Possible side effects may include dry mouth, dry eyes, dizziness, or occasional paranoia at higher amounts.

Flavor & Aroma
This strain is known for a pungent, earthy nose with pronounced pine and skunk notes. Myrcene and caryophyllene often lead the profile, bringing herbal, spicy tones, while limonene can add a light citrus lift. On the inhale, expect dense earth and pine; on the exhale, many report a peppery spice with a hint of lemon zest.
