ChemDawg is one of those strains that acquired world fame due to her quintessential aroma, flavor, invigoration cerebral effects, and of course her proven efficiency with offering relief on a broad scale of physical and mental discomforts.While the exact origin of the cannabis strain remains unclear and subject to controversy, we do know that it started with a grower called Joe Brand aka Wonkanobe and his friend Pbud, who happened to be touring with the Grateful Dead in 1991.
They brought along a pound of weed which they called “Dog Bud’ since it was so powerful it made you roll over like a dog. Among the entourage, they called it Chemweed, because of its strong, fuel-like chemical odor.
They sold some of this weed to a young grower who instantly fell in love with it and kept coming back for more.
They decided to combine the names "Dog Bud" and Chemweed "into Chemdog, which also became the nickname of their new friend.
The trio kept in touch after the Grateful Dead tour had ended and Wonkanobe and Pbud sent Chemdog two more ounces of the original "Dog Bud". The bag contained thirteen seeds, and that was the start of the ChemDawg dynasty.
This ChemDawg strain would eventually become the basis of all Chem weed strains such as OG Kush strains and even Diesel strains, including our HeroDawg and our ChemDawg F4 Regular.
