In this Comatose review, I’ll share my experience with a Canadian indica-dominant flower sold under the 1964 brand. It's also called Comatose OG or Organic Comatose.

It’s known as a heavy hitter, and as the name suggests, it was very relaxing for me. This is one of those strains I would reach for at the end of the night.

Its exact parentage isn't something I could confirm with a breeder, so I'm leaving lineage claims out.

  • Lineage: Not confirmed
  • Type: Indica-dominant
  • Potency: High THC with little CBD. Exact THC and terpene levels vary by grower and batch, so check your product's label.
  • Packaging Details: Packaged on 01/05/2023, tested and reviewed on 01/30/2023 (25 days later)
  • Pricing Details: Purchased 3.5 grams for $28.97 at Value Buds in January 2023 ($8.27 per gram)

Appearance: 4.5/5

Let’s start this Comatose review by looking at its physical appearance. Each nug had a thick, glistening coat of frosty trichomes, like a layer of freshly fallen snow.

The buds were very dense and compact. They were sticky to the touch and too firm to break up by hand, so I reached for my grinder.

The nugs were small to medium-sized and dark green, with burnt-orange hairs woven through them for a nice contrast.

Aroma: 4/5

As I brought the buds of Comatose OG closer to my nose, a rich and pungent aroma filled the air. A strong presence of pine mingled with tangy herbs and citrus.

Underneath, there was an earthy undertone and a subtle gas-like note. It made me eager to try the flavor.

Flavor: 4.5/5

On the first inhale, the flavor was a combination of sour citrus and sweet earth. The tangy citrus and the sweet earthiness balanced each other well.

On the exhale, subtle hints of herbs came through. The taste lingered pleasantly after each exhale.

Effects: 4.5/5

For me, Comatose OG was all about relaxation. It started with a gentle cerebral high that lifted my mood and calmed my mind.

Then the heavier, sedating body effects took hold and I sank into deep relaxation. Research on cannabis for chronic pain shows only modest benefits at best, per NCCIH, and no strain is proven to treat pain, sleep problems, anxiety or depression.

Overall: 4.5/5

Comatose is a strong, relaxing strain that left a lasting impression on me. It suits experienced adults who want a heavy evening high.

Newer users should start with a very small amount, since high-THC products are more likely to cause anxiety or panic in people with little experience, according to NIDA.

If you're dealing with pain, insomnia or depression, talk to a health care provider rather than treating it yourself with cannabis.

Legal note: This review is for adults of legal age. I bought this flower from a licensed store in Canada, where taking cannabis across the border is illegal. In the US, cannabis is still illegal under federal law for nonmedical use (Schedule I).

An April 2026 order moved only FDA-approved products and state-licensed medical marijuana to Schedule III, per the Congressional Research Service. State laws differ, so check yours.

Alternatives

If you’re looking for alternatives to the Comatose strain, here are some options to consider:

  • Jack Haze Strain: While Comatose is indica-dominant, this alternative is sativa-dominant. I recommend this strain to people who are looking for something more uplifting.
  • Mad Max Strain: If you’re not into the deeply relaxing effect of Comatose, you might like how uplifting this strain is. This makes it great if you want to be creative or productive.
