Purple Panty Dropper - Ashville Dispensary Review



     Purple Panty Dropper


    During a recent stop at Asheville Dispensary, I picked up a gram of Purple Panty Dropper (PPD) for around $14. This strain is a heavy-hitting indica, originally bred from Matanuskan Mist, Purple Haze, and Oregon Grape. It's known for its relaxing effects and a terpene profile led by limonene, with strong support from myrcene and caryophyllene—a mix that typically brings uplifting mental effects paired with deep body relaxation.

Out of the jar, PPD has a mild gassy aroma, but nothing too overpowering. Where it really stands out is in the flavor department—the taste comes through much stronger and richer once it’s smoked, offering a deeper experience than the nose might suggest.

Let’s get into the visuals, the flavor, and how it smokes.




    Effects/Terpenes
    
    Purple Panty Dropper (PPD) leans heavily on a limonene-dominant terpene profile, supported by myrcene and caryophyllene. This combination delivers a balanced effect that’s both mentally uplifting and physically relaxing. Limonene is often associated with mood elevation and stress relief, while myrcene may help with muscle relaxation and sedation, and caryophyllene has potential anti-inflammatory properties. Together, they create an experience that’s calming without knocking you out—making this a solid choice for late evening relaxation or winding down without full sedation.

    The effects came on smoothly and settled in behind the eyes and across the body, offering a warm, mellow high that lasted for a 2-3 hours without getting too heavy or foggy. It’s a nice strain for movie nights, low-key social hangs, or easing minor physical tension.

    Flavor/Smell

     A quick sniff of PPD reveals a mild gassy aroma—nothing too overpowering or distinct out of the jar. However, once lit, the flavor really opens up. The taste is noticeably stronger than the smell, with a deep, almost earthy-gas profile, rounded out by spicy and citrus notes that likely stem from the limonene and caryophyllene combo. It’s smooth on the inhale, and lingers a bit on the exhale, delivering a fuller experience than you might expect from the scent alone.

    Bag Appeal/Price

     Visually, PPD delivers. The buds are dense, sticky, and frosty, with subtle purple hues hiding beneath bright orange hairs and vibrant green. Trichome coverage is thick and well developed, and the structure looks hand-trimmed and well-cured. It's clearly a premium product that was produced with purpose and quality.

That said, at $14 per gram, this cut falls on the more expensive side, especially when compared to other high-performing strains in the Chattanooga market. Still, if you're looking to treat yourself with something a bit higher-end, the quality is there to justify the occasional splurge.


    Numeric Review

    Cosmetic: 9.5  - This cut of PPD is visually impressive—frosty, sticky, and clearly handled with care. The buds show signs of professional hand-trimming, with dense structure and visible trichomes throughout. The subtle purples beneath vibrant orange hairs add to its premium appearance.

    Flavor/Smell: 8.4 - While the jar aroma was underwhelming, especially at this price point, the flavor on the smoke made up for it. The taste delivers a much fuller, richer experience with earthy gas and light citrus spice that wasn’t apparent on the nose.

    Effects: 9.0 - The indica-leaning effects hit smoothly and reliably, offering mood elevation without mental fog and a relaxing body high. The limonene, myrcene, and caryophyllene combo gives it some added medicinal potential—ideal for winding down without being completely couch-locked.

Overall Average: 8.95/10

Farm To Med Review: "Blueberries"

Image
    Blueberries! Imagine breaking open a beautiful round nug while being met with a medley of subtle fruit smells and light gassy notes. This offering from Farm To Med is a bag appeal monster with noticeably well developed trichomes! Its large nug structure and varying shades of green with orange hairs made Blueberries a must try for me. It's a huge added bonus that this flower is not shipped in but is instead grown fresh here in Tennessee! This strain advertises as a hybrid 50/50 yet I personally feel that it leans more towards the indica side.      My first impression of this strain was how well developed the trichomes are, even with the naked eye you can see hundreds of fully bulbed trich's covering the nugs from tip to stem. I also noticed in my review that the smell on this strain is very unique, offering a fruity/sweet scent that is distinctive to a handful of fruity strains I have tested, something to try for sure. This cut of blueberries was a dry brittl...

Snapdragon Review - Dark Matter

Image
       Dark Matter      This strain is quickly rocketing to the top of my favorites list. Dark Matter , from Snapdragon Hemp , is a unique cross between Cherry Thunderfuck and Rusty Haze —two distinct genetics that come together beautifully in this cut.      A hybrid that leans indica, Dark Matter owes much of its relaxing effect to a heavy dose of myrcene —a terpene often linked to that classic “couch-lock” sensation.      Crack open the jar, stir a bit, and you're greeted with an out-of-this-world nose: sharp, gassy cherries that hit you right away. It’s a wild and wonderful terpene combo that sets the tone before you even reach for your torch.     Myrcene!           What really sets Dark Matter apart is its terpene profile—especially its high myrcene content . Myrcene is one of the most common terpenes found in cannabis and is known for its musky, earthy aroma and deeply...

SnapDragon Review - Rainbow Runtz

Image
      Rainbow Runtz                Rainbow Runtz is a hybrid strain that brings together two heavy hitters: Dosi Dos and Zkittlez . Picked up from Snapdragon Hemp , this resin immediately stands out with its golden, slightly crumbly texture that’s easy to work with and very appealing.      Terpene-wise, this strain leans into a calming profile rich in myrcene , limonene , and caryophyllene —a trio known for their relaxing, mood-lifting, and slightly spicy effects. The nose and flavor both lean closer to the Dosi Dos side of its lineage, with an  earthy aroma and a doughy taste  that lingers on the exhale.      Terps & Texture    With a mix of  myrcene , limonene , and a touch of caryophyllene , this blend brings on a deeply relaxing and mellow experience. The myrcene comes through loudest for me—ushering in that classic body calm, almost like a weighted blanket o...
