Pez

Pez is an indica medical cannabis variety. It earns its name from the sweet candy-like aroma with minty undertones that it releases during harvest. Its buds exhibit a frosty appearance adorned with crystal trichomes, and they boast a light-green hue complemented by protruding orange pistils.

Derived from a blend of Afghani and Pakistani indicas, Pez typically contains THC levels ranging from 15-20%. Its effects offer a balanced combination of both sativa and indica characteristics, delivering a cerebral and physical high. Users may experience a warm and tranquil sensation as the high envelops muscles and joints, fostering creativity, focus, and increased energy—making Pez an excellent choice for creative pursuits. 

Pez thrives in drier outdoor climates but also performs well when cultivated indoors.
