It gets you super high, but for me, it's burn the s**t out of my throat after about 10-15 minutes.
But leaves you in a nice daze.

Good smoke.
Just took a bong rip and I'm feeling airy & light, and definitely feel the "headband" effect - which is interesting.

I'm mixing this with Green Crack and tends to be a good combo.
Very awesome.

Amazing bed time bud.
Puts you in a very sleepy / relaxed state, so don't plan anything too extravagant when smoking this.
Delicious flavor with a hint of grape.

Green Crack, also known as "Green Crush" and "Mango Crack,"&nbsp;is a potent <a href="https://www.leafly.com/strains/lists/category/sativa">sativa</a>&nbsp;marijuana strain made by crossing <a href="https://www.leafly.com/strains/skunk-1">Skunk #1</a> with an unknown indica. This strain is beloved by many consumers for its <a href="https://www.leafly.com/strains/lists/effect/energetic">energizing effects</a>. But don’t let the name fool you: this is pure cannabis. Few strains compare to Green Crack’s sharp energy and focus as it induces an invigorating mental buzz that keeps you going throughout the day. With a tangy, fruity flavor redolent of mango, Green Crack is a great daytime strain that may help consumers fight fatigue, stress, and depression. Because the name "Green Crack"&nbsp;perpetuates a negative image of cannabis, some people have taken to calling this strain Cush (with a ‘C’) or Green Cush instead.
