The sticks have a nice, hashy flavour with a heavy, heady body buzz, much different than the greenbud I see Stateside. Not so much an intellectual enhancement as a full on concrete blanket that holds you to the Earth. The old-style shit got me WAY higher than anything I've seen in the last dozen years. Michochan, Oaxacan, Columbian Gold were all a much more debilitating family than the Indica strains brought over in the early eighties and cloned to death. Smell does Not equal Buzz.
