Purple Rain

Purple Rain is flower labelled premium and sativa, sized from 1 g to 28 g. AllBud puts the strain it is named for at an even hybrid split, 50% sativa and 50% indica.

Small purple buds that resemble moss

AllBud describes small, chunky buds covered in plenty of hairs, deep purple in colour and resembling purple moss. One AllBud reviewer describes chunky, dense buds that are easy to break up by hand. Another describes dark green and purple buds with amber crystals.

A large jar of berries

AllBud compares the smell to a large jar of berries. Its aroma tag is grape and its flavour tag is berry. One reviewer picks out berry, plum and pungent dank notes, and another an earthy, dank smell.

A mild buzz, and a 19% THC figure

AllBud’s write-up gives THC as 19%, and its effect tags are body high and relaxing. It says the buzz is mild and fades after about an hour. One reviewer mentions big munchies, a hunger that our munchies guide looks into. AllBud rates the strain 4.5 from 19 votes and 13 reviews.

Health Canada’s guidance on lowering risks gives smokers and vapers a short answer for a first try: 1 or 2 puffs, from something at 10% THC or less. AllBud’s 19% is well past that.
