This shatter was recommended to me by an employee at NETA in Northampton, MA, I prefer a hybrid/sativa that doesn't cause paranoia or anxiety. He assured me that despite the high THC content, it wouldn't. That is true, and it is less intense than other strains with similar THC. It is like being covered with a silk scarf.
It came in like a wrecking ball, but turned into a contemplative state of euphoria. Heed the reviews here that say "best smoked in lower than usual doses".
I purchased this because I needed an indica leaning strain to help with insomnia, and an employee of the dispensary recommended Banana Kush. I prefer the effects of a sativa. I found it hard to remember things - like what I was about to do before I had the chance to do it. That said, I think it is good for insomnia and activities that are very chill.
