MK Ultra

MK Ultra is an award-winning, indica-dominant hybrid strain with an excellent reputation among budtenders and cannabis users and a striking, memorable name. In 2003 MK Ultra won 1st place for Indica strains at the High Times Cannabis Cup, and was awarded 2nd place a year later.  It is widely available in cannabis stores across the country and is typically stocked by online dispensaries.

MK Ultra is an indica/sativa hybrid, created by crossing the very well-known sativa, OG Kush, with an indica strain known as G-13.

This breeding has produced a very potent hybrid strain.  MK Ultra has a powerful, unusual odor, which many users compare to burnt plastic and an odd mixture of diesel lemon.  However, the flavor of MK Ultra is less unusual, comprised of classic earthy tastes with fresh pine notes.

The name, MK Ultra, derives from the mental manipulation experiments conducted by the CIA during the 1950’s.  The reason these experiments provided inspiration for this cannabis strain is no mystery – MK Ultra is a powerful plant, renowned for being one of the heaviest indica hybrids on the shelves of your local dispensary.

MK Ultra contains up to 18% THC with CBD at a tiny 0.1%.  This THC/CBD ratio is certainly felt by its loyal users. Powerful cerebral effects quickly sedate the user.  MK Ultra is known for the hypnotic and euphoric effect it produces. MK Ultra users are marked out by their heavy, drooping eyelids.

Medical and online cannabis dispensaries are likely to stock MK Ultra as its capacity to quickly calm nerves mean that it is ideal for when fast-acting, effective medication is needed.  MK Ultra may be used to treat a wide range of painful symptoms and to calm stress and anxiety.

Dispensaries may often recommend it as helpful for treating depression as the euphoric effects are fast acting.  It may also help insomnia sufferers and stimulate appetites.
