The following diary entry is shared to provide insight into my personal use of cannabis to alleviate a series of medical and health issues. 

I almost abandoned Fugazi Funk twice as I was rolling my joint. The bud, which looks stellarโ€”perhaps interstellar, has muted aromas of earth, citrus and spice. Even when broken down and ground, the aromas remain subdued and unremarkable.  Once my J was completed I put it in its tube, and went out to dinner. I returned to the J (with a pre-roll as backup) ready to toss it if all remained the same. But, to my surprise and delight once I popped open the tube rich and delicious aromas emerged of strong spice, sweet nuts, pine and aromatic wood, and a touch of citrus. The flavor mirrored the newly improved and highly welcomed aroma. What started out as a concern became a very tasty, classic old school flavor and aroma experience.  

The high was equally classic and wonderfully basic.  Deep relaxation, pain and stress relief and just a great way to close the day off, take a load off, and enjoy an evening alone without knocking off immediately to sleep. 

I recommend Fugazi Funk to anyone who grew up consuming cannabis in the โ€˜90s.  This bud once it was aired out and ready to go, really reminded me of the experiences I had coming up and just learning about cannabis.  Back then, we would have just called it โ€œgood weedโ€. I would like to think that the young generationโ€”and those new to cannabis would appreciate this experience as an interactive history lesson (though the buds I smoked in the โ€˜90s never looked as pretty or funky as this Fugazi Funk).
