I think this strain would be good for beginners. Very chill, not too much to handle.
I had high hopes for this strain from the description -- I like me my upbeat, happy, non-racy "functional" buds. But I found this strain curiously "meh." The high had very little character -- it was just a feeling of being high. Not fun, not chill -- just "under the influence of THC." More than anything else, it reminded me of the effects of THC transdermal patches and the like that don't even pretend to include terpenes or an interesting mix of cannabinoids. If there's such a thing as a boring high, this was a boring high. I'm obviously a person who likes effects with distinct characteristics besides "stoned"--Jack H's happy, calm, startling clarity; the unexpected spiritual feel of Hindu Kush (ohhmmm); the goofy giggles I get from GSC; the "Whoah, I just vaped a Harrier jump-jet" that is Jet Fuel. Others may find this "evenly balanced"--my take was more, "Well, it's not an indica, and it's not a sativa. It's just weed." Honestly, I was relieved when it wore off, not because it made me paranoid or anxious or tired but just because I don't like being altered except if it's enjoyable. OTOH, it seems to float other people's boats, so it might float yours.
Works great on my headaches, tastes sweet and earthy but in a good way. Will be my go to for catching an onset prior to migraine...
It made my skin look younger. Carson started floating. It made me feel like I was back in high school again. My friend stole my nose.
Worked really well for my anxiety and restlessness. It’s an extremely relaxing strain, even though it doesn’t have a particularly strong body high (does kick in a bit later on). It goes “straight to the head” but not like a shot of espresso; more like a couple of calming chamomile. It is potent though, even at 18% thc. Smells like deliciously gassy cherries, quite pungent, and the taste follows suit but is sweeter.

Honestly, I tried this because I was sort of desperate and this was the only high THC strain my dispensary had that doesn’t ramp up anxiety (per previous reviews). Let me tell you, I’m thankful! This is a really tasty flower with a light, happy high that still left me able to tackle my to-do list while relaxed and pain free.
This strain is smooth and does not cause as much as coughing as other strains. It helps you become more aware of your surroundings without being paranoid. The taste and smell is sweet, which is a plus!
Absolutely fabulous. For ME it was a nice smooth smoke, no cough. (Rare for me) I use to deal with my severe back pain. Some strains work better than others. This really helped me.
