Garlic effects are mostly calming.
Garlic potency is higher THC than average.
Garlic Bud is a classic indica strain from the 90's, bred by The Seed Bank (now known as Sensi Seeds) using Afghani genetics. Its name is only loosely tied to Garlic Bud's aroma, which smells a lot more like tangy musk and spice than anything you'd throw in your stir fry. This pungent-smelling indica expresses a duality of effects: heavy body effects that crush insomnia and pain coupled with an invigorating cerebral buzz. A 7 or 8 week flowering time is all Garlic Bud needs to reach full maturation, finishing with sizeable yields.

Garlic strain reviews(85)
Having dealt with chronic bone edema pain for 10 years, I usually go for Indica-dominant strains. My main priority is simple: mask the pain and help me fall asleep easily. (I'm skipping any comments on taste, smell, or how smooth the smoke is.)
4.5 / 10. It didn't hit me fast. I had high hopes because of the high THC percentage, but it was a disappointment. The sleep factor wasn't really there on a single session. I was only able to fall asleep easily after having 2 back-to-back.
Overall, poor performance considering the reported THC levels. Disappointing.
Picked this up from the dispo by my house. I don't usually write reviews but I do have the say for a pain relief prospective (I have Arthritis), It helps very well. I smoked and the high came on quick and I instantly felt euphoric straight to my head. I almost thought it was a sativa at first. This slowly worked its way down my neck and into my body where I'm now currently couch locked lmfao. I was relieved of the pain in my joints and lower back. I get terrible pains in my knees and elbows and this definitely helped. May cause slight anxiety in very anxious users though I am on medications for mine. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for pain relief.

Got this strain at top crop in Ontario. Looks great! Nice tight, big purple and green nugs. Quite beautiful actually, and 32%. And that's about where it ends for me. Nardly and smell and a smidgen of a pepper taste. That's it. No high for me from this one, sorry folks. Try garlic, that seems to be working for me lately. I've got a super high tolerance and usually takes 500mg of Feco to feel stoned like I did back in the day. Some OG sativa strains stillnget me, but not many.. I'm mostly a indica guy now to to ptsd and depression /anxiety and also pain. Pure garlic does the trick. But not this garlic. That's why I'm bummed. Got a zip of garlic treat at 34% and it's very nice. Makes me. Very lazy lol. Smells dank af and taste the same. Also GMO is another good one! And so it gush mints. But this crusher, allnit did was crush my nopes and dreams of getting litti titti✌️

Mediocre at best. I got a half @24.9%. It's o k nothing special and I found a seed in it.
Garlic Gas reminds of ild school skunk weed circa 1977. Afgani or skunk had a definite sulfur earthy smell and taste. Potent in every puff, coughing may occur as creeper high engages the user.
The smoke is smooth no harsh burn or even bad flavor just nice and smooth smoking experience hits hard n fast had 4 hits n wow felt it in less than 5 minutes feelings were happy urphoric body tingling had big smile just sitting there in chair while watching movies hate to admit my one embarrassingly side affect made me really super horny
Absolutely the excellent indica it brags to be! Some cough is to be expected if you take a full hit. The primary taste to me is pepper, earthy, and pungent a lite aroma of garlic.
The high is full body the effect is in my frontal lobe an melts the pain from my back completely!!
Tried this in a 1 gram cone. It was very spicey on the nose and taste. The effects were a bit euphoric, with that sense of well being. I didn't need to watch TV, read, or otherwise try to distract or entertain myself. I could actually be alone with my thoughts. Even got kind of tinkled for a bit. Garlic is definitely a strain I will grab again.
WOW. To start, this strain is PHENOMENAL! It's a Hard-hitting & Fast-acting OG type of Indica strain. The batch I got came in testing at 20.88% THC! Upon opening the Garlic you get SMACKED in the face with a PUNGENT, GARLICKY scent along with hints of GAS/SKUNK coming through. The taste however is NOT TOO GARLICKY and more of a SMOOTH DIESEL with the HINT OF GARLIC SPRINKLED IN. THE HIGH IMMEDIATELY HITS YOU IN THE HEAD & FACE AREA, QUICKLY WORKING ITS WAY DOWN TO THE BODY AND LEAVING YOU COUCH-LOCKED FOR A LONG WHILE.
I would RECOMMEND GARLIC to EXPERIENCED PAITIENTS & STONERS who are looking for a STRONG HIGH.
Off the cuff this gives a great frontal lobe high. Heavy headed but not laid out. Then it eases into very relaxed and focused.
