Rumor has it that Chemo’s beginnings stretch back to the 1970s in Canada where this heavy indica was allegedly developed to treat the side effects of chemotherapy. Another name for this strain is “UBC Chemo” in reference to the university in which Chemo is said to have been conceived. Chemo’s genetics is carried on by Jordan of the Islands, whose rendition is best known for its subtle woody aroma and potent medicinal effects perfect for patients treating nausea, appetite loss, pain, and sleeplessness.

I am currently am a student at the University of British Columbia and the school weedman was growing this strain in his dorm. First of all this is not your average indica, this is the “get yo ass to bed and eat 9 cans of ravioli” type of weed iykwim. This strain is caked in trichs and was a light purple dark green colour. Tasted a little like an og but with some sweet and vanilla notes. I highly recommend this one its 10/10 and would help with pain, nausea and insomnia
