aka Optimus Prime, 3 Times Crazy, Three Times Crazy, Insane

is a three-way cross of OG Kush, Bubba Kush, and Granddaddy Purple. This strain is said to carry an aroma of grapes and pepper with earthy undertones.

3X Crazy is a Sativa-dominant potent strain with 19% THC and 0.3% CBD. Its main parent is Purple Urkle. When grown, the buds are dark green, with thin pistils of an orange shade. The large, beautiful flowers can easily catch your attention, given the combination of mossy green and vivid orange.

At any rate, 3X Crazy did come from a prominent line of strains. OG Kush, as everyone knows, has been around for ages. It is also notable for its ability to melt away stress.

As potent as OG Kush is, it is nothing compared to Bubba Kush. It does not only handle stress the way OG Kush can; it does so with its sedating traits that often leaves users in a couch-lock.

Finally, the third strain Granddaddy Purple also share the same Indica traits as OG Kush, but it also complements the physical effects with an invigorating head high.

As a result of crossing the three strains mentioned above, 3X Crazy came to be. Its name aptly refers to its parent strains and letting loose with its use.

Effects

3x Crazy cannabis strain’s high starts by mildly uplifting you and growing your energy, with a hazy overtone that can make you distant. A warming body buzz creeps on next, leaving you hungry and totally relaxed with possible sedation at the comedown.

It also takes a while before users feel the effects of 3X Crazy. Once it does, it almost always begins with a slight pressure at the forehead. Then, there is a gradual increase in the intensity of the cerebral high that it induces.

Early on, most people should feel their head clearing. It is also likely to be followed by free thinking as well as having a sharper focus. Hence, instead of a speedy high in which random thoughts pop in and out, most people are able to stay productive. Another thing that the strain does is to uplift the spirit and bring happiness to the users.

After a while, there may be a tingling sensation from the back of the neck and down the spine. At this moment, the physical effects creep down to the body inducing deep relaxation. This ebbing sensation is soothing to the muscles, but it can also cause a little bit of disorientation. If one uses too much, then it can also lead to a couch-lock.

Aroma

Due to its Diesel heritage, one may detect a note of fuel blending in with its sweet and peppery scent with a note of grape. This exotic aroma, no doubt, should please anyone who comes close to smelling it.

Flavors

Upon combustion, the strain releases a mild hint of skunk. It has a sweet and spicy taste that helps make it smooth and easy on the throat as well as the lungs. Best of all, it has the almost fruity taste of berry and grape.

Adverse Reactions

Besides the usual dry mouth and eyes, there are also other conditions associated with the use of 3X Crazy. Some people may feel dizzy while others may experience mild paranoia.

In general, any of these adverse effects, should they occur, are often mild. However, it really depends on conditioning as well as how much was used.

Medical

Strain Cannabinoids

• THC: 17 – 21%
• CBD: 0.29 – 0.46%
• CBC: 0.19 – 0.87%
• CBG: 0.19 – 2.24%
• CBN: 0.08 – 0.16%
• THCV: 0.47 – 1.25%

Despite not having much of CBD to boast of, it is the psychoactive properties of the strain that has the most benefit to medical cannabis users.

3x Crazy may have several applications for medical cannabis patients as well. Although short-lived, its cerebral effects can help those with attention deficit disorders to sustain some concentration. Meanwhile, its numbing indica effects can relieve aches and pains, whether they’re temporary or chronic and nerve-related. The bud’s mood-elevating properties can also take the edge off of mild to moderate cases of stress and depression. Finally, in large enough doses, 3x Crazy can lull insomniacs into a deep, fulfilling sleep. Because this strain’s mental effects do not commonly lead to recursive, paranoid thinking, it can be a good option for patients who are prone to panic.

Among its most notable use is in squashing stress. That is never in question especially when one looks back at its OG lineage. By uplifting and inducing a euphoric head high, even those with depression should find comfort. No longer do they have to struggle with their emotional issues as this is replaced by elation.

Another benefit of 3X Crazy is in pain relief. People with chronic illnesses often have to endure a certain degree of physical discomfort. The heavy-hitting Indica properties of the strain take care of that.

Depending on how much one uses, either a user can stand and find food or simply go on to sleep. 3X Crazy stimulates the appetite, but it also makes people drowsy. Experienced users of this strain should have no trouble balancing between the two.

Growing

Unfortunately, 3X Crazy is not available in seed form. As such, the only way to cultivate it is to obtain a clipping. At any rate, it appears to tilt towards the Indica side. The chances are that it thrives in both the indoor and outdoor environment.
