The result is an indica-dominant hybrid. The standard Grease Monkey cut delivers an extremely potent, hard-hitting experience with fluffy, oversized grape-shaped forest green nugs, super thin orange hairs, and chunky white trichomes.

The onset (first 5 to 15 minutes): Grease Monkey is known as a “creeper” strain. The effects build slowly behind your eyes and spread through your head. A hazy, dreamy relaxation settles in.

The peak (30 to 60 minutes in): The body effects take over hard. A warm, heavy blanket settles over your shoulders, back, and legs. Your muscles feel completely loose. Your eyes feel heavy. Moving feels like effort. This is deep couch lock territory. One reviewer described it as “being tightly wrapped in a big blanket”. Another said “one of the only fully enjoyable couch locks I have ever experienced”.

The comedown (2 to 4 hours in): Fatigue sets in heavily. Most users fall asleep during the comedown. If you make it through, you will feel deeply relaxed and very hungry.
