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.

Erth wellness strain specific 10mg edible (i take half a gummy, so ~5mg, as is my tolerance) Symptoms and insights : creeper high, dry mouth, dry eyes (which is a preference for me, because my eyes get cold when im high and being cold and wet isnt ideal. The more often i take this strain the less cold my eyes get though.) Poor short term memory, very late stage tingles (5-7+ hours in), euphoric "everything is great" couchlock (3-5+ hours in). Not good with important conversations, you'll forget what was said and need at least 30 seconds to form a response. No noticable CBD hangover. Everything moves in slow motion, fantastic for watching movies or TV especially detective or crime shows. Music is elevated. Everything has a deeper meaning to it. Very introspective and methodical, but never quite paranoid. Everything is just kinda under a blanket of calm. Everything is okay when you take this strain. I've gone out in public after taking this strain and its not unbearable, but I definitely recommend going within the first 2-3 hours because after that you're gonna be standing in an aisle staring at something for 5 minutes trying to figure out every detail about it. You WILL be hungry. Prepare thoroughly. I have invested in a "Snackle box", a tackle box full of different kinds of snacks, it truly does help. Have everything you could possibly need within arms reach, food, water, remote, nail clippers if you're a fidgeter, a pillow, a blanket, a fan, even more food and water (trust me, overestimate the need for a snack and a good drink). Good for reading, good for scrolling online, good for methodical online games, good for binge watching, good for watching paint dry. If you're at home with nothing to do all day, take a gummy. You'll thank yourself later.

Ok, so. Round two. Admittedly my first smoke which ended on the nearer side of Dragon Ride is because I A: STUFFED the bowl full WELL beyond it's capacity with PRIMO nugs. B: Scraped the entire keef catch from the entirety of 2024 and 2025. and C: Scraped my remaining Liquid DIamonds as hard as the Keef Catch. I pushed that bowl to like, 10 tokes minimal, bruh I was absolutely buggin... THIS TIME, However. After sesh cough isn't nearly as bad (I didn't smoke nearly as much). The in itial head high gets fairly mothershipped. and then it just goes straight to creative fun! like. I'm listeeing to Stoners by Berner, B-Real and Wiz Khalifa and i'm imagining this newfie dog wit a beanie, right... and he's just smilin' and pantin', his eyes all red and his head just a swayin' to the beat of the song and his droopy cheeks just a swaying back and forth right along! You know... you keep it moderate on this strain and it can be pretty damned fun, with no Kush Rush paranoia at all! If you try and have somethin' to prove and you'll fuck aroun' n ride the dragon on this bud just the same as any Sativa! Among the absolute best Hybrid Indica's I've had. MUCH more social and chill than just locked. 5 stars, unquestionable. MEMORABLE high.

One of my go to strains for all occasions I don't know why people say it's a creeper because to me it's not. Sometimes the heavier indica effects come at the back end which is why it's more like a indica hybrid to me. I have diverticulitis or a rare form of it. I've smoked GDP a least a decade before MD made medical legal. first the 23-25% is very misleading. maybe it's the terps but it feels more like a 30% to me. Besides the nausea it helps with abdominal pain. it helps with anxiety and I get instantly happy when smoked. I'll notice myself smiling. Also if you stay moving it doesn't sink you to the bed or couch like other indicas do. I enjoy a good brownie scout or animal face or snoop dog OG at night but the GDP doesn't put me out like the others mentioned. it's like an all occasions bud. Brought some on a cruise with a cart and had no problems staying awake and doing things. but it's my favorite so maybe it effects me different but please don't say it's a creeper. in MD I can get 1/8 for $25 or half for $100 depending on the sales. better than 55 for some of the indicas on the market that claim to be over 30%>

GDP is the 1st strain to help me sleep. I’m recovering from knee replacement surgery and periodically wake up with pain. GDP puts me out for a couple hours at a time and stops the knee pain. I keep the vape pen by my bedside and typically only need 1/2 hit to do the job but careful not to do too much, as it will stimulate my mind and can’t go to sleep. Highly recommended for pain relief and sleep.

Copped an ounce from WNC CBD and it's by far my favorite vendor I've gotten this strain from. Absolutely amazing quality. No matter vaped or smoked it tasted like a sour grape church wine it was sooo amazing to taste out if a dry herb vape though. Super nice flavor, super nice colors of dark purples and orange hairs. All around good strain. Very relaxing too.

This is by far the BEST strain I have ever smoked! I had it for the 1st time in CA back in '81, the 1st sticky bud I'd seen & I was flying high. Had it again in PA in flower again & was so high I got lost on my way to the kitchen. It's also a creeper, so start out slow or you too will get lost in your own living room. Just picked up a 4 gm vape of GDP & 3 hits & I'm flying again!

Granddaddy Purple is an really exquisite strain. It helps with: Sleeping, anxiety and a bunch of other stuff. If your with friends and just want to have a chill day at home smoking, i really recommend it. But be ready to get hungry because munchies with this particular strain is very strong, also it makes you very sleepy, i fell asleep twice in the span of 3 days smoking this strain, so be vary of that aswell. I give this strain an 9.5 out of 10, the 0.5 reduction is from the very dry eyes and mouth you get plus it made my head hurt a few times.
