I smoked a bit too much to start, so it made me sleepy, but still, I think this is a great strain for relaxing and for anxiety. It calmed both my body and mind. I have anxiety in the pit of my gut that never goes away, and this reached that. I felt that it more than just medicated (covered) the problem, but temporarily helped heal it. The tension in my shoulders and jaw also dropped. So I felt very mellow. It did lower my cognitive abilities and I couldn't follow the plot of my murder mystery TV show, but I didn't care. It would be great for listening to music. It does cause the scalp to tingle, and it does affect the mind, but not in a sativa heavy way. Just in a relaxing way. The intense high lasted 2 or 3 hours and now I'm just more calm. With so many strains I've tried, even some indicas, I might feel relaxed but also this odd energizing push or tension. While there was a little of that, it was the lowest of any strain I've tried. It never prevented me from relaxing. If I felt any tension I could remind myself to relax and I could. Sometimes the strain itself makes it hard to chill, even if you decide to, but not this one. I highly recommend giving it a try, especially for anxiety/PTSD type stuff. It is more of an afternoon into evening type high. It's probably good for sleep too at higher doses. This one definitely goes in my medicinal tool kit. After trying 20 plus strains, this is one I will definitely load up on!

I've recently begun smoking to treat a medical condition. I'm about a month in, and I've tried about 20 strains, still searching for the right one. I'm writing reviews on any strains that are great, or really bad or just plain weird. Papaya for me was weird. The high started in the head, mostly with a tingly scalp. I noticed that it heightened my perception or focus when watching my favorite TV show of the moment. This sensation lasted quite a while. Meanwhile it travelled to my body with a heavy narcotic feeling. So far so good, but the strange thing was that despite this heavy feeling, I didn't find it as helpful for bodily pain relief as other strains. I could feel my old shoulder injury more. The next strange thing was that it made me sleepy, but at the same time it was activating, what on Leafly might be called "aroused." So it made me want to sleep and the same time it made me want to get up and do stuff, even though I didn't really want to! It should be noted that I'm a little prone to bodily anxiety and this strain activated that. But if you read reviews, some people find it energizing and other people find it calming. I think this is the nature of the strain. It could hit you either way, or for me, both ways. I would call its effects on me as "contradictory" -- sleepy and activating at the same time. I would compare its effects to Inferno OG, but maybe bringing more perceptual focus (but I smoked more Inferno than I did Papaya). The budtender recommended it for sleep, but I couldn't use this strain in that way. It was not the right strain for me, but could still work for you.
