Where Purple Swish Comes From

Purple Swish Effects: What It Feels Like
The high is described as deep relaxation with a giggly, euphoric lift. Allbud says it starts mild and builds to a lifted, clear-headed peak before settling into a heavier, slightly sedating body effect.
Reviewers also mention feeling talkative, energetic or hungry early on. One reviewer found it better for evenings than workdays.
Purple Swish Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
