A blend of Sour Diesel and Willie Nelson, this strain is sativa-dominant, though its exact ratio of sativa to indica is unclear. Sour Willie produces dense nugs with dark green, light green, purple, and amber coloring. It has a spicy, fruity smell with hints of fuel from its Diesel ancestry.
The taste is fresh and is also reminiscent of diesel. THC is relatively abundant in this strain, topping 17% in at least one publicly available test. But CBD is very low, less than 1%, meaning Sour Willie isn't the best choice for treating seizures or other conditions that respond to CBD. Its best medical uses include treatment for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, glaucoma and ocular pressure, fatigue, migraines, and other headaches. Despite the sativa dominance, Sour Willie produces a high that hits both the body and the mind.
Effects include a calming body buzz, an energized cerebral high, increased introspection, and greater sociability. There are few public reports of adverse effects, but watery eyes and dry mouth are usually the most common. Sour Willie can be purchased on the medical markets in Colorado and Oregon, but elsewhere it's a rare find.
