First bred by Jordan of the Islands, Cactus is an indica cross between Afghani and Northern Lights and is named after its vague resemblance to the pear cactus. Cactus buds are conic with knobby formations and emit an organic earthy aroma with citrus notes. This strain is known to be an adept painkiller, providing relief to aches and sore muscles as well as spasms and anxiety. Many describe Cactus as having uplifting, energizing effects. It has become a popular staple among the connoisseurs of Seattle, and was among the first place winners in the 2012 High Times Cannabis Cup.

This is Jimmy the Weed I make chocolate milk with my flower that metabolizes in 15 to 20 minutes on an empty stomach. Love the cactus of for pain. I save up to 75% by using flower and another 37 1/2 percent on my single dosage and 60% less of my daily dosage by infusing flower into my drinks with green tea and Willeys plant based full spectrum omega-3 liquid. Here is how I make it. In a small sauce pan add enough flower for 1000mg THC(small buds, do not grind) 5 bags of decaffeinated green tea and 8oz of organic unsweetened coconut milk (not the shelf stuff but refrigerator section) steep in hot water( just below boiling) for approximately 20 minutes.remove tea bags 2-3 at a time and strain into coffee pot. Turn up to boiling for a few seconds to insure decarbonization and pour through strainer into coffee pot. Do a wash with 19ozs of 2% milk squeeze out remaining juices. Stir in chocolate syrup to taste and pour equal amounts into 4oz mason jars and top off each one with 1/2 teaspoon of Willeys omega-3 liquid. The omega-3 works by attaching to CO2 receptors and will cause THC to metabolize 3-4 times more rapidly making it much more intense and lasting longer. Hope this helps you.

Hard to find as just Cactus. The strain is such a potent amount of THC it's bound as a hybrid to be some great stuff for a medical user. Make sure you do not have some chore or even something that requires thought to do after smoking this stuff. This is a dense, dry bud that delivers euphoric tingles and slowly morphs into your vision, becoming a melted screen. Eyes are quite red from the high. It tastes like a kernel with an instant hit when finely ground.

I picked up some of this from a local dispensary and wasn't expecting much. I noticed grinding it how dense and dry the nugs were, but it resulted in beautiful kief coated bud. It tastes a little pungent then sweet, but came on so much strong with each hit. I feel euphoric, and it's hard for most indicas to hit me like this but I'm raving!!! I absolutely would recommend this to any med users with severe pain. It just melts away all of it.
