I actually totally disagree with the last sentence of the Leafly review. I'm naturally wound way too tight, and have a lot of general anxiety and social anxiety and this stuff is one of my all-time favorite strains because it works so well for both. It's the kind of high that makes you want to do stuff - fun stuff especially - and is one of the only strains that actually makes me want to be social. For me, this strain that has a perfect balance of uplifting cerebral high with just enough body/muscle relaxation. I also have stomach problems causing loss of appetite and nausea and this strain is easily one of the most effective for both. As much as I love this strain, the quality really varies. I bought a cartridge when I was out near Portland, and was blown away. That specific cart is in my personal strain hall of fame. But then I recently bought a Rhythm cartridge at a local NJ medical dispensary and it feels like a completely different strain to me. Some of the same effects, but it feels weak and just kinda nondescript. Absolutely no contest which was WAY better... the west coast cart. Bummer for us east coasters.

This stuff is so fun. It puts me in a good mood, makes me want to be social and talkative, but I'm just as happy hanging out by myself playing my guitar. I bought this randomly at a local dispensary and it immediately went to my personal list of top 10 strains I've ever tried (and I've probably tried ~100 in the past year). It also really helped me when I was dealing with daily nausea due to an ulcer. Tastes and smells awesome too. I went through my first half gram so fast I had to buy another the following weekend, only this time I'm conserving it as much as possible. Definitely a top shelf strain.

I got into the whole ‘strain thing’ earlier in the year and have since spent an absolute fortune on trying anything and everything I could get my hands on, as long as it wasn’t known for causing paranoia/anxiety - that was the main reason I stopped using THC products in general for years - I didn’t know there were strains that were paranoia-free. Now I do, and I think I’ve decided that GSC is my current all-time favorite strain. I play in a band as a lead guitarist but I struggle with stage fright big time - GSC allows me to get on stage, perform confidently and have fun doing it. For me, that in itself is a miracle and I’d give it 5 stars. But it also makes me social and is one of the only strains I’ve tried that instantly numbs that tightness in your chest I get from anxiety, which in turn makes me less anxious in general. It helps numb a lot of other chronic pain too - I have multiple herniated discs in my lower spine and neck and this stuff helps better than any opiate-based medication, and trust me I’ve tried all of them. Other indica-dominant strains can do this for me, but the key with GSC is that it doesn’t make me tired. It’s kind of a miracle medication. I can totally function normally throughout my day. Ironically I would say that’s the only downside (if you can even call it that) - sometimes I wish the high was a little more “fun” and upbeat and motivating - I almost feel too normal. It also gives me the munchies in a BIG way. I already have issues with craving sweets at night, but this stuff can really make me overdo it sometimes. Cotton mouth can be an issue, but small price to pay for all the benefits. As a vaper, I sometimes will mix and match with different strains, and Runtz for whatever reason seems to work really well in tandem with this, especially for performance anxiety/stage fright. All that was a really long way of saying this stuff is amazing and is the one strain I would pick if I could only have one on a deserted island - and it’s a crime they haven’t legalized this as real medicine that can help people everywhere.

What I like about this strain is that it (for me at least) doesn’t get me super “stoned” - I can function completely normally and my head stays clear - but gets me buzzy and gives me motivation to go do things, which I really struggle with sometimes. I wish I got more of the giggly effect that a lot of people mention - maybe I’m just not vaping enough of it - and while it doesn’t make me paranoid per se, it activates my mind a lot in addition to making me introspective, which for me isn’t always a great combo, but it doesn’t happen every time. I wish it had a bit more of a body effect for pain and anxiety, but it’s great overall, just kind of limited in what it offers (IMO) and can give you some mean cottonmouth.
