About Romulan
Romulan is an indica descended from a North American Indica crossed with White Rhino. It is a legend of British Columbia growing culture, where it spread through the province in the 1990s, and it still has a loyal following in Canada as well as in parts of the United States. Its name borrows from the alien race in Star Trek.
Romulan smells strongly of pine and damp earth, with a sweet, almost sappy finish. The buds are thick and heavy, covered in so much resin that they can look sugar-coated, with short orange hairs tucked into dark green leaves. Myrcene tends to give the earthy, musky depth, pinene supplies the forest-like sharpness, and caryophyllene adds a gentle peppery note.
People often report Romulan as relaxed, sleepy and happy, with a weighty body feel and a quiet, easygoing mood. It is widely seen as a nighttime strain, best kept for winding down on the couch. THC usually ranges from 15% to 22%, and CBD is generally below 1%.
Romulan suits people who already enjoy heavy indicas and want a well-known Canadian classic. Its body effects can be strong. Start low, go slow, and avoid planning anything demanding afterward. Use WhereLeaf to find Romulan at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
