New to this, so I’m still learning about strains and the general terms. A friend suggested this strain when I said I was looking for something to help with anxiety/racing thoughts that prevented me from falling asleep. This works wonders! It knocks me out (unlike some meds where you’re in and out of sleep all night).. like, I actually feel the sleepiness start happening AND it doesn’t give me that hangover in the morning like melatonin does. As someone who is less experienced, I can still say this in my top three strains (probably tied at two).
Oh, I didn’t even mention how I feel before I fall asleep. Holy crap does it make me super giggly. If I had to describe what I expected a “stoner high” to feel like, this would 100% be it. I was completely oblivious to any stress I had been feeling prior to smoking it, which is something I need.
tl;dr
I’m a newbie, so excuse my lack of knowledge.
It starts off feeling more like a sativa with the giggling and creative energy.
Completely took away my stress.
Then you gradually start feeling tired until your brain is like, “No, we sleep now!”
**I have bipolar disorder and the initial *sativa feeling* doesn’t feel like mania to me, but I guess I can see where people who’ve mentioned it are coming from, everyone reacts differently. Just wanted to mention this in case others have read about negative interactions between this and bipolar. Even if you do feel super manic, it should go away as soon as that sleepiness hits you.
