Papaya Punch Strain Information
The Papaya Punch strain is a 60/40 indica-dominant hybrid of the super-fruity, indica-dominant Papaya and Purple Punch strains. Although this potent bud clocks in at 21%-29% THC and about 1% CBG, it delivers a calm, blissful, heady high that’s not overwhelming or seriously incapacitating.
After a few tokes of Papaya Punch, you’ll almost instantly feel a mental lift that somehow manages to be simultaneously euphoric and calming. As your mind settles into this blissful, relaxed state, you may feel an urge to get social or lose yourself in creative endeavors.
Eventually, a deep sense of relaxation will gradually overtake your physical form, leaving you feeling weighty and wonderful. Don’t be surprised if you ultimately end up couch-locked and ready for sleep a few hours after enjoying this potent strain.
With its balanced blend of mentally uplifting and physically calming effects, Papaya Punch is often used as herbal medicine for alleviating mental health concerns and chronic pain.
