Budtender Moment: Apples and Bananas Strain Review

“Weed is the friend that doesn’t  mind if you cancel plans.”

-Unknown

Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Negative energy go away. Today, I want to tell you about a cannabis strain called Apples and Bananas. Nothing says spring time and fresh fruit like this strain.

Apples and Bananas is an indica-dominant balanced hybrid that is a four-way cross between Platinum Cookies x Grandaddy Purple x Blue Power x Gelati. Platinum Cookies is a cross between OG Kush x Durban Poison. Grandaddy Purple is a cross between Purple Urkle x Big Bud. Blue Power is a cross between Sour Double x Master Kush x The White x Blue Moonshine. Gelati is a cross between Gelato x Biscotti. This strain is simply sweet and fruity.

The top terpenes in this strain are Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene. Other combinations of this strain also have Linalool in them. Patients report relief from conditions such as anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, appetite loss, nausea, muscle spasms, cramps,  PTSD and pain. The effects for me seem indica dominant. However, try it for yourself and watch the stress melt away. Thanks for reading! Keep blazin.’

Affirmation: I am full of joy and optimism today.

Gassiest Strains Old and New: From Diesel Legends to 2026 Heavy Hitter

“Some folks chase sweetness. I chase the kind of gas that makes the room reconsider its life choices.”

-This Puzzled Life

 Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Today we’re summoning the spirits of pure, uncut GAS. The strains that smell like somebody parked a diesel truck inside a citrus grove and left it idling through the Rapture.

Below is the Budtender Moment guide to the gassiest classics. And the new‑school 2026 heavy hitters. And they have enough funk to peel paint off a double‑wide. I am someone who truly loves the stinkiest strains available. The ones that hit your nose like a spiritual slap from the universe. And yes, I know they’re almost always indica‑dominant. And yes, I still run toward them like they’re handing out free emotional stability at the door. But here’s the truth. That stink is where I find the most relief.

I personally love that diesel‑fuel flavor. The kind of taste that makes you wonder if you should be smoking it or checking it for an oil leak. That’s nothing more than personal preference. But it’s my preference. And these are also the strains that make other people’s heads whip around like, “Ewwwww. What is that smell?” To which I reply, with the confidence of a Southern auntie blessing the potluck table, “That’s the beautiful smell of healing, sweetheart. Don’t be rude.” Sometimes I even add, “If your weed doesn’t smell like a truck stop bathroom during a Nascar weekend, I don’t want it.” 

Gas is not a smell. It’s a warning label. It’s the terpene equivalent of your uncle’s truck backfiring during Sunday service. It’s the aroma that tells you, “Sit down. You’re not going anywhere for a minute.” And in 2026, gas is back with a vengeance. Candy strains still run the TikTok crowd. But the real heads? They’re hunting for diesel, skunk, rubber, fuel, and straight‑up chemical warfare. Let’s get into it.

 The Gassiest Strains of 2026 (Plus the Classics That Built the Church)

The classic gas gods are the strains that walked so the new exotics could run.

OG Kush (Chemdawg × (Lemon Thai × Hindu Kush)

It is the grandfather of modern gas. Earthy, piney, fuel‑soaked, and attitude heavy. If OG Kush were a person, it would be a retired mechanic who still wins bar fights. Why it’s still top tier? Perfect balance of body melt + mental clarity. That unmistakable fuel‑pine punch. And the backbone of half the strains on the market.

Sour Diesel (Chemdawg × Super Skunk)

It is the strain that smells like someone spilled jet fuel on a lemon. Energetic, cerebral, and loud enough to get you kicked out of a library. Why it endures? Fast‑acting uplift. Iconic diesel nose. And the blueprint for modern sativas with bite.

Chemdawg (Mystery Colorado “Dogbud” × Unknown High‑Potency Mystery Strain)

It is the chemical spill that started a dynasty. Sharp, funky, pungent kind of smell that makes new smokers ask, “Is it supposed to smell like that?” Why it’s legendary? It’s a parent of Sour D, OG Kush, and countless 2026 exotics. It has heavy potency. And is pure gas from start to finish.

Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) (Chem’s Sister × Sour Dubb × Chocolate Diesel)

 Is sticky, funky, rubbery, and strong enough to glue you to the couch like a failed DIY project. Why it’s still a favorite? It’s a resin monster. It provides deep relaxation. And that classic rubber‑meets‑diesel aroma.

