Strain Review: Bayou by Hexo

This purple bud is #Bayou from @hexocanada. It came in just over 8%, so not my usual cannabis purchase. But the colour and smell intrigued me. • Lineage/Genetics: Purple Kush Original Breeder: Unknown Grower: Hexo

Hexo Bayou Strain Review

It’s Hexo’s version of #darkdesire. It smelled spicy with hints of berry and tasted earthy and sweet. Dominant terps are #humulene & #caryophyllene making this a great strain for pain, depression, stress and insomnia. A 2016 study showed that humulene, when combined with certain phytocannabinoids and terpenes, can be beneficial for terminating cancer cells. • The buds were pretty and a good size buuuuuut crazy dry. The effects were very subtle but relaxing, I enjoy mixing it in with some higher potency strains or when I want to feel relaxed but not super stoned. I wasn’t couch locked but in higher amounts it made me a bit sleepy. I’d say this is a great strain for sleep assistance, movies or video games. Although it’s high in humulene, which has appetite suppressing effects, this strain may bring on the munchies 🌮 #indica #kush #cannabis #420 #medicated #terps #terpenes #medicalcannabis #yyccannabis #cannabiscalgary #lifted
