Cannabis connoisseurs at Nirvana Seeds are the original breeders of this cultivar, which blends the genetics of Citral #13 and Ice #2. A reportedly mentally soothing option for medical consumers who want to please their palate, this tropical citrus strain smells similar to the actual fruit but with a hint of sweet spiciness. Crumble the fluffy nugs between the fingers and scatter a delicious dusting of trichomes over your morning or evening joint. The cannabinoids and terpenes contained in the Papaya weed strain are thought to be beneficial for patients seeking relief from anxiety, stress, and pain.
