Purple Skunk by Dispensary Near Me

A heavily sativa-dominant hybrid, Purple Skunk is a cross of the ever-popular Skunk #1 and an older, more obscure purps strain. The sativa/indica ratio is roughly 85:15, so expect creative cerebral effects with a strong dose of euphoria, a tingling sensation, and powerful hunger. That makes this a good strain for treating lack of appetite, though it’s also effective with anxiety, depression, migraine headaches, chronic pain, insomnia, and daily stresses.

Purple Skunk has relatively high THC content, topping at least 25% in tests, and that makes for potent psychoactive effects that may be too strong for newcomers and part-time tokers. CBD levels are likely quite low, given the abundance of THC, but since they’re not widely reported, it’s hard to know. For that reason alone, Purple Skunk shouldn’t be used as a CBD strain for patients whose conditions require that chemical. This strain tastes of berry, earth, and Skunk, while it smells much the same. Reported side effects include watery eyes, cottonmouth, dizziness, headaches, and paranoia. Though popular among those who have tried it, Purple Skunk isn’t widespread; it’s easiest to find in Washington State, Oregon, Montana, Arizona, and California.

For users that require a bit of extra love in the feels department, Purple Skunk is a great alternative to big pharma. With mood-enhancing properties, this strain is perfect for those who suffer from depression, chronic fatigue, or stress disorder as it washes away worry and gives you the added energy to get through your day with vigor. Those that suffer from chronic pain have also reported that the numbing effect in this strain was quite effective and welcome.

Cultivating Purple Skunk is a great choice for growers of all experience levels as it flowers in both inside or outside temperatures. Growers often prefer to keep the plants outside because of their strong, pungent odor, however, if you live in hotter temperatures you may want to keep this Oregon beauty indoors as she appreciates a brisk climate.

If you want to have a productive day filled with activity and fun, this all day bud is a great choice. Between the sweet berry wine on the tongue, the earthy dank flavors in the nose, and the deep purples hues that make it so easy on the eyes, it’s no wonder Purple Skunk is so loved by all.
