If you’ve been smoking cannabis for some time, you have likely heard of hybrid strains, which are a combination of sativa and indica in one flower.
To quickly break down the difference, sativa strains are great for when you want to tap into your creative side and explore concepts deep in your consciousness, like art, dance, music, or anything abstract.
Indica strains are great when you want to feel relaxed and relieve physical stress by sleeping, binge-watching Netflix shows, watching movies, or meditating.
Hybrids are a mix of both; some are more sativa-leaning, while some are more indica-leaning. When you want to experience free mental movement and a sense of vibrancy while still feeling relaxed and sedated, hybrids are great choices.
If you’re looking for the best hybrid strains to try, you’re in luck. We’ve put together the ultimate list below. Keep in mind that everyone’s body responds a little differently to each strain, so it’s a good idea to try many different strains and see which you prefer.
1. Wedding Cake
| Effects | Happy, calming, relaxation |
| THC | 18% to 27% |
| Sativa | 40% |
| Indica | 60% |
Wedding Cake has been one of my go-to strains for a while now. Triangle Kush and Animal Mints were bred to develop Wedding Cake, a marijuana hybrid strain that is predominantly indica. This strain has a high THC content, making it an excellent strain for those with a high tolerance. After smoking this strain, I find myself feeling relaxed and euphoric. I like that I feel good and can still articulate my ideas well. I’ve introduced so many of my friends to this strain, and they all love it as well.
The strain has earthy undertones and a rich flavor profile making this marijuana strain popular among marijuana enthusiasts.
Once you pass the earthy, doughy smell, you will be greeted by an alluring, sweet aroma. The notes on this strain proved that its backcrossed genetics mingled well and maintained its sugary and tart flavor characteristics. Many users love that it almost tastes like vanilla icing.
The best way to get the best flavor is by using a low-temperature vaporizer. A mild psychedelic high may occur with this strain, and you might even notice everything looks like it’s in HD! Beginners might find this a little confusing, but experienced cannabis consumers shouldn’t have too much difficulty. It is an excellent strain for feeling relaxed since it helps calm you down.
Weed Cake gives an interesting high that’s a little different than many strains I’ve tried.
2. White Widow
| Effects | Social, creative energy, euphoria |
| THC | 14% to 20% |
| Sativa | 40% |
| Indica | 60% |
White Widow is another of my favorite strains because it produces a smooth and reliable high ideal for social situations. It’s uplifting and relaxing at the same time, making it perfect if you’re looking for some creativity and inspiration. It delivers an initial burst of social energy, but when it takes hold, it provides deep relaxation. You may not want to get up as you snuggle in for that heavy body feeling without sedation!
The amount of trichomes on this strain gives it the appearance of being dipped in sugar. An earthy, spicy aroma can be detected in its scent as well. In addition to giving you hints of pine and wood, White Widow offers a faint sweetness that lingers on the palate.
3. OG Kush
| Effects | Social, euphoria, strong body buzz, calming |
| THC | 18% to 26% |
| Sativa | 55% |
| Indica | 45% |
As a result of her indica dominance and powerful high, OG Kush has become a true legend in the cannabis world. In addition to promoting a meditative state, she encourages an inexhaustible desire to smile. Additionally, she has reported benefits that address pain management, struggling with low moods, and experiencing sleep issues.
Chemdawg, Lemon Thai, and Pakistani Kush are blended to create a strong hybrid blend with high levels of THC and medium levels of CBD that complement one another. This strain keeps you focused and low-key. With her complex terpene profile, she provides flavors of fruit, pine, and citrus.
This strain begins as uplifting and talkative, with a social buzz. Euphoria slinks in and is followed into the party with a pronounced body buzz. This legendary strain is a favorite among consumers for its magical fusion of euphoric psychoactive effects and a calm, relaxing mental state. Well worth a try!
4. Pineapple Express
| Effects | uplifting, creative energy, focus |
| THC | 17% to 25% |
| Sativa | 60% |
| Indica | 40% |
A stoner flick of the same name has made Pineapple Express popular. Although the strain’s effects aren’t as dramatic as what you see in the film, it is powerful enough to calm and relax you.
