Grape Ape Strain Overview
The Grape Ape strain, which also goes by the name “Purple Ape”, is a pungent blend of Afghani, Mendocino Purps, and Skunk #1. Considering its robust genetics, it’s unsurprising that this pure Indica crossbreed strongly sedates and possesses the power to engulf your entire body into a couch-locking state of bliss. Despite its slow-mounting “high”, Grape Ape instantly tickles the nose hairs with its fruity terpenoid profile – a mishmash of soothing myrcene, euphoric pinene, and anti-inflammatory caryophyllene.
Grape Ape’s tantalizing scent will lure you into a taste bud tour. Fruity with a subtle taste of earthiness, this genetic genius is sweet yet savory at the same time. The THC-heavy strain looks as good as it tastes, with a shimmering coat of dusty trichomes and crinkled leaves adjoining tightly-packed nugs resembling green blackberries. Expect full-body muscle relaxation, pain relief, and a cerebral massage. Your bed or sofa may appear more enticing post-consumption, hence why Grape Ape is most popular among nighttime users.

Grape Ape Strain Effects & Common Usage
Intense THC levels that typically rarely fluctuate below 16% or above 20% may prove effective for some users in easing nausea and vomiting, while also showing promise at reducing pain, lowering blood pressure, and massaging the muscles. Combined with CBG, you’ve got a strain that may help regulate appetite and deliver antioxidant effects; as per studies.
Happiness. Many users report the mood-enhancing properties of THC and caryophyllene can shift your mood downside-up.
Muscle relaxing. CBG’s reported muscle relaxant and analgesic properties intermingle to offer relief from muscle/joint pain according to user reviews.
Analgesic. Not only does myrcene bolster the effects of THC but according to studies, it plays an integral role in minimizing pain sensation, as does CBG and THC itself.
Anxiety and stress relief. The intertwining of THC, myrcene, and pinene’s effects may allow some users to achieve a calmer mental state in small, controlled doses.
Sleep aid. A hefty hit of THC transports many users into a dream state with ease. The presence of pinene may also lengthen the duration of non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS).
Pain reduction. By reportedly curbing pain signaling between the body and brain, CBG, THC, and myrcene are a truly therapeutic trio for many consumers.
Grape Ape Strain Dosage Recommendations
With its heavy THC and myrcene content, newbies may want to steer clear of Grape Ape until they build a tolerance. Nighttime tokers will drift off nicely after some small, well-spaced doses.
The right dosage can vary greatly from one user to the next. If you have questions about finding the right dosage or product type for your needs, consider consulting with a medical cannabis doctor, or you can request a consultation with NuggMD’s Cannabis Concierge.
