Ursa Major

Ursa Major is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Ursa Major is an indica-dominant cannabis strain named after the constellation also known as the Great Bear. The strain's development history is somewhat obscure, with limited documentation about its precise origins, though it appears to have emerged in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2000s. Breeders likely created Ursa Major by crossing established indica genetics to produce a strain with potent sedative effects and distinctive flavor characteristics.

The strain typically produces dense, compact buds with a classic indica structure, featuring dark green foliage often accented by deep purple hues that develop in cooler temperatures. The flowers are usually heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and exhibit orange to rust-colored pistils. Ursa Major is noted for its pungent aroma that combines earthy, woody notes with subtle hints of citrus and pine.

Ursa Major has gained recognition primarily among indica enthusiasts seeking strong relaxation effects. While not as widely commercially available as some mainstream strains, it maintains a dedicated following in certain regional markets, particularly in areas where its sedative properties are valued for evening use. The strain's name references both its powerful effects and the celestial theme common in cannabis nomenclature.
