Chemdawg, originally known as "Chemdog," is a hybrid marijuana strain cultivated and popularized by the breeder Chemdog since 1991. According to Chemdog's account in a Leafly interview, the strain originated from what was believed to be bag seed sourced from Northern California, passed around at a Grateful Dead concert in Colorado. Variations such as Chem 91, Chem 4, and Chem Sis have emerged from the original Chemdog lineage.The name "Chemdog" is derived from two nicknames for the same bud: "Chem" and "Dog bud." Over time and with propagation by other growers and breeders, the variation 'Chemdawg' became more prevalent. Customers on Leafly report that Chemdawg induces feelings of euphoria, upliftment, and creativity. Medical marijuana patients often turn to Chemdawg to alleviate symptoms associated with stress, anxiety, and pain.A staple in the cannabis community, Chemdog has contributed to the creation of powerhouse strains like Sour Diesel and OG Kush. Known for its unmistakable, diesel-like aroma, Chemdog's scent is pungent and sharp, easily identifiable from a distance. However, novice consumers should exercise caution as Chemdog tends to be exceptionally potent, offering a cerebral experience coupled with a strong, heavy-bodied sensation.
