My staple strain. Very consistent, strong, long lasting effects. Uplifting and energising with a little bit, major laziness/couch lock with more. Great for my aches and pains, anxiety and insomnia and also causes serious munchies. Great all round medical benefits. Dangerously stinky for those of us who live where its still illegal, flavour is equally intense. If you like indica's and aren't satisfied with this strain it wasn't grown to its full potential
Good taste and good high :)

Love it
this weed was the shisnittlebam snip snap snack
Good strain, I mixed it with Mandala1 and Super Silver Haze for recreational experience.
As for the name of this strain it does not stands for government or anything like this like some people think, it has astrotheological background, most likely it means "Great 13"- sun and 12 month of the year or Jesus and his 12 disciples in christian religion.
Ps. Please use cannabis with caution for medical or recreational use only and never use it as a drug. Peace.
I found G13 to be a rather mild indica without a lot of overwhelming effects. (There are so many sub-strains sold as G13 that I can't guarantee allare like this one though). I'm not a connesour of colors or tastes, but the buds were large and very loose with moderate odor, not easy to identify, and bright redish.
I pulled it from my collection of samples, looking for something that would be relaxing, interesting, and above all let me get some sleep after a frustrating day. Most super-strong strains, even indicas, make me wired and sleepless or suppress REM sleep, which really messes me up the next day or two. My msin goal in experimenting with cannabis is spiritual, and identifying strains for friends who need compatible MMJ advice. So I need to be able to sense myself as clearly as the effects of the herb. So far the LSD/Trainwreck type strains with their giddy euphoria, psychedelic light shows, tinnitus, and electric tingles seem to be a step in the wrong direction for me, so it was ttime to try something new.
G13 did pretty much what I wanted. I use a Solo vape on a cool (154C) setting and take small puffs over an hour or so, focusing on the onset, setting an intention, alternating inhales with shamanic drumming. Instead of the usual buzzing euphoria followed by stony or wired eneergy, there was pleasant relaxation, a quiet (but not stone-slow) mind, and room for me too. What a difference! Soon my familiar spiritual allies gathered instead of fleeing the bedlam, and a new one,joined them, clearly the one I'd needed to talk to. I asked for what I needed from this night, and it happened beyond expectations. A real breakthrough, finally!
I always test a new strain for enhancement of sexual experience (since my first eye-opening experiences with Alien OG). I was clear-minded enough to try a few tantric exercises, and even though I have been studying for only a few days, I was able to have stacking multiple male orgasms as if I'd been practicing for months. This indica seems to resonate with tantra for some reason. Certainly it does seem to make a fine spiritual teacher, and for me what is experienced with the aid of cannabis is more easily reproduced using more "orthodox" means (meditation, drumming, breathwork, ecstatic dance, etc).
And when it was over and time to sleep, another dozen inhales had me relaxing into a moderate bed-locking effect, and I fell asleep rather than passed out. Much better, and only the slighted fogginess when I got up, only 8 hours after my first puff. Just what I was looking for! I will continue searching for even better strains in this direction.
Researching later, there is indeed a strong historical connection between indica landraces and tantra, While use of cannabis for meditation became regarded as "cheating" by later generations of gurus, cannabis was historically used as a spiritual herb at the same time as the development of tantric philosophies, and texts of that era make it clear that cannabis (by smoking or drinking bhang, a milk-based edible) was an integral part of education and ceremony, as it is even today in the Nepal/Ganges region. Perhaps some indicas were domesticated for exactly this purpose, as out present wealth of powerful strains were developed in the past 50 years.
Don't know if it was the vaporizer that made it last as long as it did, but this was one of the greatest smoking sessions I have ever partaken in. STRONG BUZZ (Emphasis on the Strong). If you're a socially awkward person, good luck with smoking this.
The most well rounded strain I've ever experienced, through all modalities. This sits in my top three of all time. I use cannabis as 7/10 medicinal for chronic insomnia and depression (which have been tapered to nonexistent), and 3/10 recreationally. So I tend to love those strains that will help me sleep but keeps engaged as long as I'm trying to be. And G-13 just is top tier on all accounts.
