Strains

Introduction

There are many different strains of marijuana out there. You may have heard a friend talk about one or two, but it can be hard to keep track of the many different types.

Luckily for you, we've put together this list of some of the most popular strains right now.

OG Kush

OG Kush is a hybrid strain cross between Chemdawg and the Hindu Kush. This strain has been extremely popular with marijuana users for the last several decades, and you've likely heard of OG Kush if you've smoked pot before.

OG Kush has been used as the base for many other strains, including Death Star, Bruce Banner #3, and Granddaddy Purple - all very high-quality strains in their own right.

OG Kush's earthy pine scent results from its Afghani genetics; many people describe it as smelling like Christmas trees or fresh soil after rain.

It won't knock you out like some heavy Indica strains might if you're not used to smoking it often enough (which can be dangerous).

But you may notice yourself feeling relaxed after taking just one hit off an ounce bag of OG Kush: your body will begin to feel heavy as your muscles relax, and your mind slows down enough for you to enjoy whatever activity takes place at that moment with friends or family members around.

Blue Dream

Blue Dream is a Sativa-dominant hybrid with an earthy, blueberry flavor. It has a sweet and fruity aroma.

Blue Dream is known for its long-lasting effects that relax muscles while producing a euphoric high.

Blue Dream's THC content ranges from 18% to 24%, depending on the strain or type of flower. The strain's CBD content can vary between 0% and 1%.

Sour Diesel

Sour Diesel is a Sativa-dominant strain that crosses Chemdawg 91 and Super Skunk. It's known for its extreme potency, with THC levels reaching 25%.

Sour Diesel was created by Barney's Farm and has become one of the most popular strains on the market today.

The strain takes its name from its aroma, which smells like sour grapes or diesel fuel. It's also known for its pungent smell, which can linger in your clothes after smoking it (and possibly your breath).

If you're looking for a consistently high, it won't make you feel sleepy as opposed to some Indica strains that provide more of a sedative effect; this might be what you're looking for.

Girl Scout Cookies

Girl Scout Cookies is a hybrid strain developed by Cookie Fam Genetics. It's a cross between OG Kush and Durban Poison, both of which have been around since the early 90s.

Terpenes have a complex profile, with notes of berry and earthy undertones. Its THC content hovers around 20%, making it one of the most potent strains.

AK-47 Strain

AK-47 is a hybrid strain. It is part of the Kush family, which originates from Afghanistan and Pakistan. AK-47 has a THC content of up to 20%, and its buds are typically covered in thick trichomes (crystals).

As with most Kush strains, AK-47 is known for being very potent. The effects come on fast and robustly, making it ideal for those with chronic pain or other conditions that need immediate relief.

AK-47’s aroma is sweet and sour with hints of fruitiness, while its taste has been compared to freshly cut grass or damp earth.

White Widow

White Widow is a hybrid of a Brazilian Sativa and an Indian Indica. This hybrid strain has the high of a Sativa and the pain relief effects of an Indica. White Widow is often used for stress, depression, chronic pain, and nausea.

White Widow gives you a happy, energetic high that keeps you going throughout your day. It's perfect if you have trouble sleeping at night or have low energy levels during the day; the psychoactive effects of this strain will give you some extra pep in your step.

You can find White Widow at most dispensaries or smoke shops in legal states; however, if it's not available where you live yet, keep checking back because legalization happens quickly these days.

Jack Herer

Jack Herer is a Sativa-dominant hybrid, meaning it has more Sativa than Indica. It has a sweet, earthy, and spicy aroma with hints of citrus and berries.

The strain is named after the famous marijuana activist and author Jack Herer (1939-2010). It’s a cross between Northern Lights #5 and Haze hybrids.

Sensi Seeds initially bred Jack Herer in Amsterdam in the early 1990s, and you can also find it at dispensaries worldwide today.

Conclusion

So, now you know all about the best strains on the market. Which one is your favorite? If you're looking for a theme to help you relax after a long day,

Blueberry Kush is a perfect choice. The Indica-dominant hybrid has an aroma of berries, pine, and musk with hints of grapefruit and sweet tangerine.

Blueberry Kush is best used during evening hours as it makes users sleepy. It has a fruity taste with earthy undertones. This strain won 3rd place at the 2012 High Times Cannabis Cup in San Francisco.
