About the strain
Granddaddy Purple, in depth.
GDP is what most people think of when they picture indica: heavy, sedating, mood-lifting, and ideal for sleep. The myrcene-dominant terpene profile is responsible for the relaxing, slightly drowsy effect — myrcene is the same terpene that gives ripe mangoes their relaxing reputation.
Use GDP in the evening, ideally after dinner. Most consumers report sleep onset within 60-90 minutes of smoking flower or 30-45 minutes of vaping. Available in NY in flower, vape pen and edible formats — gummies featuring Granddaddy Purple terpenes are particularly popular for sleep.
