What Consumers are Saying:

Sunset Sherbet gives a sativa like high that is both uplifting and energizing. The high is however moderate and most patients are able to contain and blossom with the effects which include increased focus, creativity and inspiration. The body high is also very relaxing but will not cause a couch-lock effect. This works well to de-stress the body and promote a general goodness feeling. A calmness that starts in the mind and transcends slowly to the limbs without being overbearing is the epitome of Sunset Sherbet.

Sunset Sherbet may make you more giggly and talkative than usual. If you are taking it on a working day, you can let your boss know that you are on medication. Fortunately, the effects will not floor you so you will still be able to keep up with your obligations as usual. On the positive side, if you are usually reserved, your workmates may just get to see the better side of you.
