Cannabis is no different in falling prey to fads and what is 'trendy'. In the past, we have seen crazes over a variety of strains: from OG Kush, to Haze, to just about anything with the color purple. Most of the time it's simply the appearance of something new to the cannabis scene: an effect that is more pronounced, a smell or taste that has never before been explored, or a look that seems to not belong on cannabis at all. It seems obvious then, when someone decided to breed not only OG Kush and Granddaddy Purple but Durban Poison as well, the result would be a bud almost universally loved: Girl Scout Cookies or G.S.C.

...cannabis doesn't just have variations in effect, but also in a wide range of smells and tastes. The sample I have been provided for this review is one of the most unique smells I have found in the cannabis world, even though it is the very embodiment of its namesake: Maple.

The depth and complexity of something should not be simplified to its outside appearance. In the world of cannabis, however, the looks of a strain will give you invaluable insight into what its potential effects may be. This week’s review is particularly eye catching with its deep purple countenance: Granddaddy Purple.
