Mendo Breath Strain Review (Kyzos)
This Mendo Breath strain review breaks down this Indica-dominant hybrid cultivar produced by Great White North Growers inc under the Kizos brand. At the time, this producer was releasing a lot of strains at the SQDC.
This batch came with a high THC level on the label, an inconsiderable amount of CBD, and a whole lot of leaves and stems. Below is a more in-depth breakdown.
Terpene Profile: Myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene (as labeled on this batch)
Pricing Details: Purchased 3.5 grams for $32.20 at the SQDC in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. ($9.20/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. We could not confirm the lineage on an official breeder page, so we left it out.
This product was bought legally in Quebec, where adults 21 and older can buy from government-operated stores. 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: 1/5
Mendo Breath (Kizos)
Bag appeal was rough right from the time I cracked the seal. The container was full of little popcorn nugs with stems and leaves everywhere; it looked like it shouldn't be sold to a consumer.
The whole thing weighed 3.46 grams, and 0.13 of that was straight leaves, stems, and shake. I didn't check the moisture percentage this time, but it felt too wet.
Milling it by hand was almost impossible, and putting it in the grinder felt like an upper-body workout.
Aroma: 2/5
Mendo Breath (Kizos)
It's rare that appearance gets the worst score. The aroma was strong, but it wasn't my favorite profile. "Meat" lovers would enjoy this: it has a pungent meat, garlic and cheese smell that spread through my living room instantly!

Other Mendo Breath reviews mention sugary sweet, vanilla, and even caramel aromas. I didn't get any of that from this batch.
Flavor: 1.5/5
Mendo Breath (Kizos)
I got skunky, cheesy notes on the inhale and a wet-towel taste on the exhale, which wasn't pleasant for me. The smoke was harsh, and it felt like this wasn't cured right.
Effects: 2/5
This is a brain-fog, couch-glue, ready-to-crash type of cultivar. Don't use it before anything that needs mental or physical effort, and never before driving. I couldn't focus on anything after smoking this.
NIDA notes that cannabis can impair thinking, memory and body movement, so plan to stay put.
I recommend you check out Subway Scientist, which I found better in terms of effects and a bit cheaper.
Overall: 1.5/5
Mendo Breath (Kizos)
This was not a good experience. In my opinion, this batch should have gone into a concentrate instead of being sold as flower. I wouldn't recommend it, similar to Strawberry Twist, because both were poor in quality and value for money.
I had a much better experience with Mendo Punch, which is often described as a Mendo Breath cross.
