Pestilence Strain Review – Bonza Blog
Illuminati Seeds paid homage to excellence by creating Pestilence. The breeders used Abusive OG, a direct descendant of OG Kush, to develop its offspring’s pungent aroma and soothing head to toe high. It was later balanced out by crossing West Coast Dawg which enhanced its sedating high.
Pestilence is milder compared to most THC-driven strains. However, it is long-lasting and its effects are just as effective at quieting the worrisome thoughts. Filling the empty mind are happy memories that prepare users for a stress-free night that leads to a deep slumber.
