Genie Juice, originally bred by Brothers Grimm Seeds, has quickly become a favorite among hybrid enthusiasts. Known for its balanced sweetness, faint notes of sour and gas, and an uplifting effect, this cultivar is ideal for those seeking relaxation without a heavy hit. I found it the perfect companion for my recent Jon Batiste album marathon, providing a relaxed, functional vibe—something creatively engaging without overwhelming. The experience felt just right, especially paired with Batiste’s 2023 album, World Music Radio, which is a genre-blending journey in itself.
Batiste’s “World Music Radio” is an imaginative blend of jazz, soul, R&B, and pop with Afrobeat, funk, and Caribbean rhythms. His storytelling style and collaborations with stars like Lil Wayne and Lana Del Rey make this album a sensory treat—perfect for the mind-expanding influence of cannabis. Even without cannabis, Batiste’s work celebrates world cultures and invites listeners to explore a wide array of sounds.
As for Honeygreen’s Genie Juice, the quality held up to my expectations. Its citrusy terpene profile, solid cure, and even burn made it a smooth, enjoyable experience. This eighth rolled up easily in two king-sized cones and paired nicely with my “Treat Yourself” meal of chicken hibachi and an ice-cold Sprite.
“So light it up, the world is calling, time to feel the love that’s all around…”
At the right price, Honeygreen’s Genie Juice is definitely worth keeping on your radar, and I’m excited to explore more from this brand, including their Marilyn Monroe cultivar.
