Uses
Forbidden Fruit can be potentially beneficial in various conditions, relating to both the body and the mind. The high content of soothing, relaxing myrcene can temporarily relieve the symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. By releasing tension, the strain can also help with muscle spasms and facilitate a peaceful night of sleep for those struggling with insomnia.
It may also serve as a potent painkiller, thanks to caryophyllene. It can be successfully utilised to provide short-term relief in chronic pain and migraines.
Side effects
This flower is usually well tolerated, and its side effects are mostly limited to the infamous cottonmouth and dry eyes. This strain may occasionally trigger episodes of paranoia and anxiety for sensitive individuals, particularly those susceptible to mental health conditions. Therefore, ensure that you practise responsible consumption, starting with a single puff and gradually increasing the dose if necessary.

Origins
Coming from the aromatic Cherry Pie and the tranquillity-inducing Tangie, Forbidden Fruit celebrates a majestic lineage. Much like the mythical fruit from which it takes its name, it evokes temptation with its distinct and mouthwatering citrus essence, intertwined with an undercurrent of ripe, juicy cherry sweetness. It hails from the sunny shores of California, having been created in Santa Clara by Chameleon Extracts.
Growing conditions
Forbidden Fruit showcases resilience and adaptability, displaying a noteworthy resistance to pests, diseases, mould and mildew. It is fairly low-maintenance, making it suitable even for novice cultivators.
It can flourish indoors and outdoors but needs plenty of sun and moderate humidity. It thrives best in temperatures around 20-26°C, meaning you can successfully grow it outdoors during Thai winter.
Within ten weeks, you can expect your plants to reach a medium height of up to 1 metre, yielding between 400-600 grams per square metre indoors and around 500 grams per plant outdoors.
