Russian Assassin, also known as Russian Assassin OG, is an indica-dominant hybrid that crosses Skywalker, Lemon OG Kush, and Headband. The resulting buds are large, chunky, and covered in trichomes with dark red pistils throughout. Russian Assassin’s piney fragrance shifts to a minty flavor on exhale and produces a rush of tingly cerebral activity that is felt immediately before giving way to a powerful, relaxing body buzz.

I have this flower as CBD. It’s a heavy indica and is potent in flavor. It’s perfect to smoke right before going to sleep.

No sneaking up on you with this baby. Instantaneous mind melt. Rushes of confusion and thought lock. Once again an Indica strain providing strong sedation effects relieving body fatigue and pain. Super potent flavors tasting like a chemical pine sol mixed with skunky aftertaste. I personally didn't get any mint tastes or aromas, but the flavors I did taste were great and strong. pain remedy cerebral activator hunger inducing slumber monster POWERFUL

My first time having this strain i like so far

One of the hardest and most potent hitters I've ever had the pleasure to try. Only had it once, Bought a quarter. It smelled literally like THC, or maybe like a really stronger platinum OG smell, like just pure THC smelling, it was extremely dense and sticky while also having a ''fluff'' look to it, and the trichomes gave the buds an aura of grey/extremely whte/milkyness , while the leaf color wasn't really exposed but you can faintly see it underneath being a nice light evergreen green color the same as when evergreens have their white pollen on their green needles. Hope I can find this strain one day in my life again... In my top 3 forsure!
