Pestilence is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the West Coast Dawg. As a product of intentional breeding, it serves as the genetic foundation for an extensive list of notable offspring, including Afterlife, Banana Peel, Born Killer, Conquest, Death Dealer, Delusional OG, Divine Apocalypse, Eskimo Pie, Famine, Hellhound, and I.E.D. The strain is suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, requiring a moderate level of grower expertise to manage its seventy-day flowering period, which ultimately results in a high yield of THC-dominant flower.

The chemical profile of Pestilence is anchored by a terpene assembly led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. These compounds define the strain’s sensory experience, creating a distinct aromatic and flavor foundation that reflects its hybrid composition. The interplay of these specific terpenes provides the sensory backdrop for the strain’s medicinal and recreational utility.

Regarding its physiological impact, Pestilence is characterized by effects that leave the user feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make the strain a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as those looking for assistance with sleep. Through its diverse and substantial lineage, Pestilence maintains a presence in modern cultivation and continues to influence the development of numerous subsequent hybrids.
