Death Star
4/10/2018
This strain is pretty great for treating insomnia. The onset is about 10 - 15 minutes. I would describe the effects as follows:
1. Heavy. My body feels weighed down. Walking around, I feel a bit clunky, slow and awkward. When I hit the bed, I'm basically anchored; don't ask me to do any last-minute chores or activities after smoking .4+ grams of this stuff!
2. Tingly. Once I'm relaxed, I'm usually hit with wave after wave of tingly sensations flowing through my body (specifically limbs).
3. Sleep-inducing. I haven't found a strain (besides Hash Plant) that induces sleep so quickly. Once my eyelids get heavy, I'm out.
4. Relaxing. While many Sativa-dominant hybrid strains stimulate the mind and induce creativity, Death Star has a much more sedating effect. Personally, my mind isn't CLEAR after smoking this bud, but it does induce peace and complacency.
Anyway, I would recommend this strain to anyone who needs help falling (and staying) asleep. Likewise, this strain is great for general relaxation. I wouldn't recommend smoking this in the morning or middle of the day; you'll want to use this bud to unwind 20 - 40 minutes before bed.
Pro-tip: If you do use this strain to induce sleep, make sure to give yourself 15 - 20 extra minutes in the morning to get out of bed. I swear, this stuff will still have you stuck as soon as you wake up (coffee + shower + quick workout session will kill the morning haze pretty quickly).
