With THC levels that have tested at greater than 19%, Sugar Mama is a potent near-pure indica hybrid created by crossing Big Bud with Blueberry, both strong indica-dominant hybrids. CBD levels are very low, making Sugar Mama a poor choice for seizure disorders and other conditions that respond to that cannabinoid. But this strain is recommended for use in treating nausea, migraines, anxiety, depression, muscle spasms, pain, and insomnia.
The exact ratio of indica to sativa is unclear, but the indica genes are clearly dominant. The effect is focused almost exclusively on the body, with a boost of euphoria and deep physical relaxation. Sugar Mama encourages creativity while creating a powerful sedating sensation. Dizziness is occasionally reported, though other side effects are less common.
This strain is best reserved for late at night or for days with limited obligations.
True to its name, Sugar Mama has a sweet, skunky maple syrup flavor with hints of grapefruit and diesel, and a pungent hashy smell. This local specialty is found almost exclusively on the medical market in Las Vegas. It may be cultivated elsewhere, but it definitely isn't popular.
