Chemdawg

Chemdog, originally known as 'Chemdog,' is a hybrid medical cannabis strain cultivated and popularized by breeder Chemdog since 1991. Stemming from bag seed in Northern California, it made its way through a Colorado Grateful Dead concert. Variations like Chem 91, Chem 4, and Chem Sis emerged from the original Chemdog. The name evolved into 'Chemdawg' as it spread among growers and breeders, with the latter gaining dominance. 

Users report feeling euphoric, uplifted, and creative with Chemdawg, making it a choice for managing stress, anxiety, and pain. A cannabis mainstay, Chemdog is renowned for its diesel-like scent, detectable from a distance. Novice users should beware, as Chemdog packs a potent punch, offering a cerebral experience accompanied by a robust, heavy-bodied sensation.
