Grower: Golden Temple

Rating: 4.5 (Revisit — original review November 2024)

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

Red Wine Bubble Gum from Golden Temple has lost none of its magic. The original review captured the bud’s remarkable aromatic journey — from sweet, skunky, herby, woody foundations rising through fruit and heavy gas into that signature fizzy Coca-Cola finish — and this session reaffirmed all of it and then some. The aroma remains gassy, sweet, fruity, and unmistakably bubble gum, as distinctive and expressive as ever. The flavor, if anything, has grown more complex and confident: that Coca-Cola fizziness is front and center, sweet and peppery, spiced and floral, with a fruity depth that makes each pull a genuinely layered experience.

The high is where this revisit demands an upgrade. Ultra euphoric and soaring, it settles into a mellow, relaxed state that never loses its warmth or its glow. It is a high of real quality — one that earns its elevation honestly.

I highly recommend Red Wine Bubblegum without reservation. Golden Temple continues to operate in a category of his own, and this bud remains one of the finest expressions of what they do. Experienced consumers, do not pass this up. Novice consumers — smell it, touch it, take one careful puff, and consider yourself educated.
