this is my second review on this strain and I have to say that it is my favorite strain for night time. I am really not a huge fan of most indicas, I prefer sativas, but granddaddy purple is the best indica I have ever had and I can't get enough of it. the smell of the buds are very fruity and berryish, the vapor tastes earthy with a hint of sweetness. the high is quite euphoric with a mild couchlock feeling and comes on quite quickly. after an hour or 2 the couchlock feeling gets more intense while the euphoria slowly drifts off and your eyelids become very very heavy and you slowly drift off to sleep. I can't recommend GDP enough. if your are not a huge fan of indicas but you want to try one for sleep than look for GDP and give it a try.

True Grandaddy Purp when grown properly smells and tastes like berries and the leaves will turn a solid purple while the buds will have a 50/50 look of green and purple with a silvery type look. The smell of this bud should fill an entire room when you have a bag of it in your pocket. The smoke is smooth and savory with that classic purple berry flavor lingering with a heavy hitting high that lasts for hours. This stuff is great for pain, tuning out the world when you need to, with a euphoric stoney high that will just keep you ripped all day. Many like this for a nighttime smoke but conesoiurs of fine marijuana would love smoking this all day long.
Dispensary grade Grandaddy Purp is often a cheap knock off or just not grown properly and may smell more like hay and pine needles that have been in the rain too long and I would rate that stuff a 1, but it's not real GDP, it's just an imposter giving the strain a bad name.

I absolutly love this strain. I struggle with Bipolar type 2, as well as anxiaty and anger... you name it. GDP is my Emergancy Button" in times of severe stress and physical and mental pain.
the high is extremely calming, like a warm thick fuzzy blanket was gently placed around your entire body. you feel relaxed. whatever it was that shoved you way down into that chaotic and destructive low/mania is now reduced to a tingle.... and if I wanted to, could easily fall asleep and not even care about any of it.
GDP is my MIRACLE DRUG. Hands down.
I HIGHLY reccomend this strain for anyone struggling with Bipolar, Anxiaty, Depression, Anger, or even just going threw a VERY rough time in there life. (Like I am). Granddaddy Purple... may just be an excellent medicine for any 51/50 patients as well... because I'll tell ya, I had one hell of a bad day before writting this, and GDP has literally saved me from a severe anxiaty attack and very nasty depression lingering.
I <3 YOU GRANDDADDY PURPLE! <3 -you're biggest fan. ;D

I enjoying this strain a lot! I usually don’t do indices but compared to my usual medication I feel more of a smooth high and for some reason I was very active initially and just wanted to clean… now I’m mellow and I think my tolerance is getting up there because I smoked a good amount and I need to smoke again :)… absolutely no paranoia and I usually am very paranoia prone so thats a plus and this may be another one of my go to strains!

Just tried this for the first time. It really does smell and taste sweet like berries. GDP struck me as a creeper strain. I didn't realize how high I was until I tried to actually do things. I totally lost track of my phone for about a half hour. This feels very sedative. It's a very heady high that to me almost feels like a sativa, but it is relaxing instead of energetic. This is definitely a evening and night strain. I feel very mentally relaxed. More than any other strain has made me feel. My head feels empty, but in a good way. Like my problems, anxieties, and negative thoughts are being blocked or taken out of my head. This is truly a strain to help you de-stress and forget about a bad or stressful day. I have a feeling this will help me fall asleep quite easy. This strain is great for what I wanted it for. I like this strain. I rate it a 4.5.

I tried Granddaddy Purple for the first time yesterday. I'd looked forward to trying it all week after reading these reviews. Seriously, I think I was MORE excited to try the strain than a kid looks forward to Christmas.
The taste is so sweet. The smoke is thick and heavy with the sweet under taste. Nice!
5 minutes later....nothing. No effects whatsoever.
10 minutes in, my only effect was boredom. No!
15 minutes in, I decided I must have inhaled wrong or something.
17 minutes in, just as I was going to grab the bong for another go HELLO GRANDDADDY!
To say I was stoned would be an understatement. I'm pretty sure my butt melded with the couch. I was pretty much capable of watching and re-watching trailers on On Demand. I wanted food. All the food. Thank God I was trapped by some unseen force and couldn't get off the couch.
Granddaddy Purple was slow acting, but Negasonic level badass in it's punch. Tread carefully. This is definitely a nighttime strain. Unless your daytime gig involves watching the Deadpool trailer 19 times, you probably don't want to try this when you need to be productive.
Pain is powerless against GP. So is nausea, anxiety, annoyance and insomnia. This strain would probably set you back to good after drinking 32 cups of coffee and getting hit by a bus.

