Back In the 80's, had some in michigan, and a small 'j' shared was enough. forgot my problems, and made my main objective a priority, having a drink and chillin' out.
Monkey Paw effects are mostly energizing.
Monkey Paw potency is lower THC than average.
Monkey Paw takes its name from its fingerling buds that resemble the curled paws of primates. It is a fabled old school strain whose roots sprouted in Michigan and has built a solid reputation for itself across the Midwest. This hybrid is a compelling mixture of Acapulco Gold and Colombian Gold sativas that are balanced by Afghani’s indica influence to produce a pungent combination of sweet and fruity flavors. Its aroma is reminiscent of the thick musk of Skunk varieties with sharp notes of zesty citrus that cut the senses. The aftertaste of fresh fruits, like grape and blueberry, serves as precursor to the relaxing effects that calm body pains and stimulate the stomach.

Monkey Paw strain reviews(49)
My new go-to strain. Head-heavy to start, but the body comes on before long. Keeps me going after a long day but lets me sleep great when I’m ready. Other strains are better at handling pain, but this is really helping with seasonal affective disorder. You will want to eat, but it allows an easier-than-normal ability to get past a craving if you’re watching your weight. All-around good medicine. It seems to expand slightly in the lungs, so I find smaller hits easier to keep in without launching into a coughing fit.
Monkey Paw is excellent for pain, excellent for libido, and excellent for having a fun, active time with friends. Those who are prone to anxiety or neuroticism should take care though, as the combined physical, sensory and mental stimulation can hit you from all angles if you're not in the right frame of mind. Lovely leaf-cradled buds and an earthy, citrus aroma with a touch of musk make Monkey Paw a really pleasant smoking experience.
This rare Hybrid strain was a treat. THC level 15%. I first got the sativa effects, making me uplifted & happy. When alone, drifting into deep thoughts. When the Sativa weakens the Indica effects kick in making me very relaxed & even sleepy. Strain gives you two nice separate highs in one! Skunky, citrus, & pine, was the taste & smell i received. The sticky buds were darker green with burnt orange hairs. There is no monkeying around with this strain!!
Has a uniqueness in smell and taste that is pungent, but exotic. Pure Michigan at it's finest with a throwback to old school strains. A must-try if you get the chance!
Just tried it out and it has a very nice taste and is great for my symptoms. I may use sleepy Indica strains during the day, or a stimulating Sativa at night. This is uplifting and helps with depression.
Absolutely insane
Almost like it was custom made for me specifically, great feeling all around, easy to grind but slightly more challenging to pack densely, definitely had some purple in there, impressive and one of the best from Michigan to be honest.
Being a Michigan native this strain was a must grab when I saw it and learned about the history. I can honestly say that it didn’t take long for the high to creep up on me. The pine taste on the inhale and the berry taste of the exhale makes this the perfect smoke. If you ever have the chance to grab it I would HIGHLY recommend.
Smoked a doobie around 10am. Did 1 1/2 hrs of yard work...went in the house and ate a whole Costco chicken then fell asleep on the couch watching TIGER baseball. Awesome strain.
