Its name comes from its distinct grape-like aroma, and it is renowned for its calming effects which can help to reduce pain, stress and anxiety. The buds of the Grape Ape plant are large and dense with deep purple hues, covered in orange hairs and sticky resin. Its effects are known to be strong but balanced with a mellow body high; it can also induce feelings of euphoria or creative energy.
