I just have to start by saying When it comes down to it, marijuana is marijuana.
About GDP, it’s by far one of the best to inducing intoxicating effects, calming to catatonic if you use a LARGE amount at once. But even small amounts account for a body high like non-other. It was like my body was doing the wave inside and could feel it even though I wasn’t moving one bit.
One warning: I believe well cultured GDP is by far one of the best, and it’s very easy to smoke to much else than stare at a lava lamp and some good indie music Aurora or Warpaint are two of my favorites with GDP.
Hoped that helped anyone curious.
I use this before I go to bed in vape format. If I take 2 hits my mood becomes really pleasant, slightly euphoric and relaxed. Often it makes me a bit giggly. On the downside... within a half an hour I am ready to binge on anything and everything there is to eat in the house! I actually have to make myself stop because it definitely triggers hunger. I find it particularly helpful for my anxiety... oh and sometimes it triggers my libido and I have to make myself orgasm 3 or 4 times just to get to sleep. And also sometimes it triggers my creativity for business ideas... so if you're like that, try to remember to keep a pen and paper at the bedside because you won't remember the great ideas in the morning (or take notes with your phone). It helps me go into a deep sleep too. One drawback: it gives me big time dry eyes but I always consider that the least concerning side effect.
This has come to be my go to flower when my insomnia won’t let up. It has a smooth taste, not too harsh. It relaxes not only the body, but the mind too. A good couch lock, time to doze off kinda feeling. Definitely great for stress, insomnia, and depression.

Absolutely phenomenal indica; it absolutely deserves its great reputation as a potent indica. Now I’ve had a few “purples” and so far any one of them are my go-to indicas. However, with the exception of Purple Punch, I sometimes experience a sativa level euphoria, which is very fun because it comes with none of the raciness that a sativa carries. Although if I’m running errands rather than being in the security of my usual smoke spot, I do get a touch of anxiety on the paranoid level, not on a stress level. I suppose it’s closer to just an overawareness of things potentially going wrong rather than being genuinely paranoid even in a light way. But I’m vaping on it right now in my spot and am just experiencing total body relaxation. I’m deeply weighted in comfort and warmth. And while I have no pains, I can see how it would settle physical discomfort as well as any mental stresses from the day - not in the “yeah well everything is going to be okay” sort of mental relief way but rather the “this body stone is so nice it’s all I can think about” way.
Also, shout out to Magna Carta vape cartridges. I think their GDP is about 70 percent THC (give or take five percent). Now that’s not crazy, but idk what it is, this hits me hard after only one hit, and I smoke every day. Maybe it’s because it’s distillate while other cartridges are a wax mixed and thinner with VG? Could be the difference. Because just two consecutive hits can affect me for a few hours. The first hour with intensity, the second hour with a few spikes of laughing and just silly thought patters, and the third hour with just the nice come down relaxation a good strain will leave you with. But whatever you do, tread with caution and balance if you are smoking this during the day or if you need to do anything. Not only are you fully stoned, but you can’t even retain the will to do anything outside of whatever is arms reach away. And even then, there’s an amount of mental effort in trying to raise your arm haha.
Definitely in my top three favorite indicas and would keep it around. Not as cerebral as Purple Kush but similar in body stone, yet not as anxiety free as Purple Punch but similar in mental relaxation.
This strain gives a high very different from any other I've had. It wasn't quite for me, but it may be for you. I was extremely functional and capable of conversation, but felt like I was only able to think about one thing at a time, which is much more pleasant-feeling than it may sound.
Great for pain! I was so excited to try this strain after seeing all the great reviews. I suffer from type 1 diabetes and pain from 3 hernias at once and having an operation on them. I often struggle to have an appetite and more so due to my type 1. This strain made me so hungry I was eating more than I could even imagine and had such a great experience. I tried this strain for the first time in a select cartridge and it was very potent. One of my new favorites :).
Kind of a creeper strain, but when it kicks in it hits you like a ton of bricks. Gives a great and strong relaxed feeling that's great for insomnia or playing games under a pile of blankets. Overall 10/10 strain.

Grandaddy is an appropriate name for this strain - this is the granddy of all purple cannabis in my eyes. I usually shy away from the "pretty" buds, but this one packs a punch and is great for pain and stress. Not for amateurs!
