I thought the buds were amazing with a frosty coat of trichomes. The real deal is when you lit it. the smell and taste are in a class of its own and the euphoria I feel is waaaoow. I think I may be in love already
bonging this pot right now and I cant even begin to explain the goodness buubbling inside of me. Seems leafy was right to give it a very high rating on relaxation and euphoria. I am so happy that I dont wanna do anything today.
Hands down, the most relaxing vape I ever had. Enjoyable smoke, smooth and slick with a rich and inviting aroma. You can not walk out on this burst of freshness and goodness
Worth every dollar I have spent on it in the last few months. I experiences muscle spasm post trauma and this is the one dope that gets my body to calm down and relax.
I vaped this weed and I felt a feeling of relaxation almost immediately. It is one of the best strain to use when you want to relax. It delivers a full body high that leaves you euphoric and happy. I will definitely buy it again.
the flower has a nice color, it is fine on a general level but nothing spectacular to see here. I am definitely taking a walk.
A very good pain reliever that calms me as well as relaxes my mind.
I wont go as far as to say that this is my fav strain but it has one hell of a kick and very good at night.
Good quality smell and taste, it helps me relax and this usually leads to sleep.
if you like GDP strain, then you should absolutely try this one.
The smoke gives off coffee aroma with chocolate undertones.
Helps me sleep well
Bloody beautiful buds
increases mental relaxation
Refreshing taste
