Nor Cal Purps, also known as NCP, is a California-bred cannabis variety created by breeder Sal Robles through a cross between Grandaddy Purple and Grape Ape. This lineage brings together two iconic purples, resulting in a cultivar celebrated for its color, fragrance, and resin production.
The buds tend to be dense and chunky, often flaunting a rich purple hue with a glossy, frost-ted appearance from abundant trichomes. The aroma leans strongly grape, a sweet, fruity perfume with a pungent edge that lingers on the hands and in the air, while the palate catches those same grape notes in a satisfying, flavorful profile.
The effects are typically heavy and sedating, delivering a relaxing body high paired with a mellow, fruity mental state. It can ease tension and promote lasting calm, and users often report a pronounced appetite cue, sometimes leaving you dreaming of a late night buffet as the day melts away.
