Boss Hogg Strain

Fans of the television series The Dukes of Hazzard will squeal with delight after taking a toke out of Boss Hogg.

Although the character it takes its name from is a greedy villain, the strain is quite far from being unpleasant.

If anything, the only similarity is the thick smoke surrounding the bud once it is combusted.

Boss Hogg is a pleasant strain that eases the day’s headaches and fatigue brought about by stress.

It has an interesting effect though. While it delivers a soothing Indica buzz, its effects are cerebrally and physically stimulating especially with its THC levels that average between 17% to 20%. And so, its versatility attracts users with different preferences.

Interestingly, in creating the strain, Cali Connection did not choose two parents with different genetics.

Rather, it used Chemdawg 4 as a genetic base before crossing it with another Chemdawg 4 backcross thus creating a diesel-flavored, quick-acting strain.

Effects

Indica-leaning strains are commonly associated with a heavy-hitting body-focused psychedelic high. To this end, Boss Hogg is quite unique as its onset is heavily cerebral.

Not to mention, its physical effects are quite stimulating. Because of this, the strain is immensely popular among users looking for a relaxing yet motivating influence.

Its initial onset, which starts only minutes after the first few puffs, is marked by a rush of euphoria to the head.

In spite of its intensity, it keeps users level-headed as it clears away cobwebs in the mind. It creates a path for thoughts to flow and form freely.

Armed with new perspectives and a piqued interest, the heightened sense of motivation prompts users to concentrate on tasks or projects for long periods of time.

After about an hour or two, a tingling sensation from the temples ebbs down. It creeps into the muscles, removing tension in its wake.

It soothes the body through and through before blanketing it in deep relaxation.

Keeping it from sending users to bed is the initial head high that busies the mind with an influx of ideas that require action.

To some, the freedom from mental and physical inhibition can be quite arousing.

Used as a bedtime companion, it can create a great atmosphere for partners doing the deed.

Balancing it out is an earthy undertone that comes about after breaking apart or combusting the buds.

Flavors