These are the new school strains carrying the torch. And lighting it with a blowtorch. Get ready for the some of the newest funk on the market.

GMO (Garlic Cookies) ( Girl Scout Cookies × Chemdawg)

GMO is still the undisputed king of “my God, what is that smell?” Garlic, gas, funk, and a little bit of “did someone leave food in the car?” Why it’s huge in 2026? It has sky‑high potency. It has that unmistakable savory‑fuel profile. And hash makers worship it.

Gumbo (Gummo × Guru)

Gumbo is the strain that said, “Candy is cute, but let’s get weird again.” Savory, funky, gassy, and loud. Why it’s hot in 2026? It has that unique terp profile. Heavy body effects. And is a leader in the “funk comeback” movement.

Hash Burger (Han Solo Burger × (Hash Plant × Larry OG)

Hash Burger smells like someone grilled a burger on a diesel generator. Savory, earthy, fuel‑rich, and resinous. Why it’s trending? It’s built for hash. Those deep, relaxing effects. And a terp profile that punches first and apologizes never.

Gorilla Breath (Gorilla Glue #4 × OGKB)

A modern hybrid that blends classic gas with sweet undertones. Think OG Kush meets a rubber tire shop. Why it’s rising? Because of its balanced potency. It’s very loud aroma. And perfect for people who want gas with a little dessert.

Motorbreath (Chemdawg × SFV OG Kush)

If you want straight fuel, no fruit, no candy, no nonsense. Motorbreath is your strain. Why 2026 loves it? It’s pure diesel. The very heavy effects. And a favorite among old‑school heads.

Gas isn’t just a terp profile. It’s a personality type. It’s a lifestyle. And a spiritual alignment. Gas never left. It just waited for the candy craze to calm down. And in 2026, the real heads are circling back to the strains that smell like a mechanic shop, a truck stop, and a citrus grove had a love child. These are the strains that built the culture. Shaped the genetics. And still slap harder than your grandma’s “I told you not to touch that” backhand. Gas is for the people who don’t need their weed to taste like a cupcake or a tropical smoothie. Gas is for the folks who want their flower to announce itself like a Southern auntie walking into a room with a fresh wig and a louder opinion.

May your jars stay loud. Your grinders stay sticky. Your terps stay funky. Your gas stay premium. May your stash always lean toward the strains that tell the truth. The ones that smell like a mechanic shop on a July afternoon. Like a tire fire behind a Waffle House. Like somebody spilled jet fuel on a stack of church fans and said, “Yep. That’s the one.” And may your nose stay blessed with the kind of diesel funk that makes strangers in the parking lot turn around and say, “Lord, who brought that?”

In this house, we don’t chase trends. We chase truth, terpenes, and the kind of diesel that clears a room and heals a soul. And if you’re here reading this and nodding along. And smelling imaginary diesel in the air. Then you already know. The future of cannabis isn’t sweet. It’s funky. It’s rubbery. It’s chemical. It’s loud.

So, roll it up, spark it slow, and let the ancestors of OG, Chem, and Sour whisper their wisdom through the smoke. In 2026 and beyond, one truth remains eternal. Candy fades. Trends die. But gas? Gas is forever. Thanks for reading! And keep blazin.’

Affirmation: I honor what heals me. Even if it smells like a truck stop exorcism. My relief is sacred. My preference is valid. And my gas is premium.

The Cannabis Heavy Hitters Hall of Fame: Classics vs. 2026 Monsters

“If this weed knocks me into next week. Please forward my mail.”

-This Puzzled Life

Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Today we’re honoring the strains that don’t just get you high. They send you to the astral plane with a souvenir T‑shirt and a warning label. This is the Budtender Moment where we salute the OG titans that built the culture and the 2026 genetic super‑soldiers that make even seasoned smokers say, “Oh. Oh wow. Okay then.” Let’s break it down. Here are five classic strains that still hit like a tax audit. And five new‑age strains engineered in a lab by people who clearly don’t fear God.

THE CLASSIC STRONGEST STRAINS

OG Kush (Chemdawg × Hindu Kush × Lemon Thai)

The strain that raised half the industry and traumatized the other half. Earthy, piney, citrusy, and strong enough to make you rethink your life choices in 4K resolution.

2. Sour Diesel (Chemdawg 91 × Super Skunk) 

Smells like a gas station in heaven. Hits like a motivational speaker with a megaphone. You will clean your whole house and then forget why you started.

3. Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) (Chem’s Sister × Sour Dubb × Chocolate Diesel)

Sticky, heavy, and spiritually adhesive. This strain will glue you to the couch and file a restraining order against productivity.

4. Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) (OG Kush × Durban Poison)

Sweet, earthy, euphoric, and strong enough to make you confess things nobody asked. A classic “I’m fine. No, I’m not. Yes I am.” strain.

5. Granddaddy Purple (GDP) (Purple Urkle × Big Bud) 

The grape‑flavored lullaby. Perfect for when you want to melt into the furniture and become a decorative throw pillow.

THE NEWEST 2026 HEAVYWEIGHT STRAINS

6. Galactic Gasoline (Jet Fuel Gelato × Planet of the Grapes) 

A cosmic punch of diesel and fruit funk. This one doesn’t “hit.” It abducts you. Probes your stress. And returns you slightly better than it found you.

7. Nuclear Sherb (Sunset Sherbet × Atomic Apple)

Sweet, creamy, and explosively potent. The kind of strain that makes you stare at your own hands like they’re guest stars in your life.

8. Dragon’s Breath 2.0 (Dragon’s Breath × The Bling) 

Fiery citrus, spicy pine, and THC levels that should require a permission slip. Perfect for when you want to feel brave but also deeply horizontal.

9. Diesel Crown (Cheetah Piss × Royal Kush) 

A regal, fuel‑soaked slap to the senses. Smells like a monarchy that runs on premium unleaded. Bow before your gassy king.

10. Moonquake (Moonbow × Earthquake OG)

Sweet candy meets seismic activity. This strain shakes your brain like a snow globe. And leaves you giggling at absolutely nothing.

And there you have it. Ten strains so strong they could power a small Southern town if we could just figure out the wiring. Classics that built the throne. And 2026 newcomers that kicked the door in wearing steel‑toe boots. If you choose to smoke any of these, may your snacks be plentiful. Your couch be supportive. And your responsibilities be patient. Budtender out. Thanks for reading! Keep blazin.’ Have you tried any of the newest and strongest strains of the year?

Affirmation: I am grounded. I am centered. And I will absolutely survive this THC level, probably.

Budtender Moment: Dank OG Concentrate Strain

“Some strains relax you. Dank OG unplugs you and plugs you back in at 50% brightness.”

-This Puzzled Life

 Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Negative energy go away. Crack your knuckles. Clear your schedule. And maybe put your phone on Do Not Disturb. This one’s thick, sticky, and spiritually committed to humbling you. Today, I want to talk to you about a strain that represents the funk that we will be discussing this month. And it’s a strain that’s concentrated called Dank OG.

Dank OG as a concentrate is not here to play. Flower Dank OG already walks around with that “I’ve seen some things” energy. But once you turn it into wax, badder, rosin, or shatter, it becomes the strain equivalent of a Southern auntie who takes off her earrings before she speaks. This is old‑school gas turned into a modern‑day thunderclap.

Dank OG comes from the legendary OG Kush line. The backbone of half the gas-heavy strains people swear by today. The lineage for this strain is OG Kush × Unknown Kush Hybrid. This is the family tree of strains that smell like they were raised in a garage. Taught discipline by a mechanic. Is blessed by a pine forest. And has that classic “sit down before you fall down” energy.

The terpene Profile consists of Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Pinene. Concentrates amplify everything. The aroma, the flavor, the punch, and the personality. Dank OG’s terpene profile hits like a gospel choir of gas. In concentrate form, these terpenes don’t whisper. They testify.

Dank OG concentrate tastes like someone bottled the smell of a gas station parking lot after a summer rain and then added pine needles for decoration. The flavor profile are made up of heavy diesel, deep earth, sharp pine, a warm, peppery finish, and that unmistakable OG “who turned up the gravity” aftertaste. This is not a dessert strain. This is a “wipe your tools on your jeans and get back to work” strain. Dank OG concentrate hits with the force of a memory you forgot you had. This is also a couch-lock classic. A “don’t make plans” strain. A “why does my blanket feel emotional” strain.

Patients often reach for Dank OG concentrates when they need relief from chronic pain, stress and anxiety, insomnia, muscle tension, overthinking, post-socializing exhaustion, and that feeling where your brain won’t stop narrating your life. The concentrate form makes these effects faster, stronger, and longer lasting.

