Not since Dom DeLuise has a better Fatso been made (and if you get that reference, you’re either old like me or a cinephile). pHinest Cannabis released their potent indica strain just in time for us to be locked to our couches.
The Strain
Fatso, as described on Mankind Dispensary’s site:
Fatso is a uniquely potent indica strain that presents an earthy, funky and fuel-like aroma that lingers on the palate. The effects are as heavy and funky as the aroma, making it a great option for chilling out, relaxing and unwinding.

As you can see above, calling Fatso potent is an understatement. Clocking in at 45.88% total cannabinoids and 3.5% terpenes, this strain is not for the faint of heart.
The High
To describe the high that comes from Fatso, I don’t have the words. I need to borrow them from Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy when describing the strongest alcoholic drink in the galaxy, the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, “the effect of which is like having your brains smashed out with a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.” Adams also goes on to suggest, “Never drink more than two Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters unless you are a thirty-ton mega elephant with bronchial pneumonia.”
Once I took the first hit off my joint, I immediately felt the cerebral effects. It really did feel like it smacked me right in the brain. A few more hits in, and I felt my muscles begin to relax. The earthy aroma really does linger as a sweet aftertaste, reminding us all along just how potent this strain really is.
pHinest’s timing releasing Fatso couldn’t be better. Fatso is the perfect stay-at-home strain. It doesn’t give you couch-lock; it creates a symbiosis between you and the couch so that you’re not sure where you end and the couch begins. Seriously, don’t make any plans. Smoke this one in bed (or close to it) with plenty of water on hand to combat the cottonmouth. You’re not going to go very far on this.
The Verdict
pHinest Cannabis‘s Fatso is not for newbies. At least, not without a lot of supervision. With most of us confined to our homes, voluntary or not, this is the strain we need to get through our day. I highly recommend it for those struggling with anxiety, insomnia, or PTSD. I have been sleeping like a baby every night since I picked this up. Kids, don’t try this one – this one’s for the grown-ups.
This is one of the best strains I’ve ever tried. I hold a very dear place in my heart for GMO. Mixing in some Legend OG knocked it into the stratosphere. I won’t recommend any movies with this one; you won’t be awake long enough to finish it.
