Old timers should gush at the mention of Chemdawg. Among the classic marijuana strains, it is one of the most illustrious. Purple Chemdawg is one of it’s children.
Its fame is not only with its psychedelic effects though.
A big reason is the legends that descended from it such as Sour Diesel and OG Kush, both of which have also served as genetic bases of numerous other award-winning hybrids.
Granddaddy Purple (GDP strain) is also another renowned strain.
First released in 2003, it may be relatively young but has since captured the imagination and the taste of users worldwide.
An unidentified breeder, using these two strains, developed a predominantly Indica hybrid. It is aptly named Purple Chemdawg for a few good reasons.
For instance, its scent has the heavy influence of both Chemdawg and GDP, and even its looks.
When it comes to psychedelic high, the infusion of Granddaddy Purple helps tone down Chemdawg.
Instead of an intensely insane buzzing high, the hybrid leaves users on a dreamy, introspective journey.
There is another strain that goes by the name Purple Chem (Chemdawg 91 x Pre-98 Bubba Kush).
Although it may exhibit the same traits as Purple Chemdawg, it is an entirely different hybrid.

Effects
Apart from fragrance, Chemdawg also passed on its potency. At up to 21% THC, Purple Chemdawg is not one for the beginners. That is not to say that first-timers cannot use it. If so, it is best to have an experienced companion acting as a guide and be sure to use only a tiny amount.
A fast-acting strain, Purple Chemdawg induces a euphoric head high in no time at all. It results in the sense of happiness welling inside of users. Feeling reinvigorated, most people tend to feel not only bubbly but also hyperactive. In moderation, the mental clarity and keen sense of focus it promotes can keep one locked on tasks.
Gradually, an uplifting sensation trickles down to the body. It seamlessly blends in with the cerebral high as it puts the body in relaxation. Once the Indica properties of Purple Chemdawg is in full effect, there is not much that users can do but to sit or lie down.
During this time, users often fall into deep introspection. Individuals who can tolerate THC well, on the other hand, are likely to experience a dreamy high. Either way, one thing is for sure. The relaxing quality of the numbing physical effects is unreal.
