About this strain

What Chemo is

Chemo is a legendary pure Indica, developed in the 1970s at the University of British Columbia to help chemotherapy patients combat nausea and pain. This strain’s earthy, woody scent mirrors its powerful sedative effects – often so heavy that even a trip to the fridge can feel like a marathon. Not for the faint of heart or lower-tolerance users, Chemo’s massive potency ensures deep, restful sleep and relief for both body and mind.
