Caryophyllene is expected to have relaxing and stress relieving qualities; limonene is expected to produce uplifting effects; and myrcene is thought to possess sedative qualities. 

When you put those perceived effects together, it’s easy to see why Tropical Punch is known as a feel-good strain that puts a smile on your face.

Those systems and effects will be based on physical makeup, experience with cannabis, and many other factors. That said, various online reviews state that Tropical Punch can be both a body high and a head high.

Famed Seattle-based cannabis review site Respect My Region states that “The Tropical Punch strain might be perfect for achieving total body relaxation while calming the mind. Its potentially uplifting therapeutic effects might help wind down after a long day.” 

AllBud says that “The Tropical Punch high hits you almost as soon as you exhale, launching your mind into a lifted state of happy euphoria, pushing out any negative or racing thoughts almost immediately. You'll feel an influx of creativity and sociability that has you carrying on conversations with those around you with ease. A relaxing body high accompanies this lifted mental state, keeping your body anchored with a sense of calm as your mind climbs higher and higher.”
