Nicely balanced. Not necessarily for people with paranoia/anxiety issues that get worse with cannabis.

Had this in both RSO highlighting the CBG for energy/focus/digestion, and quartz dab straw hits of standard live resin extract, where production was focused on the overall experience, rather than the medical aspects. Neither were impressive, nor gave me the quality of energy and focus of superior strains of a similar type, like Electric Lemonade, Green Crack, etc. Put another way, even if the "edge" cannabis sometimes gives is what you're looking for, (it's great for some, and hell on earth for others), this ain't it. It does work, in time, for nausea, as many others do, but as is the case with the rest of them, the serious anti-emetic effects don't start until around the time the munchies start in strains where that happens. For an average male, around 30-45 minutes after consumption, regardless of form, IME. fastest form is ticture, best strains are chemdog, and especially sour deisel, children.

I've been a cannabis user and activist since the 80's, and voted for our state to be the 1st recreation-legal state. We won, (CO did too, same year), and so for the last 11 years, for which, for the recent half, I've been a patient. I've had access to a massive assortment of strains, concentrates, cannabinoids, terpene formulations, phenotypes, live/DOH/cured, edibles, etc., that I use pretty much all the time, and the one thing I knew when I went to a dispensary, without a doubt, was that the quality of their GDP was going to work for me. GDP is in my top 3 or 4, and depending on what I need at that moment, is often #1. It's been at the top of my list for well over a decade. The taste is epic, the high is relaxing; stress just melts away, and aches and pains don't have quite the same bite to them. You can couch-lock by ripping bong rip after bong rip, or dab after dab, but usually, I'm just really, really relaxed. I may not *want* to do things, but I can if I want to, and it doesn't feel like my ass is dragging. All around fantastic strain for any time you're already well awake, but have nothing that you have to really pay attention to until you're expecting to sleep. [Read: Wake-n-bake is not recommended.] Combinations with Super Silver Haze and Sour D, (etc., AKA Montana Silvertip and Sour Grapes, respectively), usually do exactly what you'd want to do to a sativa to make it usable all-day. It takes a bit of the wiry, psychedelic edge off while not diminishing the benefits, and provides a bit more chill sociability. In contrast to some others here, I have to mention, I experience chronic nausea and vomiting from a medical condition that out-battles the drugs they give to chemo patients, and this stuff doesn't even touch it. If you're looking to quell nausea, GDP is NOT the answe. I highly suggest finding a strain with Sour Diesel or Chemdawg genetics not too far off from what you have in your hand. They don't work fast, (no cannabis really does, and none works at all for the hardcore nausea), but you'll be a lot better after 45 minutes, (when the munchies start to kick). That means you have to stay ahead of it by around an hour, like you would when managing pain. The reason my experience differs with others may be because... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- ALL THIS COMES WITH A HUGE CAVEAT -- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: I'm wondering when someone on this site decided to usurp Big Bud x Purple Urkle as the genetics for this strain? I mean, you can reach and trace back to MP x Af x Sk to the first set of listed genetics from the *actual* cross... if your yoga is excellent. For at least a decade or so, GDP was BB x PU; here, and in most other well known cannabis strain "definition" sites. Granddaddy Purple isn't a creeper. Whoever cobbled together the first set of genetics listed in the strain description, (now), doesn't remember that it's quite often a bad idea to try to make an almost perfect thing better, especially if you're going to try to sell the perversion, passing it off as the original. The GDP I've had for my entire legally-consuming life has been my favorite indica, and always reliable, no matter who grows it. BIG, BUSHY yields too, or so I'm told. Sounds great for everyone, right? Now, because Leafly decided there's a "generally accepted" alternate set of genetics, everyone thinks that it's okay to twist the formula and keep the name. It's probably going to get experimented with and diluted, while people cross, backcross, and cross again, staying within those genetic boundaries, and I'm going to get stuck with "GDP" that's got strong SKUNK running through it, and that's just FLAT OUT WRONG. Please, let's not cater to those trying to perfect the next big CONSUMER genetics line, and preserve some of these classics. You want to cross Afghani, Skunk, and Mendo Purps into some beautiful, stoney, delicious, green and purple moster that just wants to be nice to people? That's great! That's FANTASTIC!! I LOVE THAT!!! Just don't call it GDP, please? Grandma[mma] Purple is available, and seems like a natural extension. I did the work for the cannabis marketers. I claim no copyright for any of this blurb. Use GMP, and leave my medicine alone. /rant.

Ignore stars, information purposes only, not a review. From elsewhere: "Indica Dominant Hybrid Strain Indica Dominant Hybrid - 60% Indica / 40% Sativa THC: 23% - 30% Dark Plasma is a rare slightly indica dominant hybrid strain (60% indica/40% sativa) created through crossing the potent Girl Scout Cookies Forum Cut X Obi-Wan OG Kush strains. Prepare to get totally lost within your own mind with Dark Plasma. This gorgeous lady packs a super potent and full-bodied high that will have you quickly fading into oblivion in both mind and body. The high starts with a subtle lift in the back of the head that fills your mind with a sense of happy hazy euphoria and ease. This will soon become heavy, leaving your eyes and head drooping as your body begins to settle into a hearty couch-lock. Absolute sedation comes next, dropping you into a state of pure peaceful sleep that lasts for hours and hours on end. With these effects and its super high 23-30% average THC level, Dark Plasma is often chosen to treat experienced patients suffering from conditions such as chronic pain, appetite loss or nausea, insomnia, depression, chronic stress, and chronic fatigue. This bud has a sweet diesel cookie flavor with a lightly sour herbal exhale. The aroma is very pungent with an earthy diesel overtone that both sweetens and sours as the nugs are burned. Dark Plasma bud have small dense rounded bright neon green nugs with lots of thin orange hairs and a coating of tiny frosty white crystal trichomes."

The "strain science" and main description contradict each other. Might want to fix that.

This is a YMMV warning for paranoia/anxiety prone consumers: I smoked this for over a decade with zero problems, often awesome benefits that reduce those symptoms generally... with flower. I took a small hit of 92% fresh press rosin and it triggered a massive panic attack. If you are prone to anxiety and have been fine with AK flower, PLEASE start really slow with its concentrates.

Just dropped in to point out that the description says the dominant terpene is limonene, but the terpene profile section says it's caryophyllene. Considering that they have different effects, this probably should be clarified.

I'm a lightweight, I used to smoke a ton, but these days I usually only smoke about 4-5 bowl hits a day. Phat Panda's OG Chem turns that into 1/2 a hit - 2 hits. This stuff, at ~37% THC, is the strongest flower I've ever encountered. It can definitely be overwhelming for one who doesn't smoke much, I usually relegate this to the end of the day when I'm done dealing with people because it rocks me, not in a paranoid way as much as a stupefied way, running at the mouth and forgetting what I'm saying half-way through saying it or losing my train of though completely. Not for noobz, but certainly worth seeking out for the connoisseur.
