I did not expect to like this at all, as energetic sativas usually make me incredibly anxious, but this stuff is awesome. It has a mellow energy that makes you high without feeling out of control. Went fishing and it was a great day. Would definitely have again.

Amazing high love the taste and giggles
Interesting that this is listed as a sativa and my dispensary had it marked as a hybrid... The nugs are nice and it smells like a Tazo tea. I had a nice cerebral high for a bit then a nice body high kicked in. I could feel a lot going on in my body and when I focused could feel the blood flowing through me. I would also like to mention that I had a hard time keeping a joint of this lit unless I was continually puffing it.
Not the big berry flavors I was hoping for, but sweet, and smooth, for a Haze-y, sativa-dominant strain. Uplifting head buzz, and a nice case of the smiles. Not over the top, but all around good stuff.
I'll admit I'm new to using weed medicinally (which is a shame considering), but here's my two cents.
1 - No weird bursts of paranoia so far. This may change if you smoke too much, however.
2 - Focus and energy, but not so much you can't relax if the situation allows for it.
3 - Pain relief AND relief of anxiety related to the pain at the same time, which is a weird double-whammy that I didn't expect.
Personally, I find this to be more effective AND less problematic for treating ADHD in women (and all the requisite symptoms, like depression and anxiety) than Strattera, Adderall, Ritalin, or Vyvanse. ymmv, though. It also helps with pain relief and doesn't cause Crohn's flares, which means it's more effective for that than opioids. I'm honestly shocked.
I struggle with anxiety that caused me to worry that I wouldn't like this strain. As such, here are some strains I've enjoyed in the past, and some that had some mixed effects for me (I call it my strain profile). If you tend to enjoy my chosen strains, then Panama Punch might be right for you.
Enjoyed:
Forbidden Fruit - Very clear focus w/o anxiety
White Widow - Mild anxiety, but motivation and energy to do something about the anxiety.
Afternoon Delight - Pain relief + flexibility of use.
Blue Dream - Best strain for sleep I've ever seen, especially when coupled with pain relief.
Gelato - Great balance between the focus of White Widow and the flexibility of use of Afternoon Delight.
Enjoyed but experienced weird side effects:
Acapulco Gold - Was more easily triggered (I also have PTSD), especially if used in excess.
Northern Lights - Weird PTSD dreams. Also wasn't as effective for pain relief as you'd expect with an Indica.
Truffle Butter - I don't know how to describe this, but I was convinced that something in my house was on fire every time I used this strain because I could smell it. Nothing was ever on fire or smelled like fire. Also, I was using a vape pen, so there wasn't any smoke smell, either.
DID NOT ENJOY:
Sour Diesel - Paranoia even when used in small amounts. Headache.
White Durban - No noticeable effects unless used in heavy amounts. If you use it too heavily, it overwhelms you and leaves you unable to do anything.
Red Velvet - Most awful migraine I've ever had in my life. Weird taste in my mouth. I don't remember experiencing any actual enjoyment from this one tbh.
Everyone is different, of course.
awesome strain had me feeling good all night xD

It’s fine. I feel the high, but there’s no punch to it. Maybe my tolerance is too high for this strain
Why can’t we give .5’s? This is a good 4.5 strain. Nice head high that will take you places. Smoke enough and the body high can be just as good. A nice hitter. Definitely recommend. My slut and I bang to Panama Punch!
