Straight out of the bottle, BTY—or Better Than Yours—makes the grand promise that it’s superior to whatever else you may have on your green medicine shelf. That’s a bold statement, to quote the late Vinnie Vega: Sure, this 100-percent indica, which we found at Green Cloud Collective in Moreno Valley, is a beautiful strain, with sage and hazelnut-colored, tapered buds and fuzzy, spear-shaped nugs. Flavor-wise, BTY’s spearmint bite and toasted rice finish is unique enough to stand out from the pack. But does it get you to the Promised Land? In a word: Yes. BTY packs a roundhouse of a punch, hitting you seemingly from out of nowhere and putting a stagger in your step. It’s what can only be described as a “consistent” stone—the intensity doesn’t build or plateau, but simply sets in fast and maintains a deep level of intensity for hours. That unwavering, “I can’t believe I’m still high” quality makes BTY a good remedy for chronic nerve pain and severe muscle injuries, and an excellent treatment for nausea and loss of appetite from chemotherapy.