A well-balanced marijuana strain, Pineapple Express tastes divine but also keeps you buzzing, mildly enough so you can still be focused and productive.
With an energizing high, you’ll feel motivated and curious, which makes this another great strain for art. Once that sweet taste hits your mouth, it will stay for several minutes after you’ve taken your first hit.
Known for its funky, citrusy aroma, Pineapple Express will make you smile with pure joy. The flavor is a mild pineapple (imagine that!), but without being sickly sweet.
Pineapple Express is a completely natural, non-government-grown strain that tends to leave its consumers with a feeling of serenity while also keeping their minds open to challenges that lie ahead.
This is one strain with a lot of good qualities, widely used for treating a variety of conditions, symptoms, and ailments in the medical cannabis industry.
Pineapple Express is also available as a high CBD phenotype that is specifically designed to help those with severe medical conditions.
5. Mimosa
| Effects | Motivation, uplifting, stress-relief |
| THC | 19% to 27% |
| Sativa | 70% |
| Indica | 30% |
Mimosa, a hybrid marijuana strain, was created by crossing Clementine and Purple Punch. It produces uplifting, level-headed effects that leave you feeling motivated, uplifted, and ready to tackle whatever needs to be accomplished.
As Mimosa increases in dosage, it induces drowsiness and relaxes the body. The flavor and aroma of this strain are very similar to that of its namesake, primarily with notes of fruit and citrus. This strain’s stress-relieving and anti-depressant properties have made it a popular hybrid for medical marijuana patients. It is characterized by high levels of limonene, a bright, uplifting terpene, as well as myrcene, a sedative.
As you smoke Mimosa, you feel euphoric, energetic, and anxious worries disappear. Be prepared with your favorite munchies when you decide to partake! She’s also a bit of a culprit for dry mouth and dry eyes, so make sure to hydrate!
6. Girl Scout Cookies
| Effects | Relaxation, energy, euphoria |
| THC | 17% to 28% |
| Sativa | 40% |
| Indica | 60% |
A fun fact about this strain is that it’s one of Snoop Dogg’s favorites. One thing I love about this strain is how it puts me in a great mood every time I try it. Be careful with this strain because, let me tell you, it creeps up on you and leaves you with a strong high.
Girl Scout Cookies inspired this dessert-like strain that tastes just like the sweet and minty treats sold by the Girl Scouts. The calming and soothing effects of this fragrance have won this strain numerous awards.
Its aroma has caused Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) to become a stoner’s favorite for years. Its earthy, entrancing, and aromatic aroma has attracted those who want to consume this amazing weed. People who have tried this weed think of the Girl Scout cookies they used to love as a child. It has a sweet but slightly minty flavor, which they find addictive.
GSC has been selling out from dispensaries for years because of its great relaxation and head-clearing effects. It is renowned for the stellar qualities that make stoners and medical cannabis patients alike purchase it again and again.
This strain is known for its skunky, but the slightly minty aroma, which is one of its most notable characteristics. This strain is a pure strain of bliss and magic, a strain that will both ground you and lift you up into the clouds, a sweet spot of balance for anyone who consumes cannabis.
With GSC, consumers experience an uplifting, energizing high while also maintaining a cerebral, reflective mood.
When you want creativity, or uplifting, happy times, or to relax after a hard day at work, you can count on this strain to deliver all of the above, including melting away your problems one hit at a time.
As you ride your high through the Girl Scout Cookie dose, you will experience periods of high energy and periods of couch-lock. This makes GSC an unsuitable option for a wake and bake and it’s better left for later on when you’re ready to relax.
As a result of its high THC content, the Girl Scout Cookies strain has a long-lasting high. For those looking to get the most for their money, this is welcome news.
7. Chiquita Banana
| Effects | Euphoria, creativity, focus |
| THC | 29% to 34% |
| Sativa | 50% |
| Indica | 50% |
Chiquita Banana has been one of my favorite hybrid strains for a long time. Its high potency makes it a strain we do not recommend for novice consumers. It’s well known to be one of the strongest weed strains out there. With THC levels highs of 34%, it’s one of the strongest hybrid strains on the market today.
