So, as a Bay Area lady who recently decided to try weed again as an alternative to anti-anxiety or pain meds, this one caught my eye. It sounded too good to be true. I'm someone who is pretty resilient in general, so when a time of anxiety and depression hit me recently for a couple weeks, I was really looking into medical marijuana and the amazing research - it's so scientific now and I can choose which high! And friends, this strain lives up to its reputation. If you allow it, it will help you dance alone in your room (or in public!) and just feel your own bliss. If you interact with others, they'll likely think, "Well they're in a good mood and smiling so much!" And then they'll go onto their own lives. Productive, sunny, body and mental euphoria don't feel out of control but are manageable! I seriously didn't smoke for 10+ years out of fear of the insecurity and paranoia it eventually brought up in me, so for me to write a review, it's saying something. (It is like xanax, valium, klonnis, some light opiates in low doses! chill but you can be productive if you don't overdo it!).
GSC was one of the first strains I tried out when I started smoking regularly to treat my stress and depression, and it was a hell of a starter strain.
The flavour is somewhat difficult for me to describe, but it seems to me like a semi-sweet, semi-antiseptic sort of taste and a smell somewhat akin to liquid hand soap that was at first strange, but over time I have come to appreciate it. The taste and smell both borrow heavily from its Durban Poison heritage, and so does the high. In my experience, it starts off as a head-centered buzz that I felt behind my eyes, and as times goes on, it spreads throughout your entire body, reducing minor aches and pains and relieving low moods.
Care is definitely required for inexperienced users, as I have overdone it on a couple of occasions, and found myself feeling pretty anxious and paranoid, or dwelling on strange things. However, once you've figured out your doses, this strain won't disappoint. I'm a fan of sativas and sativa-dominant hybrids, and GSC is absolutely one of my favourite all round strains (top 5 being Durban Poison, Jack Frost, GSC, Blueberry cheesecake and trainwreck).
GSC makes you giggly and hungry. Typical teenage-hood weed. To be honest I never laughed as much. Greatttttt
One of my favorite strains of all time. This helps me cope with depression and anxiety. Very uplifting and euphoric. I am also productive and tuned while smoking this strain!
This was something I wasn’t prepared for at all. I took two hit on my bubbler and I felt this calmness washing over Mr straight away and I thought wow this is so nice...5 minutes in I can remember been sitting in my chair enjoying the calm high and then all of sudden been power launched into the cosmos. The effects came on like I was been fired out of a canon - wow the cerebral effects I can’t even describe, I’m a illustrator and my creative side just exploded with ideas, it was amazing and overwhelming at the same time. I also do suffer from anxiety which did surface a few times, but it quickly subsided with the indica side calming me while the sativa side kept me focused and spaced out at the same. This an Amazing strain in my option and one of THE best hybrids to try.
I had tried this in vape a while ago and really liked it. But the flower is nothing short of ahhhhhhmazing!! But hold on tight for this one. It delivers what I can only describe as a 3 stage high. First I was really talkative, then the giggles and finally a cerebral high. But I don't recommend this if you're doing anything requiring fine motor skills, cooking, etc.. it is one of those silly feeling strains that I love!!" And get ready for major munchies!! That is the only one drawback, if I was to list one. One of my very favorites for sure.
Great flavor. Some fire. Burner only does the best
I'm not sure why I bother to smoke anything else. GSC is like comfort food, I've never had anything but good memories of GSC. Tastes like Double Mint gum and Tollhouse cookies, and the taste stayed with me all night. This is a great all day/night strain for me, I was able to drive and be out in public, at night it just put me in a good mood. In my experience, you can't really overdo it with this one, but a little bit goes a long way, you can expect a solid 2-3 hours of medicated time. Overall, the calming and confident feeling GSC gives me makes this a top hybrid choice, this is what great flowers taste like.
