Medicine Man is an indica dominant strain with an 80:20 indica/sativa ratio.
The strain has grown immensely popular because of its THC content which exceeds 23%. Keeping this in mind, the faint of heart are advised to stay away from the strain as it is strong and has an incredible punch to go along with it. The strain was formerly introduced as White Rhino, but then was later named Medicine Man due to its affects which are exceedingly overwhelming. It is a cross between Afghanistan landrace indica and a descendant of the Widow family. Looking at the strain, you will come to realize it looks exactly like a Christmas tree.
The buds are quite dense with solid red and yellow hairs. The strain is known for its strong sedating effects, it will overpower you as soon as you smoke it.
This is one of the reasons why it is not recommended to new cannabis users. Medicine Man will make you feel more focused but then again its body numb can make you feel lazy. However, you have to keep in mind the strain does have its drawbacks like dry mouth and eyes.
Additionally, some patients may even get headaches or feel paranoid. On the other hand, it is still used to treat a variety of different medical conditions including pains, aches and even migraines.
