Black Velvet is an even blend of indica and sativa (sativa/indica ratio of 50:50), and that genetic balance shows. A cross between Purple Kush and Afgani lanrace, the high is equal parts physical and mental, with a pleasant, lazy body buzz and sleepiness countered by cerebral effects that include euphoria and a peppy mood boost. This strain is an effective tool in treating low mood, anxiety, nausea, chronic pain, insomnia, and stress.
