Mary Joy Herbal Incense

PACKAGING

The packaging for Mary Joy is hilarious. The product name is gigantic, easy to read as it the net weight. On the back, they list the herbs they use, except they use the latin names, such as Althaea Officinalis which is just common ol' marshmallow leaf, or Verbascum Thapsus which is just mullein and Turnera Diffusa which i bet half of you guessed is just damiana. So, the products in this are the same as any other, despite the latin names. Not entirely sure why they did this, it's more confusing than it is helpful. I also believe ingredients that are unrecognised are potentially harmful, in the case of any allergic reactions from the herb themselves. (had a friend that was allergic to marshmallow leaf).
Other than the confusing latin contents, the packaging is bright, cheery and constant. No EXTREME DANGER warnings, no boasts of strength, very unassuming.

FLAVOR AND AROMA

The aroma of this one was very sweet, fruity. From mango, through to orange and into lime. Its unique to any other blend I've smelled, and I really liked it.
The flavor didn't really port across from the smell, but as with many of the sweeter, fruitier smelling blends, that was pretty much expected. Taste wasn't bad, just wasn't all the aroma promises it to be.



EFFECTS

The effects of this one hit me by completely surprise. Upon first tested, I finished, sat there, and thought "I've had 3rd gens hit me harder than this." 10 minutes later, I changed my mind. This is one that creeps upon you, without you even aware its happening at first. Firstly, your eyes become slightly more intense, then everything just feels more pleasant. The number one riding factor I got from this blend was that it made me feel pleasant and peaceful. I've had some make me grin stupidly for 30 minutes, others make me giggle at stupid stuff, but this one just made me want to hug the world. Sadly I only got 1 gram of this in my sample, and that was 2 testings, but with both testings I got the same results. 30 minutes of peaceful bliss and social acceptance, I became the most interesting person in the world in a group surrounding because my brain was just constantly linking current conversation topics to knowledge I didn't even know was in there. Overall it was a great experience, not the strongest for sure, definitely not the weakest but it certainly has its own unique effects.

SCORES


PACKAGING 7/10 - I give this one 7 simply for the confusing ingredients list; anybody that has an allergy will know that to a certain plant you often rely on this information to tell you exactly what is in it. If the ingredients listed for a frozen pizza were in Hungarian and you had a pork allergy for example, you'd not buy that product. Same goes for all products in a day and age where information is used to make even the most basic decisions intelligently. Personally i promote safety in these products, and a full list of product ingredients in English would make me feel much better buying this product.

FLAVOR AND AROMA 8/10 - Lovely mango-orange aroma, is let down by the generic herb taste of the product itself. Still, I don't intend to eat it so the taste isn't really that big of an issue and the smell is enticingly good.

EFFECTS 8.9/10 - The effects are creeping, long-lasting and fairly potent, although not incredibly so. It does have its own unique effects that I haven't quite experienced with any other product, but this just isn't enough to make up for the lack of kick it packs, especially for its price.

OVERALL 8.5/10 Confusing contents, lack of aroma to taste porting, and unique effects however not as strong as i would like puts this one at an 8.5/10. Not a mind blowing product, but certainly one for the party and I'd certainly recommend it for new or casual users and even the most experienced consumers will find something different here.

This is just the plain Mary Joy Herbal Incense, not to confused with "Mary Joy Warning! K2 spice".
