I will be honest when I say that I did not expect this strain to be as good as it is. I am a Sativa smoker. That is generally what I prefer. I actually thought this strain was a Sativa, (the first time I smoked it), such was the strength of the "heady" high. This was absolutely one of the most potent strains I have ever partaken of. The bud itself produces more kief than any other I have grinder up. I have sworn by Sativas my entire smoking career, but this Indica had me blown away. This is one of those strains that even if you think you have a high tolerance, you will still be knocked on your a$$ shortly after smoking. Very much recommended.
Definitely one of the best Sativa strains to date. The cerebral and heady high lasts for hours even from only smoking a small bowl. The nugs are extremely dense looking and feeling and have a very pungent dank odor. The taste is also very defined and "sour". This is the strain that I would smoke with a cup of coffee every morning to start off my day.
This is one of my favorite strains (along with Cali Orange Kush) of all time.
Tasting distinctly of bananas and candy, this strain is immediately tasty to even the soberest of minds. A purely mental high comes on extremely quickly, leaving you up in the clouds in a much higher stoned/focused state of being. Lasting for hours, you finally decend from a very surreal experience and suddenly realise that you have barely smoked any bud at all! This strain defines a perfect hybrid of Sativa and Indica.
I'll start off by saying that I am not a fan of most Indica strains. It's not that I think they are "bad", but I find that Sativas help me more as an individual. That being said, while every marijuana strain is different and unique, Grandaddy Purple was easily the most unique Indica strain I've ever smoked.
The high comes up very quickly with this strain and gets you very stoned, very quick. But after about 20 minutes, the high will decrease in intensity just SLIGHTLY, and remain there for another hour and a half. It has been roughly 15 hours since I last smoked this and I can still "feel" it in my system. I'm not high anymore, but I can definitely feel the lasting relaxation this strain has given me.
While giving you the typical "couch lock" stoned feeling that high end Indica strains usually give, I didn't feel completely incapable of functioning. Most high end Indica strains tend to get me so high that I can't move, but this strain got me very high while still letting me retain the ability to function and do things IF I had to. That being said, I wouldn't ever smoke this with the intent of doing something very involved later in the day. While I could still function if I wanted to, this is still an Indica, and I would rather spend this high watching a movie or just chilling with friends.
The taste was one of the most pleasant parts. It was very fresh and full, while also having that "purple" taste that can only be appreciated by people who have smoked it. It doesn't taste like grape. It tastes purple.(How is that for a high description?)
Overall, I'm more happy with this strain than I thought I would be. It does not take much of this pot to get one extremely high, so it was very much worth all of the cash I paid for it. Definitely the best Indica strain that I have had and I recommend it highly for any Indica partaker.
