Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Negative energy go away. Today, I want to tell you about a strain that has one of the most flavorful profiles that I’ve tried thus far. Standby. Because I have a lot of information to cover. And the people in the Pride community who are in throughly relationships, this one’s for you. The name of the strain is Triple Scoop.
Triple Scoop is a 60/40 indica-dominant hybrid strain. It’s lineage is a three way cross between Super Silver Haze x Grape LA x Sorbet. Super Silver Haze is a 3-way cross between Skunk x Northern Lights x Haze. Talk about grassroots genetics. Grape La is a cross between Grapefruit x LA Confidential. Sorbet strains are a cross of 4 sativa strains that are Mexican, Colombian, Thai, and South Indian strains that are not identified. There is also another version that has more of the indica effects are a cross between Gelato #33 x 2 Scoops. From the rip you get the strong taste of fruit. The actual flavor profile is a sweet and creamy vanilla combined with fresh berries and citrus fruit. But I felt like I was full face down in a fruit bowl.
The top terpenes are B-Myrcene, B-Caryophyllene, and Linalool. Patients report relief from stress, anxiety, depression, minor aches and pains, inflammation, nausea, appetite loss, fatigue, and mood swings. The effects are very relaxing. But not too heavy to cause ‘couch lock’ at moderate levels. Please keep in mind that each grow will be different and the flower’s effects will differ depending on which region of the country that the plant is grown. Thanks for reading! Keep blazin.’
Affirmation: If my day starts with a wake and bake, it has to be a good day.
“If self‑discovery had a flavor, it would taste like glitter, electrolytes, and a strain that whispers, ‘Girl, breathe. Your hormones are doing the most, but so are you.’”
-This Puzzled Life
Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Negative energy go away. Today’s Budtender Moment is about a strain that started out helping breast cancer patients. And with more identity shifts than a Southern church lady who “doesn’t gossip” but somehow knows everybody’sbusiness. then get And shows up at the Pride celebration wearing rhinestone booty shorts and yelling, “Who needs hydration, I brought electrolytes!” This strain didn’t just evolve. It transitioned into its final form as a supportive, glitter‑covered auntie who knows your pronouns, your trauma, and your snack preferences.
Titty Sprinkles is an indica-dominant hybrid. It’s a cross between Pink Kush x Unknown high‑potency indica parent (breeders keep this one locked up like family secrets at Thanksgiving). Pink Kush was passed around as a clone-only cut that no original seed breeder claimed. But it looks like it’s a phenotype of OG Kush. Companies later made Pink Kush seeds. However, they are usually S1 selfed versions, backcrosses to OG Kush, and Pink Kush x something else. No exacts are known for this strain.
Originally bred to help women and femmes battling breast cancer, this strain was designed for pain, relief, nausea control, emotional steadiness, and the kind of comfort only a plant with a PhD in nurturing can provide. It was medicinal. It was noble. It was the Mother Teresa of cannabis. Then the queer community discovered it. And now she suddenly she had a new job description. You know how queer folks do, we find something healing, supportive, and emotionally stabilizing, and we say, “Yes, this is ours now. We will cherish her. We will rename her. We will give her a personality.” And this strain said, “Bet.”
Now she’s out here supporting folks on feminizing hormone therapy, whispering “Girl, breathe.” “Your emotions are valid.” “Yes, you cried at a commercial about a dog. That’s growth.” “Your chest feels tender because your body is blooming. Let’s celebrate.” She went from chemo companion to Pride grand marshal without missing a beat.
Anyone who’s ever taken estrogen knows the emotional landscape becomes A rollercoaster, A renaissance, A telenovela, A baptism, And A Beyoncé album. And this strain? She’s the herbal auntie who shows up with snacks, tissues, and a folding fan. She helps with mood swings, tenderness, anxiety, The “Did I take my meds or did I hallucinate that?” panic, And the general emotional sparkle of becoming who you truly are. She’s not judging. She’s not rushing you. She’s just vibing and validating.
