- Hybrid
9 Lb Hammer strain (cultivar) is an indica-dominant hybrid composed of 80/20 indica to sativa genetics. Produced by Jinxproof Genetics as a cross of Gooberry, Jack The Ripper, and Hells Angels OG strains, this hybrid carries approximately 17%-21% THC content and a low CBG of 1%. 9 Lb Hammer, also called Nine Pound Hammer or 9 Pound Hammer, has a spicy pine, lime, and grape scent and flavor. The effects can be sleepy, relaxing, and hunger-inducing, which could help manage chronic pain, insomnia, and stress.
As the name suggests, the 9 Lb Hammer is a potent indica strain with high THC levels. The strain descends from Afghani landrace lineage and is notorious for its instant effects, which can feel like a delicious, sedating blow to the head. Coming on strong and inviting the user to breathe more deeply, this somatic high starts as a cerebral slide into full-body sedation.
Offering a piney flavor and a smooth smoking experience, 9 Lb Hammer adds a little lime to the exhale and delivers earthy tones. As the buds are broken or ground, an intense aroma is released, speaking to this indica-dominant hybrid’s Afghani lineage.
The presentation can be chunky and large for a particular sticky bud with an abundance of glittering trichomes. When the flowers are exposed to colder temperatures, they may sport purple hues produced by higher levels of anthocyanin, which is triggered by the cold. 9 Lb Hammer leaves are a mossy green with yellow and orange pistils; the buds are solid, tight, and thick, and the leaves tend to turn toward the stem.

Terpenes
Terpenes are critical for the growth and survival of a plant. Not only this, they contribute to the unique flavor of each strain.
Beta-Caryophyllene
Myrcene
Pinene
Flavonoids
Flavonoids are one of the lesser-known compounds in cannabis, and little is known about the flavonoids present in each strain because they are rarely tested. Like terpenes, flavonoids add to each strain’s flavor and fragrance profile.
Studies have shown that the major flavonoids present in all cannabis plants are cannflavins A, B, and C.

The 9 Lb Hammer marijuana strain is notorious for producing “couch lock” after a smashing start. Beginning with a cerebral blast that works to sedate the user, the breath may become deep as relaxation.
Motivation may dissipate, energy could wane, and the desire to lie still and enjoy tasty snacks makes this indica-dominant strain a seductive nighttime strain. Prepare to enjoy thoughts that float in and out gently just out of grasp, a sense of time blur, and a total indifference to pain and stress.
Medical Applications
Cannabinoids and terpenes like THC, CBN, myrcene, and linalool can help patients get to sleep.
Low doses of THC and moderate doses of CBD can modulate serotonin neurotransmission, which can help alleviate anxiety and depression.
THC is a CB1 receptor agonist which can promote the production of the hunger hormone ghrelin.
Cannabis contains several analgesics and anti-inflammatory effects that can help manage pain.
Dosing
Dosing is a very personal issue; 9 Lb Hammer’s strong effects live up to the strain’s name and should be cautiously approached by all users.
This indica-dominant strain has a “couch lock” component that will be difficult to escape, even consuming smaller doses. A limited dose may provide body sedation that will allow you to carry on with simple tasks, but motivation and energy could quickly dissipate, and a dreamy reverie may ensue.
As always, once you’ve taken a dose, you must wait it out. Take a less is more approach with this potent strain.
