I bought this strain called Purple Medi, (aka Medi-Purple), from a dispensary. This is a PAIN RELIEVER and INSTANT SLEEP medicine and NOTHING ELSE. It is probably one of the world's most perfect: pain-relievers. Don't expect any euphoria. This strain is actually just medicine.
TL;DR: Purple Medi will forcibly and SAFELY put you into a DEEP, PROLONGED, PAINLESS sleep. That's it. That is a GODSEND to people with medical issues and USELESS to people looking for euphoria.
As a PAIN RELIEVER and/or INSTANT SLEEP medicine, it is PERFECT. That this the basis on which I gave it 5 stars - it does its ONE medical function PERFECTLY. End of story.
Make no mistake, this is a PERFECT medicine for those who NEED a medicine like this. Thus it DESERVES a 5/5 star as a Medicine. It's got NO recreational value. It's a LIFE-SAVER to those who need it, and TOTALLY USELESS to those who don't need it.
Hard, bordering on IMPOSSIBLE, to find this strain on the internet. I will continue to edit this review as I use it more often, so that the World has information on this strain.
Nugs are dark purple to ultra-dark green. Incredibly DARK colors. Very frosty nugs up close (aka a lot of thick trichomes), it almost looks like they landed in snow or you pulled them out of a very humid freezer and they're covered in frost. They're so frosty, they actually would LOOK like you FROZE your weed to a passerby. They really look Frozen at room temp. They have a lot of pistils, but they're hard to see because even the pistils (orange bits) are COVERED in trichomes (frost).
Effects are SUPER-MEDICAL. In that, for the first 30 mins, you get relaxed feeling where you can still get a little video-watching done, but not much work, but over that time, you begin to feel your brain flexing is the best way I can put it. The sides and front of your brain contract like it's a muscle, or at least it feels that way, and all the pain in your brain disappears. Because it's a PAIN RELIEVER, it's not terribly euphoric. It mostly is just a ridiculously powerful pain reliever with minimal euphoria. It puts you to sleep 1.5hr after use, if you took enough of it. You WILL NOT be able to escape the sleep. Be careful not to take too much, it creeps up on you.
About an hour in, the relief moves into your neck and back and lower back. Then it moves to legs, and ankles, and feet (if you take enough).
This strain creeps up on you so BE CAREFUL. I OD'd on it once, and it just became too much of a pain-reliever and that was DISCONCERTING, and caused me a headache to think about in such a painless, detached, groggy sleepy state.
The only reason this didn't get a PERFECT 5-Star review AS A MEDICINE is that there is absolutely NO euphoria. If you take Valium you get pain relief + EUPHORIA. But Valium is DANGEROUS to take regularly, and can cause amnesia! (!!!!) I've only taken Valium twice, but I REMEMBER Valium. The Euphoria on Valium is nothing short of AMAZING. Valium is the best euphoria in the world. But Valium is basically a poison if taken frequently, so it's not comparable to Purple Medi as a medicine. I certainly am NOT willing to risk taking something as neuro-toxic as Valium again.
Purple Medi does EXPONENTIALLY MORE GOOD than Valium medically, but EXPONENTIALLY LESS than Valium recreationally.
Purple Medi is TOTALLY SAFE, as far as I can feel, but the price you pay for taking a SAFE medicine is that you don't get any euphoria. So if you JUST want medicine, you got it in Purple Medi. The following day you are back to normal after a long sleep. So the sleep is elongated which, FOR ME, is bad, and unlike some other strains which leave you feeling REFRESHED the following day, this leaves you feeling TOTALLY NORMAL. Which, FOR ME, is worse than refreshed because at least a refreshed feeling is euphoric. And especially because you over-slept, it will make you feel guilty about taking it. Again, this would also be a PERFECT 5/5 medicine for someone who wants to sleep. This is BETTER THAN NyQuil by a mile for knocking you out into an impossible to escape from, deep sleep.
This strain is for someone who wants either to be knocked out into a long sleep, AND massive pain relief in the back and brain, and legs, and not much else.
That makes it a PERFECT medical compound, but a not so useful recreational compound.
Is this strain good for depression or anxiety? Well, during usage your anxiety WILL go away, but you'll feel so medicated, you won't even be able to care that you lost your anxiety, because you're essentially now passing out. So if you're looking for FUNCTIONAL anxiety relief: No. If you're simply looking to pass out: Yes.
Is it good for depression? Maybe. It certainly made me feel less depressed, but the anti-depressant effect only relieves 5%-50% of your depression at most. It replaces your lost 50% of depression with feeling REALLY BORED the following day after taking this, because I just lost >>12+ hours to sleep.
Personally, I probably won't be looking to use this long term, because I don't have specific medical conditions that this medicine would resolve.
But, make no mistake, this is a PERFECT medicine for those who NEED a medicine like this. Thus it DESERVES a 5/5 star as a Medicine. It's got no recreational value.
