this is the new generation of medicinal cannabis strains. extremely potent when grown in the absolute conditions. the potent shotgun start really motivated my day with a strong happy uplifted yet con tent feeling. safe to say this medication is the new age dominant potent strain.

Well well. Isn't that a deep subject? And isn't this one heck of a nicely balanced product indeed. It comes on slowly but doesn't feel like a creeper. Nor does it hit all at once. More so, it feels like it has stages. The first stage is, "hmm, nothing, I'll take another hit". The second stage is, oh that just tastes good, is smooth, and feels nice so I'm going to take another just because its nice." Third stage - well well, isn't this one heck of a nicely balanced product. :) This may very well be my favorite, running a close race with Blue Dream. The body is relaxed, the mind is open and quiet yet attentive. The need to rush disappears. Colors seem a bit more vivid. Overall, a fine selection for me. Your mileage may vary of course, as always.
in my zeal to try as many strains as possible, I rarely try a given strain more than 3x (I'm just not the pothead I used to be - sigh), but this strain has so many 'uses' that it's won my popularity contest - if the measure is frequency of use. a budtender recommended it for going to a concert so I wouldn't be jumping out of my chair - or nodding out. he was right; it was perfect for that - but it's also got other great traits: it's creative, clear-headed, and unusually analgesic (I think I've noticed a correlation between purple strains and analgesic, but more 'research' is necessary). it doesn't make you get too much into your thoughts, which makes sense since it's a hybrid, not a full-on sativa, and, as if that wasn't good enough, every sample I've had of this has been quite potent. definitely worth picking up if you see it; it never sticks around long, from what I've seen.
One of the best most potent strains of bud I have ever smoked. I am an avid smoked with a high tolerance (no pun intended) and this shit knocked me on my ass in 3 hits off thr pipe. This strain is popular in the puget sound region but this is a bud you just gotta give a chance but be warned; the purple arrow of the Cannabis Huntress may strike right in your forhead.

Personal Strain comments: Large banded crystal formations. Secretion density (19smm) around the outer edges making it look like its about to freeze.
The first sentence of the strain description is exactly correct: When it comes to knocking out pain, NO medical strain hits the target quite like Purple Arrow.
Or comes anywhere close.
I have severe pain from lumbar arthritis, and I swear, Purple Arrow makes me think I have cannabinoid receptors in my back. The pain relieving/anti-inflammatory properties of this strain come mostly from the Black Domina side of the family, while the pleasant-but-not-overwhelming head buzz comes from the Permafrost side.
Really, really fine Purple Arrow is unquestionably the best weed I've ever had, and I will go well out of way to get it. But beware: sometimes, what's sold as Purple Arrow is actually Permafrost. TRUE Purple Arrow had a very distinct "bite" to its smell, also from it's Black Domnia ancestry.
Very relaxing and helps with headaches. I like that it doesn't feel too stoney. I tend to use this when Blue Dream doesn't work or I've had BD too recently and i need to switch it up. The only downside is the voracious appetite I get. The word "munchies" doesn't even describe it. Most strains actually don't give me the munchies. I guess I've been lucky that way. One hour in, Purple Arrow makes me feel like I didn't eat all day, even though I just had three squares. A day of meticulously counted calories goes out the window and I HAVE to eat. Two-hours in, I suddenly feel so tired that I can't keep my eyes open and I have to drag myself to bed. This is OK but I'm not generally looking for a sleep aid - that's not my issue. But really, if I've prepared for both of these outcomes in advance, PA makes a great pain reliever without any anxiety or paranoia, which is paramount for me in any strain.
I have extreme spine and neck pain. This is one of the only strains that really doe something right away. I seek this strain out just for this purpose.
