The high starts almost as soon as you exhale, beginning as a cerebral lift that offers a boost of the spirits and an influx of buzzy euphoria.

G13

Indica 70/30 — THC 2224%

G13, also known as “ G-13” or “Government Indica Strain 1,” is an indica dominant hybrid (70% indica/30% sativa) strain with unknown parentage.
