Need some nighttime herb that’ll lift your mood, soothe pain, and help you get an excellent night’s sleep? The famous Big Bud strain might be exactly what you’re looking for. This heavily indica-dominant cross of the Afghan, Skunk #1, and Northern Lights strains won first prize at the second-ever High Times Cannabis Cup and is, unsurprisingly, best known for its colossal, chunky buds. But while those hefty nugs might be beautiful, their remarkably relaxing, pain-alleviating effects are even more appealing.

Big Bud Strain Information
Big Bud is an 85/15 indica-sativa hybrid with an average THC content of 23% to 26% and practically no CBD. This strain is a bit of a creeper, but once its effects set in, you’ll feel a heavy, couchlock-inducing body stone and a rather foggy, largely incapacitating head high. If you enjoy a large dose, you may even experience some time dilation or visual distortion, too. Chances are you’ll feel the urge to raid your pantry as your high wears on, and eventually, you’ll drift to dreamland.

Pairs With Food
Indian takeout: It’s ultra-satisfying when the munchies hit, and even better, it’s just about as comforting as Big Bud’s soothing effects.
Cheese board: A spread of crunchy crackers and tasty imported cheeses is oh-so-satisfying when the munchies hit. Add some cured meats and pickled veggies for a little extra zing.
Pot roast and veggies: Red wine-braised beef and herbaceous, garlicky root veggies make for an ultra-comforting dish that, alongside Big Bud, will soothe you straight to sleep.
Pairs With Spirits
Hard seltzer: Big Bud can be pretty incapacitating on its own, so if you’re new to the nug and wanna enjoy a drink alongside your doobie, stick with something light.
Scotch and soda: It’s a classic, relaxing, pre-bed cocktail and its sharp flavors offer a nice contrast to Big Bud’s earthy, skunky notes and sweet undertones.
Lavender honey cream: This calming, rich, herbaceous sipper is perfect for winding down your night, quite the Big Bud strain. Plus, it’ll help bring out your smoke’s floral undertones.
Where The Big Bud Strain Is Grown
Big Bud has been around since the 1980s and was originally bred in the United States. No one really knows who the strain’s original breeder was, but the version from Sensi Seeds has been super popular for some time.
