User Reviews 7
i got tingling sensations in my limbs and head, but that was pretty nice
when vaped it has a noticeable berry flavor
I LOOOve it. When Im back from work I try it and it kicks me back
I was not going to review this strain, but Im a fan of Afghani landrace. The smell is eathy, floral, woody... Breeds with 19-22% thc. This Indica makes me unplifted and relaxed but when these effects melt away, it makes me hit the bed at a high speed lol
it starts with happy and euphoric vibes and ends in an actual high turning me into a sociable and carefree guy. No drowsiness.
one real bad thing about it is dry mouth. so get some ice water but no sugar-filled drinks
I wouldnt recommend usnig it while youre on a diet cause it did make me eat all food in the fridge and order some more in. But Ive addicted to this pot... do you know guys how to stop these munchies?
