This bud is rumored to have been created by the US Government during the 60's and 70's when they were experimenting with growing native Afghani weed strains for “medical” purposes.

Despite its confusing origins, G13 is definitely one bud that you should try at least once in your life, especially given its powerful effects and insanely potent 24% average THC level.
