Flavor and Effects of Pennywise
The Pennywise cannabis strain has a primarily dank aromatic profile with notes of fresh earth. You will also smell hints of woody and piney undertones. Once combusted, the Pennywise strain gives out an interesting mix of bubble gum, coffee, and citrus. A harsh and thick smoke with woody undertone is tasted in the exhale.
The effects of this strain are quick-acting. It starts with a cerebral euphoria that is psychedelic in nature. Certain sights and sounds will be taken into a whole different level, and you will feel a little bit disoriented. However, this is only temporary as you will soon feel your creativity and productivity increase too. Any complicated and detail-oriented tasks will be a breeze. You will find yourself more sociable and chatty, too. Soon after, you will feel waves of relaxation trickle down to your body, and at this point, you will feel your energy level dip. Whatever motivation and energy you had earlier will start to wane. If used in high doses, you will find yourself couch-locked, so always be careful.

Growing Pennywise

Regular topping is required to manage its light-blocking fan leaves.
