Guard Dawg is an interesting and elusive Indica-dominant strains grown by popular Canadian cannabis company, RedEyed Genetics. These genius breeders thought to cross two incredibly potent and powerful strains, Abusive OG and Tre Stardawg, in an attempt to breed the ultimate powerhouse strain. Reportedly, this strain is incredibly hard to find outside of a few specific markets in Canada and Puerto Rico. However, those who do manage to get their hands on a bit of the Guard Dawg rave about its powerful effects without citing cannabinoid levels. Unfortunately, this means only the strain’s low test values of 29% THC are available.

Guard Dawg buds are just one layer of this multifaceted strain that makes it so interesting. These tight, dense little buds are often mistaken for shake by some dispensaries because of how small they are. You should expect the primary color of these buds to be olive or mint green, with the edges of the plants being tinted slightly purple or blue based on the temperature they were grown at. This flower’s aroma is so pungent it’s sure to alert even the laziest of guard dogs once you bust it out. You should expect your room to quickly fill with a cloud of dank herbs and menthol. The flavor is much the same, with exhales tasting much like sweet dank herb mixed with pine and menthol.

The effects of Guard Dawg are nothing short of immediate and in your face. As soon as you take a rip of this bud, you’re met with the intense rush of cerebral haze and euphoria. Many users who are unfamiliar with incredibly potent bud will find themselves tripping out a bit, as many have reported feeling a bit anxious after smoking this one for the first time. If you don’t have this same sensitivity towards anxiety, then you’re certainly in for a treat.

As your mind settles into what feels like a calm, tranquil ocean, the haze quickly dissipates from your mind and you are free and clear-minded once again. As your experience a growing sense of creative energy, your body is slowly taken hold of by a creeping body high. This tingly body high is subtle but quick to seize control of your muscles and send you into a fit of utter relaxation.

Medical cannabis patients suffering from chronic pain, depression, and insomnia have found that this strain is great at treating their symptoms. Likewise, many have reviewed this strain saying that it has helped restore their appetite and soothe their nausea.
