For those relatively new to medicating on cannabis, Star killer should be off-limits. The THC can be as high as 30%, even for seasoned users this can take them over the moon into space. The smell is what is described as diesel-like; a pungent smell that makes discretion impossibility. The flavor is strong, good for you if you enjoy the skunky taste on your palette. One you exhale you will appreciate some piney and spicy tones that make the smoke smooth. The taste of lemon may linger after the exhale.
The buds of this strain are a deep green and are coated with a rich of trichomes, speaking well for the potency that they convey. As the plants mature, the resinous glands take a dense milky-white color that makes the buds even more beautiful. Delicate and wispy pistils are the icing on the cake.

This also comes with the highest sense of euphoria that will take your mind off disturbing thoughts and any sense of sadness. In a short while, you will be laughing and enjoying every moment of your existence. For patients battling depression, this is probably a feeling that they have not experienced in a long while. Being a strong indica, expect to feel your body warm and get relaxed after a few puffs. Your muscle aches will melt away as the effects spread down your torso. Eventually, you will fall asleep since this strain has sedating effects.
