Diesel



SOUR DIESEL, also known as SOUR D


Sour Diesel is part of a unique class of cannabis varieties with a particularly stimulating medicinal effect, sometimes characterized as a cross between cannabis and caffeine. These are hybrids that produce a distinct aroma of fuel and citrus. They may carry a gene from a group of cannabis landraces from Nepal, Kashmir, and eastern Pakistan that also smell strongly of fuel. To the uninitiated, Sour Diesel’s effects and their associated cautions might sound somewhat ominous.


With care and intelligent, thoughtful dosing, Sour Diesel is an excellent medical cannabis variety. In 2004, Sour Diesel was perhaps the highest-priced cannabis in the world, fetching $1,000 per ounce on Wall Street, in the days when the price of gold was under $400.



Medical Uses


Sour Diesel is an excellent choice for patients avoiding potential sedation. When well tolerated by the patient, it provides excellent daytime distraction from pain and discomfort. Sour Diesel is also effective for reducing the amount of other prescription pain medications. It can also be an excellent mood elevator for many patients. Special caution should be observed however to ensure that patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder avoid this variety, since Sour Diesel’s ability to stimulate can disorientate these patients to the point of crisis.
