Hippie Headbanger by Magi Cannabis feels like old school stuff from back in the day.

This particular smoke is often mentioned on weed forums when people visiting BC ask for a recommendation for local bud that’s a must try. I finally found some in a nearby store and couldn’t pass it up. I wasn’t disappointed.

The smell fills the room when you open the bag. It’s sweet, funky, and potent.

Magi says their weed is non-irradiated, which in my experience means more for the nose to enjoy.

The handful of buds in my eighth didn’t look perfect, but the 3.5-gram bag only cost $25—a bargain for a quality eighth when most craft products run $35-$40.

Still, they were nicely trimmed and they felt just right, springy and dank. They ground up beautifully and rolled up nicely.

The smoke was a treat. In the first few pulls, the taste transported me back to the old days, smooth and tasty.

It’s a good buzz, too.

The batch of Hippie Headbanger I tried was fresh, packaged less than a month before I bought it. It had 26.9% THC.

Overall, this is great stuff. In fact, I went out the next day and bought two more bags.

Highly recommend.
