One of the most popular strains in the weed industry today is Granddaddy Purple. This cultivar goes by different names, such as “Granddaddy Purp,” “Granddaddy Purps,” “GDP,” and “Granddaddy Purple Kush.” GDP is an Indica strain with 17% THC and is typically high in caryophyllene, alpha-pinene, and humulene. It has distinct flavors in grape, berry, and spicy/herbal hints. The leading effect that GDP has on the body is relaxation, cerebral euphoria, and sleepiness. This strain may be a top pick for an equally mind and body high before bedtime.
GDP was popularized in 2003 by Ken Estes, and it is now a famous Indica cross of Mendo Purps, Skunk, and Afghanistan. The strain obtains a berry and grape aroma from its Mendo Purps and Afghanistan parent, while the Skunk gives it an oversized, compact bud structure. Granddaddy Purple flowers bloom in shades of deep purple, blue, green, and orange while having white crystal resin on the buds as well.

The Strain’s Effect On The Mind and Body
The effects that one may feel while smoking Granddaddy Purple are an overall dreamy buzz, full body and mind relaxation, euphoria, and sleepiness. Your body will likely be fixated in one spot while high off this strain. This is because your body goes into a deep relaxation, while your mind may wander off. GDP is usually picked by budtenders for those looking to combat pain, stress, insomnia, appetite loss, and muscle spasms.
