Mimosa Cannabis Strain Review

Mimosa Strain: An Introduction

Naming this cannabis strain was easy, as it smells and tastes like a mimosa! A Sativa-dominant hybrid strain (70% sativa / 30% indica), Mimosa weed boasts an impressive 21% average THC, with the range being anywhere between 17-21%.  Like most THC strains, the CBD count is quite low at 0.1% on average.
