Its great! Ive addicted to it. Try if you like earthy tastes.
Sativa strains always help me with stress and anxiety, and Willie Nelson is one of my top picks. One thing is crucial while smoking WN: it leaves you clear-headed which is important for me…
I first tried this pot last year. Its a good and potent strain that made me energetic and talkative. You feel creative and can do a lot of work even if youre tired. I LOVE IT! But its more for experienced users.
I had severe back pain and painkillers were not doing me any good. When I got my cannabis card this flower was among those that I got recommendations for. Helped ease the pain and would leave my body feeling so relaxed and energetic.
When am in a celebrating mood, this is what I go for. Great head high and makes me happy.
This is one of the best cannabis I know. Has many postive effects other than a good high.
Left me with a heavy head not willing to try it again.
The cerebral high is well balanced does not give me a clouded head. Nice stuff

Roll a fat blunt and your mind just opens up like a chest.
