CANNABIS REVIEWS

I love the herb. This is a love affair that’s been going on since the first time I smoked pot in March of 1983.
The first time I smoked the herb I felt “right” in my body for the first time in my life… 

Since that first evening pounds of marijuana have been consumed. I’ve tried (and photographed) over 375 different strains of marijuana. I’ve smoked so many different versions of OG Kush, ChemDawg, Sour Diesel, Trainwreck (and more) that it’s crazy, I’ve chanted at pot rallies, survived the War on Drugs, volunteered at collectives, and along the way I’ve learned a lot about this amazing plant…

My All Time Top-Ten Herb Strains

  1. California Skunk Buds (circa 1984) – This strain no longer exists, but it’s my all-time favorite!
  2. OG Kush – of course!
  3. Chem Dawg, AKA Chemdawg, Chem 91
  4. Sour Diesel
  5. Girl Scout Cookies
  6. Wedding Cake
  7. Mendo Breath
  8. Purple Punch
  9. Runtz
  10. Hindu Kush
  11. Larry OG

ABOUT THIS COLLECTION OF VIDEOS

Below are over 120 cannabis reviews on YouTube! We began doing reviews as Red Bench Reviews in June of 2020, during the pandemic and have continued through 2025. We are now on a hiatus from the show but this is the complete catalog of reviews we filmed.

The reviews are based on my unbiased opinions. I show the jar or mylar the herb comes in, show off the nugs, take a few hits from my trusty bong, and then, after ten minutes, give my stream-of-thought review about what I just experienced. Each review lasts from 10 minutes to 20 minutes, depending.

NOTE: Our apologies, because of YouTube’s insistent that cannabis is an “ADULT” content subject, we can not stream our videos on our website. Please follow the link on whichever video you choose to see and go watch it on the YouTube site. Thank you for understanding. Eeeerrrrrr…it drives us crazy.
