Effects & uses

Permafrost tends to come across as clear-headed and focused. People most often describe a happy, relaxed mood that stays lively enough for conversation. Users frequently mention feeling talkative and mildly euphoric rather than weighed down, which makes it a common pick for social time or daytime tasks that call for concentration. It is less often the choice for winding down toward sleep.

The aroma and flavor lean woody and earthy, with a clean note of pine. Lab tests show a fairly even terpene mix led by myrcene and caryophyllene, followed by alpha-pinene and limonene, with THC typically around 17%.
