Purple Galore

Purple Galore is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain known for it’s deep purple buds and potent high. It’s a brand that is “shrouded in mystery and intrigue,” like its namesake character in James Bond. What makes Purple Galore stand out is its appearance; vibrant purple nugs that are covered is alluring orange pistils and trichomes with a sweet, fruit aroma. This one hits hard – initial feelings of euphoria and creativity dissipate as full-body relaxation takes over. In this article we’ll take a look at Purple Galore’s profile, taste, effects, and some ways to get the best out of this wonderful strain.

Strain Profile

The exact genetics of Purple Galore is not being released publicly – its parentage is a guarded mystery.

Unfortunately, little is known about it beyond the facts that it’s likely indica-dominant (lots of purples are) and it provides a balanced hybrid effect.

OG Kush is professionally cut, trimmed and cured by a team of certified growers, resulting in dense and compact buds that show high packed cannabinoid and terpene levels.

Official THC data for Purple Galore is not available, but given what we know about other similar strains, we believe it should be reasonable to assume a THC content likely going to rival high-THC strains, which may contain between 18% and 25% THC, possibly more, and have low amounts of CBD. These characteristics combine for a strong head-body high: Initially euphoric, the stone becomes mellow and relaxing.

Purple Galore spoils the palette with an intricate terpene profile. It has the sweet berry fragrance of the original combined with creamy fruit notes on the draw, and just a touch of spicy herbs on the finish. In reality, users liken it to a relatively hedonistic dessert:

Fragrance: A heady, sweet-fruit scent (like ripe berries or grape) with earthy, herbal undertones.

Flavor: You get sweet berry candy on the inhale and spicy herbal/earthy taste on the exhale which will linger afterward.

This blend of sugary berry and botanical tastes is also a hallmark of many purple strains, and thus makes Purple Galore particularly appealing to those who prefer their cannabis with a dessert-like flavor profile.

Effects and Ideal Uses

Purple Galore is a favorite of patients looking for effects that are nicely balanced and a little bit on the strong side. Users report that it provides an immediate euphoric lift, increasing mood, creativity, and cheer, as well as a light sense of erraticism, and then a heavy sense of sedation that drains tension from the body. It’s not generally categorize as couch-lock heavy, so you can use is afor all kinds of activities. In real use, Purple Galore is perfect for:

Creative / SocialAttractive: The happy head high is conducive to chatting, music and creativity.

Calming effects: A gentle body high that soothes away those aches and pains, stress can float away on an easy puff of sweet smoke that’s perfect for evening relaxation or lazy days.

Pain and anxiety: Again, similar to a lot of indica-dominant purps, it tends to create powerful euphoria and numbness that can be helpful for both pain and anxiety.

Purple Galore is an all-purpose medicinal strain: use it in the daytime for a creative kick, or take it at night to unwind entirely. Fans appreciate that it has the ability to “trigger productivity without inducing too much sleepiness” — although it does still lend itself to a chill evening in or a way to unwind on the couch.

Consumption Tips and Best Practices

When you take Purple Galore (especially if it’s your first time) here’s what to do:

“Low and slow:” Start slow and low with your dosage (only a puff or two of flower, or take your low-THC edibles), and wait a minimum of 10-15 minutes before consuming more. “We recommend ‘start low, go slow’ (e.g. ~2.5 mg THC) for a test of potency without overindulging.”

Be mindful of your method: Inhalation (smoking or vaping) provides effects in minutes, which means it’s easier to control your dose. Edibles and tinctures can take a half hour up to 2 hours to feel any relief, so be patient and don’t take more because you thought it wasn’t working.

Try a vaporizer: Inhaling Purple Galore can capture the delicate berry flavors and terpenes of this strain, and vaporizing is typically smoother on the throat than smoking. Many users say vaping this strain enhances its sweet scent and eliminates any irritation associated with smoke.

Go slow: Give yourself time between hits or scoops of doses and sip water if you start to feel overwhelmed. Effect of cannabinoids can get stronger over a few minutes, so give yourself time. (Pro tip: If you wait 5 to 10 minutes between puffs, you’ll get the full effect without taking more than you can handle.)

Storing: Please keep your Purple Galore buds in an airtight container in a cold and dry place such as the refrigerator, for maximum long term storage. It’s how you keep those purple hues and terpenes intact.

Listening through a quality pair of headphones also lets you get lost in the intricate psychedelic sounds but always be mindful of the serving size, work your way up from recommended serving size so that you can control the entire experience once you obtain a comfort level with micro-dosing toward the onset and peak.

Quality and Cultivation

The Purple Galore in legal markets is cultivated by licensed growers, who must follow rigid guidelines. In Washington, D.C. (and other regulated jurisdictions), dispensaries are required to only use tested cannabis. That’s because every batch of Purple Galore is tested for potency and examined for pesticides, mold and other contaminants, meaning it’s safe and consistent every time. Buyers can review lab results (COAs) to verify actual THC/CBD levels and terpene profiles. A number of boutique cultivators also pursue organic or low-pesticide husbandry and meticulous curing, which contribute to the strain’s “amazing cure” and resin-drenched, dense nugs, according to reviewers. In other words, you’re buying the best of the best: bags/pods that are visually (and olfactorily) premium, courtesy of tight manicured buds that are “mega frosty,” the result of careful cultivation and cure.

Why People Who Love the Herb, Love Purple Galore

Why Purple Galore has become a consumer favorite so quickly?

Balanced, Strong High: Reviewers can’t get enough of its balanced effects. As a user noted, Purple Galore adds “uplifting euphoria” and energy that matches with a “mildly-soothing body high”. This is the balance that makes it enjoyable and useful, mood enhancing without binding you to the couch.

Tasty Aroma and Flavor: The sweet scent of berries and cake-like taste are often mentioned. Consumers frequently report the strain’s delicious taste as lying somewhere between a sweet tropical fruit on the inhale and spicy and earthy on the exhale. It’s memorable and delicious; this rich flavor profile is reminiscent of a berry candy or a grape dessert.

Gorgeous Bud: Purple Galore’s bright purple buds that are decorated with orange hairs and icy white trichomes are stunning. A few (logical, right?) buyers say that’s because they are “covered in trichomes” and the buds are “dense.” A good looking flower is always eye-catching and severing up looks is Purple Galore.

Good Reviews: The feedback for Purple Galore is great. One satisfied customer who bought a nearly identical product also raved about the “amazing cure” and awesome “Great bag appeal (purple galore) [with] trichomes covering buds”. Reviews like that are a testament to the potency and quality of its flavor as well as its premium overall feel.

Trusted Quality: Customers also enjoy the consistency, safety, and trust in quality, since it’s sold in regulated dispensaries. It feels safer, knowing that the quality of each batch is lab-tested and that you’re actually getting what they’re advertising as far as THC content and a clean product.

Combined, these traits are the reason why Purple Galore has received the seal of approval from both recreational smokers and medical patients. Fans return for its bold and bright visuals, deep flavor, and consistently potent effects.