This strain’s name comes from the Banana strain, which is known to be tropical and has also been bred by Utopia Farms. Ideally, you should enjoy this little number late in the afternoon so that it has plenty of time to lull you into a dreamy sleep.
OG Kush and Banana are the parents of Chiquita Banana, a 50:50 hybrid weed variety that has an indica to sativa ratio. Don’t be surprised if you experience an intense high after smoking Chiquita Banana strain. The flavor is similar to a sweet banana with a lemony exhale.
If you’re a seasoned smoker, have you ever wondered what life was like before you started smoking pot? Finding a strain that offers anything new may seem impossible, but the chance to experience your first high all over again may just be a sweet session with Chiquita Banana.
This hard-to-find hybrid has a distinct tropical scent with a fruity aroma that is genuinely inviting. While its dominant aroma is sweet, those of you who are more knowledgeable about cannabis will also detect some more complex earthy notes.
Citrus, sugar, and petals are the notes reported by most users, which makes this a truly refreshing, alluring scent.
A rich, full-bodied flavor that is initially sweet, Chiquita Banana has notes of candied fruit as well as a subtle earthiness to balance out all that sweetness. In addition to its floral aroma, this strain’s taste is well-balanced, making for a pleasant smoking experience.
With a fast-acting buzz that begins behind the eyes and spreads to the rest of the body, this strain is perfect for multitasking, relaxing, and unwinding.
A few seconds after first consuming this strain, users can expect an unexpected rush of energy that won’t last. You’ll soon feel enveloped with a sense of inspiration, happiness, and euphoria.
It can be a bit overwhelming at first, but soon the psychoactive effects will dissipate and be replaced by relaxed, open-minded effects, which will leave you feeling more relaxed and open-minded.
If you’re looking for a strain to help you stay focused in addition to deep and creative thinking, give this one a try. This string is very popular among people who find it difficult to concentrate and focus.
Over time, the mental buzz reduces a bit, and you will experience physical relaxation, which is great for handling aches and pains and won’t make you sleepy. You’ll likely drift into a happy place and notice recreated stress and anxiety.
The effects of this strain don’t disappoint whether you are a marijuana veteran who’s looking for something different or a smoker in search of a high-THC strain.
8. Sour Diesel
| Effects | Uplifting, energy, social, happiness, euphoria, and calming |
| THC | 17% to 26% |
| Sativa | 85% |
| Indica | 15% |
Sour Diesel is a very popular sativa dominant hybrid strain, and a lot is said about it since people use it for social situations, sex, and even medicinal purposes.
When you smoke Sour Diesel, you’ll likely notice a burst of energy and a sense of euphoria that makes everything feel amazing. Sour Diesel’s energy is reinforced further by its high THC level.
If you enjoy sex and cannabis, you will probably enjoy Sour Diesel. Sativa-dominant strains provide a spike in energy and lift your mood.
In addition, you might even notice yourself feeling less anxious and being more social, even flirty in some cases.
When I smoke it, I find it calms my uneasiness. The anti-anxiety effects of this powerful strain allow you to concentrate on enjoying social activities and socializing with others, all the while squashing nervous tension, as long as you keep your dose low.
The effects of Sour Diesel are impressive when it comes to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) tolerance and excitement. This strain is one of the strongest known sativas, with THC contents ranging between 17-26%.
If you are queasy with the effects of THC, this cannabis strain is probably not for you. But you can use it to stimulate your imagination and increase your focus.
9. Blue Dream
| Effects | Energy, creativity, relaxation |
| THC | 17% to 25% |
| Sativa | 60% |
| Indica | 40% |
The sweet taste and divine smell of this euphoric strain linger long after smoking it. Blue Dream delivers an experience filled with creativity and energy. Avoid this flower too close to bedtime.
Blue Dream is the perfect cannabis strain for people new to cannabis. The strain is light, cheerful, and not too strong. The high should be enjoyable.
Sativa and indica are present in Blue Dream’s properties. However, tread lightly as she is potent. As opposed to indica strains, which leave you feeling sleepy, this strain allows you to remain focused and motivated. However, it can be sleepy if you take too much.
