Jolly Rancher offers a slow, creeping high that may take as many as 10 or 15 minutes before revealing its mind-warping effects. The strain’s sativa side emerges first, boosting analytical thinking; some users may feel as if they’re able to step back and observe the progression of their own thoughts. Such free association makes Jolly Rancher a great way to power through both analytical and creative work. Similarly, this bud can clear the cobwebs out of a stuck or a troubled mind. Smokers typically find that they’re able to function as they ordinarily would, free to converse and to engage in physical activity if so desired. Be warned, though, that Jolly Rancher’s indica effects reveal themselves as the high progresses. These qualities manifest as a slow, sinking feeling of relaxation that may inspired previously active smokers to lounge in the closest comfortable surroundings. This sedation is unlikely to lead to couch lock, but it’s a peaceful way to unwind with a soothing movie or with some trippy, atmospheric music.

Alternatively, Jolly Rancher’ relaxed and open-minded vibes can facilitate camaraderie and free-flowing conversation when shared with like-minded friends. Best consumed during the daytime through late afternoon, Jolly Rancher is an excellent wake-and-bake treat.

Despite its playful name, Jolly Rancher can also be of value to medical cannabis patients. The bud’s lucid, clear-eyed concentration can be a boon to those with attention deficit disorders. Mood-elevating effects may also temporarily improve the symptoms of stress and depression. Meanwhile, Jolly Rancher’s physically numbing properties can alleviate all kinds of aches and pains, whether temporary or chronic. Patients who are prone to panic and anxiety or who have a low tolerance for THC should consume Jolly Rancher with caution, as its cerebral effects may prove overwhelming for some.
