I get this provided to me by my medical provider I use it in the vape I've only ever tried in the vape I find it if I have on it too much at high temperature it chokes me up and I get a really quick fast buzz if I smoke it out the low temperature seems I got a puff more and the bus takes a lot longer But for me I found out it mean to be feel Talkative, Made me feel like I was kind of hallucinating but I wasn't, and then an instant feeling like I wanna go to sleep I like it for the great body buzz
Well, still in growing phase, I feel as I read some literature on it, its getting to the end, if I understand correctly. The plants are starting the budding phase but they are short, very short. They should be twice as tall. Dud anyone elses come out short? Anyone know why?
your lights are they on 18 hours? grow indoor or outdoor
I've been fighting very high blood pressure. After trying pineapple express my blood pressure dropped significantly
works wonders for women) it helps eliminate my PMS pain when Im on my circle
the strain is said to be very powerful (23% thc). To prevent negative outcome, I just make several puffs lol. Thats enough for me and I really feel a burst of creativity. Can help if you have urgent work to finish.
one of the most famous strains. I prefer an indica-dominant hybrid. With Pineapple Express, Im always in a ready-to-do things mood lol. My wife finds it very ridiculous)
it doesnt smell like pineapple for me, yeah its sweet with a bit of citrus and pine but def not a pineapple
I will always recommend this bundle of goodness if you are looking for something to make you smile, relieve stress and make you forget your worries, even if its momentarily. You could never go wrong here.
love this great kush. I enjoy the pineapple flavor although it has a hint of earthly aroma. It makes me aroused. I especially love smoking this weed when I want to have sex. It makes the whole experience worthwhile.
That review reminds me of Barney's Wedding Cake. Makes me feel 'arny, as Bob Marley said.
I experienced a gruesome robbery scene in my teens. I have been traumatized ever since. I can not go out alone and Im constantly scared. Around this period, a friend encouraged me to take a drag or two. I felt calm and at peace.
Pineapple express is my top choice for pain relief. I was involved in an accident and even after discharge I was always in pain. But it all started becoming better when I stated vaping this kush. Now the pain is mild and bearable.
I decided to give this pot a try since nothing was working for my depression. I was surprisingly elated at how my mood was lightened and it is great at stress reliever just as indicated on leafly
This bong is really calming. It unburdens me and removes any stressors on my heart and my health. It takes away whatever ruins my peace of mind hence keeps hypertension away from me.
Joint pain makes life uncomfortable and reduces the quality of life. This weed has helped to curb my joint pain. I can go about my daily activities with very little limitations.
The taste was a bit bland but not in a bad way. The effects kicked in pretty quickly.
I know a lot of strains makes one relaxed and fogginess usually follows. With this hemp I can be sure of creativity in a relaxed state
Being focused is one of the main reasons I often vape this earthy goodness.
personally this strain aint for me. The pineapple flavor is okay but I do not just like the effect.
Doing yoga is relaxing and calming spiritually. I enjoy yoga more after vaping this dope. It makes the experience more everything.
Liking the pineapple aroma and the underlying apple freshness
makes me thirsty
relaxing dope
Best pineapple aroma ever
my personal happiness kush
Long lasting energetic buzz
Pineapple taste as one would expect. A great strain for anxiety and stress. It has a good amount of THC and first puff will most likely get you high for a while. A good appetite booster although I wouldn’t go for it as the first option.
Nice smelling bud didn’t do much for my chronic pain. It made me feel happy, chatty, and friendly and stimulated my appetite. It didn’t help much with insomnia. I think there are better strains out there.
When you hear of a creeper then think about pineapple express. It has a slow building high but a few puffs and it knocks you down. If you combine it with another stronger strain you will be crawling to bed. I am not very impressed with pineapple express but I am kinda high, but I would choose better strains like Sour Diesel.
Such a fun strain with a strong and energetic creative high. I like using this strain whenever I am performing.
this mmj leaves your mind unfocused and spacey but gives the body an perfect euphoria.
Good choice for a summer day in the beach or when going for a hike with pals.
Hard buds, happy high, and a mood booster. Pineapple express is a true sativa.
The taste and smell are untouchable and the high is euphoric. Leaves your mind and body at ease.
For anyone who loves an amzing euphoric sativa this is the strain for you.
Forget your favorite movie, this strain is worth much more than that. The best strain I have ever smoked.
I just got a gram of pineapple express and I must say that it such a quick mood booster.
to much side effects for me((
Reliable strain to make things better.
ahmaziiing strain, makes life easier.
Oh my god! I absolutely love it!
One of the top Sativas available.
Dopest dope ever smoked.
