For this review, I tried the 33 Splitter Strain, an Indica-dominant variant from True Fire & Co. It's sold as a high-THC strain.

In terms of its flavor and smell, this strain is herbal and earthy. Meanwhile, when it comes to the effects, this strain can produce intense euphoria and has sedative properties. Expect it to be relaxing, though I found it underwhelming for its listed potency.

  • Type: Indica-dominant
  • Potency: High THC, very low CBD (exact numbers vary by batch)
  • Terpene Profile: Not listed on the package
  • Packaging Details: Packaged on 12/21/2022, tested and reviewed on 01/25/2023 (35 days later)
  • Pricing Details: Purchased 3.5 grams for $34.95 at Ontario Cannabis Store ($9.99 per gram)

A note on numbers: THC and CBD percentages and terpene profiles vary by grower and batch, so treat the details here as one sample and check the label on the product you buy.

This product was bought legally in Canada, where adults can buy from retailers authorized by their province or territory. The minimum age is 19 in most provinces, 18 in Alberta and 21 in Quebec. In the US, marijuana is still a Schedule I drug under federal law outside narrow 2026 exceptions for FDA-approved and state-licensed medical products, and state laws differ.

Appearance: 4/5

It looks pretty basic with nothing special. The well-sealed packaging protects the weed from degradation. Even if it’s been a month since it was packaged, it still looked fresh. Outside the packaging, you’ll see information about the THC and CBD content, but the terpene profile is missing.

As for the bag appeal, the buds look incredible. They are dark overall with varying hues of green throughout. There are also lots of trichs, which are characterized by heavy crystallization, especially when you look closer. The bud is surrounded by lots of short orange hairs.

Aroma: 3.5/5

As I opened the packaging, the smell was muted. However, don’t be disappointed just yet. After breaking the nugs, the aroma became more apparent, although it’s still not as strong as what I have smelled in more premium strains.

The aroma is a mix of sweet and herbal. It also has spicy and earthy notes, but they are apparent only if the buds are close to your nose. Otherwise, the aroma can be quite weak but a bit gassy.

Flavor: 4/5

The flavor of the 33 Splitter Strain is comparable to its aroma. It’s quite underwhelming for experienced smokers like me. However, for newbies, the flavor can be acceptable. One way to describe it is gassy, which refers to a combination of being peppery and earthy.

I was expecting the taste to have a more herbal note, but in most cases, the sweetness is more dominant. It also has a slight fiery flavor by the time I finish exhaling. This flavor reminds me of pine and black pepper.

Effects: 4/5

With its high THC, some of you will most probably think that the effect is too strong to handle. Nonetheless, it isn’t. I had a mental block and a strong body high, although, I must admit, I felt that even in strains with lower THC. Maybe I just expected it to be punchier given the THC content.

Still, the effects are decent. Within 10 minutes of inhaling, I was euphoric. I smoked it outdoors during a camping trip, and I felt calm. It was the end of the day when I had this strain. It was deeply relaxing, but I was hoping for more.

Cannabis isn't FDA-approved to treat any condition, and NIDA notes that strong THC products make anxiety, panic and hallucinations more likely. Frequent use also raises the risk of cannabis use disorder.

Overall: 4/5

As noted in this 33 Splitter Strain review, this Indica-dominant cannabis has a high listed THC content. Even so, the effects felt weaker than other strains with similar numbers. The aroma seems muted at first but eventually releases a sweet and herbal smell. The same thing is true with its flavor.

Its effects felt gentler than the label suggests, but a high-THC product still calls for a small first dose if you're new. Experienced smokers who shop by THC percentage may find it weaker than the number states.

Alternatives

This 33 Splitter Strain review also highlights some alternatives worth considering, including the following:

  • Planet of the Grapes: With its strong terpene content, the smell of this strain is highly apparent. This is unlike the 33 Splitter, which seems weak to the nose.
  • Gorilla Glue #4: Even with a lower THC listing, I like the effects of this strain more than what I experienced with the 33 Splitter. It’s a perfect balance, setting both my mind and body at ease.
