Alien Rock Candy is a phenomenal strain and an all around wonder. The buds are really pretty to look at, every time I have had this strain the buds are tightly compact with a bit of a dark green color with a sticky layer of white sugary trichomes. The flavor isn't like I remember rock candy as a kid but it definitely has a sweet taste to it through a vape. Very clean finish to the taste as well. The effects are pretty heavy and come on after about 5-30 minutes (it varied for me) but the body stone didn't set in until an hour after consumption and hits you like a ton of bricks. I suffer from anxiety and a little bit of an overactive brain and this calms everything down. And if I really wanna "turn off the lights" all I have to do is use a bit more and I drift into a nice sleep with a deep body relaxation and a peaceful mind. I would recommend this to a higher tolerance user for daily use or a novice that just wants to sit on the couch all day. Happy toking! Update 2/26/16: I usually need about 1 gram of a 100% indica for my nightly routine but with ARC I was able to use about .8g and had better results. Honestly it was my best nights sleep in a really long time. If you have the chance pick some up, you won't forget it.
