Kevorkian

Kevorkian is a near legendary strain in cannabis circles with older roots than most hybrids. A fixture in the 90s, when the real Dr. Kevorkian was repeatedly on trial, message board rumors claim that Kevorkian is actually an early selection of the famous NL5 x Haze crossing from Shantibaba. Emerging in the early 90s, just before Kevorkian’s first trial, the combination of NL5 and Haze won multiple accolades and solidified itself as a lynchpin breeding partner for multiple subsequent hybrids.

Known for its potency and rarity these days, Kevorkian is said to have a buzzy and energized high that eventually gives way to a more sedate wave of physical relaxation. That suggests a relatively balanced or potentially sativa-leaning hybrid, though historic descriptions vary, and there’s always a chance that some instances of Kevorkian may have a novel ancestry. Whatever the case, this strain is rare enough that you may want to take the assist.
