Due to Indica roots, this weed made me couch-locked. I slept like a baby. Get rid of your sleeping pills!
fantastic sedative effects with zero negative reactions

I suffer from insomnia and anxiety. Now fixed it with The Black strain!!
If you want to remain productive, don’t use it in daytime. Leave it for the night when you need to unwind. You may have low blood pressure if overdosed. I cant really add anything about the taste. Weed like weed