The top terpenes for this strain are Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Limonene. Together, these terpenes create a profile that’s soothing, slightly sweet, and emotionally stabilizing. And it’s perfect for folks needing comfort, grounding, or a moment of peace. Medical benefits include relief from chronic pain, muscle tension, nausea, stress, anxiety, insomnia, and emotional regulation. It’s a strain that says, “Baby, whatever your body is going through, I’m right here.” This strain now holds two passports, medical cannabis for breast cancer patients and emotional support plant for trans women, nonbinary femmes, and anyone on feminizing hormones. She’s the only strain I know that can help with post‑chemo nausea, calm estrogen‑induced existential spirals, And still say, “Let’s go get a slushie and talk about our gender euphoria” She’s versatile. She’s compassionate. She’s booked and blessed.
Pride is about survival, transformation, community care, reclaiming joy, And honoring every version of ourselves. This strain has been doing that work since day one. She supported women fighting cancer. Now she supports folks fighting for their right to exist authentically. She didn’t change. She expanded. She said, “My love is big enough for all of you.” And honestly? That’s the most Pride‑appropriate energy imaginable.
That’s the story of how a medicinal saint became a queer icon. From oncology wards to Pride floats, this strain said, “I can help your body heal and hype you up while you cry at a cat video and versatility, baby.” Now go forth, hydrate, moisturize, and let this strain hold your hand like a supportive drag mother who refuses to let you dim your light.
Please keep in mind that each grow will be different and the flower’s effects will differ depending on which region of the country that the plant is grown. Thanks for reading! Keep blazin.’
Affirmation: “I honor every version of myself. The past, present, and blooming. I am becoming louder, brighter, queerer, and more unbothered by the minute.”
Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Negative energy go away. Today, I want to tell you about a strain that goes along with Mental Health Awareness Month. And its name is Plum Crazy.
Plum Crazy is an 80/20 indica-dominant hybrid that is a cross between Original Blueberry x Purple Afghani. Original Blueberry is a cross between Afghani x Thai. And Purple Afghani is a cross between Afghani x Purple Kush. This strain has a very distinct blueberry taste. That also has the capability to mellow you out.
Top terpenes in this strain are B-Myrcene, B-Caryophyllene, and Limonene. Patients report relief from conditions like PTSD, insomnia, chronic fatigue, appetite loss, and nausea. Despite it’s indica dominance, it’s not crazy strong. But I would still use it in moderation. For me, any strain that has Blueberry genetics works great on PTSD for me. I like it a little stronger, but this one is still very good medicine. This is a nice relaxing strain that’s perfect right before bedtime. Please keep in mind that each grow will be different and the flower’s effects will differ depending on which region of the country that the plant is grown. Thanks for reading! Keep blazin.’

Typically, it’s used as a medicine that treats arthritis and gout. Eucalyptol is a terpene that is also used as an anti-inflammatory and respiratory support.
Patients report relief from stress, depression, mood swings, appetite loss, and nausea. Even though this strain is considered very indica-dominant, this is a strain that I can use during the day. And it will definitely give you a nice attitude adjustment that both you and others will appreciate.

Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Negative energy go away. In keeping with the self-harm awareness color orange, I want to tell you about a strain called Tangerine Dream.
Tangerine Dream is a sativa-dominant hybrid that is a cross between G13 x Afghani x Neville’s A5 Haze. G13 exact parent strains are unknown. But we do know that it’s a 70/30 indica-dominant. Afghani is a landrace strain that is a pure indica. Haze is a blend of four landrace strain that are Mexican, Colombian, South Indian, and Thai stative strains.
Top terpenes in this strain are Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Limonene. Patients report relief from arthritis, chronic pain, depression, fatigue, headaches, inflammation, insomnia, loss of appetite, migraines, and stress. The taste is definitely a sweet and fruity flavor. As with any sativa-dominant strain be aware that if you have a problem with anxiety, it can increase an already miserable anxiety situation. I have a lot of anxiety, and I always take it easy with these kinds of strains until I know how it will affect me. This strain isn’t as potent as Green Crack. Just don’t go crazy “hot boxing.” Thanks for reading! Keep blazin.’
Affirmation: I consume with intention and gratitude for the experience.
