Brand X Strain Overview
The Ostipow Indica, better known as “Brand X,” is a Michigan-born heirloom strain that has been passed down the cannabis lineage for generations. Reported to be a four-way cross of Afghan #1, Hash Plant, Northern Lights #5, and an Ostipow Indica variety, the modern-day Brand X cultivar retains its distinguishable earthy pine flavor, muddled with refreshing hints of hashy mint.
Users say to expect a full-body euphoric high after a few puffs of this slightly sedating, stress-relieving cultivar. Medical cannabis patients also claim that the Brand X weed strain helps to relieve pain and promote a good night’s sleep. Tightly bound THC-encapsulated cones are decorated with amber pistils and crystallized trichomes.

Brand X Strain Effects & Common Usage
The effects of the Brand X weed strain are said to be mostly calming, although Brand X may leave some consumers feeling slightly energized.
Hungry. Linalool and THC may boost appetite.
Relaxed. Linalool, limonene, and caryophyllene may all promote feelings of relaxation.
Euphoric. THC may promote euphoria, likely by promoting the release of dopamine.
Insomnia. High levels of THC and the presence of the sedating terpene linalool may guarantee a good night’s sleep.
Pain. Limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool may have potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
Stress. The stress-relieving potential of limonene may be attributed to its influence on mood disorders such as anxiety.
Brand X Strain Dosage Recommendations
Since the Brand X strain is on the upper end of the THC spectrum at 25%-28%, it is not ideal for beginners. Experienced consumers should start with one to two puffs and assess the effects before increasing as needed.
The right dosage can vary greatly from one user to the next. If you have questions about finding the right dosage or product type for your needs, consider consulting with a medical cannabis doctor, or you can request a consultation with NuggMD’s Cannabis Concierge.
