The strain has a quick onset and you have that buzzy feeling. Can be used for going out or just being lazy. You feel kinda sleepy after a while, but it is not bad. Worth getting! I also had serious onset munchies - I ate a bunch of stuff.
A very popular weed. After vaping, I was in a complete euphoric state (but it depends on your tolerance). I felt happy and creative, but not that kinda stupid giggly you know. Try it when youre not in the mood for anything. The hybrid both energizes your
I tried it first at a party. White Widow gives fantastic high. I smoked half a blunt and was high for several hours afterwards. Who doesnt like White Widow? It is for all who tries to escape stress and stay uplifted. Gives a big dose of euphoria.
The smell is powerful - sort of flowery and piney. The effects are similar to Purple Hulk.
helps with arthritis - a great painkiller. Better than pain meds. I dont like smoking, I use it in edible
