I have bad anxiety and this made it all go away. Feel a little bit sleepy but just vegged out and played video games. Feel at peace for once.

This is my absolute all-time favorite strain. The taste is great, the effects are timeless. So much relaxation and stress relief. From someone with daily anxiety, this strain helps me relax and stop overthinking every little detail of my life. IMO this is the King of Indica.

This is a strain that is so widespread with so many phenotypes that I will review the most common type I’ve had even if that may not be the strongest or the best phenotype I’ve had. They grow a lot of this in Texas as it is a strain that is quite acclimated to the climate and conditions both indoor and outdoor in the region south and southwest of Houston. Many Pakistani and Afghani strains fare extremely well out here including in outdoor environments. The result is a plethora of phenotypes of this strain with certain variations being more common and occurring more frequently than others. Appearance: variable; can range from dark purple to light purple to completely green (no purple). There are orange stigmas present with regularity along with a dusting of white trichomes with a small percentage being yellowish. This is definitely some dense flower bud that has full rounded floret clusters that provide for a, ‘chunky’ appearance. In terms of tactile sensation, this can vary as well: I’ve had phenotypes that were sticky, that were trichome-laden, that were both and that were neither (yet that flower bud was still at least up to the standard, average GDP). Note: the best GDP I ever had was completely green (no purple). Smell: definitely linalool and myrcene present. There is a mild skunkiness that is put out occasionally by these flower buds which may spread an aroma into an area, but this may not necessarily occur. The traditional smell of, ‘purple’ shines through, and I would consider this strain as one of the more, ‘baseline’ strains secondary to its widespread and persistent availability over the course of the years. Hence, this smell is more of a, ‘characteristic’ or, ‘signature’ sort of template upon which other later strains have their aromatic profiles based on. There is definitely the smell of honey present as well, and some varieties have a clear aroma of CBD present whereas others do not seem to possess this trait so much or at all. Taste: the first word that comes to mind on the initial intake – purple. There may be a harshness and slight kick to the throat on inhalation as well as exhalation. Personally, I cannot vouch so much for the taste of this flower upon inhalation or exhalation of the combusted fumes. It comes off as an earthy, nutty and savory umami taste, with the purple flavor, that just gives one a sense of having had bitten into a chicken breast or a tender, light steak. I think… I prefer something else for the profile of my combusted Cannabis fumes… (not a fan of the taste of meat mixed with purple-variety Cannabis when partaking in a flower meant to highlight aromatic floral high-quality vegetation). Note again: that best GDP I ever had that was all green? Tasted like linalool with a light skunkiness as opposed to the harsher, more earthy and umami GDPs that are commonly available. Effect: the immediate effect is calming. There may be a little bit of raciness initially while intaking, but this can be transient and may be attributable to the THC content (or activating variations thereof). Further intake segués into clear body relaxation with onset of numbing effects and potentially mental clearing. Heavier doses can endow one with a sense of even deeper relaxation, more marked numbness in the body and possibly head, alterations in time perception (which some people have attributed to INCREASED work efficiency – hm, is this why Texas grows so much of this?) and the ability to fall asleep faster and easier. I avoid other terminology as this is, honestly, not necessarily the strongest strain I’ve ever had. Overall: tired of this strain. Yes, it has many beneficial and therapeutic effects, but I’ve just had too much, and the average GDP is, well, not really that strong unless it is a specific phenotype or cared for as Craft Cannabis. I’m not against this strain, but whenever this is the only option as per the procurers’ availability of stock I’ve had access to in the recent years, I’m typically disappointed. Would I buy this strain again? You’ve gotta’ have one hell of a phenotype to catch my attention… Recommend to Connoisseurs and Sommeliers? For a specific condition or purpose. Otherwise, no. Recommend to first-timers and/or inexperienced consumers? Absolutely. Go ham with this one. You could plough through an eighth of this with one or two other people, even if novice, and still be in complete control even if relaxed, calm and amenable towards initiating sleep (I don’t know about maintaining sleep as certain times I myself, and maybe others, may have woken up earlier in the morning than expected; effects on stage 3 and stage 4 vs. R.E.M. sleep?).

This is by far ONE of my fav. Not only the taste but the way you feel afterwards if like brand new. Nothing but smiles and happy energy coming from me after having a sit down with the good old GrandDaddy Purp sometimes goes by the names Purpalex flower or indicol L & Amethyst Di dnt think I'd be as satisfied as I am with this GEM from mother nature. I don't think anyone has anything bad to say about it
