I’m always on the hunt for something special. In the world of hemp flower, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of strains that are either too sleepy or too weak to notice. I’m looking for that “just right” feeling—a strain that can clear the fog from my brain, soothe my shoulders, and get me into a creative flow without any intoxication or fuzziness.
It’s a tall order. But I think I’ve finally found it.
This week, I stepped into East Tree CBD Dispensary and the team pointed me toward their newest arrival: Purple Ghost Candy.
The name alone was intriguing. It sounds more like a high-end confection than a legal hemp flower. But the moment they opened the jar, I knew this was different. The aroma was complex, loud, and absolutely enticing.
I’ve now spent the better part of a week with this strain, and I’m ready to report back. This is a full, in-depth review of Purple Ghost Candy, a legal, Sativa-dominant CBD flower that might just be your new daytime favorite.
Let’s be honest, we buy with our eyes first. And visually, Purple Ghost Candy is a showstopper.
This isn’t your average, nondescript hemp. The buds are dense, spade-shaped, and meticulously hand-trimmed. They have a vibrant, minty green base that serves as a canvas for the “purple” in its name. Deep, stunning shades of violet and lavender are woven throughout the flower, accented by fiery orange pistils.
But the “candy” part comes from the trichomes. The flower is absolutely blanketed in a frosty, sticky layer of white crystal trichomes. They are so prominent they almost have a purple tint under the light.
The cure is perfect. The buds are sticky to the touch but snap cleanly, they don’t crumble into dust. It’s a sign of a premium grow and a patient curing process, which is critical for preserving the terpenes we’re about to talk about.
Visuals:
This is where Purple Ghost Candy truly shines and separates itself from the pack. When you first open the jar, your nose is hit with a wave of pungent, spicy gas. It’s got that “diesel” kick that tells you it’s a descendant of some serious genetics.
But right behind that initial gassiness is a wave of dark, sweet fruit. Think less “candy” and more “concord grape” or “blackberry jam.” It’s rich and earthy. As you break the flower apart with your fingers or a grinder, a third note appears: a sharp, peppery, citrus-lemon zest.
It’s a full-on sensory journey:
This incredible aroma doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of a rich terpene profile dominated by a few key players.
Terpenes are the aromatic oils in the hemp plant that create its unique smell and flavor. More importantly, they contribute to the flower’s effects through the “entourage effect,” working in synergy with CBD.
Here are the primary terpenes in Purple Ghost Candy:
This combination—Caryophyllene for the body, Limonene for the mind, and Myrcene for the balance—is what makes this strain so uniquely effective.
I tested this flower in two ways: a dry herb vaporizer and a traditional paper cone.
In the vaporizer (at 380°F): The flavor is exceptionally clean. The inhale is all about the Limonene and Myrcene. You get a rush of sweet, fruity grape and sour lemon candy. The taste is bright and delicious. On the exhale, the spicy, earthy Caryophyllene and gassy notes come forward, rounding out the flavor with a satisfying, full-bodied finish.
In a cone: The flavor is robust and rich. The burn is slow, even, and produces a clean white ash (another sign of a premium, clean-grown product). The gassy, diesel, and spicy-earth notes are much more prominent, with the fruitiness acting as a pleasant background note.
Whether you’re a flavor-chaser with a vaporizer or prefer a classic smoke, Purple Ghost Candy delivers a smooth, tasty, and cough-free experience.
This is the most important part of any review. How does it make you feel?
As a Sativa-dominant hybrid (60% Sativa, 40% Indica), I was expecting a “heady” experience, and it delivered—but not in the way you might think.
The effects of this CBD flower are not subtle. Within minutes of my first few puffs, I felt a distinct shift. It’s not a “high”; it’s a “presence.” The best way I can describe it is like a camera lens snapping into sharp focus. My mind felt clearer, lighter, and more energized. The mental chatter from my morning to-do list just… quieted down.
This is where the Sativa genetics from its Candyland Purple parent shine. I felt an uplifting, gentle wave of creative energy. I sat down to write, and the words just flowed. There was no racing-heart anxiety that can come from some Sativas—just clean, uplifting focus. This is a “get stuff done” strain.
Simultaneously, the Indica side from its Ghost OG lineage began to work. This is the 40% Indica, driven by that Caryophyllene. I felt a warm, soothing sensation roll down my shoulders and back, releasing the tension I hadn’t even realized I was holding. My body was calm, but my mind was sharp.
This is the magic of Purple Ghost Candy: it is the perfect balance of “mind on, body off.” It’s an active, engaging calm.
Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend this strain for:
Now, let’s talk about the most important part for us here in Indiana: legality and safety.
