A little heady, no couch lock, pain, and anxiety relief. This strain just makes me feel good. Which is not an easy feat. I have RA, Myositis, and fibromyalgia. So needless to say, I am always in pain. I have good days and bad, but I always have a varying level of pain. I also have PTSD, and I am usually on high alert. This just mellowed me out and took all the pain away. My hands weren’t swollen and tight either like they used to be. I could actually enjoy life. It does have a few minutes of a derpy stupor in the beginning, but then I’m all set to conquer the world. Or maybe just the laundry, but still. I feel fantastic with this. The only downside is, I can totally feel when it starts to wear off. First, in my knees, I’ll feel pain. Then it just works its way all over. My hands and feet started to swell back up, and my mood started to shift. It’s probably a good 3 to 4 hours of relief, but man does it suck when it wears off. Kind of reminds you how much pain you’re really in, emotionally and physically. I’d stay high 24/7 if I could. I’d be able to go back to work because this is definitely a functional high. For most people, this will probably make you sleepy. If you have an anxiety issue and/or are always on high alert, like me, you probably won’t get sleepy. Just relaxed to a “normal” state. Also, I actually took this because I was feeling nauseous, and it happened to be next to me. So it works for that too. Does give a bit of dry mouth.

This can either be an all-time favorite or your worst enemy. My thought, and I could be wrong, is that it enhances whatever emotional feeling you’re having at the time. So this could be an amazing strain for anxiety and depression *IF* you take it at the right time. So like, if you’re in the right mindset, you will have an amazing experience. Joyful, giggly, energized, focused, creative, and ready to go conquer the world. I don’t feel pain after using this either, but it does make me take about a five-minute chill. So you might want to factor that in if you're going to work. It's nothing huge. It's like, I could fall asleep if I wanted, but I don’t really feel tired. Just vegetative, I guess. After that, it’s go go go. Clear-headed, pain and anxiety free, and ready to get ish done. Now, if you’re in the wrong mindset all those amazing feelings can be pushed aside. My anxiety went through the roof maybe 30 minutes into go go go when I tried to leave my apartment. All because the neighbor was downstairs and she’s… she has issues. And even the thought of being confronted by her put me into a bad space. My heart was racing, I started to sweat, my mouth went dry, I had that horrid jumpy “I’ve had too much coke” feeling. (You know, with all that caffeine and sh!t.) I literally felt that impending doom feeling rush over my body. It went away quickly, as I met up with friends, and my mind went elsewhere. However, that can be the worst feeling ever, and sometimes not an easy one to push aside. So word to the wise: smoke this when you’re good, and with good people. You'll love it!

I can’t recommend this strain enough for anyone that has depression or anxiety. I have seizures, PTSD, and major depression. I’m not very experienced in this world, but not a newbie. I did, however, have a bad experience with a new concentrate that put my heart out of rhythm and me in the hospital. So needless to say, I am beyond anxious when it comes to partaking. So much so that I sometimes have panic attacks before I can even use. The irony behind a cure for my anxiety sometimes causing more anxiety is not lost on me. Anyway, this one here doesn’t give me any of the heart flutters or hand jitters. None of the paranoia or racing thoughts. In fact, I don’t get any stereotypical high effects. I get a wave of clarity. Like all of a sudden, a rush comes over me and it’s like everything is in ultra 4K. Everything becomes light. Visually and weirdly physically. I didn’t feel altered though. I felt like myself before was the altered state and I was now unaltered. It’s almost like you don’t realise you’ve been going through your foggy life with a weighted blanked and blinders on. The best way to describe it would be, for that period, you’ll know what life without anxiety and depression is like. It’s a bittersweet feeling though because you can feel it wear off. Slowly you feel the weight of the world bearing down on you. I felt my face scrunch up. My shoulders and neck got tight. It felt like someone grabbed and twisted the inside of my head, like a piece of fabric. When I started questioning every little thing is when smoked some GG4 and went to bed. Seriously Ice Cream Man is the best “medical” high I’ve ever had. This would be great for before work or events where you have to be functional.
