One of the few cannabis strains with a high THCV content, Doug’s Varin remains elusive, but you’re most likely to find it in the San Francisco Bay Area, where it was first created. This marijuana strain may help suppress appetite and reduce tremors.

The genetics of Doug’s Varin remain unknown, as the original breeder hasn’t come forward to share the lineage. While its background is a mystery, Doug’s Varin’s most notable trait is that it boasts an unprecedented 6:7 THC to THCV ratio. According to tests from Steep Hill Labs in Berkeley, CA, Doug’s Varin’s THC content can range from 19–21% and 15–24% THCV.

After the first whiff of Doug’s Varin and you’ll notice an earthy, pine aroma with sweet citrus notes. These hints of citrus carry over to the flavor, which is lemony with a woody aftertaste. This marijuana strain’s flowers are neon green with gold hairs and crystal trichomes.

Cannabis consumers can expect clear-headed, cerebral effects that provide a quick burst of energy. A great wake and bake marijuana strain, Doug’s Varin encourages focus and mental stimulation. Even though these effects take effect immediately, they don’t last long making it a good option for newbies.

Medical marijuana patients suffering from panic attacks, stress, fatigue and PTSD may benefit from Doug’s Varin. The high THCV content may be helpful in alleviating convulsions, making Doug’s Varin a good choice for patients with Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy.

Additionally, recent research suggests that THCV can help diabetes patients manage their blood sugar. Since THCV holds much therapeutic potential, Doug’s Varin is likely the first of many high THCV marijuana strains to come.
