STRAIN SPOTLIGHT Strain Spotlight – White Widow (Hybrid) POSTED ON DECEMBER 18, 2019 BY JACKSON BLAC

Initial Thoughts

I use to dream about going to Amsterdam, the same way children dream of Disneyland. When my younger brother turned 18 it seemed like the perfect time to make the trip. Our train was late arriving into the city, so we scrambled into a cab and asked him to take us to the nearest Coffeeshop, as they were all about to close. We ordered the only name we recognized on the list: White Widow. It’s a strain we had heard about in North America but never had the chance to try it until then. At that time you could still smoke spliffs in Coffeeshops so the only rolling papers they had were giant king-sized ones. My brother and I rolled an obscenely large joint and went to a corner of the Coffeeshop.

We proceeded to get more high than we had known possible. It got so intense we had to leave and go to our hostel to get some air. It was only the beginning of a weed tasting that lasted a week but felt like a year. By the end, my brother somehow ended up with mononucleosis. My parents blamed me and to this day say I “broke” my brother for a couple of months on our trip to Amsterdam. I wear that title with pride. However, I can’t take all of the credit. White Widow was our go-to strain throughout the entire trip.
