After recently reviewing a few Cronja drops in Illinois, I decided to try Cronja’s 1.5-gram Glass Tip Preroll. I picked up three strains: 312 Zoap, Illemonati, and Melted Cherries.

312 Zoap was a hybrid cross of Rainbow Sherbet and Pink Guava, testing at 1.423% THC, 34.797% THCa, 1.650% CBGa, and 37.87% total cannabinoids. Primary terpenes included limonene, β-myrcene, nerolidol, and β-caryophyllene. Illemonati was a sativa-dominant cross of Gelonade and Dosido, testing at 21.808% THCa, 0.778% CBGa, and 23.148% total cannabinoids. Dominant terpenes included β-caryophyllene, limonene, and β-myrcene with total terpenes at 1.056%. Melted Cherries was a sativa-leaning hybrid cross of Black Cherry Punch and Tropicana Cookies, testing at 0.641% THC, 27.035% THCa, 1.410% CRGa, and 29.086% total cannabinoids. Primary terpenes included limonene, β-caryophyllene, β-myrcene, and cedrol, with 1.118% total terpenes.

The 1.5G Glass Tip Preroll, for each strain, came as one thick joint branded with a Cronja logo wrap around a glass tip. A plastic plug kept the preroll from dumping weed into the tip. Each of the three prerolls burned slowly and evenly and were perfect for sharing in a large sesh.

All three prerolls were flavorful. The flavor on the 312 Zoap had a foundation of earthy pine that mixed with floral, cherries, citrus, sweet pepper, and soap notes. The soap notes highlighted the back end of the exhale and left a creamy soap flavor on the pallet. The Illemonati flavor delivered vanilla sweetness and mint cookie throughout, with strong notes of lemon citrus, vanilla, earthy kush, and pine. The Melted Cherries’ earth and cherry flavor dominated the profile and mixed well with notes of sweet citrus, vanilla, and skunky pepper.

The effects for all three strains were similar, “good mood” head highs with heavy body buzzes and fast onsets. The 312 Zoap provided a fast-acting head high that started with a euphoric rush that boosted my mood to a more carefree vibe. The relatively clearheaded head high came with a heavy band feeling around the eyes, temples and back of the head. The body buzz started in the arms and legs and worked its way inward until it became a weighted.

The Illemonati head high was uplifting, clearheaded, creative, and overall happy without racy side effects. The physical buzz came on quick with waves of relaxation that built toward a heavy-blanket effect. The body buzz eventually reduced the energy boost, but the head high remained clearheaded and mood boosting. The Melted Cherries delivered an uplifting, and feel-good buzz that slowly shifted to more of a happy relaxation. The body buzz added a smoothness to the mood-boosting high that provided the release of stress and tightness in my shoulders and back. The full peak of the overall body buzz caused a light sinking feeling that came in waves.
