Bootlegger

Bootlegger, also known as ‘Moonshine’s Ghost Train’, is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain that is a cross between Moonshine Haze and Nevil’s Wreck. Some enthusiasts argue that it is a cross between Ghost OG and Nevil’s Wreck. Bootlegger is known for its high THC content, averaging around 20%, but can sometimes reach up to 25%. The strain is composed of 60% sativa and 40% indica.

Bootlegger is renowned for its uplifting and energizing effects, making it a popular choice for those seeking a creative boost or a daytime pick-me-up. However, due to its high THC content, beginners should approach this strain with caution as it can induce intense psychoactive effects. Bootlegger’s high THC content may also make it beneficial for those dealing with chronic pain, fatigue, and stress. The strain is said to have a complex flavor profile, featuring notes of sweet citrus, earthy pine, and a hint of diesel.

Anxiety, Panic Disorders

Cannabis, specifically CBD (cannabidiol), has been shown to help with anxiety and panic disorders by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system. This system is involved in regulating a variety of functions including sleep, appetite, pain and immune system response. CBD may help to reduce stress and anxiety by enhancing the endocannabinoid signaling, which can help to regulate mood and fear. It can also interact with serotonin receptors in the brain, which play a key role in anxiety disorders. Some studies have shown that CBD can reduce symptoms in people with various anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and risks.