Review of Granddaddy purple.
I was super excited after reading the top review by hellokitty to try this strain. I was thinking I was going on a trip in my mind without leaving my bed. That did not happen. Here is what I learned. Pros, I felt amazing. Not like I went on a trip but overall very very relaxed. Unlike hellokitty's review, I could move, I wasn't lazy feeling and I didn't Meld into my bed. For me, I need the food cravings. I don't eat a lot. Not because I don't want to. I just don't. When I get "munchies" I eat a lot. The food doesn't hurt my stomach when I am high. So I had the energy to get up and eat. Unlike helokitty in the funny review. They were hungry but couldn't get up. I had more than enough ability to do that. Now, when the high set in I started watching the movie, Get him to the greek. My all-time favorite comedy ever. I have always wanted to watch it stoned. I got that chance and laughed just as much as I did the first time I saw it. My first inhales were two small puffs. I was worried based off said review only taking one and being done. So I was careful. I felt different but nowhere near high as they said after twenty minutes. So I took more hits. I never fell asleep, as I said. I did feel amazingly relaxed, and calm, and giggly while the movie played. As a last ditch effort to fall asleep, I ate a brownie bite, took one last hit and went to bed. I was awake three-ish hours later, only this time with a headache. The kind when you have a hangover. I wasn't a happy camper about it. I am not sure if it is related to coming off the high of this new strain, or not. I will try it again tonight just to see. So there you have it. I was hoping to tell you all this amazing story of how I had an amazing adventure and went on this courageous quest and saved a lot of innocent lives or something crazy while never actually leaving my bed. (Sounds like a great high huh?) Alas, I didn't experience any of that. Only that I felt good. I am not a day smoker. I reserve getting high for at night and after my kids are in bed. This was to help me sleep. Needless to say not for me, this is a strain If I had to, (I have bad anxiety at times) I could do around my kids, without that fear that I won't be able to function if they need me. (By the way, I had used a vape pen. So the way I ingested it was an oil cartridge. Not sure if that makes a huge difference)

Curaleaf 80% extraction vape cart for this review. Curaleaf cuts their vape with some MCT, but that's actually easier on my sensitive lungs than a pure terp extract. I really appreciate that because they're one of the two dispensaries that actually make a really smooth and gentle hitting vape.
This particular GDP vape benefits from priming in a standard 510 battery to get it vaporizing. This GDP is mild hitting with some slightly earthy resinous notes with a trace of mint on the back end and in the aftertaste. At 80% THC, it's a potent relaxer that will only require a few hits for the casual Indica user to find the relaxation they need. For the experienced, this one gets me where I wanted to be, which is chill yet still functional.

Never enjoyed smoking because it caused anxiety/paranoia. It caused me to be socially introverted where I'm naturally extroverted. Even alone it caused anxiety just overanalyzing situations in my life.
I'm a cancer patient wanting to get off opioids but need something strong to relieve body pain, insomnia and to turn off my brain from overthinking overanalyzing life and the stress of a serious illness...but need one that won't cause anxiety. I also need appetite stimulation which opioids do the opposite.
I definitely experience happy euphoria with an ease of calmness (I'm not a calm person) I'm usually high-strung. Also increased my appetite which is excellent to put weight back on. No paranoia nor anxiety.
A very good experience and a calmly relaxing enjoyable strain. Will I keep it in my arsenal? Probably not. I need two strains, something heavier for full body cancer pain and still searching for the perfect strain that'll give me giggles and fun aside from the serious medicinal need when I need it. Overall a great strain, but for pain Grapefruit Kush is stronger for my pain level.

Woke up at 3:30am with a headache. I get terrible migraines, complete with nausea and puking. This didn’t make my headache be at its peak and make its way down when I normally medicate, but just all of a sudden it was gone. I can see how this would be great for joint pains also. Arms are feeling very loose. Feel very carefree and serene. My 4 year old decided to climb in bed with my husband and I a few minutes ago, I don’t even care, when I normally hate my kids sleeping with us. Would be great to watch some crazy documentaries like make UFO sightings on netflix.
