Panama Punch

Has been one of my favorite strains in a while, made me very giggly and my cheeks hurt from ambient smiling. Didn't make me feel too high in the head, just really happy with whatever I was doing at the time. Great strain if that's something you're looking for, definitely one of my favorites as someone with very severe PTSD.

I'll admit I'm new to using weed medicinally (which is a shame considering), but here's my two cents. 1 - No weird bursts of paranoia so far. This may change if you smoke too much, however. 2 - Focus and energy, but not so much you can't relax if the situation allows for it. 3 - Pain relief AND relief of anxiety related to the pain at the same time, which is a weird double-whammy that I didn't expect. Personally, I find this to be more effective AND less problematic for treating ADHD in women (and all the requisite symptoms, like depression and anxiety) than Strattera, Adderall, Ritalin, or Vyvanse. ymmv, though. It also helps with pain relief and doesn't cause Crohn's flares, which means it's more effective for that than opioids. I'm honestly shocked. I struggle with anxiety that caused me to worry that I wouldn't like this strain. As such, here are some strains I've enjoyed in the past, and some that had some mixed effects for me (I call it my strain profile). If you tend to enjoy my chosen strains, then Panama Punch might be right for you. Enjoyed: Forbidden Fruit - Very clear focus w/o anxiety White Widow - Mild anxiety, but motivation and energy to do something about the anxiety. Afternoon Delight - Pain relief + flexibility of use. Blue Dream - Best strain for sleep I've ever seen, especially when coupled with pain relief. Gelato - Great balance between the focus of White Widow and the flexibility of use of Afternoon Delight. Enjoyed but experienced weird side effects: Acapulco Gold - Was more easily triggered (I also have PTSD), especially if used in excess. Northern Lights - Weird PTSD dreams. Also wasn't as effective for pain relief as you'd expect with an Indica. Truffle Butter - I don't know how to describe this, but I was convinced that something in my house was on fire every time I used this strain because I could smell it. Nothing was ever on fire or smelled like fire. Also, I was using a vape pen, so there wasn't any smoke smell, either. DID NOT ENJOY: Sour Diesel - Paranoia even when used in small amounts. Headache. White Durban - No noticeable effects unless used in heavy amounts. If you use it too heavily, it overwhelms you and leaves you unable to do anything. Red Velvet - Most awful migraine I've ever had in my life. Weird taste in my mouth. I don't remember experiencing any actual enjoyment from this one tbh. Everyone is different, of course.

It does indeed punch. It feels like the perfect hybrid that gives you an amazing head buzz while simultaneously making your whole body feel like it’s floating. Perfect for doing small hobby-esque activities like reading, watching a film, playing video games, etc.
