Billy Kimber by Garrison Lane (a name by a name?) is a Los Angeles-based strain that comes from a company whose siblings have been sweeping the High Times awards for a while. Billy Kimber himself won the 2018 Chalice Competition in California, but he’s shy and pretty hard to find outside of the West coast. Maybe when he becomes more well-known, he’ll get what’s coming to him.

The strain is potent, with a THC level that can hit 30% on the high end. This makes its therapeutic benefits not only potent but extremely long-lasting (more on those in a bit!). Billy Kimber is a rare phenotype of OG Kush, the ultimate daddy figure of famous strains like Girl Scout Cookies and Headband. It’s incredibly difficult, near-impossible, to find clones or seeds of Billy Kimber, so we won’t obsess over any growing tips. You can buy it directly from Garrison Lane or Gas House – that’s about it!

Even still, we know the plant has small, vibrant green nugs mixed with a yellow hue and a ton of soft orange crystal trichomes.

Billy Kimber was a real crime boss, leader of the Birmingham Boys (you might know something about that if you’ve been watching Peaky Blinders). As powerful as he was, even he could have been put down by his namesake strain. The effects of the Billy Kimber bud are insanely heavy, hitting hard and fast with 30% THC levels, knocking you out into a cerebral state. The euphoric, relaxing, tingling sensations of Billy Kimber are enough to defeat even the strongest muscle spasm or chronic pain condition.

Those who suffer from depression, mood swings, cramps, and other painful daily problems can hire Billy Kimber to knife their conditions to death. Even insomnia turns around slowly and walks out of your brain when it sees Billy Kimber at your table.

The flavor is spicy and woodsy, like a breath of outdoor herbs and trees. Like an earthy kush, Billy Kimber is punchy and spicy but also smooth, with a sweet herbal taste on the exhale that builds the longer you hang out with him. The heavy couch-lock should help you enjoy your time hanging out with Billy, maybe even giving you a chance to catch up on some sleep, which insomniacs will certainly appreciate. Whether sleeping or having a spa day, Billy Kimber’s sky-high THC and pungent, herbal flavors will make him the prize in your collection.
