Yes, this one. Get this one. I’ve been smoking for years and have a fairly high tolerance. One bowl in and I was forgetting that I hated all my coworkers after a really long week. Very nice mix of mellowing the mind and body and allowing one to be a bit social before needing a snack and spacing off. Very glad my wife is bring home pizza as I tired this prior to her coming home.
I'd suggest only smoking this one when you plan on going to bed within 2hrs because no matter what you want it will put you to sleep!
The True Story of ‘Johnny Potseed’ and ‘Frankenstein’ is as follows,
He was born in the late 40s and grew up on family farmland, where a rather large amount of marijuana was grown every year by his grandfather. Enjoying playing and being in the company of the elders while they were working with the various crops, he would toddle alongside them as they worked the rows. At about 3-4 yrs old he wanted to ‘help’ so they gave him a cut-down garden hoe and let him ‘work’ alongside them… at first cutting down more ‘weed’ than weeds, he was patiently taught which ones to look out for and which were unwanted.
His first toke was at the age of 8, sneaking behind the barn with a ‘borrowed’ pipe… and the rest, as they say, is history! In his mid-teens (early 1960s) he started to roam the country, sowing the beautiful plant he loved in any place he found that it might flourish. Also, in a few places that he knew it wouldn’t, but… that was more a gesture of defiance. Like planting on the grounds of the Washington Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial, or any square/park in the centers of many towns across the USA.
All during the 60s and 70s up into the first of the 80s, he wandered the country, planting and sometimes cultivating and harvesting, the sweet leaf. Selling what he grew as well as working different jobs here and there when he needed…
By the mid-70s, because of his nationwide planting practices, he was called Johnny Potseed by many, and the nickname took hold. Becoming considered a ‘Master Grower’ in the Western part of the USA circa mid 70’, he continued to hone his growing/breeding skills.
In the early 80s, he met and married a young lady, who became the mother of 3 great children. When she became pregnant with their first child in the early 80’s he moved from growing outdoors to indoors. After about 20 yrs. in early 2000, there was an accident and he became permanently disabled. So, to have the meds he needed, he decided to breed his own. After taking a while for research, he picked & ordered seeds of 7 strains from the list of top 20 consistent world class strains. Taking 3&1/2 years of very intensive growing and crossing of the strains, and exhaustive log-keeping, and then another year and a half to stabilize and breed true. A total of 5 years of blood, sweat, and tears went into the making of his ideal medicinal/recreational strain, high in both THC as well as CBD. He named it ‘Frankenstein’ after the similar idea of the famous movie monster, having been made from pieces of several men. This blend is one that never grows old and can be smoked daily for years without the user becoming inured to.
He has been known to be the breeder of Frankenstein by many people 'in the know' nationwide ever since it's creation.
The culmination of now over 65 years’ growing/breeding experience, ‘Frankenstein’ was created and now is being shared with the world. Enjoy!
Heavy narcotic indica that'll kick you in the butt and leave you layed out on the couch for hours, looking snacks and the remote. Seattle's Private Reserve, OG Kush x Lavender OG, 80/20 Indica hybrid. Eventually it helps with my insomnia, giving me a good night's sleep. Also tried Live Resin version by Avitas, which seems even more sleep inducing, but not much euphoria. Will buy again.

Just like Grandma's Boy! Good job, Doc!
One of my favorites! Fantastic for managing anxiety and insomnia, super relaxing. I'm a daily user and it's no lie that this strain works hard to get past your tolerance.
Dr Frankenstein who comes up with this kind of stuff anyhow. Works well for me. Heavy stone; potent pungent flowers. Good medical strain IMO for those who need a heavy hitter.
It grows easily; a easy strain for beginners; with outstanding end results.

Loaded some of this flower into a peach blunt and the high was astounding. My high tolerance didn't stand a chance.
