The Strain

Purple Candy is a well-rounded indica strain, great for those seeking ultimate relaxation. With such a versatile high and deeply relaxing buzz, it is no surprise as to how it has cemented its’ place in the Canadian cannabis history books. The origins of this strain are slightly hazy, although it is generally agreed that it was bred as a by-product of crossing BC Sweet tooth and Mendocino Purps. This lovely marriage between the two strains resulted in the creation of a strain with a debilitating body high, and a tasty, unforgettable terpene profile that is characterised by its’ contrasting sweet, yet earthy terpene profile.

Effects

In laboratory tests, this strain shows to contain 19% THC levels on average. Do not take these numbers lightly, Purple Candy is still quite potent and its medicinal effects are very strong. Upon smoking, many users may be discerned that the high of Purple Candy is not immediately noticed – don’t fret, as Purple Candy is known for its’ creeper high that slowly sneaks up on you like a ninja in the night. Like most indica highs, the high associated with Purple Candy revolves around an ultra relaxed body high. This strain also induces users into a euphoric state, and is great as a mood enhancer or pick-me-up.  The medicinal effects of Purple Candy are most useful or potent when using it for the treatment of body aches and pains, insomnia, lack of appetite, depression and stress.

Appearance & Aroma

This strain is characterized by its large buds and iconic rich, purple hue. What is also nice about Purple Candy is its lack of pistils – or orange hairs, which some may find un-attractive. These dense flowers are covered in a generous sticky candy-like layer of white THC. The aroma and taste of this strain is exactly how it sounds – main notes of a candy-like sweetness and a grape like flavour, offset by a mild hint of earthiness.
