This is probably the first smoke report I've done, but the results from Candida have been too positive to ignore.
Alright, here goes nothing...
A little run-down on the genetics:
"Candida is the flagship strain of
Medical Marijuana Genetics, a feminized strain with
very high CBD content and thus ideal for treating a large number of medical conditions, including
ADHD, anorexia, autism, depression, epilepsy and many others.
This strain was created in tribute to the mpther - already deceased - of the founder of this seed company, and the name means "bright light" in Latin. A ray of light for patients suffering from
pains and chronic diseases, as well as muscle injuries.
This awesome
Indica/Sativa hybrid was created by crossing two high CBD strains,
ACDC and
Harlequin. The offspring of this cross has very low THC content so it doesn't get you high, meaning this plant can be used throughout the day without a problem, you'll be able to perform your daily activities while you're treating your condition.
Candida, High CBD cannabis strain
Candida can contain from
10 to 20% CBD, while THC content is never above 1%. As usually happens, CBD content depends on phenotypes.
I originally grew this strain, solely to use in edibles for my wife. She takes a dose of CBD every night to sleep.
After harvesting, I decided to experiment a bit with smoking it. I was honestly just hoping for a bit of relief from my anxiety. I was actually so impressed with the results; I smoke it daily now. During a full anxiety attack yesterday, I smoked half a joint of Candida and within minutes, my physical symptoms from the anxiety disappeared completely. Literally, I was nauseous, light headed, and having chest pains before smoking... I was comfortably relaxing, after smoking, in no-time.
So... I'm looking to expand on my possible uses for this now. I'm going to try incorporating it now to help me quit smoking cigarettes. I think a few puffs on a doobie, everytime I want a smoke, might just be soothing enough to get through it.
We shall see...
On to the smoke...
I've noticed this strain is more "gooey" than other strains I've grown. It has the classic sativa bud structure, fluffier & kinda stringy. I expected it to dry up into crispy larf... it did not. It is just some good sticky-icky.
The smell in the jar is best described as "indistinguishable sweet smell", it has a hint of citrus. She's definitely loud though. When I burp those jars, the entire house will smell like a fruity-ass skunk.
Candida is definitely an effective muscle relaxer and treatment for anxiety, IMHO. LoL
Rolls over you like a nice warm blanket.
Hopefully I did this strain justice with the smoke report and really hope this was helpful for someone else suffering with anxiety.
Stay medicated y'all!
