One of my top favourite strains! It's been used a lot for cancer patients, and although I'm not one myself, I was blessed enough to receive 1/2oz, but was never able to get anymore after that. This strain is known as an indica, and oh boy does it wear it's title proudly. If you plan to do anything in the evening, I suggest not doing so. UBC is potent and will leave even veterans flat on their ass. The sheer couchlock you receive gives you the impression of a gravitational change. It's heavily euphoric too, leaving you looking spooked and confused while retaining that uplifted feeling. The muscle relaxing and pain reliving aspects to this strain shouldn't be taken lightly. If you haven't slept in awhile, here's your one way ticket to the ends of the universe and back. If you are able to escape the grasps of an instant KO, have some visine or eye drops around because you're eyes will be redder than the devil's dick. I hope to find more one day, it's difficult in my province to get strains you want, but they still have a variety of choices. Anyways, that's the UBC Chemo experience!
Strain features:
- I didn't really know what colour the leaves where since the nugs where triple battered in trichomes. At this point in my reviews, I think the amount of kief that has been mentioned that slather each strain doesn't compare to UBC Chemo.
- This strain has a lot of foxtails as well, and give the strain a really cool shimmer
- If you use your hands to crush or pick up this strain, make sure to check your fingers for thc, because the nugs are heavily coated, like a Winnipeg or Minnesota winter
Smell:
- Cheese, yes cheese
- Earthy, piney, did I mention cheese? Subtle kushy tones as well, but I forgot to mention cheese.
Taste:
- piney, and kushy, not so cheesy like the smell, but some sort of really really subtle hazelnutty/spicy taste
Another indica for insomniacs, but I can also see this used by people with intense bodily pains and aches. This strain shows no mercy to the fridge as well. YOU WILl EAT whether you like it or not.
I'm glad that cancer patients have some variety in their strains, UBC Chemo has a lot of medical properties, but can easily be a recreational strain for those seeking the stoned vibe.
As a medicinal user for chronic back pain, I can say this is truly exceptional. One joint, and I can say that it worked quite well for my pain, and fucked me right up. The roach was thick and black, which says alot as all I have on hand are heavy Embassy papers.
This I could also see being a very good strain for people smoking to encourage appetite, as I am instantly hungry, and I just ate not too long ago.
Easy to smoke, and leaves a heavy exhale. The bud is quite pungent, and easy to handle. If I had the extra digits, I would give this four thumbs up.

Amazing “before bed smoke”. Relaxes all my muscles, clears my mind from stress and just puts me right to sleep. I don’t consider this one a social strain. I don’t feel creative or curious or chatty – I just want to sleep. No giggles, and if I try to watch a movie or read, my attention span is short as I just want to nod off. Hasn’t given me the munchies, but I usually smoke and go right to bed. Be interesting to try it during the day, but it’s such a great sleep/relaxation/bedtime strain, I think I’ll just keep it at that. I’m someone who tends to let stress of work eat at my head – Chemo makes those bothersome thoughts go away. Great for getting rest and relaxing. Highly recommend. Great body effects – makes me feel light – like a big gigantic sigh of relief. A must-have from now on.

This Chemo is what I consider "Top Rate" Smoking it really let you forget your pains and great for getting to sleep & believe me I have a BAD sleep disorder! I use this strain to make tinctures. This makes the best tincture of any strain I have tried! Chemo tincture takes away my anxiety in only a couple of mins not to mention eliminates pain really really well! I have been in pain for close to 20 years, bad pain! Use this to make a tincture, you won't be disappointing! :)
Im sorry guys, like old school hashplant and original blueberry, the genetics for this strain died out almost two decades ago. Im from BC, born and raised, the son of a grower, been in the business myself for decades, not really a pro, though I did it for a living more than once, but certainly not like some of these guys. That being said, I was there, I remember, its not second hand for me. Some context, other than south western BC everyone in Canada smoked hash, or if they were really unlucky mexican dirt weed, pray it didnt have peroquat on it (before my day). Out east the drugs were run by the actual mob, yes we had it in Canada too, the most prominent being the Montreal mafia, part of the regular mob, again im no expert on that I just know gold seal black hash was brought into the rest of Canada by the ton in the 70's and 80's. There was no gold coin, contrary to popular myth, some bricks were labeled shit like the shahs reserve and that might have had gold leaf on it..hard to remember. Im fairly sure the good stuff had ipium in it because Ive never been as fucked up falling over dundee from weed product than I have with this shit. But heres where it gets historical, after the Seattle KingDome was built, it was the first indoor football stadium and they needed lights that would mimic the sun so the old TV cameras would work properly. Combine that with comparatively lax drug laws a few minutes north across the border, a mild climate, cheap hydro, an established horticulter and indoor/greenhouse farming tech center, northern deepwater ports close to the largest drug market on the planet, draft dodgers and the hippy movement and along with that the green movement (greenpeace was formed in BC) and many strong ties to the Netherlands, made it the perfect recipe for a burgeoning marijuana industry. Which, coincidentally are some* of the reasons UBC was used and not more established eastern Universities to grow this experimental strain. So, long story not very short, we didnt need to import hash, we had, even by the eighties, stopped all importation of all significant amounts of marijuana the strains were so good, so varied, that by the early 90's when i started smoking, and before the massive commercial ops ruined the scene here for so long, i smoked bar none, even compared to todays so called super weed at mid 20's to 30% was not as potent, or as flavorful. Hashplant was called that because it literally tasted like hash, not because it was a strain used for making hash. original blueberry stank, i had a single plant in a 40 light room of Jamaican sugar and all i could smell is fricken blueberry...anyways I digress, i have not tasted OG chemo in 20 years, or anything like it, as far as i can tell its gone, same as hashplant.

pungent, piney, earthy with hints of fruit. born and raised in the heart of BC this strain is a very hard hitter. Full tingly body buzz that lulls you to sleep. Amazing taste, amazing feel, stops nausea, induces appetite, lessens stress and pain and knocks you on your ass! 5/5 medicinal all the way. Every insomniac owes it to themselves to try this one
A must have strain. So powerful in its effects, so delicious in its taste and smell. Will knock you around and eventually out (as in nappy time) but if you like the full-bodied taste and buzz that says "Indica", this strain is for you. And me.

This is the first time I've smoked an indica this strong and I'm in love. I was smoking sativas and hybrids and it was seriously exacerbating my anxiety and ESPECIALLY my pain. This is the first time I've smoked and actually felt pain relief in my body and a calm mood!
