Appearance

The leaves are typically serrated, consistent with indica varieties, and the buds tend to be compact and well-formed.

Effects
Users report a deeply relaxing experience, often described as a head-to-body sensation that begins with cerebral euphoria and transitions into full-body sedation. This makes it particularly suitable for evening use and promoting restful sleep.
The strain's potent effects are sought after for managing discomfort and stress, though new users are advised to start with low doses due to its strong sedative properties.

Myrcene is believed to contribute to its sedative qualities, while limonene may offer mood-elevating aspects.
