Bubblegum Strain Review

STRAIN: Bubblegum
GENETICS: Unknown US Indica (originating from Indiana)
PRICE: $50 1/8th
FOUND AT: Cannabis 4 Health



Bubblegum is a phenomenal strain comprised of unknown genetics somewhere in Indiana in the early 1990's. From there it made it's way to New England, then eventually Amsterdam. After arriving in Holland, the goal was to stabilize the strain. There is now two variations of the original Bubblegum; a short, squat nearly pure Indica from Serious Seeds, and a stretchier version from T.H.Seeds which seems to have some Sativa influence. The one I am reviewing is the Indica-dominant Bubblegum. This strain produces large, rock-hard buds saturated in sticky crystals giving the buds a white-crystalline appearance with deep red hairs. The smell is spot-on, a familiar sweetness very similar to classic bubblegum that transitions into flavor flawlessly. The effects come on strong, but surprisingly euphoric and cerebral for such a heavy Indica; a nice change from the typically boring, generic Indicas I so often encounter. The high has a noteable anti-depressant/anxiety effect;  that relaxing, red-eyed, laughter-inducing stone that makes you feel warm and cozy inside. This strain has great medicinal potential, effective for a variety of symptoms including: Depression, anxiety, insomnia, decreased appetite, migraine/headache, muscle pain, nerve pain.
