Topanga Canyon OG

Topanga Canyon OG is flower named for a strain that AllBud titles Topanga Canyon and also knows by the OG name. AllBud says it was bred by crossing Topanga with Sweatband and rates Topanga Canyon an even 50:50 split of indica and sativa; our rundown of classic and modern hybrids profiles others in that group.

Big, fluffy buds under dark amber frost

AllBud describes big, fluffy, popcorn-style buds in forest green with darker undertones, a few orange hairs and a frosty layer of dark amber trichomes.

Orange, grapefruit and woody notes

The flavour, as AllBud puts it, is a classic sweet-and-sour woodiness with a sharp hit of orange on the exhale. The aroma is earthy and woody, topped with sour citrus notes of sweet orange and spicy grapefruit, and AllBud’s aroma tags also include pine.

A slow creep that sharpens the senses, says AllBud

AllBud says the high creeps in slowly, first lifting the mood and sharpening the senses. Its effect tags are focus, giggly, happy, relaxing and uplifting, and 30 votes on AllBud average 4.7.

Pacing a 28% to 30% THC strain

AllBud rates the strain at 28% to 30% THC, roughly triple the 10% THC level Health Canada sets as the upper end for a careful first try, which it limits to one or two puffs. Inhaled, cannabis can make itself felt within seconds, Health Canada notes, yet take until the half-hour mark to peak. Its lower-risk guidelines ask for six hours or more before driving after Topanga Canyon OG or any other cannabis.
