In reality, its benefits to people with chronic illnesses are a result of the mental and body high it gives.
One of the unique hybrids is the Blue Velvet. This balanced strain does all those as mentioned earlier, but it is more known for the energy boost it delivers along with its more pronounced Sativa effects.
Blue Velvet was bred by DJ Short in the Bay Area decades ago. Somehow, it found its way to the Dutch scene and is more widely available today.
The strain is a result of a cross between the Sativa Purple Thai and the Indica Afghani.
While it is a balanced split, its Sativa side is more evident and complemented well by its Indica side.

There are strains out there that can induce a hazy mind, but this one does not do that.
Instead, most people would have a clearer head. Furthermore, it also unleashes the creativity in the minds of its users.
Blue Velvet Effects
Most people also feel a surge of energy that helps them complete their tasks.
As the effects start to creep down to the body, most users remain clear headed. At the same time, there is also a heightened ability to focus.
Soon, though, the Indica side will start to overwhelm the body.
At that point, most users would feel completely relaxed. If users indulge too much, it will likely lead to laziness. If this happens, then we can say that the mind is willing, but the body only wants to laze around.
Fragrance
One notable thing about the Blue Velvet is that it is also called Blueberry Thai by some people.
We are not sure if this is another strain or the same one. At any rate, it makes sense because it does emit a strong blueberry scent accompanied by a spicy and earthy odor.
Flavors
Much of how it smells carry over to its flavors. It is made more delightful by an exotic blend of lavender and coffee to go along with its sweet fruity blueberry taste.
Adverse Reaction
Like all other cannabis strains, Blue Velvet has a couple of adverse reactions that is to be expected.
Most people would experience with varying degree dry mouth and eyes. Using more means these symptoms will be more pronounced.

But using Blue Velvet can also lead to a severe case of the munchies. On the one hand, this is helpful to people who need help in stimulating their appetite.
But on the contrary, once the Indica side takes over, it will come to a battle of the will. Eat or stay still – that is for the users to decide.
Blue Velvet Medical
Because of its ability to induce euphoria, it also follows that the Blue Velvet can be useful in behavioral problems. For instance, it is used by medical cannabis users to help them deal with depression.
Finally, the sedative-like traits of its Indica side are also useful in pain relief. As such, it is helpful to people who are dealing with muscle spasms, arthritis, and others.
