Dr. Grinspoon is a pure heirloom sativa named after a famous cannabis activist, Dr. Lester Grinspoon, Associate Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at Harvard.
In the late 1960s, Dr. Grinspoon wanted to prove that cannabis was a harmful recreational drug. However, when he delved into his research on the subject, he changed his mind. There wasn't enough evidence to support the idea that cannabis was dangerous. So Grinspoon became an activist. Since then, he has produced numerous scientific papers and has spoken out publicly in favor of cannabis on many occasions.
The Dr. Grinspoon cannabis strain is therefore a tribute to this cannabis celebrity. Cerebral and lucid, this sativa is known for enhancing concentration and stimulating the senses. Created by Barney's Seeds from a pure heirloom strain, Dr. Grinspoon gives consumers the taste of an untouched variety.
This variety produces few bodily effects, but can be as invigorating as a strong cup of coffee. Patients with attention deficit disorder, stress, chronic fatigue or depression will appreciate the cerebral qualities of this variety.
Dr. Grinspoon can be consumed during the day without disrupting social activities, and can accompany evenings that are a little hectic.
Grinspoon is perhaps best reserved for experimental growers. It takes a long time to flower and can be a little tricky to grow in colder climates.
It has tropical aromas with hints of lemon and spices.
