Granddaddy Purple reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Granddaddy Purple.
A norcal classic. and a beloved staple. sweet candy grape berry notes with hints of earthy spice. the effects are heavy relaxation and euphoric uplift with a spaciness. a great night time or evening strain. taste excellent in a dry herb vape. becareful with this one; it can put you to sleep.
Smell: Very pungent rooted, from the dirt, fresh cut greenery. Reminds me a tad of fresh cut grass with a little earth, maybe a hint of pepper. 3/5
Touch: Cured just about a few days short it felt. Flower is very nuggy and medium to large sized. Thick density but spongy, breaks down into smaller, organized nuggies with little stick to your fingers. Probably works best in a glass piece unless you want to sift or grind for a J or spliff. 4/5
Raw Taste: Soft, unknowingly sweet of piney, sap filled terps, earthy in the best way. Trichomes and pistols hug the senses. 4/5
Smoke: Lights up with no issues, since it breaks down in ballish nugs, it takes longer to grind or sift but is worth the time for a Raw cone. Medium thick, though light enough to control well. Dont take advantage of its good nature however, it WILL make you cough. 4/5
Taste: Straight piney, old school afghany palate feeling on the tongue. Sweet peppery earth with subtle hints of sweet pockets of sugar and berry surprise you often. Over smoking causes dry mouth, have a glass of your favorite thirst quencher handy. 4/5
High: Very heady at first, then it holds in your chest for a little bit, then you realize it's taking hostage any back or joint pain you might have. Slight, but very positive dazy feeling. Absolutely NO PARANOIA, this is the bud that makes your body feel like a La Z Boy and its a good thing. The hybrid part of it makes the Sativa kick in and keep you relatively productive if you wish. Very delicious, delicate at first, then heavy high. 5/5
Overall: This is my go to night timer Indica. The no paranoia with little heavy chest. Flattens any and all pain, and keeps you moving if you want, but you could veg out and mow through some healthy or junkie food, whatever is your thing. Food palate WILL BE amplified. Just a fantastic, beautiful medicine. It WILL always be in my rotating stock. 5/5
Granddaddy Purple is an really exquisite strain. It helps with: Sleeping, anxiety and a bunch of other stuff. If your with friends and just want to have a chill day at home smoking, i really recommend it. But be ready to get hungry because munchies with this particular strain is very strong, also it makes you very sleepy, i fell asleep twice in the span of 3 days smoking this strain, so be vary of that aswell. I give this strain an 9.5 out of 10, the 0.5 reduction is from the very dry eyes and mouth you get plus it made my head hurt a few times.
My wife and I call it “polio weed.” While it may be obvious, I’ll elaborate. After a single hit, my wife was asleep 2 minutes after she laid down. I, on the other hand, the more seasoned veteran, did not fall asleep directly because I was too preoccupied with how to get up and traverse what felt like a mountain of stairs to get to bed. The movie I had started became totally irrelevant. If you’ve ever been to a fair and ridden the Gravitron, you’ll have an idea of what I went through. It was as though my chair was accelerating and I was experiencing G-forces I’d last felt while stuck to the wall of a spinning ufo at the state fair. Time expanded until it was meaningless. I felt like it had been 3 days since I last ate and I needed food badly. I would’ve eaten just about anything but I was too incapacitated to get to the kitchen. I committed myself to the task of getting up and going to bed, but try as I might I was powerless against my already sleeping body. When I finally mustered the strength to do so, my gait was reminiscent of an old leathery drunk. It took what felt like 15 minutes just to make it upstairs. When I finally summited, I wanted to plant a flag on the top step like they do on Mt. Everest. I needed oxygen and was doubtful that I’d make it the final steps into the bedroom and into bed and considered just crashing on the floor at the top of the stairs. Despite my failing muscles I powered through to my objective. I fell asleep almost immediately, neglecting to complete my usual bedtime routine. This stuff was only 18%, but holy hell if felt like a mainline drip of straight thc and morphine. This is definitely a nighttime strain to take seriously. I can only imagine the concern others would have upon seeing a person try to ambulate on GDP in the daytime. My advice: Prepare yourself ahead of time. Gather food, lots of water, go to the bathroom, brush your teeth, put on your pj’s and get to where you want to end up; only then should you partake, because it will hit you like a 2x4 to the forehead and send you reeling into the void. The synapses responsible for controlling your legs won’t work and you’ll walk like you did that one time after a six pack, a couple Jack and Cokes and 6 shots of Jagermeister.
This is an Indica that does all it is supposed to do. With parents like Purple Urkle & Big Bud you can't go wrong. My buds had some purple tint. The smell & taste was of a mild grape/fruit flavor. The inhale & exhale was nice & smooth for me.
PEACE
This is by far the BEST strain I have ever smoked! I had it for the 1st time in CA back in '81, the 1st sticky bud I'd seen & I was flying high. Had it again in PA in flower again & was so high I got lost on my way to the kitchen. It's also a creeper, so start out slow or you too will get lost in your own living room. Just picked up a 4 gm vape of GDP & 3 hits & I'm flying again!
Migraine pain mild; nausea 7 when I medicated round 1930 or so. Takes bout 5 min to start working. Pain/nausea gone. No anxiety/paranoia (must for me). Body high allowed me to eat dinner. Head high heavy like a sleeper. Don't expect to get much done after medicating wit dis one. Great for insomnia. High lasted over 3 hours which was very nice. Highly recommend for nighttime use for pain/nausea/insomnia! :-)
Of all the purple strains to select from, this one is probably my favorite. The nugs I have are dark purple (borderline black)and fluffy and have a hint of spiciness combined with lavender. The high is somewhat mellow & not overpowering. A decent strain for people who tend to get paranoid & anxious when blazing.
