perfect as a nighttoke, say goodbye to your stress and pain
the smoke goes straight to my brain and wipes away stress, anxiety, insomnia
I prefer this mj in a joint or blunt to highlight its earthy flavor, the buzz is smooth and relaxing
Alien Kush is a classic indica weed with myrcene as prevailing terpene. Its really good, relaxes every muscle of my body.
the taste out of vaporizer is awesome: earthy, herbal, pine, tea.
If you need high myrcene and linalool levels, this cannabis is just what the doctor ordered! What can be better of blissful euphoria paired with nice body high? I know that after smoking Ill have careless sleep with sweet dreams. Highly recommend this st
Acted quite quickly and caused pleasant numbing feelings throughout the body, certainly stimulates appetite. Kept me in the clouds but I was happy and uplifted. It tremendously helped me with sleep issues.
it gives real munchies, stock your fridge before trying this pot
Me and my friend made a bowl with Alien Kush. It really hit me so I felt extreme fatigue after smoking but it wasnt even the end of the sesh. I was so tired that couldnt function. Is it a typical effect of this mj? Mine was only 12%thc.
