 9:29

It's just a really mellow yellow kind of feel. Yeah, laid back type of thing. All right, so let's run it down. Vanilla. Any vanilla? No, no, diesel, yes, earthy, yes, spicy, yeah, yes. Um and then add to that pepper, right? And and uh other things like that, right? We also got a little pungent. Oh yeah, but no vanilla, none uh effects, relaxed, yeah, yeah, yeah. Happy? Yeah, why not? Yeah, okay. Uh um, not particularly unhappy or anything, right? Euphoric? Yeah, you could say that one. Um, energetic. I don't, you see, that's a hard one because I don't feel any body affect.

SPEAKER_02 10:19

Correct.

SPEAKER_01 10:20

So do I construe that as energetic? Right. You get what I mean? Exactly. So, okay. Uh so yeah, so far it's as as advertised. Um, it's not a particularly strong high. So I don't feel like I'm gonna get smacked out of this.

SPEAKER_02 10:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:39

But it feels like it's something that's uh gonna be enjoyable. How do you feel about that, Skip?

SPEAKER_02 10:46

Yeah, and he comes in waves. That last pull there, man, it almost put me over. But funny, I didn't stay there. It was like, you know, when you feel that tipping point and you're like, wow, I'm about and the eyes start going, ooh, you know, the eyelids. It's like that when I exhaled, it kind of took that energy, right? But then it disappeared. I thought I was gonna be there. You know, I already started, you know, hearing the Cypress hill on my head. And then the party shut down. So it's like, what's going on here?

SPEAKER_01 11:16

So he touched the upper atmosphere, but then came right back down. So it was like Neo and Trinity hitting the sky when she got to see the actual sky before they dropped, you know? Yeah, you know, it's it's interesting. I feel the high, it's you're right. It's like in waves. So now I just felt a wave and it I got actually higher. Yeah, which is very interesting. But then it came back down. It was like higher. Wow, yes, I'm starting to feel what you are describing. Towards the end, it really turned into a really pleasant smoke, like really enjoyable pulse. And you know, it's like the high, also, when you start getting into the actual smoke, yeah. And yeah, very pleasant experience so far.

SPEAKER_02 12:02

I you feel, I you feel but let's just start off like coming from I U Two.

SPEAKER_01 12:15

Okay, so I guess I'm hitting my just finished segment, and it has settled into what can only be described as a warm, um, comfortable, nice high, man. Like, seriously, a really nice high. Yeah. I don't think I'm smacked yet, but I don't want to count my chickens because it's like Skip said, it's like the high is gradually increasing in waves.

SPEAKER_02 12:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:41

So I'm holding out hope that I'm gonna get another wave or two and hit smacked level. Um, but as of now, I'm not smacked level, but it's not necessarily a problem. It's actually a nice, comfortable high. So, you know, feel a little foggy, feel good. Um, definitely feel the euphoria and the relaxed. Definitely feel both of those things.

SPEAKER_02 13:03

And rolling into my just finish. Yeah. Yeah, folks, this is high territory here. Um, and uh again, it comes in waves, you know, pull after pull, cough after cough, and you feel like you're getting higher. So for now, yeah, man, this is good stuff. We'll see how it goes one hour later. And we're back with Gigglin' Highland. One hour later. How does it go, pro?

SPEAKER_01 13:43

Well, uh, as the hour went along, it seemed to have gone away from the you know, almost smacked waves and started to settle into like a more kind of mellow, easy high. Um, I did not reach smack level, but it was a nice high. Um as of now, I have kind of more of the more general after high feeling. Uh some body effects in the back. But that's pretty much it. As far as am I still high? No, no, I'm definitely on the come down right now, but it was a pleasant experience. How about you, Skip?

SPEAKER_02 14:20

Definitely, I gotta agree. It's the same thing. Once we were going through the high there, man, I was flying. Great. One hour later, I'm on the come down, definitely, with a lot of remnants of being high, but a cool, nice, calm feeling.

SPEAKER_01 14:35

Right, and it settled into something kind of conversational at the second part, right? Yeah, so it was actually kind of a cool come down, too.

SPEAKER_02 14:43

Definitely.

SPEAKER_01 14:44

I think we're ready for the smack a meter. What do you think? We're ready. All right, let's do it.

SPEAKER_02 14:48

Let's do it.

SPEAKER_00 14:49

Definitely feeling this. This is all right. This is actually all right, and definitely feeling this. This is all right, this is actually all right.

SPEAKER_01 14:57

This smack a meter. How does it go, pro? All right, well, let's close it out. So let's take it from the rundown. So it started, looked very nice, broke pretty big. However, that one big bud meant packaging was very small. Uh, as far as flavors, vanilla, diesel, earthy. We got the diesel, we got the earthy. We even got some pungent and maybe a little sweet, no vanilla. As far as how it looked, it was very pretty, at least that one nug. Uh, and you know, very fragrant, earthy diesel and spicy notes. The smoke was a little bit of a choker, but otherwise pleasant. And it was a good smoke. Pulse smoke. There was uh waves and waves of high ascending highness, and it led to you know, a feeling of almost touching that uh upper atmosphere of smackness, uh, maybe touching it at one point, but definitely coming down very quickly after. And it settled into a nice conversational, uh, you know, easy like Sunday morning high. And then the come down was pretty pleasant and soft. Um, so I'm gonna say it was definitely a pleasant experience. Um, didn't get me smacked, so didn't reach the upper atmosphere, but it it flying at 20,000 feet, like the skip likes to say, was quite all right with me. And for that, I'm gonna give it a 7.9. Interesting. How are you doing with that skip?

SPEAKER_02 16:34

Well, well, I'm in the realm. I'm in the realm, definitely. It started off pretty sweet, very gelato-ish, at least through a blunt, and but very pleasant, very sweet and and subtle, not in a gelato aggressive type way. The smoke, again, after the initial cough, it smoothed down. Very smooth and a very pleasant smoke throughout. The high was consistent and pretty potent. It died down precipitously one hour later, but what more can you expect? Uh, pretty good smoke, and for that I gotta give it an eight.

SPEAKER_01 17:12

Yeah with this one. This is a good one. It was enjoyable, it was in pleasant. It wasn't something that got you smacked, but very enjoyable. Yeah. Very enjoyable. Good job, Anzi.
