Novarine
6/30/2023
I picked up an 1/8 of Grassroot's live sugar Novarine and even though I am generally a pure indica smoker I enjoy the Sativa leaning Novarine a lot. I have chronic pain, nausea, and inflammation issues due to gastroparesis (damaged vagus nerve) so I can't really eat solid food regularly and look for strains that will help me with my stomach issues.
The problem with a lot of the Indicas is I am not as sharp as I would like to be while working and needed to find a middle ground day strain that didn't get too racy and provided moderate daytime relief.
With Novarine I have found a strain that provides me some of the tingly pain relieving body high of an Indica but remaining very clear headed and focused. Like many in this internet era my attention span has degraded over the years from all the time spent at my PC. But with this strain I feel extra focused and interested in the content I am consuming.
A great combination of feeling relaxed but also alert. In higher dosages I get more pain relief and brings forward more of the relaxed side. Its like couchlock that you can exit at will whenever you want. A good all day candidate for sure. I do feel that it brings more mental relief than physical overall though.
In terms of helping out hunger issues I would say this doesn't give me any feeling of munchies. Although it might be different for others with a more healthy digestive system, lol
Compared to past strains though I would say the pain relief is more moderate but better than a lot of your commonly seen sativa dominant strains. In terms of potency I will leave that to you for your tolerance to decide.
If you are a recreational user I would just straight up recommend it for an all day smoke that doesn't get you anxious and is good for if you need to focus but also need to stay lifted.
