Cultivars

PURPLE KUSH

Purple Kush is known to have a sedative and euphoric effect on patients helping relieve pain, reduce stress, and encourage relaxation. It reigns from the Oakland area of California. Sweet and earthy in smell, its typical terpene profile is high in linalool, the same calming terpene found in lavender. This often makes Purple Kush a good fit for patients who may have trouble falling or staying asleep.

SUPER LEMON HAZE

Super Lemon Haze is a hybrid cross between Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze. The terpene profile that gives off this cultivar’s famously strong citrus and earthy smell, and lemony taste varies, but it is always high in terpinolene. Terpinolene is used as a citrus flavor or fragrance in everyday products like soaps, lotions, and even perfumes. Although soothing, this is not for patients looking for sleep, but it is often used for energy. It can help fight against depression and is also good for creativity and social activities.

GRAPE APE

Grape Ape got its name by smelling so much like grapes. Often consumed for relaxation, its most common terpenes include myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene. This combination of terpenes, along with being THC dominant, makes it popular among patients wanting to relieve pain, stress, or anxiety.

SOUR DIESEL

Sour Diesel is known for having a dominant diesel like smell, wrapped around hints of lemony citrus. This is due in part to being high in the terpenes caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene. Typically used for energy and motivation, this cultivar has been said to have a quick onset of cerebral effects, helping reduce stress and improve mood, leading to symptomatic relief from depression.

BLUEBERRY

Blueberry is a legendary cultivar with a history dating back to the 1970s, when DJ Short, an American breeder known for experimenting with exotic landrace cultivars, began working with it. Known for being high in THC, with sweet smells and flavors of blueberries, it took the prize for Best Indica at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2000. Enjoyed by connoisseurs and patients for having such long lasting effects, it’s most commonly used for treating pain, stress, and anxiety.
