Effect

Euphoric

The Skunk Ape strain is a pure Indica weed that resulted through crossing the cross of Las Vegas Purple Kush and Original Glue. The strain is a child of celebrity parents and has also gained popularity among medical patients for its mellow effects and delicious taste. With the terpene profile dominated by limonene and geraniol, Skunk Ape has a citrus taste and spicy herbal aroma featuring notes of skunk and flowery exhale. This cannabis bud provides mellow euphoria that is very relaxing in nature, warming every part of the body with high waves and leaving them fully sedative by the end. This is why this strain is recommended for nighttime use to better sleep and unwind after a long day. Skunk Ape marijuana contains 18-20% THC, which is high potency that is suitable only for veteran smokers.

I grew two clones of this weed this year. My plants grew like mad! Yielding a total of four pounds total. I'm talking four pounds of serious bud in jars. The weed is sticky and massive buds. Highly recommend

Skunk Ape Strain Uses & Side Effects

According to stoners, the Skunk Ape strain is best for nighttime use due to its relaxing and sleep-inducing effects. The high of this marijuana starts with a warming euphoria that helps get rid of bad racing thoughts and quickly leaves smokers dozing if they are not careful. Almost with the first exhale, you will feel relaxed and euphoric with a light sense of creativity that doesn't affect your energy for the first minutes. However, later you won't be able to do something as the body will be sedated and the mind free from stress, allowing you to enjoy a deep long night's rest. Thanks to these effects and its high THC level, this weed is used by medical patients to soothe symptoms associated with the following issues:

  • Stress
  • Anxiety
  • Muscle spasms
  • Insomnia
  • Nausea

Due to high THC concentration, Skunk Ape may cause minor side effects. The most common are:

  • Thirst and dry mouth
  • Drowsiness
  • Heightened sensory perception
