Blue Dream
HybridTHC 22–22%
Possibly the most famous Californian strain of all time, Blue Dream provides patients potent pain relief along with a creative and uplifting high.
This phenomenal bud is a combination of the well-loved west coast Haze strain and the insanely potent and aromatic Blueberry strain.
When combined, these strains produced a bud that has Top Tier THC levels (as it tests around 22% THC), a very pleasant and uplifting high, and a taste that is simply irresistible.
These buds have a potent berry aroma and flavor, and their round medium-sized nugs have a delightful pale green hue and a shining coat of translucent trichomes.
Gelato
HybridTHC 19–25%
Sometimes called "Larry Bird", Gelato is an indica-dominant Bay Area native that was created when Cookie Farm Genetics blended Thin Mint GSC with Sunset Sherbet.
Gelato's chunky, trichome-covered forest green buds are said to be powerfully high in THC levels, and each of these flowers is adorned with a few short auburn pistils.
Patients who try Gelato describe this strain as heavily physically relaxing, though this strain leaves its users minds relatively clear and able to work on creative personal projects.
If you expected Gelato to have a yummy taste you would be right, as this strain is remarkably sweet, boasting flavors of ripened berries and sherbet complemented by the strain's refreshing mint aroma.
Do-Si-Dos
HybridTHC 19–30%
Getting to Know the Strain
Do-Si-Dos is an indica-dominant hybrid that resulted when Girl Scout Cookies was bred with Face/Off OG. It is considered a 50 percent hybrid.
Do-Si-Dos has tested above 29 percent THC, so you can be sure that this will be a potent medication. The average is usually between 19-30 percent. In contrast, the CBD content is almost zero, something to keep in mind.
Appearance
This strain's buds are stupendously colorful, with calyxes in hues of deep eggplant and sage of forest green and a host of rusty orange pistils, all coated with the dust of chunky white trichomes. That deep eggplant purple is not always present in the leaves. It arises when anthocyanins, a type of pigment found in the strain's genetics, are activated by the cold as they grow.
The buds themselves are small, sticking together in small clusters that resemble popcorn. As expected from a strain with indica roots, Do-Si-Dos has dense flower structures, including small leaves that tightly curl inward toward the central stems.
Effects
Do-Si-Dos delivers a completely sedative effect that soothes the body while uplifting the mind. Most people experience happiness, sleepiness, and sedation when smoking Do-Si-Dos.
Its relaxing effects may relieve some aspects of insomnia, chronic pain conditions like arthritis and migraines as well as anxiety, nausea, and stress. Those using medical cannabis can appreciate the analgesic effects on pain and aches, which work on chronic or temporary conditions. You may experience relief on conditions such as lupus, arthritis, or injuries. The anti-inflammatory properties of Do-Si-Dos can help with nausea and headaches. The calming effects can help provide temporary relief from depression and stress.
The effects of Do-Si-Dos tend to last longer than the typical marijuana strain. You will likely notice an increase in your cerebral functioning at the same time that your upper face starts to tingle.
Smoking Do-Si-Dos can help your thoughts flow and assist with your concentration on analytical or task-based work. It is also great for creativity, especially when brainstorming. You will not feel too buzzed thanks to the calming body high that occurs simultaneously.
Those who smoke this strain typically notice progressive relaxation spreading throughout their core and limbs. This is great for relaxing with music or a drink. The vibe from Do-So-Dos can also be social, leading to laughs and great conversation.
Because Do-Si-Dos provides physical and mental stimulation simultaneously, many smokers appreciate its effect during activities that require full-body coordination. This may include dancing or exercising. In certain settings, it even applies to sex.
Keep in mind that as you increase the dosage or the "high" advances further, there is an increased risk of couch lock. The way that Do-Si-Dos ends in immobilizing calm makes it ideal for smoking in the early evening or late afternoon when you will not have any commitments after the "high" advances to the couch lock stage.
Aroma and Flavor
This strain gives off a pungent earthy aroma that tastes like a tray of sweet, fresh-baked cookies. The smell from the flowers is overly sweet, almost to the point of fermentation. That earthy aroma comes up in undertones. When you grind the buds, you will notice some of the skunk smell that Do-Si-Dos inherits from its OG Kush lineage.
When you combust Do-Si-Dos, expect an acrid, harsh smoke. The smoke tastes skunky yet fruity when you exhale. Discreetness and Do-Si-Dos do not usually go together as the pungency of this strain can travel far.
Other Useful Information
Those familiar with Do-Si-Dos say that the best time to use it will be the afternoon. This way, you will not find yourself couch-locked with important things to do.
You should consider using a different strain of marijuana if you have a low THC tolerance or are prone to paranoia or panic. This is a result of the recursive thinking inspired in the early stages of the Do-Si-Dos "high."
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.
Master Kush
HybridCreated by Dutch White Label Seed Company, Master Kush is an extremely popular indica-dominant strain that is probably derived from a combination of Skunk and Hindu Kush.
Master Kush's buds are known to be large, round, and extremely dense, each olive green flower doused with shimmering trichomes and a set of bright auburn pistils.
At first, Master Kush is said to deliver a completely relaxing full-body buzz that leaves the mind uplifted and soaring through a clear, creative high.
Like most kush strains, Master Kush has an earthy pungency with notes of warm spice, and when smoked or vaped this strain will take on a sweeter rich, buttery flavor.
SFV OG
HybridHailing from the San Fernando Valley that this strain got its name from, SFV OG is a potent sativa-dominant child of OG Kush that was created by Cali Connection.
Those who have experience SFV OG's effects say that the strain is uplifting, bringing a calm sense of cerebral focus to its user while giving them a relaxing body buzz.
SFV OG flowers are absolutely gorgeous, each fluffy bud individually decorated with long, winding, orange pistils and a sparkling dew of trichomes.
These attractive buds each have a pungent, earthy scent and an intriguing pine and lemon flavor.
