Peanut Butter Breath
Peanut Butter Breath is a strong hybrid cannabis strain created in Michigan around 2017 by crossing Do-Si-Dos and Mendo Breath. It has high THC levels (usually 20-26%), making it too potent for beginners. Effects start slow but build quickly — first a mood lift, then about 15 minutes later, deep body relaxation kicks in. Effects last 2-3 hours when smoked. It's best used when you have no responsibilities.
