Effects & uses
People most often describe Dark Star as relaxing and happy, with a euphoric lift that tends to settle into sleepiness. The overall character leans calm and heavy rather than clear, and users tend to reach for it in the evening to unwind, to help with sleep, or for appetite. It is less often chosen for creative work, where its drowsy pull can get in the way.
The aroma and flavor are described as earthy. Lab results show myrcene and caryophyllene as the leading terpenes, followed by limonene and a smaller amount of linalool. THC typically lands around 20%.
