With a near-even balance between sativa and indica (sativa/indica ratio of 45/55), Chemdawg, also known as Chemdog, delivers on both fronts. A clear cerebral high drives creativity while a stony, sleepy body high fights insomnia and relaxes the muscles. This strain has THC levels up to 19%, meaning it’s more potent than most. It has a powerful spicy, plant-like taste and smell with a hint of diesel; the aroma alone can alert snoopy neighbors to even a carefully concealed pot grow. Not surprisingly, Chemdawg is used to produce Sour Diesel, one of the world’s most popular strains. Little is known about Chemdawg’s history or genetics, though there are urban legends involving a Grateful Dead concert, a handful of seeds, and a grower named Chemdog. Best for anxiety and pain, this strain is also helpful with depression and ADHD, as well as migraines, arthritis, and PMS. Dry mouth and dry eyes are possible when using this strain, while other side effects are less likely. Chemdawg is most popular on the West Coast, in Nevada, and in Colorado. It’s possible to find on the black market but doesn’t come around very often.
THCa hemp refers to cannabis plants or products that contain high levels of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa) while maintaining delta-9 THC levels below the legal limit of 0.3% by dry weight
THCa is the non-psychoactive precursor to THC found abundantly in raw, unheated cannabis plants
Unlike THC, THCa does not produce intoxicating effects when consumed in its raw form
However, when heated through smoking, vaping, or cooking, THCa converts to psychoactive THC through a process called decarboxylation
THCa hemp is considered federally legal as long as it contains no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight
However, state laws may vary, and the legal landscape is complex. Some states may have restrictions on THCa products, while others follow federal guidelines.
Using THCa products, regardless of whether they’re heated or consumed raw, is highly likely to result in a failed drug test for THC. If you’re subject to drug testing, it’s advisable to avoid THCa products entirely to minimize the risk of failing a test
