Morning Glory Strain Review – Bonza Blog
Barney’s Farm created a super strain when it crossed three popular cannabis staples. Hawaiian has pleasant citrus and spice flavors.

A small dose delivers a quick-acting high centered around the mind at the onset before settling into the limbs at the comedown. Because of this, it can also be a great evening sleeping companion that gently cradles users to sleep hours before bedtime.
