| CBD | 0.53 - 0.86% | Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a major compound in cannabis, which is non-psychoactive. It is also proved to counteract the side effects of the second major component THC.

| CBN | 0.05 - 0.17% | Cannabinol, or CBN, is a trace element in cannabis that is considered to be mildly psychoactive. It appears from oxidation THC, exposed to light and heat.

Valencene offers citrusy, sweet aromas, with flavors having notes of oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, and, occasionally, fresh herbs or freshly cut wood.

After smoking Purple Gorilla we got crazy muchies and feasted like unfed baby chimpanzees LOL
its stress relieving hybrid 50/50, citrus, earthy, with skunky notes, 18%thc in my pack
I got a vaporizer and a PG cartridge. I had good time and good laugh. I felt careless like a baby. Makes me mellow, sedated, and happy. A pleasant way for winding out a hard and stressful day. The smoke is smooth with herbal scents. LOVE it.
This after-work strain is worth checking out. Once I tried it at a party and it really hooked me. Just a few tokes give a complete body relaxation. No heart pounding or racing thoughts. I know that when my head touches a pillow, Ill fall asleep immediate
I love this weed. I love the aroma. I love the after taste. I love the way the effect builds up and then boom…it is almost as good as getting a delayed orgasm.
My Gran used to have chronic pain in her left knee. This affected her ability to move but she hated drugs. When I put some weed in her porriage, she felt better. Now she can walk around more to nag us…lol
I have been suffering from insomnia right from childhood and it became worse in recent year. Suprisingly, after taking a joint of Purple gorilla I slept like I was in the bossom of angels.
First time I tried this weed, it was glorious. The effects comes on slowly and before you are floating before you realize it.
it is readily available because of its low CBD level which makes it safe
my eyes were dry when I took this kush. I was very dizzy and I could not walk in a straight line. Everything was suddenly moving in circles. I am not comfortable with the fact that I cant smoke it anywhere.
I love how the effects is slow and spread to the whole system.
very potent relief of pain
completely usable for pain that hinders sleep. Therefore increasing quality of life.
It makes me feel happy
it is as relaxing as weed gets
Oh man, I just love it!
it is very potent
