Death Star
2/20/2020
I tried this strain somewhat on a whim (I love Star Wars, and especially Vader), but I was looking for a good pain relief indica strain, too.
This may be my new favorite strain-- it does so much more than I hoped. First, pain relief-- so far it's managed to take care of a migraine almost entirely, *completely* stop the pain of an abscessed tooth, and make menstrual crams disappear (and I have endometriosis).
But another thing I wasn't expecting-- it relaxes my muscles kind of like Flexeril. Or better, honestly, because it doesn't come with the rest of the effects. You know when you get a hard knot on one of your muscles (especially in the shoulders and neck), that hurts and makes it hard to move? Smoking about half a bowl of this was enough to provide almost complete relief, and allow me to move freely again.
Also, it's great for delayed onset muscle soreness when you go hard at the gym.
On top of that, it gives me an appetite without giving me the munchies.
That's just the medicinal aspect, though. What I really like is how amazing it makes me feel-- just calm euphoria and an overall good mood. Relaxation without that weighted blanket feeling. And it helps me sleep so well, without actually making me feel sleepy-- it just makes me sleep more soundly, stop tossing and turning, and not lay awake angsting about the day.
Definitely a new staple strain.
