Made me sleep really well last night, but the effects during the high boil down to mostly a foggy brain. Doesn’t help my pain (especially not nerve pain) and is overall not my favorite of highs, especially alone or during the day, but no particularly unsavory effects, thankfully.

When I first tried this one it wasn't my favorite, as it doesn't do much for me recreationally. However, I have since discovered that it is a godsend for neuralgia. I have nerve pain secondary to endometriosis and other chronic pain conditions, and when it started up yesterday afternoon I had a few hits of a cartridge of this and my nerve pain was gone. I thought it was maybe a coincidence, as nerve pain tends to just come and go for me, but when the Purple Kush started wearing off an hour or two later, the nerve pain started up again until I had a few more hits. This is pretty much the only strain I've tried so far that helps my pain without couch-lock. Most other strains require a pretty substantial amount to be useful for pain relief, but getting just barely high on this was enough for this strain to get rid of my nerve pain. I just came off of Lyrica, and have previously been on gabapentin, and this is equally helpful compared to both of those and has a comparable amount of side effects (dizziness is a problem for me with all three, but that's also a symptom I have to begin with). However, I can use this as needed (unlike Lyrica and gabapentin), which means I only have to deal with side effects when it's actually helping my pain instead of 24/7. I'll have to try this in other forms, too. Super helpful medicinal strain. Glad I gave it another shot.

i need to come back to this one again and try it, but my overall impression is that it’s a good summery daytime strain. makes me a little sad when i use it at night, but it would be great for an afternoon outside. didn’t super help with pain or intense emotion, but helped some with the apathy part of depression as well as with stress

didn’t think it was going to be at first, but this is a staple strain of mine. give it a few tries before you make up your mind about it. good for depression/anxiety/intense emotion, kind of levels that out without much apathy. helped a little with my pain, and overall just makes me feel good and happy. i like to combine this with skunk ape when i’m having a rough time with pms or trauma, and it makes it a lot more manageable.

this is a staple strain of mine. great for anxiety and depression as well as sleep, but not fantastic for daytime use/productivity. causes the munchies and makes me a little giggly, and i’m not too terribly forgetful on this strain. didn’t super help with my pain, though

need to try again, bought a pre-roll of this and i’m not sure i have a full grasp of the effects yet. excellent stand-alone strain but also good in combination. good for munchies and bein giggly, and best at night (but probably would also be good in the late afternoon).

*as of 5/20/22–may change later, have not yet finished my eighth. i can’t decide how i feel about this strain. it makes me giggly and happy but also a little irritable, and that irritability quickly morphs into general low mood given the wrong circumstances. however, this is almost entirely rectified by the addition of another strain (member berry is good for this). not super functional on this strain and mildly anxious, so not my favorite for daytime. it is definitely conducive to getting stoned outta your gourd, though. helpful for feeling hopeless/apathetic but not so much for mood swings/intense emotion. by itself, 2/5, but with other strains, 4.5/5, so i’m averaging to 3/5.

non-intoxicating but relaxing, so it feels like sober me put on rose-colored glasses. fantastic both by itself and with other strains, and for daytime and nighttime use, but when i use it it’s generally by itself in the daytime. mildly helpful for inflammation, not helpful for headache, and definitely helpful for stress/mood (although it wasn’t super helpful for irritability or anxiety, and didn’t do a whole lot for depression). however, i think it would be great for depression or anxiety in combination with either skunk ape or do-si-dos (which i’ll probably try today)
