Sativa-dominant 3 Kings (sativa/indica ratio of about 70:30) gets its name not from the 1999 movie or even the three wise men of the Bible but from its parentage: a combination of Headband, Sour Diesel, and OG Kush, each among the most popular marijuana strains in the world.
The effects, mostly cerebral, reflect this strain's sativa genes, inducing a focused, energetic feeling perfect for daytime activities together with a relaxed, happy sensation.
This is ideal for treating a wide range of conditions, including cramps, depression, migraines and other headaches, inflammation, chronic pain, and insomnia. THC levels are relatively strong, topping 14% in some tests, but CBD levels are much lower, less than 1%, so 3 Kings isn't the best choice for treating seizures or other medical problems that can be alleviated by CBD. This unique strain has an earthy, hashy flavor and a pungent smell with notes of pine and soil.
The bud is bright green with brown hairs and visible trichomes. The most common side effects are probably cottonmouth and red eyes. Look for this strain on the West Coast and in Arizona.