It is no secret that Blue Dream has long been considered one of America’s favorite cannabis strains. As close as you can get to perfect, this mostly sativa hybrid provides a balanced high. With its manageable high, Blue Dream is a popular choice among marijuana consumers of all types.
Since it gives long-lasting energy, Blue Dream is ideal for long bouts of creativity, long-lasting foreplay, or dancing all night long.
10. Cannatonic
| Effects | Happy, uplifting, relaxation |
| THC | 4% to 8% (12% CBD) |
| Sativa | 50% |
| Indica | 50% |
Often referred to as the world’s best high-CBD marijuana strain, Cannabisonic is undoubtedly one of the best hybrids around. It has a reputation of being “the anti-anxiety marijuana strain.” In the sense that it has relatively high levels of both THC and CBD, it is considered to be a rarity. The THC content of Cannatonic cuts can reach 8% and possibly even higher in some cases. The CBD content can reach 12%.
G13 Haze and MK Ultra combine to give an exceptionally balanced hybrid, that is 50% sativa, 50% indica. New users might not fully understand how their experience will be. Generally, it provides a mild high.
Cannabis is known for having a distinctive scent. While you may first smell earthy notes, focus on the scent and you’ll notice citrus notes as well. Much like G13 Haze, it is characterized by woody and earthy flavors. Cannatonic contains significant amounts of terpenes (especially myrcene and linalool), as evidenced by its orange smell. Smoking the herb brings out sour notes as well.
Cannatonic is typically loved by customers! With a tangy sweetness, be prepared for a combination of pine and citrus that teases your senses. As a result, it is a smooth smoke with no overwhelming taste.
Despite not lasting as long as other well-known strains, it leaves you feeling happy and relaxed, like the weight of the world has been lifted from your shoulders.
Users of Cannatonic typically feel optimistic and happy after consuming it. While there is no energy boost, neither is there anything to worry about like couch-lock. In the medical marijuana industry, it has earned a reputation for its effectiveness as an analgesic.
Thus, users report relief from chronic pain, such as muscle spasms and migraines. There are minimal side effects, but some patients may experience mild headaches, dry eyes, or dry mouth.
11. Three Blue Kings
| Effects | Tingly, relaxing, warm sensations |
| THC | 16% to 32% |
| Sativa | 65% |
| Indica | 35% |
One of the most popular hybrids on the market today is a new hybrid that is indica-dominant. The feminized strain, designed for easy growing, comes from Humboldt Seed Organization. Its name comes from a cross between Three Kings and Blue Dream.
It is interesting to see such a hyped hybrid come from the lineage of Blue Dream, which has become one of the most popular strains in history. Featuring a high THC content of up to 24%, Three Blue Kings is among the most potent strains you can find! Your head will be buzzed with a warm sensation, your body will be heavy, and you’ll feel great and relaxed.
The result is a high-quality strain with heavy buds and a delicious fruity smell. It is described as aromatizing like fruit and sweet with zesty overtones, while it tastes like petrol, lemon, pine, and fuel.
The Blue Kings strain delivers a very subtle and clear head high while a soft silky blanket of relaxation covers your body. Three Blue Kings is rapidly becoming very popular. It is very sweet-smelling, smooth to smoke, and easy on the lungs. Three Blue Kings is easily one of the best hybrid strains out there, and if you’ve never tried it, now might be the time!
12. Larry Bird Kush (a.k.a. Gelato)
| Effects | Energy, creativity, calming |
| THC | 15% to 20% |
| Sativa | 50% |
| Indica | 50% |
Users of this strain have called Larry Bird the “perfect 50/50” hybrid. A mash-up of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies and Sunset Sherbet, it is named in honor of the legendary Boston Celtics player. This hybrid has a THC content of around 20% and a CBD content of around 1%.
It’s easy to see why its sweet grape aromas are so appealing, and it offers a smooth smoke that offers a flowery and minty taste. You’ll understand the hype after experimenting with Larry Bird Kush. The drug produces a pleasant cerebral high followed by a feeling of tingling that is almost impossible to describe. Larry Bird Kush is a strain that can put a big smile on your face in just a few hits.
