Black Series – Mike Tyson OG

What’s Mike Tyson cannabis strain all about?

Like its namesake, boxing champion Mike Tyson, Tyson is a strain with the sheer power to knock you out where you stand. Although Mike Tyson himself has taken up cannabis farming, having opened up a weed-themed resort in the Mojave Desert, this pure indica is actually the creation of Canna Clinic. And while the strain’s genetics have been kept proprietary, there’s nothing secret about Tyson’s potency. Its THC content has been measured at between 12% and 21%. Also known simply as “Tyson,” is a 100% pure indica hybrid strain that is said to be an OG Kush phenotype, although this has never been confirmed. Named for the one and only Mike Tyson, you can definitely expect a heavy hitter here that’s sure to knock you flat out.

Mike Tyson Appearance & Taste

Tyson sets itself apart with solid, medium-sized flowers. These buds tend to cling together in an elongated, almost cylindrical formation and maintain a typically indica structure, with a dense core. The small, twisting leaves are a pale shade of green and are twisted through with deep red and rust-colored pistils. Finally, a sprinkling of rust-colored trichomes coats the inner and outer surfaces of these flowers, making them very difficult to break up without a grinder.

The first whiff of these sticky flowers reveals their predominantly dank scent, redolent of damp soil. Hanging out underneath is a slightly sweet, floral aroma. Meanwhile, grinding up the buds releases the rich smell of hash and spice, perhaps suggesting descent from Afghani. When combusted in a pipe or a joint, Tyson gives off a harsh smoke that may trigger a coughing fit. This smoke tastes sweet and skunky on the exhale; it can also be very pungent, so those toking in public should take any needed precautions.

Mike Tyson Effects

An indica to its core, Tyson needs some time to warm up before hitting users with its full force. After 15 minutes or so, consumers may notice an increased blood flow to the head, accompanied by some flushing in the cheeks or a pressure around the temples and eyes. Once smokers acclimate to these sensations, they free enjoy the spectrum of disorienting effects that Tyson has to offer. For some, this bud can seriously warp their sensory perception, with possible visual and auditory distortions like an amplification of certain sounds or a flattening of depth and perspective. Some consumers also report more abstract effects like an uncanny feeling of time dilation.

To fully appreciate these immersive physical properties, set the mood with some spacey music or TV — may even an old Mike Tyson match. Besides these trippy, mind-bending qualities, tho, Tyson does not do much in the way of mental stimulation. Instead, be prepared to stretch out where you comfortably can, as the strain’s palpable body high start to set in. Waves of relaxation may relieve any points of acute muscular tension as they render any of your earlier stress or preoccupations irrelevant. Tyson is not the best choice for accomplishing a lot of work, as it’s more likely to slow down cognitive function and strip away energy and motivation. Instead, save this strain for a lazy day when you have nothing serious planned. It’s a fun way to unwind with like-minded friends and a great accompaniment to passive activities like crafting or binge-watching. Because of its almost entirely drowsy vibes, Tyson is recommended for evening or nighttime consumption.

Tyson’s sedative properties give it several applications for medical cannabis patients. It can temporarily soothe the troubling effects of stress, depression, and anxiety. It may also work against physical pain, dulling aches and pains, as well as minor inflammations like nausea and headaches. The sleepy vibes that set in on its later end can also effectively treat insomnia. Because it is not likely to bring about intense, recursive patterns of thinking, Tyson may be a good option for patients who are prone to panic or who may have a low THC tolerance.

Final Thoughts on Mike Tyson

The high hits you hard with a jab to the head almost immediately after toking that leaves you feeling euphoric yet hazy and introspective. As your mind starts to fade, your body will fall into a deep state of relaxation that lulls you into sedation and a powerful feeling of couch-lock. As the lethargy settles in to your body, you’ll feel utterly lazy, unwilling to move for anything. With these effect and its powerful 21% average THC level, OG Tyson is said to be perfect for treating conditions such as chronic stress, appetite loss, chronic pain, and insomnia. This bud has large and lumpy lime green nugs with bright orange hairs and a coating of milky golden crystal trichomes. OG Tyson has a skunky sharp flavor with an almost overwhelming tinge of pungent chemicals. The aroma is just as harsh, with overtones of spicy diesel and pungent skunk accented by a heavy dose of nose-burning chemicals.
