so far I’ve only had this in a “mini vape” from AGL here in CT and would really love to try the bud when it becomes available (their mini vape really doesn’t hit as well as Curaleaf slims or vape cartridges unfortunately) but I’m loving this strain. I’ve been using it almost exclusively for the last 2-3 weeks as my nighttime strain, it’s very relaxing, happy feeling, and a few hits gets me drifting off to sleep fairly quickly. I’ve never had issues falling asleep but I wake up a lot/am restless and have nightmares (PTSD) but with Banana OG I sleep through the night or if I do wake up, it’s really brief and I fall back asleep really fast. this is a really great medicine to try if you have insomnia, PTSD related symptoms.

Newly offered in CT by Curaleaf as Onyx, testing at 21% THC and a notable % of caryophyllene at just over 3%. I usually go for sativas and hybrids over indicas but this is a great indica! I don’t find it to be a hard hitter and I haven’t experienced ANY anxiety/paranoia— maybe because my bud has a lower THC percentage than others here have gotten and/or due to the terps (caryophyllene is said to combat anxiety and depression). so whatever the reason, I find it to give a very clear, focused, uplifted and bright head high with a relaxing body high (w/o hard couch lock!) like others have said. it doesn’t make me tired really so I can see it being good for daytime use. after a few hits my eyelids start feeling all heavy, like everything on my body is just relaxing into itself. if you enjoy Sour Diesel don’t pass this up. it’s a really good strain for others with anxiety, depression and PTSD to try, even if you usually gravitate to sativas and hybrids like I do.

This is a pretty potent sativa, if you’re a newbie or just have a low tolerance, hit it light. I get a good, long high with this even taking light hits off my vape pen. I’ve found it very focused, it’s a good strain to use if you really need to concentrate/focus on something or get something done during the day. Energetic & uplifting, not one I would reach for if I wanted to just chill and take it easy. I typically like sativas that aren’t as heavy hitting as this, but it’s a good medicine if you’re looking for a strong sativa for daytime use, have a high tolerance, or need a good burst of energy. With low doses I don’t experience any anxiety with this, which is always a plus.

I’m really impressed with this strain! 😍 I’m smoking AGL’s Hybridol F, the bud is densely coated with creamy looking crystals. It smokes very smoothly and I felt my mind quickly enveloped in calm and any negatively just melted away. While very calming and relaxing, it also kept me alert and focused, which is something I really like and am always looking for in strains I want to keep in regular rotation. I smoked this over a few hours and it never got to be too much, it’s relaxing in the body as well without any couchlock. I noticed it brought and seemed to keep my heart rate down too— I didn’t feel even a hint of anxiety with this strain. This is going to be a good strain to smoke in social settings for sure. I love these strains that just make you feel happy and witty and fun and this is one of them. I usually like to smoke a strain a few times before I review it but this one is such a standout and has everything I look for to medicate for PTSD. It may earn a spot with my current top favorites, Strawberry Cough and Blue Dream. Highly recommend this to both new and experienced users, especially for those with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or anyone who just craves a calming, focused relaxation. It’s like an instant antidepressant and benzo in one bowl.

This strain just recently hit the dispensary in a Curaleaf slim as Indigo. I was excited to try it after being told the real name at the dispensary (come on and update the database Dabbin Dad!) since it seems like you can never go wrong with a Blueberry strain. This didn’t disappoint me. It brings a focused, uplifting head high with a really relaxing body high that’s not too heavy. I can see this being a good one for pain. I hit this slim pretty good all night and didn’t experience any anxiety, it really is a great hybrid that brings a comforting body high without couch lock and a nice side of cerebral euphoria.

Smoking Pineapple Fields (Zainavir) prerolls from Theraplant. At first this one didn’t stand out to me particularly— it’s a slightly cerebral high with just enough focus to get some things done, curbs depression, gets you feeling a little talkative and silly. Then I realized this strain (to me) feels just like how the high was when I first started smoking when I was younger. It’s hard to overdo it with this and it’s a great social strain to have and pass around with friends. Recommended for new users since it won’t hit hard and doesn’t induce anxiety. This will be great for those times you just feel like hanging out and not doing anything that takes a lot of mental energy and want to get a nice creative buzz going.

I love this strain, it’s my go-to nighttime strain as I find it more indica dominant. I use a vape pen from CT Pharm, CT code name (🙄) Fioraden D. Dosing low it’s consistently a very chill and mellow high. I usually don’t have any issues with anxiety with this, except once when I got a really big hit off my pen, the resulting high was intense and had me bugging a little bit until I fell asleep. So for newbies I recommend dosing low n slow with this to find that sweet spot. Besides that, it’s a great nighttime smoke to curl up and relax with and after a while it will pull me right into sleep.

This is a great strain for just melting the stress away. I’m smoking AGL’s Hybridol R flower in CT at 26% THC. The smell is a little like gasoline but I like it. I haven’t experienced any anxiety or paranoia with this strain, at least at lower doses, which is really important to me. It’s equally good for getting things done during the day and being alert as well as just relaxing at night. It leaves me feeling uplifted and happy and silly. This is a great strain for anyone medicating for anxiety, depression, PTSD. I’ve also smoked AGL’s Sativarin E which is GG#4 x Do Si Dos. I love this strain as well and the effects are extremely similar to GG#4. If you missed GG#4 (it seemed to go from the dispensary pretty fast), this hybrid is definitely one to pick up if you’re looking to relieve depression and anxiety.

In the couple months since I’ve had my medical card, this has become one of my favorite strains. I’ve definitely had it in the past but could never keep track of what I had and just smoked pretty large amounts of whatever was around, so back then nothing really stood out to me. Now that I’m medicating for PTSD I’m really picky and specifically seek out strains for stress relief and that don’t deliver a super heady high in a short amount of time. In CT I have this in a slim from Curaleaf (it’s called Scarlett here). I find it has similar effects to Blue Dream, another one of my favorites. I can’t speak for higher amounts cause I dose low n slow (stopped smoking for a long time and I’m still building my tolerance back up), a couple sips on the slim vape is enough to relax my mind while still feeling alert and motivated to move around. It’s a nice relaxing high without feeling hazy. I don’t experience any anxiety or paranoia with this strain. My mind just feels so damn good, like it’s wrapped in a warm comforting blanket. This should be a staple strain (along with BD) if you’re looking to treat anxiety, PTSD, or depression. I’m really looking forward to trying ‘Scarlett Rainbow’ (SC x CBD) when it comes up in the dispensary here.

Nice fruity lemon smell and it tastes so good. aka Biscay in CT. I just took a hit of this and did a short workout, I’m listening to music and even this BS I got on my playlist like Asia sounds soooo good. This is gonna be a good one for daytime use, small dose doesn’t get you too hazy but man, I feel really great!
