Therapy Dawg Strain Overview
Therapy Dawg is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular indica-dominant hybrid OG Kush with the sativa-dominant hybrid Chemdawg. This genetic combination creates a balanced hybrid that has gained attention for its potential therapeutic applications and well-rounded effects. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to combine the reliable, calming properties of OG Kush with the cerebral, uplifting qualities of Chemdawg, resulting in a versatile cultivar suitable for various times of day.
Visually, Therapy Dawg plants produce dense, resinous buds with a classic cannabis structure. The flowers typically display deep green coloration with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler growing conditions. Bright orange pistils weave through the buds, and a generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The buds are often medium to large in size with a compact structure that reflects its indica heritage.
The strain's name suggests potential therapeutic applications, though users should consult medical professionals for actual medical advice. Therapy Dawg has developed a reputation among cannabis enthusiasts for providing balanced effects that may help with various concerns while maintaining functionality. Its popularity has grown steadily in both medical and recreational markets due to its reliable performance and versatile effects profile.
