UW is a marijuana strain that comes with its own superhero origin story. Popular rumor has it that a clone was stolen from a certain Pacific Northwest university's medical research lab in the early nineties—in some versions by a rogue graduate student—and has since been a popular top-shelf indica. These dense, sticky buds show their university pride with purple coloring and are at the top of the class when it comes to potency. UW's powerful high is sedative and popular for pain relief and insomnia. A mix of tropical fruit and a little spice, the aroma also earns high marks.

Should of added this to first review, just below. I live in WA state, and suffer from chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia. I also have GI issues, and liver issues that make any Rx pain meds contra indicated. And I don't want them. I found this strain in a vape cartridge, by a reputable and 3rd party tested seller of specific strain concentrates here in WA. It's proper! (Don't want to push any brand) It is not the original UW, but the 80/20 indica. High THC, low CBD. And the effects are just as described, a perfect medicinal indica. Nothing helps my insomnia. I smoke all day, mostly indica hybrids. This one knocks me out in less then an hour. And a puff puts me back to sleep if waking. For those who don't want much cerebral stimulation, just pure a euphoric, relaxing body high that lulls one to sleep fast if wanted. Or just the "I am not moving today...period strain with lords naps and food and tv. Best indica. And the taste? Wow. 💯

I am in love with UW Purple. I have been fighting an opioid addiction and been sober from Fentynal for 8 + months now and UW Purple is literally like medicine from Yahweh himself when I smoke some of this amazing stuff. The medicinal qualities of this strain are so good for stress relief and relaxation at night or during a rough week of work, stress etc... I can make 2 .05Gram pre rolls last a week or two ... I just light one take a few puffs and put it out and I'm good to fall into my couch and then to bed shortly after I smoke and chill.

"What is this strain? It puts me to sleep." "UW" "What's it supposed to do?" "Put you to sleep." "Then I love it."
