as far as i know, i was the first person to ever report on 8 miles high, and will summarize my experience with it once more here..
awesome neutral energy! it isn't racy or paranoid, but doesn't have a peep of stone either where some strains can have both effects at once. i used to call it a "hole in the buzz where you'd expect energy effects", but think now just saying it's a really clean high sounds better. it's very classy in that respect to me. you can chill out on it OR do any activity you want. it has moderate psychoactivity, but it really loves music and dancing, and the euphoric buzz just wants to have fun. i really liked how the high gave me precise body control doing the robot so it felt like i was a robot! that effect is as close as i've gotten to the light floaty high of columbian gold, what i started out on, and compare everything i smoke to. i just love 8 miles high because it does nothing wrong and so much right. the first time i blazed it was like taking a time machine back to the 80s! it has an awesome buzz for such a fast flowering strain, and kick's generic haze (that has no psychoactivity really's) ass! i'd be happy as a clam if that were the only strain in the world to smoke. the world would be a better place.
speaking of that, mandala is a hero of mine as HE represents the old school mentality that's missing so much in the weed scene these days, namely love of the gift and respect for mother earth without getting greedy about it! he grows righteous gear with a righteous attitude. i wanna be like him when i grow up! LOL
sadly. these days, people in the scenes from some breeders to most growers and dealers only care about that cash green... the same fucked up mentality that's destroying the planet and REALLY pissing mother nature off. weed could SAVE the planet if only it would be embraced as the gift from god that it is, and i'm not just talking about getting high and questioning what greedy fucks are doing to the world, but all of it's material benefits like producing fibers that are stronger than timber and 20x more renewable, all the while nitrifying the soil, making ropes that aren't based on oil spilling etc. nylon, non toxic alternatives to latex, something you can eat and wear on your feet, and, oh, REAL anti-depressants that don't make you commit suicide like the ones in all those TV ads besides all f it's many other legit medical uses! hey, if it weren't for haze x skunk, i might have already choked to death on my morning beer burp reflux.
weed really needs to get back to it's old school roots, pun intended
