Hempstar, now known as "Brainstorm," was developed by Dutch Passion Seeds as a tribute to all the hempsters and the international hemp movement. This sativa-dominant strain was originally a three-way cross between Skunk, Oasis, and Haze, but Dutch Passion later brought Northern Lights #5 and Haze together to create the modern Brainstorm strain. It has a mild taste and traditional sativa effects.

Veri nais strain altough normally I am not into sativas at all. This one hits pretty hard, but I feel like I get some of the indica effecs of the Northern lights aswell which I like!

My favourite daytime strain to get stuff done. It's a very uplifting high, but not overwhelming. It makes me energetic, happy, yet focused and driven. Made cleaning my house a pleasant and enjoyable chore. It hits quickly, and last a decent time. Found it a bit harsh but only used a old school metal pipe. Generic taste and smell. It can make me slighlty anxious if I smoke too much, but I prefer to stay at a low to mid-level high. One or two hits every other hour is all I really need. Only downside are the very intense munchies. I'm usually pretty good at dealing with the cravings, but on Hempstar, I'm helpless.

This strain smells like fresh citrusy lemons growing in a rain forest. Once it's ground, it smells like a blast of tropical citrus that tinges the nostrils. It was so enticing that I literally accidentally snorted a little bit because I couldn't get enough of the smell. When you smoke it it tastes Mother Earth put her dick in a rain forest. And the high has me high enough that I just wrote that. Head feels nice and clear but very stoned at the same time.

this is a very nice strain. i just had a nice wake and bake with my boyfriend out of our new bong and it was defiantly a nice way to start my morning. it wakes you up and it hit me pretty quickly. it’s been a few minutes since i’ve smoked it and the effects of it being sativa are very obvious. it is a little harsh and has a peppery taste to it. i found that smoking it out of the bong or smoking it in a blunt makes it taste much better. it is very uplifting as well and has put me in a good mood. highly recommend💚

Hempstar produces very nice looking buds. Mine are light green with mischievous orange hairs everywhere. An inviting frosty layer coats the whole nug. Pungent earthy tones are what I'm getting and there's an underlying scent I can't put my finger on...it's an herbal almost basil-ish smell. The bust is mediocre but the vapour is thick and smooth giving an earthy taste. The effects are nice and strong and motivate you to want to get something done. Even if you feel like chilling and you try this strain you might be surprised to find that you'd rather get up and do something. Later... Another task accomplished while feeling lovely. Even when Hempstar leaves there's no fatigue or overwhelming desire to eat. I can't think of anything negative with this strain. She does what a Sativa should and does it well. For sure try some, it'll help with boring tasks.

Ordered hempstar off of "getwhite palm.com and delivery was as always prompt and service excellent. As for the strain as soon as I opened the first of 4 bags it was packaged in I could smell the pungent odour like a punch in the face and got my papers out and rolled just a small sativa sized joint and WOW!! It was like I just took some sort of upper and my energy level sored and I started cleaning my house with pleasure. Great head high and effects lasted well after I was done my cleaning fit. Overall this is a fantastic strain for morning or early afternoon if you want to get stuff done. Great strain and great dispensary , would highly recombine both.

one of my favorites for sure. I'm all sativa for I hate being sleepy while high. anyways, if you want to be high, but yet focused, and get shit done, this is the go to strain.

Try it.. It'll be one of your go to sativa strains for sure.. Great taste and smell, perfect combo of pine and sweet/fruityness. High is not overwhelming but strong, and it definitely had the biggest buds I've seen since I started ordering online. Given it's parents are haze and northern lights it's no wonder it has such strong characteristics.
