One of the best strains I’ve smoked. Made me feel very euphoric and talkative but at the same time I was able to focus very well on the drawing I was doing. It made me sleepy but in a way where I felt nice and drowsy, not drained. The only thing I don’t like in this strain – it did make me a lot hungrier than I usually get when I smoke and I’m currently dieting LOL!
