Silverback Gorilla, also known as "Silver Gorilla," is an indica marijuana strain made from a cross between Grape Ape and Super Silver Haze. For the first time, Dian Fossey isn’t the only person able to enjoy life with the gorillas. For those struggling with insomnia and stress, Silverback Gorilla is a must-try strain. While typically gentle and relaxed, this indica can pack a punch. Fast-acting and hard-hitting, the potency of Silverback Gorilla may come as a surprise. Silverback Gorilla is strictly for nighttime consumption. This strain features a musky, piney aroma similar to a morning walk in the forest, this strain provides a truly relaxing experience. While this Silverback isn’t endangered, it is slightly uncommon, making it potentially difficult to find but well worth the trek.

It's an OK strain, it's not as sedative as it says. It's just Grape Ape mixed with Super Silver Haze. Don't get me wrong it's pretty good, not good enough for a warning to be put in the description. A solid 4 star strain.

This is my go-to strain for treating insomnia. Silverback Gorilla puts me to sleep straight away, and not in that gross, groggy, narcotic way that you get from sleeping pills. It's more like, you feel genuinely cozy and comfy in your own bed, and your whole body drinks up sleep like a sponge soaking up delicious brandy. I always sleep soundly after a hit of Gorilla, and my iPhone's sleep monitor data has shown it to be true: a deeper sleep, no tossing and turning, and very little snoring, always waking up to feel genuinely rested the following morning. Needless to say, this is a nighttime strain, BUT, I will also mention that I once had an ***amazing*** orgasm while high on it. I'm an asexual individual who's suffered from depression for years, and frankly I have very little excitement going on between my legs. I literally just DON'T get horny. But one night I vaped a hit of the Gorilla and moments later I was spontaneously aroused to the point of getting myself off, and it was INCREDIBLE... the kind of long, slow delicious, full-body, 4th-of-July fireworks orgasm I've only ever had before while having sex with another person. And after it was over I laid there and laughed deliriously for a good five minutes. So, if you're looking for a strain that will enhance your sexual experience, GET DOWN WITH THE SILVERBACK GORILLA and see what happens. Just be aware that you'll probably fall straight asleep afterwards. And oh yeah, this flower LOOKS amazing — black petals with a fine silvery fuzz, just like the creature it's named after. And the SMELL is a heady, musky, animal smell, very powerful and earthy. You may find yourself huffing it even at times when you're not smoking it. A truly magical herb!

hadn't had this for weeks, cleaned out my vax mini, took a small nug, ground it, and it was heavenly to vape. delicious- pungent chemical/ sort of berryish dankness... I bet old used trays that carried berries from a farm would smell similar. thick cloud, but real smooth. appearance wise it looks crazy. keep it jarred up with a bovena pak to keep the perfect cure. frosty strain. purple orange green and furry AF. medication wise it obliterated the stress I had after studying for school. that anxiety is poof-gone. this is a heavy potent strain, you will first get the haze sativa feel and then slammed with heavy eyes and body melts. for insomnia bigtime. helped my ADD by slowing me down, but I'm still coherent. dont ask me to walk though... the normal head pain I usually got before getting my license would kill at higher temps, and my body would overheat, it cannot control my body temp correctly or that the nerves are misfiring.... either case indica hybrids help at night time. this leans more Indica to me. at 31T it's a knockout. looking forward to having sativa during the day and getting yardwork done. lifechanger, these plants. much respect
