Also known as Recon OG or ReCon, the Recon strain is a heavily indica-dominant hybrid of the iconic and powerful LA Confidential and mellow Cannadential strains. An excellent evening smoke for any indica lover, this soothing, smile-inducing, socially lubricating strain will quickly float you up to cloud nine, help you unwind, and, eventually, relax you right to sleep.

Recon Strain Information
Recon is an 80/20 Indica-Sativa hybrid that clocks in at roughly 22% THC on average (it can get as high as 35%) and about 1% CBD. For an indica, this strain hits surprisingly fast, delivering a tension-melting, almost numbing sensation that’ll slowly travel from your head and neck throughout the rest of your physical form.
As your high builds, you might notice some trippy sensory distortions, which may make music or a visually engaging movie all the more engrossing. Given this strain’s rather disorienting and super relaxing effects, it’s ideal for laid-back social gatherings at home or solo relaxation time on the couch. Just don’t count on getting much done after you partake because your tush will likely be glued to your couch for hours.

Recon Strain Pairings
Enigma — “Endless Quest”: Play this atmospheric track after the trippy part of your high sets in, and just let your mind go along for the ride.
Deerhunter — “Living My Life”: Enjoy this wistful, dream-pop number while you’re chillin’ on the couch or chatting with friends — it’s excellent background music for just about any occasion.
Ariel Pink — “Feels Like Heaven”: After a few tokes of Recon, you’ll feel just like the title of this indie-rock song, so why not bop along to it?
Lasagna: If you’re in the mood for some comfort food after a dose of the relaxing Recon strain, this dish should satisfy even the gnarliest case of the munchies.
Mushroom and wild rice soup: This creamy, ultra-flavorful soup pairs wonderfully with Recon’s primary terpene, myrcene.
Open-faced prosciutto and egg sandwich on sourdough: A little cured meat and a fried egg atop some peppery arugula and homemade mayo make for a tasty meal at any time of day.
Mulled wine: It’s comforting, a little citrusy, and full of flavor, quite like the Recon strain.
Spicy tomato gin and tonic: This spicy, citrusy, herbaceous, salty, and ultra-refreshing cocktail pairs beautifully with Recon’s flavors and laid-back vibe.
Mojito: Sip on this if you wanna double up on Recon’s minty goodness and up your energy level a bit when your high tries to drag it down.
