Stoners love Star Wars. It should come as no surprise that the Alien Walker strain is also known as the Ewok strain. The 2013 winner of the Seattle High Times Cannabis Cup, this strain comes from crossing Albert Walker with Tahoe Alien. Alien Genetics did a number on this fast-growing cultivar that comes bursting with loud tangy and piney notes. Some say this powerful hitter might be the perfect hybrid strain for finding blissful relaxation.
The Ewok strain has brilliant coloration that varies in bright green hues. There’s less of a presence of pistils, but they still poke out to offer some contrast. What you’ll notice a lot quicker are the intrusive amount of trichomes coating it like fire. On the nose, you’ll pick up the strong piney citrus stench that makes this strain great. Breaking it apart will get your fingers sticky and reveal a deeper herbaceous floral aroma coupled with gas.
There’s a unique blend of terps on the Ewok strain that make it effective even for those with a high tolerance. Myrcene, pinene, and limonene are its dominant terps. This explains the prominent piney aromas you pick up on the nose, as well as the overall uplifting effects.

Myrcene takes on a more subtle role in the aromatics on the Ewok strain, giving it some floral and herby notes, and lending to the potentially relaxing high. Pinene is known to have anti-inflammatory properties that might make this strain useful for pain. As its name suggests, pinene gives a strain more of a fresh, outdoor smell that often reeks of pine trees. Limonene is a delectably sweet and citrus terp that might give Ewok its more depression-lifting and mood-lifting qualities.
Smoking on some of the Ewok strain, you’ll immediately taste that piney herbaceous spice on the initial draw. Inhaling, you’ll find more of the floral citrus sweetness that you pick up on the aromatics. The THC levels on this strain aren’t typically hitting over 19%, but the strong terpene profile might make for truly lasting effects. Full-body sedation may take over as you keep smoking, potentially washing away body pain and putting you in a welcoming mode of relaxation.
