The Romulan is indeed a reference to Star Trek. It takes its name from its head-bending effects, in the manner of Star Trek's humanoid race, the Romulans. This powerful indica produces almost narcotic effects. Fans of this strain generally find themselves strongly affected, with a slight mental fog.
Romulan's ability to effectively fight pain and stimulate the appetite make it an ideal companion for treatments against cancer, HIV/AIDS or muscle spasms. Although this variety produces strong physical sensations, it also stimulates the mood and relaxes.
Best enjoyed in the evening, Romulan can help people with sleep disorders. A cross between a White Rhino and an unknown indica, this strain provides a pleasant high that lasts. But once you're asleep, you'll have a full and complete night's sleep.
Romulan is generally 18-22 THC, which puts it in the potent category.