Dank OG branded concentrates have placed in regional concentrate competitions, often recognized for Best Solvent Concentrate, Best Rosin, and Best Hybrid Extract. Dank OG carries the same award‑winning terpene backbone that judges (and seasoned smokers) consistently fall in love with. It’s that gas, pine, earth, and that unmistakable OG punch. 

Each batch of Dank OG, like any cannabis strain, can have slight differences depending on how it’s grown, harvested, cured, and extracted. Terpenes shift. Potency shifts. The vibe shifts. That’s part of the magic. And Dank OG itself has earned recognition in concentrate categories across multiple regional competitions. Its lineage, especially OG Kush, is where the trophy case really starts overflowing. Thanks for reading! And keep blazin.’

Affirmation: I honor the rest my body asks for, even when the world demands more.

Budtender Moment: Chronic Boom Strain Review

“Chronic Boom hit me so hard I thought the fireworks started early. But it was just my serotonin returning from war.”

 -Darla Jean “Stars‑and‑Sighs” McCoy, Unofficial Firework Safety Officer

Light the grill. Salute the sky. And tell Piper to stop chewing the tiny American flag again. We’re about to drop a full‑on Independence Day Budtender Moment for Chronic Boom. The strain that celebrates freedom by blowing up your stress like a backyard firework that may or may not be legal in Mississippi. Tap the bowl three times. Pledge allegiance to your peace. Whisper “let freedom ring” as you spark it.

Chronic Boom doesn’t just hit. It liberates. This is the strain that shows up wearing red‑white‑and‑blue Crocs, holding a sparkler, and saying, “Sweetheart, we’re overthrowing your anxiety today.” It’s patriotic. It’s chaotic. It’s the emotional emancipation proclamation you didn’t know you needed.

Chronic Boom is typically a balanced hybrid, leaning slightly indica‑dominant depending on the breederIt’s typically a cross between Chronic x Boom. Chronic is a cross between Northern Lights × Skunk × AK‑47. Boom is a cross between (Blueberry × OG Kush) × (Chemdawg × Skunk). And with all of that in there, there’s no way that this strain could fail. Together, they create a hybrid that feels like Thomas Jefferson wrote a Declaration of Chill.

Top terpenes for this strain are Limonene, Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and PinenePatients report relief from stress, low mood, fatigue, mild pain, and that “I’m one inconvenience away from seceding” feeling. It hits in phases that feel suspiciously like a patriotic parade. The Anthem Your brain stands up straight and salutes. You feel alert, lifted, and ready to declare independence from nonsense. The Fireworks Euphoria pops off in your chest like a grand finale. Everything is funny. Even the cat judging you. The Afterglow Warm body melt. Shoulders drop. You whisper, “I am my own country now.”

Chronic Boom is the Independence Day strain for anyone who wants to laugh, relax, and overthrow their inner tyrant. It’s bold, bright, and beautifully chaotic. And just like a Southern July 4th where someone inevitably yells, “Y’all watch this!” 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 release what weighs me down and celebrate the freedom to feel good.

2026 PTSD Strains Strong Enough to Make My Inner Child Take a Nap

“Some folks meditate. Some folks journal. I personally prefer a strain strong enough to make my trauma sit down and hush like it’s in church.”

-This Puzzled Life

 Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Today we’re not just talking about PTSD. We’re talking about the botanical emotional support squad that keeps half this nation from screaming into a throw pillow at 3 AM. These are the 2026 strains for PTSD. Plus, the classic strains that have held us down since the Bush administration.

Let me tell you something. If PTSD awareness had a mascot. It wouldn’t be a bald eagle, a ribbon, or some inspirational mountain silhouette. It would be a raccoon in a bathrobe holding a half‑charged vape pen and whispering, “You good?”

And before anybody starts with the “PTSD is only for veterans” , it is equal‑opportunity chaos. It hits veterans, yes. But it also hits childhood survivors, domestic violence survivors, medical trauma survivors, and people who grew up in households where the family motto was basically “We don’t talk about that.” And anyone who has ever tried to call customer service during Mercury retrograde.

My PTSD didn’t come from a battlefield. It came from childhood trauma, adult trauma, and a lifetime of being handed emotional assignments I, absolutely, did not sign up for. And guess what? It’s still real. It’s still valid. And it still deserves treatment that doesn’t come with a 47‑page lawsuit attached to it.

