Gravity

The budtender at Rocky Road in Colorado Springs recommended this strain for pain since they were out of cotton candy and banana kush. The smell was very strong but smoked through pipe or bubbler there is almost no taste and no cough. It's soooo smooth and has a great smell when burnt, like the weed I remember as a young adult. I immediately get relief from neuropathy pain within seconds. I'm already on Neurontin and it barely touches the pain. Marijuana has been such a great help for my wife and I. We can finally sleep at night without twitching and cursing at the shocking, burning, and stabbing pains. It doesn't make me sleepy, and I stay up till 3AM playing Minecraft and I'm almost 40! I do get the munchies just before bed, but that's not a problem for me!

I use this strain for medicinal purposes related to lymphoma. It has been a huge help in giving me an appetite, controlling nausea, and overcoming taste changes after chemotherapy. Although it does help with pain, it is not as helpful with that as I thought it would be, and the relief from pain is less like the pain being gone, and more like I just don't care about it as much, which is still a big relief as it alleviates the stress associated with chronic pain. As I both smoke and vape this strain, I will note that the pain relief is better when smoked, but it also comes with a heavy "stoned" feeling and makes me want to sleep. However, when I vape, although the pain relief isn't as much, I get a much more "elevated" feeling. It still controls nausea and helps with appetite when I vape, but I don't feel tired or "couch-locked" in any way. I can vape several times a day and it helps me to get done what I need to do. I have also been able to stop taking anti-depressants that I was on due to the stress and anxiety associated with this long battle with cancer, as Gravity does a great job in dealing with those problems when a medical saturation level has been reached; or even on a quick basis for a bout of depression or anxiety. Gravity has a great aroma and flavor. I liken it to the floral sensation of a real hoppy beer, like a strong IPA.

This is a good night time high CBD strain. It might be OK to use during the day, but I think it did make my eyes tired and dry. And I prefer not to "look stoned" when I am out and about. I tried some, then did about an hour of work on the computer without realizing it. Did not feel loopy or lethargic at all. Back pain that was bothering me went away pretty quickly. I am impressed with this strain. While it was not the knockout indica body buzz I was hoping for, it was a very functional night time strain.
