It’s a creeper – meaning its effects creep up slowly over a little bit of time – that will definitely give you “the munchies”. It happily melts away stress, depression and works well for minor pain.
• Manitoba Poison – This strain is a 50/50 to slightly indica-dominant hybrid. It’s an ideal strain if you or your body needs to relax and improve your mood at the same time. If you’re too high strung before bed, this may lend a hand to you falling asleep. It’s also good for pain and stress
• Alaskan Ice – This strain is a Haze and White Widow love child. It has moderate levels of CBD and is similar to Moby Dick. It’s a heavy hitter that may leave your head in the clouds for a bit, so evening use is suggested. Those with depression, stress and significant pain may benefit from this strain.