Which brings me to medical cannabis. It’s the only medication I’ve ever taken that didn’t require a blood test, a warning label, and a prayer circle. Big Pharma stays in court like it’s a hobby. Cannabis? Cannabis just wants you hydrated, fed, and emotionally stable enough to fold laundry.

And with the way this country is going, the news, the politics, the economy, the general vibe,  the rate of PTSD is about to skyrocket like it’s trying to win a prize. Let’s talk about the strains that are stepping up in 2026 to keep us from losing our entire minds.

2026 NEW STRAINS FOR PTSD

1. Moonwater Mercy (Hybrid)

(Blue Moonshine x Lavender Ghost x Watermelon Gelato)

This strain feels like someone put a weighted blanket on your soul. Expect calm, clarity, and the sudden ability to answer emails without crying. Perfect for: intrusive thoughts, doom spirals, and “Why did I walk into this room?”

2. Velvet Lantern (Indica‑leaning Hybrid)

(Purple Velvet × (Ghost OG × Honeydew Cream))

Soft. Warm. Comforting. Like being hugged by a grandmother who actually went to therapy. Great for nighttime PTSD symptoms and shutting down the brain’s late‑night conspiracy theories.

3. Solar Peach Reprieve (Sativa‑leaning Hybrid)

(Peach Rings × (Super Lemon Haze × Apricot Gelato))

Bright, uplifting, and shockingly functional. This one gives you energy without anxiety — a miracle, truly. Ideal for daytime PTSD management and remembering you’re a whole adult with things to do.

4. Quiet Harbor (Indica)

(Northern Lights × (Harbor Mist × Blue Zkittlez))

This strain is basically emotional noise‑canceling headphones. Your nervous system goes from “car alarm” to “gentle tide sounds” in about ten minutes.

5. Blue Ember Renewal (Balanced Hybrid)

(Blueberry × (Ember Kush × Renewal Cake))

A perfect 50/50 that smooths out mood swings, reduces hypervigilance, and helps you stop side‑eyeing every noise in the house like you’re in a horror movie.

CLASSIC STRAINS FOR PTSD (The OG Emotional Support Crew)

1. Granddaddy Purple

(Purple Urkle × Big Bud)

The strain that tucked half of America into bed. Heavy relaxation, deep calm, and the ability to sleep like you’re being paid for it.

2. Blue Dream

(Blueberry × Haze)

The people’s champion. Creative, calm, and uplifting without making your heart beat like a hummingbird on espresso.

3. Girl Scout Cookies (GSC)

(Durban Poison × OG Kush)

Euphoric, grounding, and perfect for when your brain is doing too much. A classic for emotional regulation and mood stabilization

4. Do‑Si‑Dos

(Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) × Face Off OG)

Deep body calm, mental quiet, and the sudden ability to forgive people you don’t even like. A PTSD staple.

5. OG Kush

(Chemdawg × Lemon Thai × Hindu Kush)

The original “I need to chill before I throw this whole house away” strain. Relaxing, grounding, and reliable.

If you’ve made it this far, you’ve just survived a guided tour through the 2026 PTSD strain lineup. The classics that raised us. And the emotional circus that is living in this country right now. PTSD is real. PTSD is widespread. PTSD is not limited to veterans. And pretending otherwise only hurts the millions of us who survived battles nobody saw.

But here’s the good news. We’re healing. We’re laughing. We’re finding relief in plant medicine that doesn’t come with a lawsuit or a side effect list longer than a CVS receipt. And if the world keeps spiraling the way it’s spiraling, at least we’ll have strains strong enough to keep us grounded, sane, and spiritually moisturized. Trauma may have shaped you, but cannabis is helping you rewrite the ending. Sage still burning. We’re healing anyway. Thanks for reading! Keep blazin.’

Affirmation: I am healing, hydrated, and held together by equal parts resilience and premium-grade cannabis. My peace is non‑refundable. My boundaries are laminate. And my nervous system is finally minding its business.

“People say stoners forget things. I say we remember what matters.”

-Unknown

Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Negative energy, go away. Today, I want to tell you about another strain that was one of the first strains that I tried. This packs a punch to the dome and its name is Skywalker OG.

Skywalker OG is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain. It is a cross between Skywalker x OG Kush. It’s a cross between Blueberry x Mazar-I-Sharif. OG Kush is a cross between Chemdawg x Lemon Thai x Hindu Kush. All of these strains are amazing while standing alone.

