New Strains Alert: Big Bang, Frisian Dew, Green Poison, Jamaican Lion, and Purple Gorilla

In the challenge of great purple primates, Grape Ape is the alpha, with Purple Gorilla runner-up. Not as dense but just as sticky. Tastes of earth and citrus, very   diesel / skunk / chem / pungent, no noticeable grape flavor. Good anytime medication for pain, happiness and relaxation.

This shit sat me down after three hits. It's some of the best weed I've had in recent memory. I mean I couldn't walk for half an hour... ✌️

This is the very dank. Dark purple and musky/earthy. The first time I enjoyed it, I took giant puffs and it snuck up on me. I was in a twilight state for hours. I felt no pain (I had been in terrible pain before smoking) and I could feel the smile lift my face a little more every so often. This strain is so dreamy I would take it to the home coming dance. 

I read somewhere that if you can, you should space your sleep out in two 4-5 hour intervals with languid music-listening, sex-having or journaling in between. The Purple Gorilla makes that a reality. I would definitely buy again.

very fruity berry flavor in the volcano. Definitely a killer purple strain with lots of funky flavor and dark hues!

This that grade A budd, smells and taste great. Finally got my connect to get this and then copped a half oz of it just had too.

Beautiful purple buds with an earthy but sweet  aroma. The burn is okay and the high is mellow , relaxing and makes you not too Tired. Considering it's mostly indica. But overall a great strain and beautiful buds you just don't want to break. 

omg..this is so smooth..it is really the purple version of a good gorilla glue...giving you purple chill and high of the gorilla
