Choosing the right strain of medical cannabis can be confusing at first with so many different and occasionally unusual names - the strain names are not always representative of the desired medicinal effects. This being said, it is much easier to decide what your desired effects are before you decide which strain to go with. To make things easier we have split the effects into two categories: HEAD and BODY.
Every once in awhile I’ll encounter a cross that makes me scratch my head and today’s sample is one of those herbs. The breeder crossed Purple Urkle with Romulan, and Urkulan is the spawn of these two powerhouses. Bred for its myriad medicinal benefits, Urkulan takes Indica-heavy hybrids to new heights.
Starts out bright, cerebral and intense. Provides comfort and relief without total loss of function, the the heavy, relaxing side creeps in. Depending on the patients tolerance, it can make them very drowsy.
One of the fastest growing webpages in popularity regarding ‘marijuana’ is undoubtedly WeedMaps.com. Less than three years old, this marijuana consumer-friendly online service has leapfrogged in webpage traffic over traditionally popular and older cannabis-centric webpages such as CannabisCulture, High Times and, indeed, even NORML.
Jack Herer, like its namesake, the self -proclaimed Emperor of Hemp, is legendary in its ability to defy expectations and stigmas. If you haven’t sampled it, you’ve probably heard of it. The award winning cross is reputed to be 50% Haze x 37.5% Northern Lights #5 x 12.5% Skunk#1 and if that sounds familiar it’s probably because those are the same strains used in a number of other big-name crosses (including one of my personal favorites Super Silver Haze). The intention of the breeder was to take full advantage of the incredible sativa effect of the Haze, but to shorten its stature and increase the bud density by combining it with an indica.
Intense, heavy and relaxing. Creates fast acting and long lasting physical and mental relief.
