Granddaddy Purple reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Granddaddy Purple.
Made me feel better than usual!
All hail the king of strains for the anxious smoker! Granddaddy purple is a true blessing for those suffering with anxiety, pain, lack of appetite, and insomnia.
I have used both flower and concentrates, however this review will be on flower (the concentrate is just as good, just obviously more potent!) Obtained from Herbs4You in Denver, CO
Upon first opening the container you will notice a wonderful aroma of what I call grape and citrus with very subtle notes of pine (If 'purple' had a smell...this would be it). Simply put, the aurora of this strain is simply amazing.
The buds are typically densely packed with beautiful trichomes and orange hairs layered in a beautiful coat of resinous crystals.
As for the high, GDP for me typically has a fairly quick cerebral onset, but it is calming and soothing rather than racey. After about 15minutes the heavy sedating Indica effects start to take hold. Your mind stops racing, your cares start to slip away, the pain melts from your body, and you are left in utter and compete bliss.
This strain will be VERY dose dependent though as it can be heavily sedating. GDP is often used at night, but it can be used by experienced smokers throughout the day if consumption is monitored.
Overall GDP gets a 10/10 from TheAnxiousSmoker for all those suffering from pain and anxiety disorders!
Has a distinctive but subtle taste. The colors of the buds can be amazing.
I smoke GDP occasionally for chronic pain, fibromyalgia, migraines, muscle spasms, insomnia and PTSD. I would recommend this strain for medical issues only and for evening or nighttime use, as it is heavily sedating. Best medical strain I have used.
Today, for the first time, I tried GDP. nice berry taste.Definately a two-hitter-quitter, so I took 3 , I love it.
crazy munchies
From someone with chronic sleep issues, this strain is the only thing I've ever tried in my life that puts me to sleep, keeps me out, and allows me to wake up without any adverse effects. It's going to slow you down, with a body high as huge as the head high, it just sort of puts you in a "blanket". I've never tried GDP during the day, but I can't imagine it's useful beyond forcing a nap if you need to - it's that good. Definitely a night time strain, don't expect to be the life of the party... unless the party is in your head and doesn't require you to move or have in-depth conversations with people!
GDP tastes very sweet, big grape and berry flavors consistently.
I have heard Black Mamba is similar, but with more intense body effects, and allegedly BETTER for sleep than GDP. I look forward to finding out for myself!
Beautiful. Tastes nice, feels nice. Kind of an even split between head and body. I'm LOVING the peace I feel right now. I'm going to bed so comfortable.
