Not to mention, this strain comes with a very delightful aroma.
Beyond its appearance, it is also very potent strain.
Information about Barbara Bud marijuana strain:
A big part of its success and acceptance among cannabis users is its lineage.
The House of the Great Gardener (H.O.T.G.G.) used an unusual hybrid and crossed it with a carefully selected landrace strain.
First, they picked an Afghani Indica. As many knows, pure breeds from the region near Pakistan is among the best worldwide.
Then, they used it with an Indica-dominant hybrid Shishkaberry.
Barbara Bud, as a result, retains most of her Indica heritage.
Furthermore, it also inherited other traits including its scent and high potency.
H.O.T.G.G. has another strained which they named after their cannabis eating cat Digweed.
Hence, it should not come a surprise that this strain also took its name from someone or something.
As it turns out, it appears to be named after a former CBC Radio One’s host, Barbara Budd.
Whether the Canadian host/actress uses cannabis or not is unclear, of course.
Nonetheless, the strain itself does not need any association with a celebrity to achieve fame.
On its own, it has already won or placed high in many awards.

Soon, the physical effects of Barbara Bud work its way to the body. Gradually, users start to feel their muscles relaxing. As mentioned, this is a highly potent strain. It does not take long before the ebbing buzz leads to a full-body relaxation.
Even when used in moderation, many of its users tend to feel lazy and reluctant to move. But use a little more than one can tolerate, then it is likely going to cause a couch-lock.
By all accounts, it does not induce psychedelic effects or mental confusion. While most people tend to have a sharp mind, the heavy-hitting body high may cause some people to go into deep introspection.
Fragrance
One of the traits that Barbara Bud inherited was having a pleasant odor, an influence of Shishkaberry no doubt. It has an earthy scent that comes with a strong note of citrus and a sweet fruity smell.
Flavors
The same odor it emits is also very evident in its flavors. The fruity taste is also a more distinguishable blend of mango and bubblegum. Smooth on the throat, easy on the lungs, and more significant, Barbara Bud is deemed as delightful by most users.
Adverse Reaction
So far, everything about the strain has been all about its positives. Being cannabis, it does come with adverse reactions such as dry mouth and eyes.
Before anyone decides to downplay its possible adverse effects, it is best to understand that this strain is not easy to handle. That is because it can cause people to feel anxious or have a headache. In most other strains, such conditions are a result of using too much. But in the case of Barbara Bud, it can occur when using within limits. As such, it is not the best strain for beginners to start with. Also, people who are predisposed to anxiety should avoid using it.
Finally, during the ebbing body buzz, it is possible that a few people may experience mild dizziness.
Medical
Unlike its sister strain Digweed (also bred by H.O.T.G.G.), Barbara Bud has a low CBD level. Still, it does offer more than a few benefits to medical cannabis users.

By uplifting the spirit and causing users to feel happy or even euphoric, it helps by eliminating stress. Once in full-body relaxation, it also helps as a pain reliever but only for mild cases.
