Dark Star, also known as "Darkstar," is an indica marijuana strain. Dark Star’s effects are as spacey as its name suggests: a deep, relaxed sensation throughout the body accompanied by a heavy cerebral calm. Though celestial in its effects, the strain is more likely homage to the Grateful Dead’s song “Dark Star.” A cross between Purple Kush and Mazar-I-Sharif, this dark, almost bluish strain was first bred indoors by T.H. Seeds.

I had quit cannabis back in 4/20/2023 (yes on 4/20). I had been consuming too much and spending too much on it. I wanted to go a full year. But 6 months in, i went through a family tragedy and was finding myself super depressed and taking trazedone to fall sleep. I didn’t want to do that and decided to try cannabis again. I looked up several indicas and found this sounded like the best option for someone now only wanting it to help me fall asleep at night. I’m basically taking three or four hits when I lay down in bed for the night. This strain works wonders for that. My wife snores, and it gets bad enough that I’ll leave the room to sleep in the spare because it’s so loud. With this strain? I just fall asleep, didn’t and don’t even hear the snoring now. This strain is great for relaxing and will help elevate insomnia imo. I slept so well for the first time in a couple months. I have it in cartridge form. If you want to relax and have a goodnight sleep, try this strain

Seems like ganja & meditation would go together like peanut butter & jelly or glove in hand. But after having an ex with a peanut allergy & a leather glove fetish (yes, same person) came the realization that things aren't always that simple. Just because there is a mysticism around this plant being used for ritualistic endeavors to find and personalize our God experience in many societies dating back to prehistoric era doesn't mean it can help us transcend into a higher or lower state of conscious. This of course depends on the intention of course with level of standard, but most pot I've found does not aid in meditative practices. Doesn't mean we cannot use almond butter & say keep the gloves on, but spank lightly ;P Dark Star is one of the few exceptions to me as being a cannabis that compliments my meditative practice in gentle usage. That practice is a simple 5-20 min actually timed with an app that has a cool gong sound so there is no need for any focus except to keep coming back to here & now. I sit up, don't block out outside stimuli just use it as a tool to redirect me back to right here, right now. Pot is amazing for so many things, but not getting me to sit still, focus directly on not focusing without 1. going off on a tangent in my head. 20 minutes daydreaming about blah, blah, blah....... 2. the all powerful "munchie", that craving comes in small, but 30 seconds later the only gong I'm waiting for is the toaster oven with some nachos. 3.More often sleep is the culprit with sitting up being enough to keep me transcending staying conscious. As the years pass there is no safeguard from nodding off except standing which takes the calming effect away. Sativa or not weed relaxes me to the point of sleep more often than not. Dark Star named appropriately for its ability to take us to cosmic levels in the deep space of our soul. With a funky earthy smell that puts out clove-like incense smell reminiscent to something that might be smelled at an ancient ritual, but super dank.. Was lucky to get some from TJ's which usually prices me out, but honestly it is quality & worth the price so not complaining. Not to mention TJs service to our cannabis community. And talk about cosmic didn't realize it but now that at home the strains "Stella Blue", "Dark Star" & "Deadhead OG" were my dispensary hopping choices this evening. Listening to Candyman while rolling a threeway Grateful salad joint and this dark star will crash being smoked into ash.....
