Toe Jam is a hot new phenotype from LOWD that does not sound nearly as appealing as it hits. While some varieties are bred from Cheese and DJ Short Flo—a decidedly stinkier strain with the same name—this one is bred from Gelato 41 and Undertow. Gelato 41 leans slightly sativa while Undertow leans indica, and when they get together, the combination is tasty, aromatic, and sure to pull you under. Unlike Cheese strains, you can put this bud right up to your nose and inhale deeply. A bright bouquet of oranges and mint rise to the surface, underscored by rich notes of earth, pine, and a little bit of diesel. The frosted pale green buds have some subtle purple accents if you break them apart to look inside, and we recommend using a kief-catching grinder to make sure you don't lose any of those crystalized trichomes in the process. Toe Jam hits your brain like a late-stage Childish Gambino album—it might seem disorienting at first, but you quickly relax into the soothing power of its tasty grooves. This is a sociable high worth sharing with a couple close friends, or a rejuvenating introspective journey if you're smoking on your own tonight.
