Dark Star effects are mostly calming.
Dark Star potency is higher THC than average.
Dark Star, also known as "Darkstar," is an indica marijuana strain. Dark Star’s effects are as spacey as its name suggests: a deep, relaxed sensation throughout the body accompanied by a heavy cerebral calm. Though celestial in its effects, the strain is more likely homage to the Grateful Dead’s song “Dark Star.” A cross between Purple Kush and Mazar-I-Sharif, this dark, almost bluish strain was first bred indoors by T.H. Seeds.

Dark Star strain reviews(290)
The strain gave me the opposite of relaxed but in the best positive connotation. Its flavor was mysterious for me for a while; it seemed like the airhead you eat that was “???” Flavor but less sweet and more seasoned it seemed. The woody flavor kinda reminds me of the husk of a watermelon or cantaloupe. You’ll also have the season taste i mentioned before complementing that taste like it’s a pepper in an already delicious dish.
This review was written with not only the THC strain being Dark star but it was also paired with psylopsybin so the flavor I’m describing could be incredibly different to how it taste alone without mushrooms
If you know the tune, you know this strain is worthy of the name. this is everything I want an indica to be: it's spacey, sedating, heavy, and expansive... come to think of it that's also everything I want a Dark Star to be 😉⚡💀🌹
"Shall we go, you and I while we can?
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds"
I had quit cannabis back in 4/20/2023 (yes on 4/20). I had been consuming too much and spending too much on it. I wanted to go a full year. But 6 months in, i went through a family tragedy and was finding myself super depressed and taking trazedone to fall sleep. I didn’t want to do that and decided to try cannabis again. I looked up several indicas and found this sounded like the best option for someone now only wanting it to help me fall asleep at night.
I’m basically taking three or four hits when I lay down in bed for the night.
This strain works wonders for that. My wife snores, and it gets bad enough that I’ll leave the room to sleep in the spare because it’s so loud.
With this strain? I just fall asleep, didn’t and don’t even hear the snoring now.
This strain is great for relaxing and will help elevate insomnia imo. I slept so well for the first time in a couple months.
I have it in cartridge form. If you want to relax and have a goodnight sleep, try this strain
