In L. Frank Baum's famous novel, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," one of the most iconic characters is the malevolent witch. Throughout the story, this wicked sorceress, known as the Wicked Witch of the West, schemes to regain her stolen magical slippers and seek revenge on Dorothy, the story's protagonist. Her malevolence and power make her a formidable foe. The malevolent witch is introduced early in the story, when Dorothy's house lands on and kills her sister, the Wicked Witch of the East. This event sparks the witch's desire for revenge and sets the stage for her antagonistic role in the plot.
The inhale was a mix of sweet, creamy, fruity, and herbal notes while the exhale goes in a more sweet creamy direction with a lingering creamy finish. If you look hard enough, you can find distant gassy notes in the inhale.
Grouping strains together by their effects into categories such as sativa, indica, and hybrid is the main way cannabis enthusiasts differentiate, but we can go even deeper than that. Platinum Kush is a 90 10 indica strain that usually produces a heavily sedating buzz that makes it the perfect strain for enjoying a relaxing and stress-free evening.
This event sparks the witch's desire for revenge and sets the stage for her antagonistic role in the plot. She immediately sets out to retrieve the magical slippers from Dorothy, who unwittingly ended up wearing them. The witch's malevolence is evident in her relentless pursuit of Dorothy and her companions as they journey towards the Emerald City.
Magic City by Jokes Up
Today I am reviewing the rare, exclusive Jokes Up strain, Magic City.
Magic City Genetics
Compound Genetics created the strain Magic City, but the crosses remain a secret. It appears that Compound Genetics is the exclusive Jokes Up Genetic Curator and Culitivor. I am very impressed with everything Compound Genetics does, and I think this a sagacious move by Jokes Up.
The name of strain Magic City by Jokes Up pay homage to the nickname city of Miami. So why do people call Miami the magic city? There are so many reasons; it could be the magical sunsets, the enchanting beaches, the inviting paradise, or the glowing neon bright strip clubs? Take a trip to Miami, and I will let you decide.
Appearance
The buds are large colas whose leaves have the perfect balance of blending purple, dark green, light green hues. The long orange hairs sporadically about and immersive tiny white resinous trichome crystals complete the trip to the land of exotics.
Aroma
The aroma is very complex, and, at first, I found myself challenged to describe it. At its core, I believe there is some Runtz in there with forward fruity herbal notes. Digging deeper, I found the fruity herbal notes complemented by sweet, creamy cakey notes and delicious gassy notes.
The Inhale and The Exhale
The inhale was a mix of sweet, creamy, fruity, and herbal notes while the exhale goes in a more sweet creamy direction with a lingering creamy finish. If you look hard enough, you can find distant gassy notes in the inhale.
The Smoking Experience
I subjectively enjoyed the smoking experience immensely. The flavor profile and aroma are some of my favorites. I also enjoyed how clean the flower burned, burning to a clean white ash. #whiteashgang
The High
The Magic City high is a mix of body and head highs. After smoking Magic City by Jokes Up, I find my head floating around the room while my body was very relaxed, almost similar to that of CBD on steroids. I found the high perfect for pain management and relaxing.
So was Magic City worth the money and would I buy it again?
Yes #allday. I have really been enjoying the new Jokes Up line up and really enjoyed this strain. While, I was concerned when seeing the promotion of strain contracts a while back, but I am delighted to see consistent quality being delivered.
Where can you find Magic City?
You can find the this strain by Jokes Up in California and Miami. Also, I expect it to be available at the Jokes Up dispensary soon to be opened on Melrose. The Jokes Up Dispensary was initially slated to open in late October, but Jokes Up has since pushed back the Grand Opening.
She sends her flying monkeys, a manifestation of her dark magic, to capture them and retrieve the slippers. Throughout their adventures, the witch appears in various forms, bringing tempestuous weather and obstacles to hinder their progress. The main idea of the malevolent witch from Oz is her unwavering determination to obtain ultimate power by reclaiming the slippers and defeating Dorothy. This central conflict propels the story forward and heightens the tension. The witch's actions reflect her malicious intentions, revealing a character fueled by jealousy, anger, and a thirst for power. Despite her undeniable malevolence, the witch's demise is ultimately brought about by her own actions. In a climactic moment, Dorothy accidentally throws water onto the witch, causing her to melt away. This ironic twist - that a maleficent sorceress could be defeated by something as innocent as water - emphasizes the strength of good over evil and serves as a pivotal moment in the story's resolution. The malevolent witch from Oz is an iconic character that has captured the imagination of readers and viewers for decades. Her dark power, relentless pursuit, and ultimate defeat at the hands of a kind-hearted protagonist serve as important elements in the overall narrative. Through her portrayal, Baum highlights the inherent struggle between good and evil and the triumph of righteousness in the face of malevolence..
