LA Woman
Overview
LA Woman is an Indica dominant hybrid strain that is a cross between LA Confidential and Mean Green. It’s a creation of renowned cannabis strain breeders DNA genetics, the company has made a dozen other potent hybrid strains. L.A Confidential has a large fan base for its high potency and delicious dank taste. THC levels are between 15%-28% which can be awfully intoxicating for new patients. This is definitely a strain to “start slow and go slow” on, especially for new users. Once you get used to the cerebral buzz, you can enjoy the vast therapeutic benefits offered by this strain.
LA Woman features long tapered leaves that have a neon green color. There are pocketfuls of white trichomes enveloping the buds that are neatly tucked around the stems. Deep brown pistils can be spotted emerging from behind and around the buds. Overall, this strain has a great bag appeal. When buying, go for nugs that are well dried and appear fresh, the smell also speaks volumes about the quality of the strain.
LA Woman has creeping effects; they crescendo from mild stimulation to deep relaxation and euphoria and later take a dip to cause sedation. The indica effects on the body are most noteworthy and will begin to set in after about 20 minutes. This will come as increasing heaviness in the limbs that will compel you to lie down on the couch. As this is progressing, you will also feel some mental stimulation and excitement. This is not the ideal time to sleep because as much as your body is relaxed, your mind may soon be in over-drive.
This is one social strain and before you know it you will find yourself giggling, laughing and talking continuously. As the effects begin to wear off, your eyelids may start feeling heavy. Hopefully, you will be able to contain feelings of excitement so that you can now retire to slumber. In a few cases, new patients have gotten panic attacks after “getting high” on this strain. It’s best to take this strain in the late afternoon or early evening to make the most of the effects.
LA Woman can help to relieve muscle cramps and aches, inflammation, migraines, nausea and vomiting among other medical conditions. New patients who are prone to panic attacks are better off trying out other strains with low THC potency. Human trials on the therapeutic benefits of cannabinoids are ongoing, but so far preliminary evidence is very promising. High THC strains (such as L.A Woman) may offer a good natural alternative for the management of chronic pain.
Like most Indicas, L.A Woman has short and dense plants that give encouraging yields (450-600g/m2). The plants mature in about 9 weeks.
