May work for other people, but not for me. Literally put me in a bad space. Offy meds for ADD and does not fuse well with crashes 😵‍💫

Sunday Morning wake and bake report: I bought some Bittersweet flower at a Surterra in Fl last night. It is 25% THC and 0.21% CBD. I don’t know about the terps, can’t find the COA right now. I’m a regular dabber/vaper, and often have oils that are 85% + THC, but my tolerance started to get too high, so I’ve taken a mini t-break and switched to flower for about a week or so. Despite my high THC tolerance, I’m high as shit right now. I can tell it’s a Sativa leaning hybrid. I’m getting a heavy head high with a slight body high. I am watching funny stoner videos on YouTube and feel very giggly, relaxed, and focused. I’m bipolar (manic depressive) and in a pretty shitty life situation right now. This strain is helping with the slight depression and stress without making me anxious or manic. I definitely plan to get more of this in the future. PS: I was suffering slight back pain this morning. It is now gone, so I’d rate this one as a good choice for mild-moderate pain control as well.

This strain “stinks” but is an amazing strain. The second you peel the seal the smell just levels you . One bowl in the vape was perfect. Had me feeling all kinds of chill, but also had me go on a walk at 11pm with my AirPods blasting. Very funky bitter smell (hence name), but a fantastic smoke .10/10

Hi plant lovers. ❤️I picked up Bittersweet from Curaleaf, NJ a few months back. As a novice I’m loving learning about the different strains and range of effects. Banana Puddintain was my 1st Sativa leaning purchase, and it still rates highly as one of my Top Buds for giggles, connection, and creativity. I found Bittersweet to fall into this category except for one notable difference- Bittersweet’s propensity to spark an intense “Sweet tooth” craving. It’s a great appetite stimulant so Good idea to have your favorite munchies on hand.

I’ve had two different experiences in two completely different surroundings. I have extreme anxiety, panic attack disorder and insomnia so I’m always looking for something to help with these. The first experience I was with a small group of friends who were getting agitated. I initially felt a sense of relaxation but then listening to the agitation it started giving me an anxious feeling. But it did also give me the power to get up and remove myself. The second experience was my evening alone time. tonight bittersweet has really helped me to mellow out and relax physically. My head is clearing. I feel like I’m ready for bed. So my final thoughts so far… know what company you’ll be in when using this strain. Because the company may affect how you overall feel.

I was surprised to see this gem at my local dispo, anything with GMO genetics is top notch, so I had to buy some. My god, it DID NOT disappoint!! I was immediately couch locked, filled with euphoria but still had the energy to do a "minor/small" task. Bittersweet would probably get more attention if "GMO" was referenced in the name, just saying, but it's certainly one of the best heavy hitting hybrids I've smoked! Straight 🔥🔥🔥
