Grand Daddy Purple
Cannabis fans of all things purple—Purple Urkle, Purple Haze, Purple Kush and such—tend to be a jaded lot when it comes to their strains. They’re used to powerful varieties that don’t quite look or taste like your typical marijuana, and as such, they can be very hard to impress. But we seriously doubt
Cannabis fans of all things purple—Purple Urkle, Purple Haze, Purple Kush and such—tend to be a jaded lot when it comes to their strains. They’re used to powerful varieties that don’t quite look or taste like your typical marijuana, and as such, they can be very hard to impress. But we seriously doubt even these folks can behold Grand Daddy Purple, an indica-heavy phenotype we obtained from All American Healing Group in Inglewood, and not go wide-eyed with stunned admiration. Frosted white with fat trichomes, this noble variety is a cured patchwork of brilliant green and amber wrapped all around in magenta leaves for which its name is derived. The bittersweet bouquet is reminiscent of sour grapes soaked for months in deep-red burgundy. The flavor is sharp and sweet at once—a taste that first comes off entirely unlike marijuana until you exhale and realize that, no, this indeed is a top-notch strain. But none of that comes close to matching the pleasure one derives from the stone, which wraps around the body from head to toe like a warm blanket and stays that way for hours. For Grand Daddy Purple, the chief sensation is an overriding feeling of peace. We highly recommend this curiously eccentric strain to panic-attack sufferers and patients with sudden-onset emotional disorders such as PTSD.
