·🍇 Indica

Blue Moonshine is a cherished indica from DJ Short, the legendary breeder behind the original Blueberry. A direct descendant refined for indoor cultivation, it delivers the same luscious blueberry aroma and flavor that made Blueberry iconic, paired with a deeply relaxing, sedating body high. Blue Moonshine is the ideal nighttime companion — sweet, calming, and powerfully soporific, wrapped in beautiful blue-tinted buds.

"Real pain relief, no joke"

I have fibromyalgia and the full-body relaxation from this is something I haven't found elsewhere. Doesn't eliminate pain but brings it to a manageable level.
