King Louis Strain

King Louis is a heavy indica-dominant hybrid. THC runs 20 to 28% – this is an evening strain, full stop. Named after the French monarch, it has the dense, resinous structure to back the title, with a sharp pine-and-earth aroma built around Myrcene. If you want something that genuinely slows you down after dark, start here. Browse cannabis strains to see how it fits your needs.

Effects

King Louis tends to settle in within 10 to 15 minutes. Relaxation hits the shoulders first, then moves down. The euphoria is calm – unhurried, not heady. It turns sedative. Most people end up on the couch, and then asleep. Expect two to four hours depending on your tolerance. For more potent indica options, see how it compares to OG Kush or Granddaddy Purple. You can also browse flower and prerolls to find King Louis ready to enjoy.

Negative effects

Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most commonly reported downsides. Push the dose past your comfort zone and mild dizziness can show up. Drink water. Start small.

Help with

King Louis gets reached for after hard days. The body effect is heavy enough to interrupt a busy mind – users report it makes the shift toward rest feel less like a fight. Those who struggle to transition from an active mind to sleep often reach for this cultivar as part of a nighttime routine. These are user-reported experiences, not medical claims.

Flavours

The first thing you notice is pine – sharp and resinous on the inhale. That gives way to a deeper earthiness mid-session, with faint spice on the exhale. A subtle citrus edge occasionally comes through depending on the grow and cure. It’s a classic OG flavour profile: nothing flashy, everything grounded.

Terpenes

Myrcene (Green) is the dominant terpene here, contributing the earthy, musky base that OG-family strains are known for – it also appears to amplify sedative qualities, which fits King Louis’s evening-use reputation. Caryophyllene (Red) brings a peppery spice to the flavour and may contribute a grounding, calming character to the experience. Pinene (Blue) cuts through with the bright, forest-fresh pine aroma most people associate with this cultivar, and may support a degree of mental clarity during the early onset before the body effect takes hold.

THC level

20 to 28% THC puts King Louis in intermediate-to-experienced territory. Beginners: take a small amount, wait for full onset, and resist the urge to redose early. Experienced consumers will find the potency consistent and reliable.

CBD level

CBD sits at 1% or below in most King Louis phenotypes. It plays a minimal role in the overall profile – this strain’s character is defined almost entirely by its THC and terpene combination rather than any CBD contribution.
