What is G13?
G13 is one of the most legendary and mysterious strains in cannabis history. According to cannabis lore, G13 was developed by the US government at the University of Mississippi in the 1960s-70s as part of a cannabis research program. A single cutting was allegedly smuggled out by a research assistant and made its way into the underground cannabis community. While the government origin story cannot be verified, G13's effects are undeniably powerful — heavy indica sedation with strong euphoria. The strain's mystique has made it a cultural icon.
