The varieties of cannabis in any given locality are all the result of the natural order of life.
In other words, the breeds were not because of intervention. For the modern hybrids, however, these are the ‘designer strains’ bred for different reasons.
Blue Dot, for example, may have come from an unknown breeder, but its purpose is clear and that it is for medical use.
Allegedly, it was a medical patient in the county of Sonoma in California who developed Blue Dot.
Information is scarce, but one source cited its roots to be from White Widow, Skunk, Big Bud, Northern Lights No. 5.
Formerly, it was also called Medical Grade Bud or MGB.
By all accounts, the modern-day iteration of Blue Dot is that it is a descendant of Leda Uno, Northern Lights, and Haze.
It should also be noted that there might be versions using other strains. At any rate, like the original, it is clone-only.
Blue Dot, being Sativa-dominant, does deliver an exceptional mental high.
However, it is the mellow body buzz the follows that makes it sort of special. Hopefully, a breeder can reproduce Blue Dot that makes its seed available.

The high Blue Dot delivers does come in full force right away, and it is certainly not to be underestimated. Once it kicks in at the onset, it sends users on a euphoric cerebral high. It hits with an energizing buzz that kick starts people into action.
Some strains can induce hyperactivity but also cause a foggy mind. Blue Dot, on the other hand, inspires creative thoughts and mental clarity. Often, it helps people focus better on tasks. Feeling uplifted and generally cheerful, users tend to become sociable.
Even though it leans more towards its Sativa side, it doesn’t mean that its Indica traits do not have a role. As the cerebral high reaches its peak, the physical effects start to trickle down to the body. Soon, the warm buzz soothes aching muscled and promotes relaxation. While its physical high can be profound, it is not likely to cause a couch-lock.
