Purple Punch: For the Unwind

What you may expect when you try Purple Punch

You may feel:

Euphoric

Sedated

Relaxed

Take a comfortable seat while allowing this well-loved, legacy strain to carry you into peaceful, relaxing bliss. Sweet caramelized berry scents and that delicious, earthy, kush-y smell waft from fluffy, trichome-heavy buds.

This strain is notorious among OGs for its literally-legendary genetics for good reason. Folks report Purple Punch living up to its knockout namesake. So, this cultivar is likely best consumed toward the end of your day. Complement this sesh with plenty of snacks and your most comfortable loungewear.

What’s most surprising about rolling up some Purple Punch is that you can feel and enjoy the experience fully, without even knowing its typical lower THC percentage compared to shelf-mates. Purple Punch could be a bespoke choice for your pre-dinner blunt if you’re a daily consumer.

Regardless of the setting, if you like to consume weed to zone out and destress without losing the ability to speak, Purple Punch is a primo pick for both new-coming and chronic palettes.

Can you smoke Purple Punch during the day?

Short answer: yes, but it depends. It’s important to understand how and when you prefer to consume any cannabis strain for the best experience. Since this strain promises to bring the “punch” to any upcoming session, it may not be the best daytime toke for everyone.

Purple Punch essentials: what you need to know before you try

Which strains made Purple Punch?

This Indica-dominant cannabis cultivar (AKA strain) has a legendary reputation among OGs from sea to sea. Rightfully so, Purple Punch is a cross of West Coast indica icons Granddaddy Purple and Larry OG. Both strains have hearty, easy-to-grow natures and high bud yields, as well as a reported mellow uppercut.

Is Purple Punch very potent?

Generally, Purple Punch has a lower THC percentage than many other popular cultivars, which have been bred to test at higher amounts. While THC content varies per harvest, you can expect an average THC content of around 18%. Depending on who you ask, that’s still very potent, especially in the absence of other cannabinoids like CBD that can take the edge off THC. Even though the THC is lower than you may expect, it’s still not your mom and dad’s pot from college.

In any case, try to practice intentionality when consuming your cannabis. THC percentage will only tell a fraction of the tale you’ll experience with any strain.

Which terpenes are in Purple Punch?

This strain is heavy on caryophyllene, along with limonene and pinene in tow. Flavor notes are said to be sweet, with a harmonious aroma expressing hints of grape, berries, sugar, and punchy herbaceousness. Consider capturing the full flavor profile for yourself in some squeaky clean glass.

Purple Punch shopping tips

Shopping for cannabis in NYC doesn’t have to be complicated. Keep the following information in mind when choosing where to get your weed in the 5 boroughs:

Confirm the dispensary is licensed: Verify that your dispensary is operating above board with a license from the New York State’s Office of Cannabis Management. You can check records online, or look for this special seal displayed at the storefront if you’re shopping in person. Ensuring you’re shopping with a licensed operator is a great way to make sure you’re supporting New Yorkers.

Look for lab tests: There should be a QR code on your product linked up to traceable lab test results. You can see Jaunty’s test results for their Purple Punch Cartridge and more on their website. Still searching? Ask your budtender for testing information about your product choice and they’ll help you find it.

Have your ID handy: When shopping, make sure your ID is checked by dispensary staff. This may seem like a minor detail in your experience, but this is one important way that legal dispensaries keep communities safe.

Say no to unlicensed products: Make sure your cannabis goods have New York’s product seal on them, along with verifying their lab test.
