Effects + Reported Use Cases
9 Pound Hammer is typically reported as a indica-leaning experience: sleep, pain management, the customer who wants a hammer not a feather. Onset is fast, 3-4 minutes, fast heavy body slam. Duration runs 2 to 4 hours when inhaled, longer when consumed as edibles or rosin gummies. The cannabinoid + terpene profile drives the felt experience, not just the THC number on the label.
Terp Bros sells adult-use cannabis for adults 21 and older, and nothing here is medical advice or a treatment claim. What our budtenders will do is explain the terpene and cannabinoid profile, talk through the aroma and the reported feel, and help match a product format and dose to the kind of session you have in mind. Every product is lab-tested with a certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page.

The flowering time runs 8-9 weeks, which puts it in the standard commercial-cultivar window most NY indoor growers are working with.
Budtender Notes, Queens-Specific Observations
the name does the marketing for us, customers asking for "the heaviest indica you have" usually walk out with 9 Pound Hammer or MK Ultra. That observation is the kind of pattern only a store with foot traffic in a specific neighborhood can identify. The Astoria walk-in crowd is different from the Ozone Park walk-in crowd, and both are different from a Manhattan dispensary's customer base.
How to Try 9 Pound Hammer in Queens
Ask at either counter for the current batch and its certificate of analysis: Astoria, 36-10 Ditmars Blvd or Ozone Park, 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd. Same-day delivery covers most of Queens. Formats: flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, edibles (NY OCM caps edibles at 10mg THC per serving, 100mg per package). When a cultivar is out of stock we say so and point to the closest terpene profile on the live menu.
Is 9 Pound Hammer a daytime or evening strain? Yes for most customers. 9 Pound Hammer's myrcene + caryophyllene terpene dominance combined with the indica-leaning lineage makes it one of our requested evening strains. Pair it with a low-dose CBN-blend gummy for full evening wind-down support.
Does 9 Pound Hammer cause anxiety? Less likely than high-terpinolene sativas. 9 Pound Hammer contains caryophyllene (peppery, grounding), limonene (mood-elevating) which tend to read calmer than racy. Start with a small dose if you are sensitive to cannabis, and ask a budtender if 1:1 THC:CBD versions of this strain family are in stock.
What is the THC percentage of 9 Pound Hammer? 9 Pound Hammer typically tests in the 18-23% THC range across NY-licensed cultivators. The exact percentage varies by batch and cultivator, every Terp Bros NYC flower jar has the certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page. CBD is typically less than 1% in this cultivar.
Is 9 Pound Hammer safe for first-time cannabis customers? 9 Pound Hammer is one of the friendlier strains for first-time customers because the body-heavy effect tends to be physically grounding rather than anxiety-provoking. Start with a small dose, and have a low-key evening plan, this is not a strain for active social settings.