A positive high boosts the mood of users who are experiencing a cerebral high. The effects are similar to a caffeine rush without the comedown, say experienced users. In addition to its wake and bake properties, it could help boost your energy levels in the afternoon.
You will be drawn in by the sweet fruity aroma. You can taste grapes and tartness in the buds that get stronger as you grind them. The classic skunk flavor of the Kush strain may also be apparent. This strain, however, has a more subtle scent.
In addition to the grape scent, the taste is also sweet. Apart from the fruity undertones, you’ll likely notice floral and earthy notes. On the exhale, you might even detect a hint of mint.
13. Royal AK
| Effects | Body tingles, bliss, sleepiness |
| THC | 10% to 20% |
| Sativa | 65% |
| Indica | 35% |
Despite its name, the Royal AK is actually a soft, soothing high that induces a mellow mood. A high full of pleasure and euphoria is often produced by Royal Queen Seeds’ flavorful and potent Royal AK strain that produces a pleasant full-body high and lasting cerebral clarity.
You will be able to experience a very strong out-of-body feeling that will help your mind overflow with creative ideas. Anything touching your skin will make you tingly in all the best ways. You are the main character in your own personal movie. At times it can be disorienting. The feelings of relaxation are so relaxing that it may be difficult to keep your eyes open. You feel in a state of bliss while listening to music.
There is usually a longer-lasting high, and you may find yourself giggling uncontrollably. This bud has an initial sour smell combined with earthy scents. Further digging may bring out hints of sugar. It tastes earthy and spicy with a hint of floral flavor. Chronic pain, anxiety, and lack of appetite have all been reported to be alleviated by Royal AK.
14. Gorilla Glue
| Effects | Relaxation, body high, sleep, sedation, numbing |
| THC | 18% to 32% |
| Sativa | 65% |
| Indica | 35% |
Chem’s Sister, Chocolate Diesel, and Sour Dubble make up the genetics of Gorilla Glue, which consists of 50/50 sativa and indica genes. Like Chiquita Banana, this strain is included on this list of the strongest hybrids because of its potency.
Gorilla Glue has a THC level of about 25%, and some cuts go as high as 32%. Dopamine production is heightened in this strain, which makes it a good choice for nighttime use. One single puff will whisk you off to the Land of Dreams and Snoresville.
An indoor cannabis farm’s smell is reminiscent of Gorilla Glue #4’s pungent and skunky aroma. Due to its sticky nature, this strain has a pungent smell. Besides pine-like notes and earthy, woodsy notes, the aroma also evokes images of being in a pine forest. Additionally, this cannabis strain also boasts notes of chocolate and coffee, which makes it a tasty combination.
Chocolate Diesel adds gasoline and chocolate notes to its Sour Dubble genetics of sour apple flavor. Last but not least, Chem’s Sister lends the strain a feeling of manufactured taste, but overall it’s delightful. I know it doesn’t sound like a great combo, but it is delicious!
The massive levels of THC in Gorilla Glue #4 are also not counterbalanced by much CBD! The CBD content in GG#4 cuts is usually around 0.1%. There is a lot of variety in GG#4 cuts, so one strain could be sativa-dominant, and another could be indica-dominant. This strain of cannabis is surprisingly often calming and relaxing rather than uplifting and energizing.
When the effects begin to take hold, though, its THC can be as high as 32 percent, so if you’re not used to it, it may be overwhelming. The rapid and powerful head high is followed by a feeling of relaxation throughout the whole body. Do not be surprised if it takes over four hours for the cerebral high to subside.
Your muscles will find it difficult to move once your body has become relaxed. If you take your first Gorilla Glue hit, you’ll likely experience euphoria and happiness. You can relax in complete harmony with yourself without laughing out loud. Just feel inner contentment.
