Tangie
HybridA superbly aromatic sativa-dominant cannabis strain, Tangie was developed by DNA Genetics and is allegedly almost a recreation of Tangerine Dream, combining Skunk with California Orange.
The flowers produced by Tangie's prolific plants tend to be large and completely fluffy, with each bud coated with sparkling trichomes and patches of brick red pistils.
When you smoke Tangie, you will be stunned at the refreshing taste of tangerine, and their aroma is similarly sweet and tropical.
Tangie's effects have been known as very uplifting, and this strain tends to deliver an energetic and creative buzz.
AK-47
HybridA mellow high with a cerebral buzz that can last all day, AK-47 packs a euphoric punch.
AK-47 can definitely also knock you out, as this multiple Cannabis Cup winning strain is bred from Afghani, Thai, Colombian and Mexican strains for a high THC content and a strong sativa effect.
The buds are generously dusted in fuzzy white trichomes and small orange pistils.
AK-47 contains about 1% of the terpene Humulene, commonly found in Hops and Ginseng, which has a powerful anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect and is a strong appetite suppressant.
Purple Haze
HybridTHC 24–24%
A mostly sativa strain, Purple Haze is a hybrid that combines Haze and Purple Thai into a powerfully invigorating and giggly hybrid.
Originally named after Jimi Hendrix's hit from 1967, this strain's flowers produce an earthy aroma that is surprisingly fruity and a similar flavor that blends candy-like grape, blueberry, and blackberry notes.
Expect Purple Haze's effects to deliver a thoroughly tingly body buzz that provides an energetic effect, which is accompanied by a sociable and talkative cerebral high.
Purple Haze's flowers are long, fluffy, and lime green, and each of them possesses an array of chunky trichomes and long, curly pistils.
Chemdawg
HybridTHC 17–24%
Chemdawg is a superb strain with mysterious roots, as no one is quite sure which strains it came from.
What is known about this strain, though, is that it produces a profoundly euphoric cerebral effect that completely calms each patient's mind and body.
If you need another reason to love this strain, Chemdawg is the parent to some of the most popular cannabis strains of all time, like Sour Diesel and OG Kush.
Chemdawg's buds are notoriously pungent, producing an unignorable diesel aroma, and these fluffy spade-shaped buds are usually a very pale green color, in part due to the frosty layer of trichomes that coats the entire surface of each of these buds.
Cinderella 99
HybridSometimes referred to as Cindy or occasionally C99, this sativa-dominant hybrid of Cinderella 88 and Princess was developed by the breeders Brothers Grimm.
One of the best things about this strain is how fun it is to grow, as it is a very fast flowering plant that buds in about 50 days, and produces a high yield of slender but very dense colas.
Cinderella 99's buds are very large, bright green and bursting with a sweet citrus aroma.
Patients say that this strain produces a particularly severe cerebral effect, said to deliver a huge euphoric head rush that can leave some users feeling paranoid.
Alien OG
HybridTHC 25–25%
A very popular strain from the Bay Area, Alien OG is an indica-dominant hybrid of the popular Alien Kush and Tahoe OG.
This strain is one of the highest THC strains available, as it regularly tests above 25%, and is therefore not the best choice for someone who has a low tolerance.
Because of its hybridized effect, the euphoric cerebral buzz of this strain is coupled with a heavy, tingly, and sedative body feel.
Because of its high potency of the anti-inflammatory terpene Humulene, this strain is great for treating migraines, nausea, and chronic pain.
Godfather OG
HybridTHC 27–27%
Godfather OG got its name from being possibly the strongest OG-derivative, as this indica-dominant hybrid Alpha OG and XXX OG is one of the most potent hybrids of all time.
Some tests put this strain as high as 27% THC, so it's no wonder why Godfather OG won Best Indica at the 2013 Los Angeles High Times Cannabis Cup.
Patients have explained that Godfather OG is a very sedative strain, delivering unmatched physical relaxation while brightening the mind, leaving its user feeling creative and happy.
Godfather OG's buds produce a musky, spicy aroma, but when smoked you will taste a sweet grape flavor that is shockingly nice.
NYC Diesel
HybridSoma Sacred Seeds introduced the world to NYC Diesel, a mostly sativa strain that blends a Hawaiian and Afghani hybrid with Sour Diesel Genetics.
NYC Diesel's buds tend to be particularly fluffy and olive green in color, their trichome-covered calyxes interrupted by thick peach pistils.
Expect NYC Diesel's effects to deliver uplifting head effects that induce a creative buzz and deliver powerful physical relief.
As one might expect, NYC Diesel buds smell an awful lot like earthy, sour diesel, and their taste is shockingly sweet with a punch of sour grapefruit flavor.
