Painkiller XL

We present to you: Painkiller XL. The new strain combines two popular parents. And those are Juanita la Lagrimosa (Spanish for "Juanita With The Tears") and Royal Highness. These in turn are genetic hybrids of other leading strains. Juanita la Lagrimosa, for instance, is descended from Queen Mother and a Mexican-Afghan combo. Royal Highness, on the other hand, is descended from Dance Hall and Respect 13. In doing so, each variety has its own unique aroma, taste, colour, cannabinoid profile and medicinal benefits.

Painkiller XL is notorious for its nearly balanced ratio of 9% THC and 9% CBD, achieved with a seed that is 75% sativa and 25% indica. The sativa variety of cannabis is widely known for its mental, cerebral high. Indica, on the other hand, has the reputation of inducing a more physical high. Yet other, more important factors also play a role.

THC is the compound that has the biggest share in the mental high. CBD, on the other hand, is responsible for the lion's share of cannabis' numerous proven medical benefits. These range from relieving minor ailments to alleviating serious illnesses. Think pain, anxiety, migraines, fibromyalgia, AIDS, diabetes, epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. And these are just a few of the dozens of conditions in which doctors prescribe cannabis.
