The Purple Candy strain is an Indica-dominant hybrid with a 70/30 ratio of Indica and Sativa in its composition. However, the Indica character dominates in its effects. The THC content averages around 17-20%, so it's a good choice for both novice smokers who want to relax and veteran tokers looking to plunge into the peaceful bliss. Purple Candy weed has interesting genetics. It's a cross between Mendocino Purps and BC Sweet Tooth, and it has Afghani, Nepalese, and Hawaiian roots in its genetics.
I love the colorful look, a unique combo of purple, amber and green sheltered by glittering trichomes. The smell of roses make me hooked and the taste of honey keeps me coming back. Look how Im behaving, happyy and euphoric.

Purple Candy Strain Is a Grape-Flavored Hybrid Named After Our Favorite Candy
The Flavor of the Purple Candy Strain
True to its name, this weed has a candy-like taste. It also carries a recognizable mixture of woody and pine notes, accentuated by an amazing fruit aroma of berries and grapes that can make your mouth water right after the first puff. The smoke from it is palatable and not overwhelming, so you can safely combust it in public without worrying about drawing too much attention to yourself.
The Effects of the Marijuana
This high is relatively slow, and it usually takes up to a few minutes before the weed makes its presence known after it has been toked. As a rule, the effect reveals itself with light pressure around the area of your temples and then spreads further throughout your body, distorting the sense of time. Most often than not, this is the moment when users feel uplifted and have an incredible boost in productivity, which makes it easier for them to concentrate on work or creative projects. Over time, this effect points itself towards physical relaxation, where all you want is to just kick back and relax. Due to these properties, this cannabis is best used on those days when you’ve got no specific plans.
Medical Uses
Just like most other strains, Purple Candy is known for its versatile effect, allowing it to be used not only for pure enjoyment but also for treating medical cannabis patients diagnosed with:
- Arthritis
- Stress
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Numb pains
- Panic attacks
- Headaches
- Insomnia
- Nausea
That being said, it’s worth noting that if a dosage’s been increased, the marijuana can leave you couchlocked, squelching any motivation to get out of your bed and do a thing.

I love the colorful look, a unique combo of purple, amber and green sheltered by glittering trichomes. The smell of roses make me hooked and the taste of honey keeps me coming back. Look how Im behaving, happyy and euphoric.
This is one of those kind of night that the available becomes the desired. I really needed something for my depression and I got Grape valley kush and it was okay but still not on the same level with Purple candy. The smell and taste is still better and brighter.
my group bonged this mj for the better part of Saturday night. It felt good at first but on waking, the headache was bat shit crazy. I could nott not even turn my head without wincing. My movement still not coordinated.
Inability to eat has always been a norm for me, I don’t feel hungry. I just eat little for sustainance but since I started eating these gummy bars, I have been eating more and more recently. I think I have added a few kg.
insomnia is not pretty, everyone is sleeping and all I can do is toss and turn till about 4am. I wake up unrested and grouchy. I started adding some of this weed in my dinner and I manage about 4-5hours of sleep.
It is very useless to use in the day as it makes me lazy and couch locked.
I feel so happy and I don’t get tired of talking and making sensible contributions.
pleasant to smoke
easy and relaxing high
