Well, the smell is pungent like rotting fruit and skunk. Taste varies, like last night I swear I actually tasted a rotting fruit type taste. But mostly its more of a spicey/coffee like flavor and nutty. You definitely grow a tolerance for this stuff, I have been smoking ICE and Goo for past couple weeks and it seems like they get me the same high. When I first started hitting the ICE though it was a very deep stone starting in the head with a body buzz. But toward the end it developes into a full body stone and perfect for sleep aid and the ever present munchies. Cant wait to harvest some fresh strains cuz this stuff just not getting me as high as I want to be. Need some sativa in my life, plus going to let the Indica dom plants go longer for stronger stone.
