Kosher Dawg

Kosher Dawg is an 80% Indica / 20% Sativa hybrid bred by DNA Genetics, built from two heavy-hitting parents that each carry their own cult following. Nicknamed "Hebrew National" (and sometimes "Hebrew International"), it has earned multiple High Times Cannabis Cup wins, cementing its reputation as one of DNA Genetics' most decorated crosses.

🧬 Genetic Heritage & Lineage

Kosher Dawg comes from a cross of Kosher Kush and Stardawg (also known as JJ's Stardawg, and in some phenotypes the Guava selection of Stardawg). Kosher Kush contributes deep body-relaxing indica traits, while Stardawg brings a fuel-forward diesel character and a sharper mental lift. The result is a Type III chemovar — THC-dominant with only trace CBD (0.1–1%) — and a THC range spanning 18% to 29%, meaning potency can vary noticeably from batch to batch.

👃 Terpene Profile & Aromatics

The dominant terpene is Myrcene, the sedating, earthy compound responsible for the strain's heavy, couch-locking undertone. Supporting terpenes include:

• Caryophyllene — peppery and spicy, contributing to the body-focused pain-relieving qualities
• Limonene — a citrus brightness that lifts the otherwise heavy profile
• Humulene — earthy and subtly hoppy, reinforcing the anti-inflammatory character
• Linalool — a floral, calming note that rounds out the sedative effect

This blend produces a nose dominated by diesel and earthy pungency, layered with pine, floral, and citrus accents.

👅 Flavor Experience

On the exhale, expect the same earthy-diesel backbone from the aroma, joined by sour, spicy, and fuel-like notes. A skunky, pine-forward finish rounds things out, with citrus occasionally surfacing on certain phenotypes.

🎯 Effects & Experience

Kosher Dawg opens with a wave of euphoria and happiness, often accompanied by a burst of creative and uplifted energy before the indica-heavy genetics take hold. As the high progresses, a deeply relaxed and sleepy body stone settles in, making this a strain best reserved for when you have nowhere else to be.

🎮 Use Cases & Activities

Given its sedating trajectory, this strain is best suited for:

• Sleep & Bedtime — the myrcene- and linalool-driven body heaviness supports winding down
• Stress Relief — euphoric onset helps quiet a racing mind
• Relaxing — a go-to for evenings when you want to melt into the couch

💚 Medical & Therapeutic Potential

Users report reaching for Kosher Dawg for both mental and physical relief. On the mental side, it may help with stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and insomnia. Physically, it's associated with chronic pain relief, muscle relaxation, appetite stimulation, and anti-inflammatory support — all consistent with its caryophyllene and myrcene content.

🏆 Awards & Recognition

Kosher Dawg has been recognized as a multiple-time High Times Cannabis Cup winner, a credential that speaks to its consistency and popularity within the DNA Genetics lineup.

⚠️ Consumer Considerations

With THC reaching as high as 29% in some batches, this is a strain better suited to experienced consumers or those who titrate carefully. Its heavily sedating profile makes it a poor daytime choice — save it for nighttime wind-down.
