Chem Dawg is a sativa-leaning hybrid flower and has 35.70% total cannabinoids. The structure of the flower is slightly spongey but pushes back with defined calyxes and amber hairs protruding throughout. The buds have a light green color and break apart easily.
A chemmy aroma escapes as the flowers are broken up, reminding me of petrol and leather with a hint of sourness. The flavor of the dense smoke was strong with black pepper, notes of citrus, and a little sweetness at the end. Caryophyllene is a dominant terpene of the infamous Chem Dawg strain, resulting in spicy flavors, along with limonene and myrcene.
The effects were rather intensely cerebral the first few minutes, with a heightened sense of awareness and a strong, motivated feeling. After a bit, the Chem Dawg smoke had settled into a consciousness-heightening experience, and I felt like I was elevated both mentally and emotionally.
With over 34% THC in this flower, the effects are noticeable very quickly, and I was pleasantly surprised at how long the effects lasted, as sometimes sativa strains wear off quicker for me. After a few hours, I was still high in the clouds mentally, but able to focus and found it to be very inspiring.
Chem Dawg is a great strain for concerts, which is no surprise given the folklore that this strain was passed via a bag seed at none other than a Grateful Dead concert. I also enjoy Chem Dawg before a hike or doing something artistic, like painting or crafts, due to its imaginative effects.

We all know honey comes from bees, and bees need flowers to make honey, so does this mean bees can make infused honey from the flowers of the cannabis plant? The details are more complicated than you’d think. Cannabis flowers don’t produce nectar, so bees can’t make honey from them. Since cannabis plants pollinate via…
Over the last decade, there has been considerable discussion about the future of cannabis. Typically, those conversations center around legality, market size, and social and medical impacts, all of which are interesting topics in their own right. But there has been far less discussion about the digital future of cannabis. With more and more of…
Talking to your family about cannabis can be difficult. You’re often battling with generations of stigma and the impacts of changing social norms in real time. Conversing with a grandparent who grew up believing that cannabis is bad and those who smoke weed are lazy, among other sentiments, can be challenging. With that in mind,…
With so many Western contexts for cannabis (legal dispensaries, lounges, education pathways, etc), we sometimes forget the big picture. The history of cannabis use spans centuries, with unique applications across China, India, and many other regions. Throughout centuries of use, many cultures have developed traditions that are still in practice today. One scarcely documented example…
