Cresco Pheno 51 pre-roll 1g

Cresco is based in Chicago, Illinois, and produces a wide variety of medical cannabis products, including quality flower, vapes, and edibles in partnership with other companies. Pheno 51 is a hybrid strain featuring a cross between Star Killer and Skywalker OG strains. It is known for its wide variety of beneficial effects, from pain relief to appetite stimulation.

Appearance 5/5
Cresco’s Pheno 51 pre-roll arrives in a slim cardboard box. Like other Hybrid products in Cresco’s line, Pheno 51 comes in a bright green box. The joint inside is encased in a thin plastic container that has a plastic lid to keep the product fresh, and it keeps its strong scent from escaping. The packaging is very nice, and showcases the fact that this is a quality product.

Aroma 4/5
The aroma of the Pheno 51 strain is strong, but not exactly overpowering. As I opened the packaging, I noticed the aroma of fresh pine, earth, and just the general smell of fresh plant life. Overall, the aroma smelled very fresh, reminding me of a spring day spent in a forest, but with a little added funkiness.

Taste 5/5
From the smell of the product, I had a feeling that this strain would produce smoke with a fresh, earthy flavor. As I took the first few hits, I appreciated the tastes of fresh pine mixed with a mild flavor of earth. This strain didn’t have a spiciness to it at all – it is more of a light flavor. From the start, this was a smooth strain that produces thick, but mellow, smoke. This strain had a delicious, fresh taste that I truly enjoyed.

Effect 5/5
I smoked about half of the joint, and I began feeling effects after about three good hits. This strain gave me no anxiety or any adverse feelings whatsoever. I felt relaxed and happy, and damn near euphoric.

It was primarily a head high, but I also was able to sense my body relaxing, and any pain or soreness melted away. This strain almost made me feel like I was clearing out the cobwebs, pushing out all stress from my mind, without sacrificing functionality or clarity in my thinking. The feelings lasted around two hours.

Product price: $20 for 1g; $25 including tax

This product would be excellent for use by experienced cannabis users and novice ones, alike. I would highly recommend this product to any user suffering from depression, or to any user looking for relief from aches and pains. This would be an ideal strain for pain relief for any user with chronic headaches or migraines, as well. It’s a great strain to relax the brain, without causing anxiety or unwanted effects.

Cresco’s Pheno 51 is a great strain, and I felt that this pre-roll was high-quality, fresh, and had some great effects. As far as my experience with Sunnyside goes, I was impressed by the dispensary’s response to rapidly changing current events. The ordering process was extremely simple, and made the entire process at the dispensary much more efficient. I think it’s great that Sunnyside continues to serve all cannabis users while making necessary adaptations to keep customers safe.

Medical Patients only Monday and Tuesday

Sunnyside is located in Elmwood Park, and the dispensary has been proactive in response to the current pandemic crisis. Medical patients have the option to pre-order ahead of time, in order to limit their time in the store, or they can come in and make an order from a budtender, as usual. 

Recreational users must pre-order online. Sunnyside requires users to register for an account, but the sign-up process is painless, and I got approved very quickly. I feel that the new pre-order measure is a great idea, and I believe it is something that will carry over into everyday use, even after this crisis comes to an end.
