Recreational Effects

With a name like this, especially one that comes from none other than Snoop Dog, Green Crack certainly captures the imagination, and the good news is, it only lives up to the positive side of crack, so to speak. Once they try Green Crack, many rookies and veteran users alike can’t go back. We’re not talking about addiction of any kind, but merely of pure adoration.

Interestingly enough, Green Crack first makes its presence known in the body in the form of a nice energy kick before it makes its way to the upper floor. It’s like a balanced cocktail of coffee, protein shake, and classic sativa-like mental buzz, making it the ultimate wake and bake strain. With that being said, it also works perfectly as a post-work pick-me-up to help you make the most of your after-hours. Just make sure you DON’T consume it before bed, or the “crack” in its title will come out.

Once Green Crack reaches the head, cerebral invigoration ensues, like a renovation of your headspace, turning it into a place of euphoria, divergent thoughts and creative ideas, and introspection that leads to ambition, confidence, and positive thoughts about yourself and the world at large. What makes this strain so versatile is that while strong and riveting, the cerebral high is also clear-headed and adaptive to the surroundings, so whether you’re at a social gathering, brainstorming session, regular work, or home alone with some free time on your hands that you want to spend productively and rewardingly, Green Crack will fit right in and make it all better.

It has also been frequently reported to warp time, which is always fun.

The comedown is gentle and gradual, easing into nice relaxation that’s perfect for watching films and/or playing video games.

Medicinal Benefits

While Green Crack isn’t exactly known as a medicinal strain, many patients find it more than useful in a number of ways, including indirect ones.

Green Crack’s most obvious medicinal application is stress and anxiety relief and spirit elevation, with many people with mental disorders swearing by its therapeutic power. In fact, while this strain may not do much in terms of body high and respectively pain relief, patients often find that by engrossing them in its wondrous dimensions, Green Crack takes their mind away from their physical pain and this alleviates it, be it indirectly. In that sense, perhaps combining this strain with a body-numbing indica or traditional medication could hit the sweet spot, as long as your doctor approves the cross-medication mixology, of course.

In a similar vein, Green Crack’s physically energizing properties are great for patients who may experience fatigue as a side effect of their medications and need a nice boost to shake it off and enjoy their day.
