After seeing them all over my IG I was very interested to try something from the Backpack Boyz and 5 Points. So after a little investigation, I was able to track down some Italian Ice over at Cana Harbor.
It was my first time visiting Cana Harbor and I was impressed. They had a lot of my favorite strains for reasonable prices with daily specials.
Being that I am new to Backpack Boyz and 5 Points, I don’t know too much about them. What I do know is they got mad flavors that got me like DAMN. I need to try that…..
The Italian Ice strain is Forbidden Fruit crossed with Gelato #45. Diving deeper, Forbidden Fruit is Tangie crossed with Thin Mints, while Gelato #45 is Sunset Sherbet crossed with Thin Mints.
The Buds are a dark purple in color with a few light green leaves and orange hairs here and there. Resinous trichrome crystals and tiny white hairs completely cover the bud.
When it come to the scent, it was like they were laser focused on a few specific terps. The aroma is the most sweet amazing mix of tropical punch and pineapple with light mango and tart notes. You really see the Forbidden Fruit and Sherbet take center stage in the nose.
The inhale was not what I expected after such a sweet pineappley nose. The inhale took a more earthy herbal direction with very light sweet lavender gelato like notes with very delicate pineapple notes, if you look hard enough.
The exhale takes a delicate sweet light tropical punch turn with orange citrus and pineapple notes being most present.
The high is a great mix of the strain’s genetic ancestry. A very clean, calming, euphoric high allowing focus while helping with anxiety, pain relief and appetite stimulation.
So was it worth the money and would I buy it again? Yes. As seen in the video this is extremely exotic weed grown, flushed and cured the right way. #whiteash. I was very impressed with the nose and am looking forward to trying more Flavors from the Backpack Boyz and 5 Points.
Where can it be found? As of late I have seen Strains from the Backpack Boyz and 5 Points beings sold at more and more clubs from the Bay to LA. I got mine at Cana Harbor but I have also seen it at Dr. Greenthumbs and Cookies.
