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."

UW by Mother Earth Farms listed as an indica with a THC of 21% the most recent batch of which had 2.86% CBG and 13% CBG in the rosin version. This was my go to everyday strain for six months! Its has a earthy minty taste with a eucalyptus retro nasal. the high is a relaxing functional one very balanced body high super low anxiety. I think the CBG in conjunction with the terpene profile and other cannabinoids hit me personally very well. A better all around mood about life and it has the unique ability to help me be more awake when I wake up in the morning if I have it the night before. I highly recommend this strain to any indica lovers or people who just like to kick back and unwind to some good music.

I smoked the real UW cancer research strain in 1987 and will never forget it. Got it from a student that knew someone growing it for the UW and of course it got around to a few select groups. The stuff going around now is some purple strain that's been mixed into it, possibly and it's called UW Purple. The original was lime green, had an extremely Indica buzz and had a real light piney taste. It was super light weight buds, that were very dense though, not airy at all. It gave you a very heavy feeling behind the eyes and you could eat 3 Dicks Deluxe with fries, tartars and a Chocolate Shake, no problem. That's why they called it Cancer research weed. Chemo patients were able to eat.

UW is one of the finest, damn near pure indicas available, and without a doubt my favorite genetically "purple" strain (I say genetically to distinguish between strains that assume a purple coloration naturally as part of their genetics and those that are only compelled to purple through a "cold shock" during growth). UW has the same flowery, rose-like odor and flavor characteristic of other big purple strains (e.g. GDP, Purple Urkel, God's Gift, etc.) but complements it with a huge bouquet of pungent-yet-sweet berry and earth flavors. It's something you have you experience to fully appreciate and its a big part of why this strain is most definitely a 5-star strain. The other part, of course, is the high. UW knocks you flat with a warm, all-encompassing, deeply narcotic stone that will take the edge off of anything. Pain, stress, anything....and for my money there is just no better treatment for insomnia than this strain. If you ever come across it, get as much as you can because this is top shelf recreation and medicine.

Top indica choice for me. Especially like it since I when to University of Washington where this was originally grown. It’s very popular here in Seattle, and especially when it was more prevalent in the medical years. Very relaxing high. Body heavy, gets rid of worries and tension. Puts me to sleep. Perfect insomnia and pain strain.

Ooooooohhhh! That is how it makes me feel. Purps was my first experience with an Indica strain when I didn’t know what an Indica or sativa was. I would smoke this in my twenties when I had a fever and body aches. Yes, it helped, it was my cold and flu go to when I was miserable. I haven’t had it in years and today at 46 years old, I am 23 again. A pain relieving body high with sedated head sensation. This is a popular strain amongst cancer patients. It is #1 on my all time list.
