Aroma
Flavour
“Skunky funk and pine over an earthy base.”
The nose is classic and sweet: skunky funk and pine over an earthy base. The effect is relaxing and weighty — a calm, body-leaning high that drifts toward sleep.
It's dense, frosty and dependable, an 80s-90s building block. For old-school NL-and-skunk genetics, Shiva Skunk is a quiet workhorse.

Bud structure
Density varies with the grower and conditions — treat this as a tendency, not a guarantee.
Shiva Skunk is typically described with aromas of skunky, earthy, sweet and citrus and flavours of earthy, sweet, citrus and herbal. Aroma and flavour vary with grower, batch and freshness.
Shiva Skunk is commonly associated with effects such as relaxed, heavy body, euphoric and happy. Effects are subjective and vary with the dose, the way cannabis is taken and the individual — this is sensory guidance, not a guarantee.
Shiva Skunk is classified as indica in the SŌMA catalog. These labels are a loose shorthand rather than a precise prediction of effect; studies find they do not reliably track a plant's genetics or chemistry.
By sensory profile, the closest strains in the SŌMA catalog include Major League Bud, MC Nuggets and Williams Wonder. SŌMA matches on aroma, flavour and effect rather than name alone.
