strain

There are so many cannabis cultivars available that it can be difficult to decide which ones to try. Doing a little research to see the common effects of the strain you choose is always a good idea, as some are better for evening or sleep and other varieties are more suited for daytime use. As a rule of thumb, indicas tend to be strains that are more physically relaxing, and sativa strains usually give more mental stimulation. 

It can be a little difficult to find a good daytime strain that you can use to help you feel more productive and focused. No one wants to create a to-do list and then go to medicate with cannabis, only to find that you are now couch-locked and unable to do much of anything. If you are looking for a cultivar that can give you better mental clarity, you can try Lucid Blue, Cherry Wine, or Cereal Milk. 

Lucid Blue

Lucid Blue is a powerfully potent sativa that is the perfect choice if you need a strain that will help you to be productive. The THC levels in Lucid Blue can be as high as 28%, making it better suited for more experienced cannabis users. The effects are strong, yet not overpowering, and users who try Lucid Blue say they feel energized and uplifted as well as calm. It was created through a cross between Blue Dream and Grateful Breath. The aroma is a fragrance of sweet blueberries with a bit of earth and grass, and the flavor is a blend of berries with the slightest hint of pepper and spice on the exhale. 

Cherry Wine

Cherry Wine is a rare, high-CBD strain that promises to help boost mental clarity. It was created by crossing The Wife and Charlotte’s Cherries. Cherry Wine only has about 1% THC and anywhere from 12-20% CBD. The low levels of THC make this a great strain to use during the day, as the psychoactive effects are minimal, but users still experience the benefit of feeling uplifted with a boost in focus and productivity. The flavor is a mix of sweet and tart cherry, with undertones of cheese and woody tobacco and spice. The aroma is similar and a mix of berries and cherries with hints of sharp cheese and pepper. 

Cereal Milk

Cereal Milk is a rare hybrid that is great for a boost in energy and uplifted calm. The THC levels in Cereal Milk typically range between 18-24%, making it a versatile cultivar for both newer and more experienced cannabis consumers. Users describe the effects of Cereal Milk as calming and uplifting, and it is perfect to help focus on critical tasks and improve productivity. Many describe the high as euphoric. The aroma is sweet berries mixed with a hint of vanilla and undertones of spice. The flavor is similar and is a blend of sweet and creamy vanilla with notes of fruit.

People tend to describe the taste and smell of cannabis with words like “earthy” or “skunky”. But, several strains have sweet, fruity fragrances and flavors. Dank and skunky strains can be a little overwhelming, particularly for new marijuana consumers, so the fruit-flavored ones are a great starting point for beginners. Here are three popular fruity weed strains to try. 

Blackberry

Blackberry is a hybrid strain that is an even balance of indica and sativa. The THC levels are between 17-20% THC, with the most commonly reported effect being a feeling of relaxation or sleepiness. Blackberry’s aroma is that of berries and a bit of diesel fuel, and the flavor is fruity with a bit of earthiness. It was created by crossing Black Domina and Raspberry Cough, making it an excellent choice for those that wish to medicate with a berry-flavored marijuana strain. The name also may come from the appearance of the strain, which has been bred to produce buds with beautiful shades of purple throughout. 

Strawberry Cough

Strawberry Cough is a fan favorite among marijuana consumers who like a fruity strain. The exact genetics are unknown, but this sativa dominant strain is thought to have been created through a cross of Haze and Strawberry Fields. The potency of Strawberry Cough is said to be able to make even the most experienced cannabis consumer cough a bit. The strain is aptly named, as the dominant smell and taste is sweet strawberry. The THC level of this strain is anywhere from 19-26%, and the effects are a very cerebral and energizing high. 

Fruity Pebbles 

Fruity Pebbles, also known as FPOG or Fruity Pebbles OG, was originally intended to be a limited-time offering from Alien Genetics. The hybrid strain was created by combining the genetics from Green Ribbon, Granddaddy Purple, and Tahoe Alien. The THC level is around 19%, and the most commonly reported effect from FPOG is euphoric relaxation, often ending in a fit of the giggles. The taste and smell of Fruity Pebbles is similar to the cereal for which it was named. Users report tasting the tropical berry flavor of the strain, and the aroma is quite similar. While not an actual “fruit”, FPOG still gives that fruity flavor that many consumers crave.
