Medical 49 by Vision Seeds is a sedating, three-way cross between AK-49, Russian Snow, and Skunk No.1. As you might have guessed with parentage that strong, this equal parts CBD to THC bud packs a heavy punch and is quickly climbing the ranks to achieve fan favorite status around Northern Europe.

THC levels in this strain are fairly modest, coming in at around 8% on average, but it’s truly the CBD that will blow you away at a matching 8%. Those that love this strain already know that the flavors experienced are parallel to the high itself. With robust notes of fruits and spices on the nose and a heavy sweetness on the palate, these bright green and white nugs are a hard act to follow. The amber hairs and crystal trichomes only add to its already stellar appearance.

With powerful waves of cerebral engagement and tranquilizing body effects, this is an all over high that starts in your head and overtakes the body for a complete calming experience. The effects are long-lasting, ebbing and flowing throughout the day; giving you minor bursts of energy that get you feeling creative and focused, then eventually winding you into a deep and happy sleep. Medical 49 is an insomniac’s best bud as it has the commitment of a Xanax with the casual attitude of a CBD water.

As if the name wasn’t already a dead giveaway, Medical 49 is an apt strain for medical purposes. Its 1:1 status makes it ideal for those that require CBD in their treatment, particularly when it comes to symptoms of pain, muscle tension, chronic arthritis, and injury. Social anxiety, stress, depression, and other more specific mental health issues, such as PTSD and bipolar, greatly benefit from this strain’s mild sedative properties. This bud is great to get you in a good headspace. Users will enjoy an almost instant relief that lasts throughout the day or night. If you are a newer user and tend to choke on smoke, or if you are someone who prefers to eat your cannabis, this is a great strain for cooking. Medical 49 is a potent option and is not recommended for heavy use by novice users, as it can tip towards overwhelming pretty quickly.

This plant is recommended for indoor growing systems and is moderately difficult to keep healthy. The body will grow into a short, round stature with dense buds, that once flowering begins is ready to harvest in 8 to 9 weeks. Medical 49 will have a low yield but will make up for it with massive amount of CBD content.

Although it has medical in the name, this highly sedative strain isn’t just for patients looking for relief. Recreational users love Medical 49 for its flavorful smoke and easy to love high.
