Woolly Mammoth AAAA (available in Kitchener only)

As its name implies, Mammoth is a sativa with larger-than-life flowers, flavors, and buzzy effects. It is the brainchild of The Bank of Cannabis Genetics, the creators of Orange Kush and Bobblehead, and is a cross between unique hybrid LA Confidential and the very resinous Snowcap. Mammoth is a great strain for consumers who want to illuminate their daily agenda without becoming totally incapacitated. Mammoth’s THC levels have been measured at between 12% and 21%.

Mammoth’s flowers are indeed Mammoth-sized, clinging together in elongated, almost cylindrical shapes. These huge buds have the dense, tightly-packed structure that more commonly comes with indicas. The leaves are a pale shade of spring green and are twisted through with rust-colored pistils. Parent strain Snowcap imparts its tendency for resin production: Mammoth’s buds are coated in translucent white trichomes, which account for the strain’s psychoactivity and makes it hard to break up without a quality grinder.

When properly cured, Mammoth gives off a pleasant scent reminiscent of honey or molasses — both unconventional aromas when it comes to cannabis genetics. These sweet scents are accented by a fruity, citrus-like character. Grinding up the sticky buds releases a robust earthy odor. When burnt, Mammoth gives off a smooth and easily palatable smoke that tastes simultaneously fruity and earthy on the exhale.
