About These Strains

Chemdawg

Hybrid 60/40 — THC 17–21%

With a near-even balance between sativa and indica (sativa/indica ratio of 45/55), Chemdawg, also known as Chemdog, delivers on both fronts. A clear cerebral high drives creativity while a stony, sleepy body high fights insomnia and relaxes the muscles.

This strain has THC levels up to 19%, meaning it's more potent than most.

Colombian Gold

Sativa 25/75 — THC 17–21%

Colombian Gold is some seriously old-school marijuana. A close relative of the even more famous Acapulco Gold, this strain was born in the Santa Marta mountains of Colombia and exploded across the United States in the 1960s.

Its popularity has since faded dramatically, but it remains an effective tool for treating muscle spasms and chronic pain.
