Granddaddy Purple
11/16/2018
All hail the king of strains for the anxious smoker! Granddaddy purple is a true blessing for those suffering with anxiety, pain, lack of appetite, and insomnia.
I have used both flower and concentrates, however this review will be on flower (the concentrate is just as good, just obviously more potent!) Obtained from Herbs4You in Denver, CO
Upon first opening the container you will notice a wonderful aroma of what I call grape and citrus with very subtle notes of pine (If 'purple' had a smell...this would be it). Simply put, the aurora of this strain is simply amazing.
The buds are typically densely packed with beautiful trichomes and orange hairs layered in a beautiful coat of resinous crystals.
As for the high, GDP for me typically has a fairly quick cerebral onset, but it is calming and soothing rather than racey. After about 15minutes the heavy sedating Indica effects start to take hold. Your mind stops racing, your cares start to slip away, the pain melts from your body, and you are left in utter and compete bliss.
This strain will be VERY dose dependent though as it can be heavily sedating. GDP is often used at night, but it can be used by experienced smokers throughout the day if consumption is monitored.
Overall GDP gets a 10/10 from TheAnxiousSmoker for all those suffering from pain and anxiety disorders!
