Granddaddy Purple Cannabis Strain
Granddaddy Purple is one of the most popular Indicas around. Producing happy, relaxed effects, this strain is great for winding down, catching up on some sleep, or easing pain. Granddaddy Purple is a classic Indica. Whether you’re in need of some sleep, suffer from chronic pain, or just need to chill out, this strain has you covered. Granddaddy Purps came onto the scene back in 2003 from San Francisco Bay breeder Ken Estes. Since then, it’s become one of the most popular Indicas on dispensary shelves. This strain is a cross between two rockstar strains, Big Bud and Purple Urkle. However, these genetics are strikingly similar to Grape Ape, another popular purple strain. Regardless, this strain is loved by medical patients and recreational users alike. Though Granddaddy is an Indica, it tends to provide a bit of a euphoric mental high. New consumers should be slow with this strain, as THC levels can run as high as 23%.
While those on the recreational side will appreciate the deep body relaxation and calming effects of this strain, it is also a popular medical strain. Granddaddy Purple makes for a great nightcap or accompaniment to a warm bath. Medical users appreciate this strain while managing stress, depression, and chronic pain. This strain can be very useful for those suffering from a lack of appetite, as it can really stoke hunger in medical patients.
