A Slow Build Into a Very Heavy Body

Death Star takes about 5 minutes to start, and the reported effect is a slow-build heavy body slam. The listed use cases are a deep evening and an after-shift heavy session. THC runs 19-24%. Inhaled, it lasts 2 to 4 hours, with a longer arc from edibles.

Fuel, Spice and a Heavy Body

The dominant terpenes are caryophyllene, myrcene and limonene, in that order.

Caryophyllene

Caryophyllene delivers the peppery warmth that shows up with the earthy spice.

Myrcene

Myrcene supports the body-relaxing heaviness that defines the high.

Limonene

Limonene carries a faint uplifting brightness that sits behind the diesel.

An Ohio Cross of Diesel and Sensi Star

Death Star is a Sour Diesel by Sensi Star cross from Ohio in the early 2000s. It is associated with the Midwest and the diesel-meets-indica profile, and flowers in 8 to 9 weeks.
