Monkey Paw is a sativa dominant hybrid (80% sativa/20% indica) strain created as a three-way cross of the cult favorite strains Acapulco Gold X Columbian Gold X Afghani strains.
This potent hybrid boasts a moderately high average THC level between 15-17% and a classically appealing aroma and taste. Monkey Paw has a delicious aroma of sweet skunky citrus with a hint of pungent diesel and a taste of sweet citrus that has a skunky diesel aftertaste that can be overpowering if you’re not careful. Monkey Paw buds have small pebble-shaped dark olive green fluffy nugs with a thick layer of fiery orange hairs, lots of dark purple leaves, and a frosty layer of thick milky white trichomes and sweet sticky resin.
The Monkey Paw high hits immediately behind the eyes before quickly spreading to the entire head with a jolt of uplifted energy. You’ll feel insanely focused and motivated with a heightened sense of awareness that amplifies the senses. This cerebral high is anchored by a mellow relaxing effect that rids the body of pain and leaves you utterly at ease.
Because of these effects, Monkey Paw is said to be the perfect strain for treating chronic pain, mild to moderate cases of depression, and inattentiveness or ADD/ADHD.