15. Wedding Pie
| Effects | Relaxed, happy, sleepy |
| THC | 20% to 28% |
| Sativa | 40% |
| Indica | 60% |
Wedding Pie is a top hybrid strain with a 60% Indica and a 40% sativa percentage. A cross between Wedding Cake and Grape Pie produced this dessert-lovers dream. We are also including it here for its super sweet flavor. Grape and berry flavors are highlighted in these buds by hints of nutty, delicious dough. If you enjoy a sweet taste, this is one that, ahem, takes the cake. No, I’m not sorry.
The head high you get on smoking Wedding Pie starts mildly tingly before taking over your mind and settling into a relaxing and calming high. The flower is best used in the evening as it leaves you rested, unfocused, and lazy.
My experience with this strain has been amazing, and I really like that you can smell and taste the cake and the pie at the same time and distinguish between the two. My inner-fat kid finds it difficult to stop.
If you’re looking for a solid head high with a couch-lock experience and to sleep like the dead, Wedding Pie might be a wonderful strain to have on your bucket list.
16. Sour Dawg
| Effects | Energetic, happy, euphoric, relaxed, creative, focused |
| THC | 25% to 29% |
| Sativa | unknown% |
| Indica | unknown% |
Sour Dawg is a sativa dominant hybrid known for potency, aroma, and flavor profile. This marijuana strain is a cross between Sour Diesel and Tress Dawg. It can reach a high THC level of up to 29%, but the exact ratio of sativa to indica is unknown.
The sour scent of Sour Dawg will please anyone who loves fuel aromas. An aromatic strain with a strong diesel fragrance is accented with earthy and pine-like notes. With hints of damp earth and tart citrus, this strain has a smooth yet powerful taste.
It all begins with a rush of energy into one’s head that lasts for a long time. Immediately, it promotes a positive attitude, lifts the mood, relieves tension, and encourages focus and creativity.
A perfect strain for social situations, art-making, brainstorming, and connecting with others. It is possible to become couch-locked after a while when the euphoric high slowly moves down your body, leaving you feeling deeply relaxed and tingling.
You’ll likely notice yourself feeling re-energized and focused on task-oriented activities. A rush of cerebral energy and a sense of euphoria accompany the high of Sour Dawg, which is perfect for socializing with friends.
As this strain begins to kick in, users feel a warm, tingling sensation throughout their bodies, which is both sleepy and not too lethargic. Sour Dawg is also known for being able to alleviate fatigue, stress, pain, and inflammation. If you’re looking for the best sativa dominant hybrid strains, give this one a try.
17. Cherry Pie
| Effects | Social, creativity, relaxation |
| THC | 16% to 24% |
| Sativa | 20% |
| Indica | 80% |
As a result of the crossing of Grand Daddy Purple with Durban Poison, Cherry Pie has an indica-dominant makeup (80% indica and 20% sativa).
It has been used in treating a variety of ailments for its euphoric, relaxing, uplifting, and focusing effects.
You’ll be in heaven once you try the Cherry Pie strain if you love weed and have a sweet tooth. This strain has a moderate to strong THC level, depending on the cut, and can be quite potent. I would say that the combination of baked goods with the cherry flavor makes for a visual and olfactory feast for the senses.
Cherry Pie’s mouth-watering taste and pleasant effects have been known to experienced users and industry professionals for quite some time.
In terms of smell, you won’t be surprised by Cherry Pie marijuana. The taste of this can be described as being similar to freshly baked cherry pie as it’s being pulled out of the oven. The smell comes off as quite dank. Cherries, blueberries, and earthy spice all blend nicely together to create Cherry Pie’s distinctive flavor.
Cherry Pie smokers are usually stunned when they taste its skunky, piney flavor after the first puff. Cherry Pie eventually reveals its sweetness and smoked cherry flavor. Sticky and sweet, comparable to glace cherries, the flavor persists on the tongue. Generally, novices may cough from the spiciness, and the cherry flavor is more prominent than pie!
In case you were expecting a strong body high from this indica dominant hybrid, you will again be surprised. Almost immediately after having a hit, you’ll find yourself feeling a burst of energy. You may notice that your thoughts begin to race as your brain goes into overdrive. It won’t take long before you start talking; perhaps this is the evening you decide to solve all the problems in the world!