Top terpenes are Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene. Medical patients report relief from such conditions as chronic pain, insomnia and other sleep disorders, stress, anxiety, mood, and appetite stimulation. I also want to say that this strain is good for PTSD. This one will put you to sleep and helps a lot from chronic pain. If you need a strong strain to help suppress uncomfortable symptoms, this strain is for you. I smoke this as a vape cart. We know that the tastes are different based on it being a solvent  being use to make it. However, I can definitely taste the citrus and pine flavorings. But first make your nest and get comfortable. If you’re a novice smoker, please don’t get to bold. Because it will show you who the boss really is. Thanks for reading! Keep blazin.’

Affirmation: I excel at smoke tricks.

Budtender Moment: OG Kush Strain Review

“If you can’t remember my name, just call me ‘indica,’ I’ll still put you down.”

-Unknown

Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Negative energy go away. Today, I want to tell you about another strain that when you talk about cannabis this strain will likely be discussed. And it’s the classic and very wonderful OG Kush strain.

OG Kush is an 80/20 indica-dominant hybrid strain. It’s a cross between Chemdawg x Lemon Thai x Hindu Kush. Chemdawg is believed to be from Thai and Nepalese landrace strains. However, the exact lineage is unknown. And it’s also said to originate from bag seed found at a  Grateful Dead concert in the 90s. Lemon Thai is a cross between a classic Thai landrace strain. And it’s crossed by Dutch Flowers x Hawaiian sativa. Hindu Kush is a landrace strain from the Hindu mountain range. This strains origins start in Florida. The “OG” is sometimes called “Original Gangster, “ “Ocean Grown” or “Original Grower.” And it’s known to be a foundational strain. Matt “Bubba” Berger cultivated the strain from an accidental cross involving Lemon Thai x Chemdawg. Berger then brought the genetics to Los Angeles in 1996. Josh Del Rosso refined its cultivation and distribution thereby solidifying its legendary status.

Top terpenes in this strain are Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, and Pinene. Patients report relief from stress, anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, depression, and appetite loss. This strain is perfect for breakthrough pain. This strain is perfect for breakthrough pain. “Couchlock” is readily available even without being asked. So not one to use during the day unless you have time for the effects to wear off before doing an activity. Oh, and keep the Cheetos available for mass consumption. 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: The plant guides me toward clarity, not escape.

Budtender Moment: Leprechaun Larry Strain Review

“The plant teaches patience, presence, and perspective.”

-Unknown

Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Negative energy go away. Today, I want to tell you about a strain that is all about St. Patty’s Day. And it is called Leprechaun Larry.

Leprechaun Larry is sativa-dominant hybrid. It is a cross between Larry OG x Green Crack. Larry OG is a cross between OG Kush x SFV OG (San Fernando Valley OG). Green Crack is a cross between Skunk #1 x Afghani genetics. The taste profile consists of citrus peel, sweet herbs, and pine. This is a strain’s taste profile is one  that I have a difficult time of differentiating.

The top terpenes in this strain are Limonene, Terpinolene, and Pinene. Patients report experiencing better focus and creativity. And less stress, depression, mood swings, chronic fatigue, and ADD/ADHD. Make sure that you’re in a stable place with your anxiety before using this strain. Because it will definitely give you some pep in your step or a panic attack. Please keep in mind that each grow will be different and the flower effects, terpenes and genetics will differ depending on which region of the country that the plant is grown. Thanks for reading!

Budtender Moment: Tiger’s Blood Vape Cart Strain Review

“Marijuana is proof that plants are smarter than people give them credit for.”

-Unknown

Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Negative energy go away. Today, I want to tell you about a strain called Tiger’s Blood.

Tiger’s Blood is an indica-dominant hybrid. Many sources trace Tiger’s Blood back to OG Kush genetics. Some product listings suggest it may be bred from Tiger Paw × OG Kush. In the cannabis world, strain genetics can differ between breeders and regional markets. This means that Tiger’s Blood may not have one universally accepted pedigree. And like the snow cone flavoring it’s a mixture of berry tastes.

The top terpenes in this strain are Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Limonene, Pinene, and Linalool. Patients report relief from chronic pain management, muscle relaxation, inflammation relief, stress, anxiety, relaxation, sleep, appetite stimulation, muscle spasms and cramps. This particular strain I’m using in a vape. And I really like it. It’s one that I can use on the go but without the “couch lock.” Thanks for reading! Keep blazin’.

Affirmation: Cannabis helps me slow down, listen inward, and breathe.
