The buds themselves already smell like butterscotch. Thats amazing. Although this doesnt provide potent high, I still enjoyed this strain. Since I suffer from insomnia, I loved the sedative effects of this strain. One of the highlights according to leafly.

Being a medical strain, I didnt think I would enjoy this cannabis much. But it has a surprisingly wonderful sweet taste and aroma that made me feel relaxed. In fact, I was so relaxed that I got knocked out right after.
