A longtime favorite, grapefruit is a potent combination of a sativa bred especially for its grapefruit flavor and the hybrid Cinderella 99. This strain, which has a 70:30 sativa/indica ratio, is distinctly cerebral, delivering a significant mood lift and powerful pleasure. With THC levels recorded at 20%, this strain is quite potent. Conversely, CBD levels are extremely low, disqualifying it as a successful epileptic treatment. However, it works well for pain, GI distress, PMS, and melancholy and anxiety. Although there are traces of other citrus fruits, grapefruit's sweet flavor and aroma predominate.
Red eyes and dry lips are possible side effects, but they are typically rather minor. Paranoia and dizziness are less common. Grapefruit is widely available nationwide and is primarily marketed for its distinct flavor and scent. Although it is available on the black market and in other legal marketplaces, Colorado and the West Coast are where it is most widely used. Patients seeking physical effects will find this strain less enticing than smokers wanting a potent head high.
