When you look at the buds of Gumbo, you might notice how most are fairly round and covered with deep shades of greens and burnt orange pistils.

Gumbo’s effects tend to sedate or increase appetite according to reviewers, and some consumers have used it to help with insomnia or eating disorders along with pain management and muscle spasms.

Higher levels of the terpene Beta-Myrcene can be found in Gumbo, which also might explain why it leads to sedation, as Myrcene has been correlated with sleepiness or a “couch-lock” effect.
