Eastern European refers to any strain native to the Eastern European region. These strains are typically landraces that are indica in nature. These strains range wildly in terms of THC and CBD level, although they tend to be higher in CBD than their sister sativa strains.
Eastern European buds typically have medium to large-sized super lumpy spade-shaped nugs that range from light minty greens to deep olive greens in terms of color. These nugs feature long thin hairs that range from almost translucent ambers to bright fiery oranges. Most nugs have a fine coating of tiny crystal white trichomes and a thick sticky layer of syrupy sweet resin. Eastern European typically has a taste of sweet woody pine with a hint of earthy spice to it, and a smell of pungent wood with a spicy pine that’s released as the nugs are broken apart and burned.
This bud has a classic indica high that starts with a mildly uplifting heady effect that leaves you hazy and spacey with a sense of happiness. As your head high builds, a creeping body effect will overtake you, leaving you relaxed, sedated, and slightly couch-locked.
A very sleepy comedown with a ravenous case of the munchies is common with this bud. Because of these effects, Eastern European buds are a favorite for treating conditions such as insomnia, appetite loss, mild to moderate cases of depression, chronic pain, and inflammation.
