Chemdawg, officially named "Chemdog," is a hybrid marijuana strain grown and spread by the breeder Chemdog since 1991. In a Leafly interview, Chemdog relates how Chemdog came from what was thought to be Northern California bag seed, via a Colorado Grateful Dead concert. Chem 91, Chem 4, and Chem Sis are all variations on Chemdog. The original name Chemdog came from two names for the same bud "Chem" and "Dog bud." Chemdog evolved into the variation 'Chemdawg' over time and distance as other growers and breeders propagated it, with the latter name becoming more dominant. Leafly customers tell us Chemdawg effects include feeling euphoric, uplifted, and creative. Medical marijuana patients often choose Chemdawg when dealing with symptoms associated with stress, anxiety, and pain. Chemdog is a staple strain in cannabis and may be a source of powerhouse strains like Sour Diesel and OG Kush, Chemdog is known for its distinct, diesel-like aroma. Pungent and sharp, you’ll be able to smell this strain from a mile away. Cannabis newbies be warned: Chemdog tends to be very potent. Consumers can expect to have a cerebral experience, coupled with a strong heavy-bodied feeling.

Chemdawg is one of those strains you don’t forget after the first try—it hits you in the head and body at the same time, and it doesn’t hold back. The high starts with this clear, cerebral rush that makes colors feel brighter and thoughts feel sharper. I remember grabbing mine from Pull Up Deliveries, rolling up, and suddenly every beat in my playlist felt like it was made just for me. It’s got that euphoric, creative kick that makes you want to talk, think, and explore. But don’t get it twisted—Chemdawg isn’t all in your head. As soon as that mental lift sets in, the body heaviness creeps right behind it. It’s that perfect balance of feeling awake and inspired, while also grounded and wrapped up in a calming body buzz. For me, it’s been clutch on rough days when stress and anxiety are running wild. A few pulls and the tension starts fading, the pressure in my chest loosens, and pain—whether it’s from sitting too long or just life—melts into the background. Chemdawg is strong, no doubt about it, but that’s what makes it so reliable. If you want that same mix of uplifted creativity and heavy relaxation, trust me—Pull Up Deliveries will get it right to your door.

*Currently under the influence as I write this* Picked up this strain today from my local plug, he told me this strain is amazing, and he never disappoints. However, this time..this changes the game for me. Ive been smoking for 10+ years. I have Bipolar Disorder and likely some un-diagnosed ADHD. I take a hand full of pills every night just to make sure I can function “normally” the next day. If I could smoke this strain everyday (though I do love a variety) I genuinely think I could come down on some of my meds. Maybe not completely but at least at much lower doses than I am now. I came home, and commenced “the ritual”. I cleaned my bong, filled her up with some icy water, sat down and cuddled up in my fuzziest blanket, unpacked and grinded some of this BEAUTIFUL bud. It almost hurt my feelings to have to grind her apart. Packed a bowl in my bong, and took two amazing hits. Flavor was extremely pungent. I expected it to be peppery due to the smell, but whew this was pretty pungent stuff. I happen to like earthier tasting terpenes so I really didn’t mind it, just wasn’t quite expecting it. Initially, its all around relaxing. After about 15 minutes, you can feel your muscles start to relax, and anxiety start to fade. About 30 minutes in, the cerebral effect has started, very heavy eyes, and a aura-ish effect when looking at the lights. The dry mouth is pretty severe with this one, so make sure you grab a drink before consuming this strain. If you come across this, get it. It is truly wonderful. What a time to be alive. <3

Honestly been awhile since I had Chemdog and must say its a great classic potent hybrid strain. I feel instant pain relief and a great euphoric uplift with a non anxious energetic boost while feeling very calm and relaxed. It's like truly God's naturally made medicine for the People. I taste a woody pine fuel notes in the herb along with subtle citrus notes. I am amazed on how long chem strain has been around its truly an exotic. Complex earthy flavor notes. potent medicative effects even with medium tolerance. I recommend using a bong or dry herb vape for this strain also suspect to sneeze or cough because its the fire!!!
