Comments-
I didn't do the best grow and I might not have got the best selection, but this plant still rocks. It has perhaps the widest spectrum of medical benefits from any plant i've tried and I'm quite sure I can bring the THC level up with a better grow.
You may find plants that are better in certain categories but as an overall medication, for multiple problems, it would be pretty hard to beat it. I find it's very good for sleep, appetite, pain, and most of all, anxiety.
As a recreational smoke, its good for social events, sex, and a wide variety of other things. I would love to try this one on a hike in a secluded area, while having sex, and then going to a party.
Whatever it is, it just lightens the mood and starts the smiles spreading. A very relaxing, stress relieving smoke that tastes great to boot.
I have a patient that has extreme problems with anxiety and after a year, had still not found a smoke that didn't cause severe attacks, until the Bubba Katsu.
This patient just happens to be my wife so I can clearly see the difference. We are still testing it out on her but so far the results are better then i could have expected and this means a great deal to me.
We may be able to slowly ween her off all the medications she is currently taking and replacing it with Bubba Katsu.
Or, at least we can lower the amount she has to take and slow the damage those medications cause. The Katsu could be a life changer and I will owe Doc an eternal debt of gratitude for keeping this strain available to the public if we keep having good results with it.

Final Comment-
A while back a friend grew out Doc's Katsu and I tried it back then. Based on that taste and high I can tell I didn't nail this grow and/or I didn't get as nice a specimen as he did. I plan to pop the remaining seed and grow it out again to see if I can find a better pheno because its easy to see the potential of this plant even without getting the best results.
