I ordered a kilo last week from Mystic Island and finally got my hands on some of this Vampire I've been hearing about. Here's my review on this blend:

Mystic Island - Vampire Review - Score: 9/10

This Vampire has... puts on sunglasses... some bite to it. I've taken it the last few nights as my evening/night time strain to wind down, and it's deeply relaxing and euphoric. That relaxed, comfortable feeling where you just feel warm/happy and want to lounge around for a century and hope some asshole doesn't put a stake in your chest.

While it's not a drowsy strain in and of itself, it definitely puts you in the mood to sleep if that was your intention for taking it, but it won't lull you to sleep on it's own. It's just a heavy relaxation and pleasant feeling.

It helps you zone out and unwind from the daily stress as you lay back and contemplate the infinite blackness of your unbeating and unforgiving heart. If you don't want to meditate on your eternal suffering as a servant of the damned, you could just play video games or watch netflix instead.

It also worked great for my pain, eliminating it almost completely. If you're looking for pain relief, this strain is a must try, and is one of the better strains I've tried for pain (and I've tried a lot).

I did have one weird side effect that thinking about garlic made me frightened for some reason, but your mileage may vary. Also, despite the rumors, sunlight and holy water will not potentiate it.

In all seriousness, this is a great strain and a great addition to my kratom collection!

Conclusion: Deeply relaxing, recommended for chronic pain sufferers. 9 out of 10 bats.
