If you’re looking for a mind-bending way to relax at the end of a long day, consider Romulan. This cannabis strain’s ability to sedate and induce euphoria make it a good choice for medical marijuana patients with pain and stress.

Romulan is an indica-dominant hybrid that’s been around since at least the 1990s. Romulan’s full genetics are unknown, however it’s thought that this cannabis strain is at least descended in part from White Rhino. Named Romulan after a race of warriors in the Star Trek series known for their warped cerebral features, Romulan the marijuana strain is said to impart powerful mind-bending effects.

Romulan sports an earthy, pungent aroma that becomes more evident once its flowers are broken apart. Cannabis consumers can expect squat flowers that are dense and covered with trichomes. With a high-THC content that’s normally in the 20th percentile, those sensitive to THC’s effects should practice caution with this marijuana strain.

Known for its powerful, almost narcotic-like high, Romulan is a force to be reckoned with—even among more experienced cannabis consumers. Expect sedation and euphoria that may leave you couch-locked in a state of hazy bliss. Because of these potent qualities, Romulan is best consumed at night or on a day when rest and relaxation is your main objective.

Medical marijuana patients consume Romulan for its powerful physical effects, which tend to be a good fit for pain that arises from muscle spasms or nerve injuries. Romulan can also be good for stress, anxiety, depression, gastrointestinal issues and nausea.
