Comments-
I remember the first time I smoked TW. It was probably around 1990 and weed was scarce at the time. A guy I knew found something he called Trainwreck and sold it to me. When I looked at the bag I was extremely disappointed because it was all leaf. I couldn't find anything else at the time so I went ahead with the deal, took it home and smoked it.
Long story short; I couldn't believe how strong this leaf was. Fucking unbelievable for leaves.
After that, it was a long time before I smoked it (or its knockoffs) again but eventually, it came around fairly often and it was always a treat. At this time, it's probably been since 2003 or so that I've sampled some real TW so i was happy to try out Greenthumbs version to compare. I never grew it back in the day so I can't compare growth patterns, but as far as taste and high go, Greenthumbs is the real deal. I really hope some of the old school TW growers will try this one and let me know what they think about its growth characteristics.
Anyway, I can see why this one is listed as one of the all time greats. Great taste, great buzz, and a very solid yield, make this one a true elite. This stuff rips the head off many seasoned smokers, including myself. I would probably put this in the top 5-10 strains i've ever smoked.

Final Comment-
A very good medical strain for pain. In small doses I could see this being a very fun recreational strain but if you over do it, you're probably going to want to sit down for a while and relax.
Man… I love doing this!
