I would have liked a stronger buzz. The pain relief, however, is phenomenal. Multiple old injuries are far less noticeable. The description is spot on.
This strain worked well for me. I had a Raw Cone of it before sitting down to write a paper. My normal anxiety (PTSD symptom) flares up when I have to write. After a session with the Sweet Isle, I was able to produce a quality paper and everything just flowed with the quiet it gave my mind.
The first thing I notice with this was a good head rush followed by a strong nervous system response. This was a great strain for going to sit on the beach and just connecting with the wind and waves.
GSC is easily in my top 3. I felt relaxed and mellow while still being functional. It helped with slowing the rapid fire thought process of PTSD. And, as an added bonus, I slept soundly through the night afterwards.
I got a bit of this recently and tried it with the lady. The flavor was mellow as was the buzz from it. It definitely helped quiet the negative thoughts from PTSD but, my paranoia in crowds was definitely heightened. This is more of a go walk in the woods weed for me.
