Wu-Tang fans will instantly understand the reference contained in this indica-dominant bud, as its moniker is an homage to ODB himself. Seen under a variety of names on the cannabis market, Dirty Old Bastard is rumored to be a cross between OG Kush and Blackberry, although anonymous breeders haven’t confirmed or denied that pairing.

A pretty mellow bud for all users, Dirty Old Bastard clocks in right around 14% THC with light green nugs that take on a super furry appearance. Amber hairs poke out beneath a layer of similarly toned trichomes with an aroma that’s sure to turn heads. Both flavors and smells are almost sickly sweet with lemon, berry, and hints of pine dancing on your palate.

As if you were a little girl excited for the first day of school, your initial high with Dirty Old Bastard is one of extreme euphoria and giddiness. Users become incredibly happy along with the ability to tap into their creative side, and it’s not unusual to also feel aroused. These sensations are shortlived, however, as relaxation comes in like a crushing blow. A warm body buzz along with a hazy mind bring your night to its final conclusion, and if you smoke enough of it, this strain may put you to sleep.

Because the mental effects of this strain are so potent, medical users who struggle with stress and depression find that Dirty Old Bastard holds the key to their happiness. As long as you take it easy on the dose, this bud can help with fatigue before your comedown, and even those with trouble eating will find that they can regain their appetite once more. Although Dirty Old Bastard may not be a powerhouse when it comes to THC or CBD, she can get the job done like no one else.

If there’s one thing that’s a guarantee in the cannabis industry, it’s that strains with unknown breeders can be very difficult to track down when it comes to home growing. Dirty Old Bastard is no different than the rest, with a search for seeds coming up with less than ideal results. Those who have their hearts set on cultivating this plant at home may want to focus their efforts on other more popular strains.

Dirty Old Bastard might sound like the type of person you should stay away from, but in fact, it’s a bud that may become your new best friend. Think of this strain as a sweet after dinner treat and let her rollercoaster of effects take you on a wild ride. If you’re so inclined, put on a little Wu-Tang while you smoke and let the good times roll.
