The yield king of the 1980s, an Afghani-Skunk cross with colossal colas. Mild spicy-sweet flavor and a mellow, unhurried body calm.
Big Bud is a indica cannabis strain, typically testing at 14-20% THC, a cross of Afghani, Skunk #1, and Northern Lights. Consumers most often describe its effects as relaxed, sleepy, and happy. On the palate it tends toward earthy and sweet notes, which tracks with its dominant terpenes: myrcene and caryophyllene. Among the people who log what they are using it for, Big Bud comes up most often around anxiety, depression, stress, and insomnia, though that reflects what consumers report rather than any tested medical effect. The most commonly reported downsides are dry mouth, dry eyes, and dizziness, and a lower dose is the usual way to avoid them.
