Natural Born Killer is as stimulating as the ultra-violent Stone film that shares its name, and should be underestimated just as cautiously. Some people call it “NBK” or just “Born Killer,” but whatever name it goes by, the strain is a cushy citrus Indica (75/25) that packs a sadistic sucker punch if you let it into your life. From the freight train of cerebral stimulation to the relaxing oblivion in the comedown after the kill, this strain is for those that want to forget their day (or life) for a few hours.

Bred by Illuminati Seeds from Pestilence and True OG strains, Natural Born Killer flowers in about 67 days outdoors. The plant has grape-shaped nugs that flash bright green beneath accents of orange hairs. The crystal trichomes are a light tan, almost like the color of vivid bits of sand. The earthy appearance announces the flavors within, like a smile on the face of a killer.

The strain smells of the spicy outdoors, with tones of the open woods and the soft earth. The citrus-kush flavors mix with the piney scents to create a sour, intensely herbal finish. This intensity carries over to a cerebrally stimulating high, strong enough to be mistaken as a physical effect for some users. If you want to smoke-and-go with a strain that gets you high in a hurry, Natural Born Killer gets the job done.

Stimulated, tingling, and drifting into a relaxing oblivion, Natural Born Killer users feel a sense of clarity and creativity. They feel motivated to conquer the world and expand, to reach new heights of focus and productivity. At the same time, the strain encourages several useful medicinal effects.

Users suffering from PTSD or chronic stress can use Natural Born Killer as a comedown from their mentally strained lives. The high is cerebral enough to send you places, while encouraging creativity and motivation, a greater sense of “moving on,” that’s key to treating PTSD on a day-to-day basis. Mood swings, headaches, and migraines also cower before the manly brutality of the sweet-earth smile that Natural Born Killers forces into your vulnerable brain. Even if you just have trouble surviving normal weeks, you can use this muscular strain to purge your throbbing head, replacing stressful noise with peaceful oblivion.

Pain and depression can also fade away from view on a Natural Born Killer high. With a mid-range THC level of around 19% (certainly nothing to sneeze at), this kushy citrus definitely has its selling points. If your head is so noisy and stressed that you feel like killing off some brain cells, this is the strain for you.
