Craft Botanics's Spritzer is a 24% THC-balanced hybrid medicinal cannabis flower created by crossing Grape Pie with (Runtz X MAC). Grown in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada Spritzer is pesticide and PGR (Plant Growth Regulator) free, hung dried, and trimmed by hand. With dominant terpenes of Limonene, Germacrene, and Caryophyllene Sprizter is recommended for the possible treatment of depression and chronic stress and to stimulate appetite.
Grape Pie’s lineage was detailed in my review of Chemovar’s Daily Grape. For a quick refresher, Grape Pie is the result of crossing Cherry Pie with the Gage Green Group's Grape Stomper. With Limonene, Myrcene, and Linalool as Grape Pie’s dominant terpenes, this cultivar is frequently recommended for patients suffering from chronic stress or anxiety, depression, insomnia, chronic pain and mood swings.
I detailed Runtz’s family tree in my review of Motherplant’s MRZ. However, for another quick recap, Runtz also known as Runtz OG is an evenly balanced hybrid cannabis cultivar created by the Cookies Family by crossing Zkittlez with Gelato. Recommended for patients treating conditions such as insomnia, chronic pain, appetite loss or nausea and chronic stress or anxiety Runtz is typically high in Caryophyllene, followed by Limonene and Myrcene.
My initial coverage of MAC’s family tree appeared in Cultiva’s Lee Anne Womac review. MAC sometimes called Miracle Alien Cookies or Miracle Cookies is a hybrid cultivar made by crossing Alien Cookies with Starfighter and Columbian. Miracle Alien Cookies is a favourite of American medical patients trying to treat symptoms of stress and depression. Her dominant terpenes are Limonene, Pinene, and Caryophyllene.
Review
Craft Botanics's detailed packaging immediately grabbed my attention because it provided all the essential information about the flower inside, something I wish more companies would do. Then when I opened my 10-gram elegant dark amber jar of Spritzer (batch 000128), I was struck by how densely packed it was. Talk about bag appeal!
Although the contents weighed only 0.10 grams more than 10 grams, visually it was very satisfying, making me feel like I was getting more than my $159 worth of product.
The predominantly chunky, medium-sized olive green buds were interspersed with darker green and purple leaves which glistened with an even coating of trichomes and terracotta-coloured pistils.
With a sweet grape aroma that became more pronounced as I broke buds up for my dosing caps, Sprizter easily passed the Sticky Icky Test.
Starting at 180C in my Venty, Craft Botanics's Spritzer is sweet and fruity on inhalation but gasy and spicy in the nose on exhalation. Smooth all the way along as I move closer to 205C (rarely did I go over 205C) Spritzer’s effects were unique. When I first introduced this cultivar into my rotation, it delivered a lazy, unproductive high, somewhat similar to Cannatrek’s Topaz but much more refined. However, when I reintroduced Spritzer, her effects the second time around were more euphoric and mentally uplifting paired with a hint of focus while still providing the same relaxing sensation in the body.
Will I refill this prescription? Yes. Once I learned how to embrace Spritzer’s effects, it became a highly enjoyable cultivar for me becoming my go-to for tranquil afternoons with friends, family dinners, or even evening strolls with the dog. Though bidding farewell to Endoca’s (Aura Therapeutics) Apples and Bananas saddens me, Craft Botanics's Spritzer is slightly more suited to my medicinal needs.
