People go bananas for the Grape ape strain for several reasons. Created from a mix of Mendocino Purps, Skunk, and Afghani strains, the result is a mid-range potency strain with a distinct sweet and skunky grape aroma to the bud. Grape Ape has high concentrations of the terpenes myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene in it due to the crossing of Mendocino Purps, Skunk, and Afghani strains. The parent strains of this Grape Ape are some of the first recorded strains ever used to create a lot of the OGs we see today. Mendocino Purps comes from a North American indica, Skunk 1 comes from Acapulco and Colombian Gold as well as Afghani, and the Afghani strain’s origins are unknown.

When smoking Grape Ape, users have reported feeling a boost in appetite, deeply relaxed, and even sleepy, also noting some pain, stress, and anxiety relief. Side-effects may include dry mouth, dry eyes, and feeling a little dizzy. Not to worry though; the effects are only temporary and can potentially subside to a calm sedation.
