Nebula Strain
Nebula is an enormously popular strain of marijuana that will be familiar to all cannabis consumers. It is an award-winning hybrid that is sometimes referred to as Starcloud, first bred by Paradise Seeds in 1996 (Called “Starcloud” because it seems to twinkle with THC). It is a well-balanced 60% Indica dominant strain and a cross between US Haze and Master Widow. It affects the body and mind equally and people consistently report feelings of euphoria, happiness, and stimulation. The effects of Nebula seem to vary wildly person to person, as it makes some people calm and meditative and others engaged, stimulated and active. It is one of those strains that seems to affect everyone differently and has a number of side effects, including paranoia and dizziness. Nebula has won many awards, including 3rd place in the Sativa category at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1999 and 2nd place in 2005. It also took 3rd place at the Highlife Cup in 2004 in the Hydro category and 1st place at the Copa La Bella Flor Spain in 2005. For an Indica dominant strain, it does seem to have more Sativa than Indica effects, though some do report that it puts them in a meditative mindset and induces sleep. Nebula is many users favorite strain of all time. THC content is moderate, between 16-19%.
