A Guide on the Popular Cannabis Strains

In the US, 49% of adults say they’ve tried marijuana before. Cannabis is becoming more of a mainstream and accepted thing to partake in, especially with its legalization in many states.

Not only does marijuana have recreational value, but it also has medical benefits too. Because it’s so versatile, this is why people from all walks of life consume it.

Not every strain has the same effects though. By knowing which ones to use, you’ll be able to fully enjoy the benefits of cannabis.

But there are tons of other marijuana strains waiting for you, such as Runtz strain, Blue Dream, Wedding Cake and others.

Read on for the popular cannabis strains you should try.

OG Kush

This strain has been around since the 1990s; it was cultivated in Florida and is a long-standing classic!

OG Kush is the result of breeding Chemdawg with Lemon Thai and Hindu Kush. Thanks to the Lemon Thai, this strain has some notes of lemon in it!

This hybrid strain is well-balanced and can make you happy and relaxed. People typically get the munchies too, so have snacks prepared.

Sour Diesel

Sour Diesel is an Indica sativa strain that was also developed in the 1990s. While people aren’t 100% sure of how it came to be, it’s suspected that Sour Diesel is a cross of Chemdawg and either Super Skunk, Skunk #1, or Northern Lights.

Those who consume Sour Diesel say it can help with stress and pain, as well as depression. Like practically all other strains, it can also give you a euphoric feeling.

Girl Scout Cookies

The Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) strain is a hybrid but is indica-dominant. It’s a cross of OG Kush and Durban Poison.

If you want a quick hit of euphoria, then this is the strain to choose. Once that wears off, you’ll enjoy a full-body high.

Do note that the THC level for GSC is 19%, which is quite high. We don’t recommend trying this strain until you’re more experienced with marijuana.

White Widow

The White Widow strain is a hybrid of indica and sativa. It was first created in the Netherlands but quickly spread all over the world due to how potent it is.

This cannabis strain’s buds are white and have thick crystal resin. Plus, it’s a very strong strain; hence its name.

People who consume this strain say you’ll initially feel energetic and euphoric. Then, you’ll settle into a nice and smooth body high.
