About Monkey Paw

Monkey Paw is a sativa-dominant hybrid hailing from the scrappy and inventive old school of cannabis breeding. Supposedly created in Michigan, this bud is a cross between three landrace strains that were among the only varieties of cannabis available in the United States in the 1960s and 70s: sativas Columbian Gold and Acapulco Gold and Grow Afghani. The product of these fabled buds is a pungently fruity flower with alert and long-lasting effects.

Monkey Paw’s flowers are only small to medium in size and cling together in tight, popcorn-like clusters. These buds have a loose, sativa-type structure, with fluffy leaves spiraling outward and loosely clinging to their central stems. In fact, Monkey Paw is said to be named for the resemblance of its flowers to a gnarled, twisted monkey’s paw. The strain’s leaves are a dark shade of olive green, although some phenotypes also show off bright patches of purple. These surprising hues are the result of anthocyanin pigments in the strain’s genetics which are activated by colder than average weather during the growing process. Finally, a blanket of cloudy white trichomes covers Monkey Paw’s buds, making them very sticky and difficult to break up without a quality grinder.
