Any regular cannabis consumer is familiar with the G13 strain and has probably heard some of its urban legends. Allegedly, the CIA, FBI, and other agencies were breeding “super hybrids” at a super-secret facility at the University of Mississippi in the late 1960s. Some say one of the technicians was able to steal away a single cut of this plant for mass breeding. Whether or not this is true, the G13 strain is undoubtedly powerful, both in flavor and effects.
The G13 strain is a strong indica, and has a lot of the familiar appearances of indica strains. You’ll notice rock-like nugs that are dense as hell, and have a prevailing herbaceous citrus stench. Earthy green hues tinge the leaves as hairy orange pistils swarm its surface. Satisfactory levels of trichomes will thickly coat its insides-and-out. Cracking a nug open, you’ll be hit with a more concentrated blast of citrus, herbs, and rich gasoline.
As an indica strain, the dominant terps for the G13 strain aren’t very surprising. You get a mixture of myrcene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene. This combination often amounts to a loud strain with proper potential for stress and pain relief. The effects of this strain are celebrated among the cannabis community for the way they grab hold of you.

Myrcene is a common terpene that promotes calm relaxation and adds a sweet, sometimes berry-like herbaceousness to the aroma. Limonene is also a common terpene that has anxiety and stress-relieving potential, as well as a bright citrus aroma. Beta-caryophyllene will often show up in indica strains, giving them their funky, gassy, spicy musk, and potential pain-relieving effects.
Smoking on some of the G13 strain might get your head right rather quickly. The high is strongly cerebral and physical, and your frown might turn upside down with each toke. Anyone who has the opportunity to try this strain should because it might offer some of the stoniest and lasting euphoric highs you’ve ever felt. Prepare to have a comfortable night in with the G13 strain and potentially forget whatever you were doing in the process. This strain might be very useful for those who suffer from insomnia.
