With influences from four continents, it\u2019s no wonder that Gold Congo rosin has such wide appeal. It\u2019s not just for sativa divas, although it is definitely uplifting and uber energetic. In higher doses, its Afghan lineage can shine through, making Gold Congo a hash rosin even indica fans could fall in love with. Those who prefer hybrids will find this to be high-bred, indeed, with effects spanning the full spectrum of psychoactive experience depending on dosage. And for those who have more psychedelic tendencies, but prefer a milder trip that you don\u2019t have to plan your entire day around, well, welcome home.<\/p>\n<p>All hail to Sirius Starboy, the cannabis alchemist behind breeding one of the world\u2019s best known old-school sativas \u2013 Colombian Gold \u2013 with the Bay Area\u2019s interpretation of Red Congolese to create this extraordinary strain. <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/heirloom-and-landrace-strains\/\">Red Congolese <\/a>on its own is a rare and super exotic African landrace sativa. But Bay Area breeders reportedly bred the strain with Mexican and Afghan influences to create the melting-pot version of Red Congolese that eventually fathered Gold Congo. At 76 percent THC and 7 percent <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/10-things-know-terpenes\/\">terps<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/rawkstarexotics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rawkstar Exotics<\/a> version I dabbed for this review shattered all my perceptions of what rosin could be.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Look<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Gold Congo is a translucent, light gold color that lives up to its name. Exceptionally high terps give this hash rosin a sappy consistency that\u2019s super dabbable, easily manageable from its glass jar and best handled with a dab tool.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Smell<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Unscrew the lid and prepare your nostrils for an intense blast of naturally high original terps that test upwards of 7 percent. Gold Congo has a very pungent, spicy aroma, akin to something you\u2019d find in a <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/?s=thai\">Thai<\/a> culinary spice. The smell is overwhelmingly reminiscent of dark and spicy clove with sandalwood high notes, a mild floral undertone and a slightly peppery bottom end. It\u2019s worth noting that the smell is most intense when the rosin is a little warmer than room temperature. Put it in your pocket for a while if you have to \u2013 the unique aroma of this terp <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/?s=rosin\">rosin<\/a> is definitely worth it.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Flavor<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Gold Congo\u2019s taste closely aligns with its smell, particularly when vaped at lower temperatures. It instantly coats the tongue with a strong, sandalwood spice. Faint notes of <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/valentines-day-recipe-dirty-chocolate-thai-chai-latte\/\">chai <\/a>linger in the slightly sour aftertaste.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The High<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Gold Congo is stunningly complex, boasting such broad appeal across the psychoactive spectrum that it truly offers something for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>If Red Congolese has been referred to as the \u201ccocaine of cannabis,\u201d then Gold Congo must be the \u201cmollie of marijuana.\u201d One solid toke could have you cleaning your house, snuggling in ecstasy, and docking at the interdimensional space station of euphoria. And as the high subsides and your parachute opens up for your descent back to Earth, the toasty feelings of euphoria give way to a tantalizing indica coziness that will have you at one with the universe \u2013 if not the couch.<\/p>\n<p>Mind-opening, consciousness-expanding and yes, borderline psychedelic, Gold Congo shot me out of the cannon of consciousness and catapulted me into realms beyond the cosmos, then gently floated me back to 3D reality in time for dinner.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/medicated-meditation\/\">Yogis<\/a>, dancers and athletes will love Gold Congo hash rosin, not only due to its supreme sativa-dominance, but because it creates a surprisingly unique body high that makes you want to move. You may find yourself twirling around like a whirling deva or pulling out your yoga mat, because your body just wants to move and stretch and play. One of the people sampling this strain with me began to bend and twist his body in ways that he said realigned his back so well, he canceled his chiropractic appointment. And it is so highly energetic, it\u2019s the perfect strain for sustained physical activity. Dab this before your workout and you will be effortlessly in the zone.<\/p>\n<p>Gold Congo is also ideal for a fun night out or any kind of social activity. High levels of mental acuity make words flow easily and conversation more passionately engaged, like a really clean caffeine kick. And as the dab melts, so do any feelings of anxiety. Again, this is not like many sativa strains that are racy to the point of discomfort. Gold Congo is the best of all worlds: It\u2019s mentally stimulating without falling off into paranoia, it makes you active without burdening you with anxiety, it relaxes you enough to engage without awkwardness, and it\u2019s euphoric without\u2026 actually, it just plain makes you euphoric.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Best Uses<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever encountered a <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/category\/cannabis\/grow\/strains\/\">strain<\/a> with such diversity of applications based on titration. Doses ranging from tiny to low will produce a very energizing, uplifting, sativa-of-your-dreams experience. A mid-range dose will keep your mental acuity intact, while simultaneously transporting you to phantasmagoric realms of near-psychedelic euphoria. And higher doses can be quite intense at first, but mellow into more meditative, relaxing states of consciousness. In other words, Gold Congo is the strain we\u2019ve ALL been waiting for.<\/p>\n<p>In general, Gold Congo rosin is ideal for working out or any sort of athletic activity, domestic chores, yoga, \u2018zenning\u2019 out and blissing out, meditating and contemplating, being creative and social engagement. From a medicinal standpoint, Gold Congo is an excellent mood-enhancer, mood-stabilizer and anti-depressant. It curbs anxiety as well as appetite, and provides a form of clean energy that, in smaller doses, could easily replace caffeine in your daily regimen.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Word<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Gold Congo terp rosin is instantly legendary \u2013 a must for anyone looking to level-up their stash, enhance physical performance or expand their consciousness. A more complex, nuanced high has never been found, at least by the likes of yours truly, and I can assure you, I\u2019ve been looking.
