Big Bud

Big Bud cannabis strain is akin to the warm hug of an old pal at day’s end; its calming effects carry you off to a place of pure relaxation. This Indica powerhouse has a middling THC level of 14%, so it won’t overwhelm you – perfect for zoning out and forgetting about life's stresses. While you’re basking in its soothing vibes, get ready for one thing above all: sleepiness. Also known as feeling ‘super chill man,’ this mellow buzz may well coax even the most stubborn insomniac into a spontaneous siesta. Users should also be prepared to feel both hungry and happy (‘hangry’ doesn’t really feature with Big Bud weed strain); snack attacks are common with this strain – so make sure there's something tasty within arm’s reach before settling down!

But what really sets Big Bud apart from other Indicas is its terpene profile. Specifically speaking, which brings us nicely to pinene: lots and lots of it! As such, this pine-scented blend isn't just reminiscent of walking through woods on a crisp morning (although consumers note they do feel rather ‘woodlandy’ when using the herb) but more an assault—albeit a very pleasing one—of pine-scented air freshener mixed with cedar closet liners and two-stroke motorbike engine oil clean turps.

Breeders have been busy crossing sativa and indica strains over the last few decades to come up with plants that offer the best of both worlds: uplifting highs that don't turn into paranoia-inducing nightmares; stoney sedated feelings that won't leave the smoker glued to the couch like tree sap either.

Whilst recreational users will enjoy the fact it doesn't glue them to a spot half afterwards (unless they want to be glued to a spot), breeders have also kept in mind that people seek relief from a range of medical complaints such as pain, insomnia, stress, etc. And let's face it, Big Bud does the job nicely indeed without being a total narcotic knockout that leaves you reading number plates at 4am after a night of long partying.
