Mendocino Purps, or Mendo Purps, is an Indica strain that won High Times Cannabis Cups in 2007 and 2009. Inexperienced users, or those with a lower tolerance, should be aware of this strain's ability to induce powerful drowsiness and laziness. It is recommended that users keep food close at hand as the "couch-lock" effect may be stronger than the 'munchies' effect. Some might also find that this strain may cause 'the giggles.' Negative effects include dry mouth and eyes, dizziness, headaches, and some paranoia when high doses are consumed.
