Often described as uplifting, it's a great option for your mornings.
Sour Special Sauce – Our Most Relaxing CBD Variety
Sour Special Sauce deserves special attention for its remarkably calming effects. While many CBD varieties are described as uplifting or suitable for daytime use, Sour Special Sauce is widely regarded as one of our most sedative, indica-like CBD varieties.
