Gila Monster
Our own monster. Midnight-purple buds with fiery orange pistils and a lazy, lizard-in-the-sun high.
● About Gila Monster
Meet Gila Monster.
Gila Monster is a High Desert Relief exclusive, and it is an absolute monster. Its thick, chunky buds look like its namesake's beaded armor: deep midnight purple with fiery orange pistils and a heavy coat of frost.
It tastes sweet and skunky with sour notes, paired with a lazy, sedative high. Think sunbathing and lazing around, just like a lizard on a warm rock.
