Mendocino Purps, or Mendo Purps, or even just The Purps, comes out of Mendocino County in Northern California. Winning one of the Top Ten slots in High Times' Strains of the Year in 2007, Mendocino Purps began as a clone-only plant, but BC Bud Depot developed a stable cross to make The Purps seeds available. This cannabis strain grows well both in and outdoors. It can grow 3-4 feet at harvest indoors and 6-8 feet outdoors. Flowering time for this strain is 8-9 weeks. It has medium-thick leaves and green hues that turn more purple as the plant ripens. The taste has been likened to a caramel coffee and woodsy pine.

Smoked a 0.5 gram joint of good quality flower infused with live rosin. Before I was done smoking, a stoney high set in. I am an overly anxious/ADD personality and cannabis takes the edge off some. It’s not a cure all but helps. This is relaxing for me like a close relative like a top shelf GDP. I am chillin’ feeling a little couch lock and love it. As for winding down, I feel focussed but my eyelids are getting heavy. It will be sweet dreams in the PNW tonight.

Got a bag of this from Choklit Park recently and oh my god, life-changing stuff. Been trying to find a new bedtime strain as I deal with chronic pain, migraines, ADHD, autism, the concoction that prevents me from ever having a decent rest. This strain hit me hard, effects were noticable from 5 minutes into a smoke sesh. Feels like someone is giving my scalp, spot between my eyebrows, and my temples a massage that immediately makes me relax. A really nice, euphoric body high that makes it easy for me to melt in bed and go right to sleep, waking up refreshed and ready for the day. I really enjoyed watching hockey games while on this; slows stuff down enough so I can really see how stuff unfolds play-by-play, almost as if it's in slow motion. I have even used it during the day when I'm having particularly bad pain days. I can get shit done, albeit maybe a bit slower, but it's pain free and I'm chill and happy, so definitely not complaining. Really awesome stuff.

Form: 27% THC Michigan grown bud. Consumption route: a freshly cleaned medium size bong. I LOVE Granddady purp and had heard good things about Mendicino purps but had never seen it before, so I super excited to try it. I got a 1/4 of this at The Dude Abides dispensary in Constantine, MI for $30. Visually, the flower is stunning. Deep green with spots of deep purple with red hairs covered in tricomes that make it look like it has a light snow on it. The smell is PUNGENT and earthy as is the delicious taste. In short, one glance at this $h!t will tell you it's top shelf. As for the high, this Indica is definitely strong. I suffer from PTSD and bipolar one. The body high is extremely relaxing. As for the head high, I feel relaxed and spacey. I think this strain would work well for insomnia, pain, and mood disorders. I will be buying more Mendocino purps!

It was perfect nice and had the giggles helped my appetite kept my anxiety at bay as well .I look forward to trying the flower some day .so yes id buy it again,!!!

One of my top 10 strains. It's a 90s throw back for stoners. It's what the boys from Half Baked would have been ripping. Hit's solid out the gate. Not too hard, but you're going to feel it. Settles fairly quickly into a great body high with lots of giggles. Don't be surprised if you snap out and find you were couch locked for 3 hours or so, with the wrappers for $20 of Taco Bell, a half eaten/melted pint of Phish Food and Funions crumbs all over the coffee table and reruns of Ren and Stimpy playing. You're feeling pretty damn good. Be puffin or be passin.

Really good strain for pain & nausea. My nausea went from a 9 with vomiting to a 1 with no vomit. I cant go out rock climbing or run a marathon but I can comfortably eat some light food, hang out in my house and watch some tv while the laundry is going.

I have chronic pain and this strain definitely helps with that. If you’re a light smoker I definitely recommend this for the end of the day. Has one of the best smells I’ve ever smelt from flower. Very very stanky and sticky. The good stuff should have purple and green buds with green leafs.

Bought 1/8 of this limited availability special with 10% THC just out of curiosity to see exactly how important of a role THC content plays. I was very PLEASANTLY surprised that 1/2 of a 0.7 gram joint was just right. Effects weren’t immediate but after a few puffs the first effects began to make themselves known. For me, this strain provided 1. Relaxation without making me tired, drowsy or couch locked. 2. Calming relief from stress & worry. 3. Pretty dang good pain relief for my arthritis, fibromyalgia and diabetic neuralgia. 4. An enjoyable and enlightening session of philosophical but creative thinking. 5. Good relief from my Complex PTSD typical sensory triggers (unexpected sudden noise, high activity environment & crowds or chaos). A testimony that high THC content is not nearly as important as potent terpenes in the end user satisfaction.

Don’t even know where to start with mendo purps, so many medical benefits come out of this strain. I’ve have PTSD and Bipolar Disorder. For those of you familiar with Blue Dream (consistently ranked at the top of the list if not probably the most popular strain in the world to my knowledge) yeaaaa, that’s right yeeeeeaaaa. This shit right here is like taking a Xanax for me. Obliterates your anxiety but in a very clear and uplifting sort of way for a 60/40 indica dominate cross. It really just numbs you out from any worries about the past or the future and is excellent for putting you in the present moment. Very versatile hybrid. More than fair to say I’m agoraphobic, and NOTHING has gotten me over the hump like mendo purps when it comes to saying f*** it dude just do it. What it really helps with in my opinion is that fight or flight feeling. That’s the best way I can put it. Perfect for mood disorders. You shrug off the small things, you’re composed, more aware of your surroundings and simply gives me a higher sense of self worth. Excellent for pain and sleep despite the uplifting affects that can get you through your day. Maybe don’t smoke as much during the day but that’s what a strain like this is about, finding your dose. Shit helps with appetite too gives me munchies up the YOU KNOW WHAT. If you get a chance to grab some of this and you struggle with any of the above, grab it. Supposedly it’s hard to come by but this shit ain’t even weed it’s legit medication
