Papaya is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that is known for producing a mental calmness, though many consumers also find that this strain makes them energetic and productive. Nirvana Seeds bred this to be their take on a Mango strain and crossed Citral #13 with Ice #2 to make their own fruit. They met their own challenge and Papaya smells uncannily like its namesake. The taste is similar to its tropical fruit counterpart, but a spicy, peppery side also becomes apparent. The plants stay fairly short and thin, producing lots of fluffy buds with papaya-orange hairs in 8 or 9 weeks.

Medical user here; I use Leafly often for researching strains & terps, but haven't ever posted a review. Papaya from Society C - live resin cartridge- had such a profound effect on me that I felt I needed to share it with other med users. Purchased from Higher Love in the U.P., my #1 go-to dispo. I'm one of those users who the strain had an uplifting effect on, even though it's an Indica-dominant hybrid. Ailments are chronic illness and pain, anxiety and stress, general malaise, fatigue, inability to focus. First time I tried this I was dealing with the after effects of insomnia and a sleep aid, so was groggy and heavy as s**t. It's worth it to get good sleep, but I definitely needed something to perk me up and my iced coffee wasn't helping. Had the day off so I figured it was a perfect time to wake and bake and try one of the 2 gram live resins that I just gotten the day before. It literally cured everything I was dealing with and made it so I was able to eat and get out of bed. It's not the first time I've experienced this uplifting effect from another Indica, and can get a downer effect from a Sativa (I feel like it might have something to do with the potential allergic effects of limonene & linalool, found heavily in many Sativas, but that's a different post).... Anyway, definitely try Papaya if you see it; I'm floating on some happy, creative grooves.

If I could give this more than 5 stars it would be a 10 out of 10....I bought this in bud form 4 times in the last 2 months because it works for almost every ailment I've known for most of my adult life....endometriosis, cramps, multiple sclerosis pain, water retention, depression episodes etc.... Knocks them all out or it makes me not care at all about any of it but makes me stupid happy and free feeling and ready to do things..I become canna-mom getting shit done w a smile and music on.. It will make you want to listen to music for me it's dance music like DJ Allen Walker and tom morello and singers such as Bebe rexha and bludnymph etc.... Plus you get creative....after my energy level reduces I took notice Ive been super wanting to and coloring in my "swearing cats vol 2" adult coloring book for a few days as an evening wind down... HIGHLY RECOMMEND this beautiful looking, tasting, and effect strain

After about a 12 year gap from consuming cannabis I am now back to smoking. Where I live(near Michigan) it has never been so accessible in such a professional manner. I am 36 years old and it blows my mind every time I visit a dispensary. This strand, Papaya, has just consumed me. I have bad ADHD and trouble sleeping, even after working 10 hours in the scaffold industry. I prefer carts and dispo's. I tried a LightSkyFarms cart that was Papaya and I couldn't believe what I was tasting and the effects were just what I needed. Very calming, peaceful. It helps put my mind and body at ease. I now found RKive Cannabis Live Rosin disposables and their Papaya literally tastes like Papaya. It's the best. I don't get any paranoia, I do get dry mouth, but everything else is just so SMOOOOOTH. This strand instantly made my top 3, maybe even my favorite. It's between Papaya, Cake strands, and Mimosa's. Indica Forever. p.s. shop at Urb!
