This heavy, sleepy indica is an ideal nighttime strain and can help treat insomnia.
It provides deep body relaxation while maintaining mental focus. The effects are calming, euphoric, and happy, and come with a powerful case of the munchies. This makes it ideal for lack of appetite, as well as anxiety, migraines, headaches, inflammation, muscle spasms, chronic pain, and stress. THC levels are nothing to write home about, hovering around 23% in most available tests.
Nor is there much CBD in this strain: less than 1%, and that makes this a less than ideal tool in dealing with seizures or other disorders that require that cannabinoid. Still, it can be a very pleasant choice for patients who have never used marijuana before or who want a mellow, calming experience. Berry, earth, and grape are the dominant notes to the smell and taste of Platinum Purple Kush, while the nugs are large and leafy, light green, and purple with a platinum coating.
Anxiety and dry mouth are widely reported side effects, but dry eyes, dizziness, and paranoia are also possible. The easiest places to find this strain include California, Nevada, and the Pacific Northwest.