Cannabis users on America’s West Coast had long considered Cherry Pie a secret. Cherry Pie’s potency shouldn’t be underestimated, even though it isn’t the strongest strain on the market.
Despite its name, this strain does not produce the body high one might expect; however, you will likely find yourself feeling euphoric and energetic.
18. Strawberry Banana
| Effects | Social, creative energy, euphoria |
| THC | 21% to 26% |
| Sativa | 30% |
| Indica | 70% |
Since we’re feeling fruity, we have to share Strawberry Banana as one of our best indica dominant hybrid strains.
Strawberry Banana starts with a light buzz but gradually rises to a mood-lifting and euphoric cerebral high. Consequently, this hybrid strain is the ideal strain for use at night since it allows the mind to calm and relax.
This strain has a mellow high that offers a combination of Banana Kush and Strawberry phenotypes from Serious Seeds’ Bubble Gum. You will also experience heightened senses and a burst of creativity after smoking Strawberry Banana.
After the initial effects wear off, you may feel sleepy, so be ready to hit the pillow or couch before long.
Strawberry Banana delivers a sensational fruity aroma with slightly earthy undertones. Although it smells more like a banana than strawberry, the berry is still present.
The earthy undertone of the buds is released more fully when they’re ground, giving off a spicy, hashy scent.
This one stinks, so it’s not the best for covert consumption. On the flip side, the smell alone at a party is enough to get people talking.
Strawberry Banana’s delicious flavor is one of its greatest joys. It is not at all surprising that a strain named Strawberry Banana turns out to be one of the best tastes on the market.
The taste of the tropical strawberry at first match its smell and is strong and sweet. Banana flavors come to the forefront upon exhalation. One of the most enjoyable aspects of this strain, along with the wonderful scent, is its fruity flavor. Your taste buds will be filled with fruity delight as you envision the best smoothie imaginable.
19. Runtz

Smooth and welcoming, Runtz is renowned for its creamy flavor. Known for its long-lasting and uplifting effects, this strain produces a euphoric high.
Get ready for a ride. Users describe this high as extremely cerebral, with deep ideas flowing in and meaningful conversations with good friends. You’ll only need one hit, and that hit is going to make you cough. You’ll be taking off like a rocket for the first few minutes, and you may not be able to remember anything.
The opposite of couch-lock, Runtz is all the way up to infinity and beyond. Buzz Lightyear himself wouldn’t need to reach for his rocket boosters.
Surprisingly, consumers say they haven’t experienced cottonmouth or dry eyes/eye redness with this strain, although some appetite was noted, but nothing crazy.
This strain is a pure sativa wave of euphoria, inspiration, and motivation. If you get the chance to try Runtz, jump at the opportunity. This is the real deal.

As you stretch out and relax on a sofa or bed after a Runtz session, your physical pains will melt away while your mind expands. Turn on some music or watch a movie and let your mind wander.
20. Jack Herer
| Effects | Social, energy, euphoria, focus |
| THC | 15% to 24% |
| Sativa | 55% |
| Indica | 45% |
Though Jack is predominantly a sativa, the indica factor is just enough to keep your feet firmly planted. You won’t sleep with Jack. When it comes to energy and focus, sativa types will do better, while indica types will work better for insomnia and depression. The joy and energy you feel from Jack will last all day long.
Sativa-leaning Jack Herer marijuana is well known for its potent medical properties. It’s quite easy to cultivate as well, making it an easy bud for cannabis-growing newbies.

One can most likely expect to find an earthy, damp aroma when smoking Jack Herer weed, which is reminiscent of an old-growth, ancient forest. When you first smell Jack Herer, you’ll experience piney, woodsy hints that peak at the inevitable darkness of Skunk genetics, and that’s going to ensure you feel connected with nature.
Its aromas are a complex blend of citrus and spice, with bursts of lemon and orange flavors.
There is a subtle sweetness to the flavor that echoes its aroma, leaving your tastebuds pleased and happy.

Jack Herer weed is best kept until the last moment before bedtime, as it is considered a great daytime or unwind after-work kind of strain. You don’t want to be awake and restless all night.
