It’s interesting how certain cannabis strains become associated with specific people, places, and things. One strain in the legal market really has my dad’s heart, Bio-Jesus, and anytime I see it, I think of the old man. I recently picked up from Sunnyside Champaign a Cresco Bio-Jesus Liquid Live Resin Vape Cart to review.

Bio Jesus is an indica-leaning hybrid cross of Bio Diesel and Gumbo. This live resin vape cart tested at 79.41% THC and total cannabinoids. A slightly longer version of the classic cylindrical 510-threaded vape Cresco uses, there was a clear plastic mouthpiece, a branded glass tank, with a thick blue band at the base, indicating the “indica” nature of Bio-Jesus. Inside, a honey amber-colored oil was slow moving even when warmed. Despite the basic hardware, the cart produced denser, heavier clouds than a half-gram equivalent.

The dense hits carried a layered flavor profile. Initially, a savory mix of fresh pine, roasted thyme, hot gas, and nutmeg hit the palate. Beneath this warm opener, a sweet and floral blend of candied lavender, wildflowers, and orange zest created a subtle finish. The light-floral tones clung to the palate for a few minutes post vape.

At low doses Bio Jesus created a pressure that started in my brow before spreading into the rest of my head, neck, and shoulders. The mental shift was light, pushing me towards a slow-to-build functional calm, but the bulk of the effect was physical. Higher doses from multi-hit sessions left me with a strong full-body weighted-blanket pressure that provided muscle relief as it grew. The head change was much more pronounced at high doses, stopping my train of thought while I became calm, quiet, and introspective. Bio Jesus worked best in the evening to wipe away the stress of the day.
