Purple Wreck AAA+ Popcorn

Purple Wreck strain is an indica-dominant hybrid with the power to impress even experienced cannabis consumers. A cross between the very popular sativa Trainwreck and Purple Urkle, Purple Wreck was created by prolific breeders DNA Genetics, the producers of Chocolope and LA Confidential. With a strong, relaxing body high and a bold flavour to boot, Purple Wreck is a great choice for end-of-day use.

Purple Wreck strain sets itself apart with large, well-formed cannabis flowers. Their structure appears to a hybrid of indica and sativa influences — although compact and dense on the interior, the leaves spiral outward at the exterior with a fluffy texture. These leaves themselves are the strain’s real showstopper, wowing consumers with a mottled mix of olive green, lavender, and violet. These purple hues come about when anthocyanin pigments in the strain’s genetics are activated by colder than average weather. Finally, sticky white trichomes cover all surfaces of these large nuggets, makes them appear dewy and icy.

When properly cured, Purple Wreck gives off a sweet, vegetal odour, somewhat like hay. Lurking underneath these top notes are some notes of grape and berry. Grinding up these solid flowers yields a rich, diesel-like scent. When it is burnt, Purple Wreck gives off a smooth and pleasant smoke that tastes like berry on the exhale with some hints of sap. Notably, any discernible grape odours or flavours are incidental to the strain’s purple hues; while its colour is determined by pigments, its aroma is dictated by different compounds called terpenes.

Purple Wreck’s versatile properties can also have applications for medical cannabis patients. The strain’s sense of positivity and lightness can provide temporary relief from the symptom of:

• stress
• depression,
• anxiety
• disease-related pain
• headaches
• nausea.

In high enough doses (and sufficiently comfortable conditions), Purple Wreck can even lull insomniacs to sleep. Because it is unlikely to trigger episodes of obsessive, recursive thinking, this strain is a good option for those who are prone to panic or paranoia.

Purple Wreck’s well-balanced relaxation is an excellent way to enjoy some much-needed solo time. The strain can also be fun at parties, though, where its colourful flowers can make a good conversation starter.
