Denver-based breeders at Ethos take great pride in their strain development, and as a part of their Purple Kush Line, they’ve made Cali Dragon. A three-way cross between LA OG Clone, Trainwreck, and Recon OG4, she brings users strong effects along with a robust and complex set of flavors.

Ideal for those who are experienced smokers, Cali Dragon often tops out at 29% THC, although breeders peg her more in the 24% range. Buds are pretty small and dense, yet their dark green color is accented by orange hairs and amber trichomes. The perfect blend of spicy and sweet, you’ll notice hints of pine, citrus, and herbs that shift from sour to mellow and back again as you smoke. This strain tends to be rather bold, so if you require discretion, keep her far from others.

Long-lasting and potent from the start, Cali Dragon brings a wealth of effects that embody what many might call a classic hybrid high. Right off the bat, cerebral effects smash into you with a sensation of euphoria that’s completely unmatched along with a happy-go-lucky attitude that lasts and lasts. You’ll feel joyful and social and could even focus a bit of mental attention on some last-minute tasks if needed. However, Cali Dragon’s come down is real and you’ll soon find a deep sense of relaxation that can be sedating at times.

Ethos notes that this strain measures in with about 1% CBD, making it a great option for those who use cannabis to treat medical conditions. Cali Dragon works quickly to soothe aches and pains including migraines and women’s health concerns and is equally effective for less tangible issues. ADD/ADHD, anxiety, and depression all fall by the wayside once this strain’s uplifting effects kick in, making her a great option for early afternoon or evening relaxation.

Word on the street is that seeds of Cali Dragon can be hard to come by, as they are often sold out online. However, those who are able to place an order will find this strain is fairly easy to cultivate at home, taking only about 8 to 9 weeks to fully mature. Specifics around her preferred climate and additional care are fuzzy at best, so we’d recommend you consult with an experienced grower before you begin.

If you’ve run through the gamut of popular potent strains and are looking for something a bit different, give Cali Dragon a try. Her unique flavors will no doubt keep you coming back for more, and assuming you know your tolerance well, she can be used to promote joy toward the end of your day and relaxation just before you head to bed.
