This indica-dominant hybrid (sativa/indica ratio of no more than 30:70) definitely takes after the actor's crazy side. The reference may already be dated, but that doesn't diminish the quality of this effective medical strain, also known as Charlie Sheen OG.
The lineage is impressive: Charlie Sheen is a cross of OG Kush, Green Crack, and Blue Dream, all famous and all very potent. That's reflected in the THC levels in this strain, more than 23% in some tests. CBD levels, on the other hand, aren't terribly high – but they're higher than average, more than 1%, making this a possible treatment option for adult patients with epilepsy. Otherwise this strain can be used effectively to treat depression, bipolar disorder, and physical fatigue. The effects are both physical and mental, with added energy, a boost of euphoria, and increased sociability.
Charlie Sheen the strain smells of cotton candy and tastes like fresh, grassy Kush; results may differ with Charlie Sheen the man. Paranoia appears to be the most common negative side effect, though dry mouth and red eyes are possible too. California, Arizona, and Washington State are the best bets for finding this effective medical choice.
