Start with a couple of hits to see how it effects you – it is known to be a “heavy indica” strain.
Granddaddy Purple Weed Description
Created in 2003 by the aforementioned Ken Estes of California. Mr. Estes has become a legend for many reasons in the marijuana breeding world – including his devotion to maximizing medical benefits of weed. In fact, that’s how he got his start – after being in hospital and paralyzed from the neck down and finally taking a hit of weed out of desperation for his pain and condition. That was in 1976, and he hasn’t looked back. His first experience with self-medicating resulted in regaining his appetite and enjoying a full night sleep.
Ken’s doctors were skeptical but he continued to self-medicate with marijuana and managed to eliminate the drugs he was being prescribed.
Granddaddy Purple was created from this dedication and after some Native American friends gave Ken some of their locally grown cannabis.
