Featured MMJ Strain: Moby Dick
A flavorful sativa-dominant hybrid strain which originated in Amsterdam, Moby Dick is a notoriously strong strain due to its high THC content. The strain’s most prevalent effects are feelings of euphoria, creative inspiration, uplifting energy, and mood elevation with increased focusing abilities. Medicinally, Moby Dick is a perfect strain for any patient suffering from the wasting effects of diseases such as cancer or AIDS, since it’s notorious for inducing hunger in everyone who uses it. It’s also a highly anxiolytic strain, with the most common reported medicinal effect of the strain being stress relief, according to reports on leafly. Moby Dick also works great for treating pain due to its high cannabinoid content.

Moby Dick was bred by Dinafem Seeds in Europe, and the strain is considered to be a perfect blend of European genetics, a cross between white widow and haze, classic Dutch genetics. This cross brings through a powerful citrus haze aroma, with undertones of sweet berry and pine from the white widow. The buds are coated in resin, a phenotype which most likely was passed down from white widow, a strain notorious for its resin coated buds.
Moby Dick grows strong with a thick stem and wide branches. The buds grow so big and heavy that often, growers have to support the branches early into the flowering stage. The flowering time is average with 60/70 days being the norm for many strains. Grown indoors or outdoors, Moby Dick is a high yielder, with many growers finding that their plants grow huge when given proper light.
Included below are three reviews of Moby Dick which MMJ patients posted on Leafly, a marijuana strain network for medical marijuana patients.
“Moby Dick is an amazing Sativa hybrid. MD contains THCV which give the high a magical psychedelic effect. The high is strong and immediate. Positive energies move through mind and body and remain for hours. However there is no jittery paranoia from the Sativa at all, just bliss. The smell is one of toffee and vanilla. The buds are big,, solid, and golden. MD test out as high as 24% THC. It the closest cannabis I have ever tasted to the famed Santa Marta Gold of the ’70s. MD is a hard to find but it a strain like no other. It is my favorite strain and I am a very experienced cannaperson.” -CaptainAhab
“Beautifully euphoric. Very uplifting. Quick-hitting, and surprisingly focused without anxiety. This was my first “true” sativa, or at least the most sativa-ish hybrid I’ve experienced. I followed up with Hash Plant, which is about equal strength-wise in the other direction (pure indica) a few hours later and wound up wishing I’d just stuck with Moby Dick. Most creative strain I’ve come across as well.” -WestAmericans
“A wonderful strain. The bud that I received was very beautiful. it was a green almost blue with many yellow glands. The smoke is smooth and slight piney taste. A great medication to de-stress and unwind. Put in a CD and kick it on the lazy boy. It Would put a grin on your face, and made me a tad bit giggly with extra medicating. Over all A great strain that can get you there.” -TwoTwenty
