Let’s get this out of the way right now: While Daylight Vibe is designed to wake you, bake you, and send you back into the world functional and smiling, Knockout’s LEGAL line exists for a very different reason.
LEGAL Sativa, and its sibling, LEGAL Strong, are here to absolutely rock your shit (in the best way possible). Make no mistake, these are going to LAUNCH you, not lift you. Compared to Daylight Vibe and even the excellent CERBERUS line (which I still think is perfect for average users or anyone who wants to stay mostly upright and responsible), the LEGAL series is not for beginners. Not even a little. Because these are, hands down, the heaviest and strongest altnoid liquids I’ve tried to date, and I don’t say that lightly.
Yes, I get excited about everything on this site. That’s because I only review what I genuinely love. If it doesn’t wow me, it doesn’t make the blog. But the LEGAL line? This is the release I’ve been most excited about, full stop. Having LEGAL available now as a Sativa, a hybrid-style Strong, and a newly released Indica feels like a dream lineup for experienced users.
Knockout advertises LEGAL as being as close to the “real thing” as legally possible. Humbly? I think it’s even stronger. And I love it.
So far, I’ve gotten my raccoon paws on two of the liquids in the LEGAL lineup. Keep reading for an in-depth review and comparison of Knockout’s LEGAL Strong and LEGAL Sativa liquids, effects, strength, timing, and who they’re really for.

LEGAL Strong — HHBD × H4CBH × CRDP Liquid
According to Knockout, the heights reached with CERBERUS were only the beginning. Because now, LEGAL Strong takes the same golden ratio of HHBD, H4CBH, and CRDP and elevates them.
Right away, it’s clear that the goal here was simple but ambitious: a higher high and a more authentic, true-to-life effect, all while staying within legal boundaries. Therefore, I’d say they definitely succeeded, even if it’s even stronger than the real thing.
Overall, the hybrid effects are there, and leaning slightly towards indica because when I’m tired, this one can knock me out like a light. There’s a real balance of a head high and body buzz with this one. And depending on your mood, you can float around and get things done (barely) or sink into the couch and really get into a movie or some music.

LEGAL Sativa — HHBD × H4CBH × CRDP Liquid
Whoa. This one is all head, right off the top. LEGAL Sativa hits with the same backbone but instantly goes a different direction. While LEGAL Strong balances brain and body, LEGAL Sativa, on the other hand, is unmistakably head-first.
This formula strips away the heavy, sluggish relaxation associated with earlier LEGAL products and replaces it with a sharp, awakened, almost electric mental state. It says it’s designed to clear mental clutter, sharpen perception, and push thinking into a lighter, faster, more precise gear. It works. It feels good. Great. I think I just launched myself into outer space. This is awesome.

My Experience: Side-by-Side (Different Days) Sativa & Strong
0:00
- Sativa: Very real. Grassy, gassy, diesel-forward terps, which isn’t for everyone, but I loved it. No throat kick at all. Almost instantly, I felt it behind the eyes, like my brain hadn’t rebooted, just refreshed.
- Strong: Slightly sweet, refreshing, incredibly smooth. Same near-instant behind-the-eyes onset.
0:05
- Sativa: Oh no. This is not a sneaky smoke. Effects hit hard and fast with a full “oh shit, I’m stoned” moment. Amazing in the right setting, disastrous in the wrong one.
- Strong: Likewise, this is not something you can smoke and be discreet about. Effects spread more gradually through the body. Very glad to be home and settled as it climbed.
0:10
- Sativa: Fully high. Mood lifted, body surprisingly relaxed, and everything just feels good.
- Strong: Quickly climbing. Body loosening, brain calm and happy.
~1 Hour
- Sativa: Now I feel just right. Like a perfect summer day. Light, carefree, zero grogginess. All brain, no drag. My body feels light, and I want to go outside… before inevitably turning into a feral raccoon and eating everything.
- Strong: This could go a few different (but all good!) ways. I could go for a walk, nap, meditate, listen to music, put on a movie… Body pain fades, everything feels comfortable and peaceful. The feral raccoon energy is also present. Music sounds like an incredible symphony my whole body and mind can hear and feel.
Duration
- Sativa: About 2 beautiful hours, tapering into a gentle buzz without forcing sleep.
- Strong: 3–4 hours, with the body effects lingering and easing me into a genuinely blissful sleep.
Next Day
- Both: There is definitely a mild hangover with these. Some slight heaviness behind the eyes, for example. But don’t worry, have some coffee, and you should be as good as new. Still, when you smoke? Tread carefully.
Final Thoughts
In short, I love both and they serve very different purposes.
But which one is the best? Well, that depends on what kind of high you’re after. My husband, Mr. Jane, prefers the LEGAL Sativa for its intense brain buzz and heady clarity. Personally, I lean toward LEGAL Strong for its balance of mental calm, body relief, and knockout sleep. But either way, these will be regulars in my lineup.
These are the strongest altnoid liquids I’ve tried so far, which makes them especially appealing for experienced users looking for the best of the best. Knockout delivers. 11/10, no notes. My only question is how they plan to top this.
Price: ¥15,000 each (1 ml)
And now, Knockout has dropped LEGAL Indica, promising deep relaxation specifically for expert users. Once I’ve spent some quality time with it, I’ll report back.
Check out the whole lineup over at the Knockout online store and tell them Mary Jane in Japan sent ya. Knockout’s products can also be found at Cannabis Club Osaka and CBD Hills in Tokyo.
Stay lifted. 🌿
