Potential Positive Effects of Alien Dawg
Alien Dawg’s high starts cerebral. A fuzzy feeling is felt so make sure you don’t have anything important planned. Once your head feels light, the effects of the strain begins to radiate through your body allowing it to become a little heavy, but not too much. You will feel euphoric, uplifted, and sedated. It does have some sativa characteristics like the want to be creative, but it will not dominate the lack of focus the indica provides.
You first notice a heavy feeling that starts around your temple and slowly spreads across the rest of your body. Your limbs take on a weighted feeling that makes movement feel much more difficult. It is during this early stage of the high that you are going to want to curl up on the sofa, maybe with a movie or some music.
An increased appetite is a very common effect, even when smoking Alien Dawg in small doses. It is always a good idea to have a few of your favorite snacks on hand so that you don’t have to wander too far.
As the effects of Alien Dawg start to become noticeable, you will feel incredibly tired and find yourself drifting towards the bed and falling asleep with ease. A combination of Alien Dawg’s sedative effects and the way in which the high comes to an end make Alien Dawg very much a strain to enjoy during the evening.
While you can use Alien Dawg in social situations, it really comes into its own during a lazy evening at home either with a close friend or on your own. When smoking in larger groups, the effects of Alien Dawg can feel a little overwhelming, leaving you feeling spacey and unable to really engage with those around you.
To really enjoy Alien Dawg, grab some of your favorite snacks, a few movies, and a close friend, and simply sit back and relax.
