Winner of the 2012 High Times Los Angeles Cannabis Cup and a balanced 50/50 hybrid that makes you feel good in all the right ways, Master Yoda is truly a master of its craft. It was developed by crossing Master Kush and OG Kush, giving it a legacy that it has lived up to. A local favorite in Los Angeles, it’s widely loved by growers and users alike.

Master Yoda brings strength with its high, as THC testing regularly shows levels at or above 20%. Buds are light green in color, speckled with orange pistils and completely covered with some of the most frosty trichomes you’ve ever seen. Many say that the aroma of Master Yoda hangs in the air for days, as it’s a strong mixture of dank weed and vanilla, with hints of citrus and pine poking through. The flavor, on the other hand, is far more pleasing, as you are taken on a journey through orange, lemon, and vanilla tastes.

Since this strain can reach as high as 28% THC, it’s recommended that newer smokers steer clear. If you know you can handle the high, Master Yoda will come on slowly with a sensation of relaxation and calm. As your mellow vibes begin to build, a sense of euphoria will come along for the ride, and in some cases can create a pretty strong case of couch lock. However, if you just go with the flow and let Master Yoda do its work, you’ll become more relaxed than ever before.

Given the deep calming sensations provided by this bud, medical patients who struggle with stress and depression will appreciate how their negative feelings are washed away. As a strain that offers an entire body high, Master Yoda also works well to combat physical pain, including headaches, joint pain, and even spasticity. Expect the munchies after taking a hit, and if you have a tough time with your appetite, count on eating a full meal.

Master Yoda is an incredibly resilient plant and can be grown in nearly any environment. Reaching upwards of 6 feet and boasting an odor that lingers quite heavily, think twice before growing outside if you’re concerned about privacy. After about an 8 week flowering cycle, you’ll yield a large harvest that commercial growers rave about.

Plan a lazy afternoon or a quiet night at home, then let Master Yoda come out to play. You’ll notice how nicely both the indica and sativa effects are balanced and you can let the worries of a hard day just roll off of your back.
