The Greenest Strains to Celebrate - 10 St. Patrick's Day Strains

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! This time of year, it’s time to go green, in clothes, beer, food, and cannabis. Sure, most strains are already green, but some just fit the season more than others. If you’re having an all green party for St. Paddy’s Day, here are some strains to pick to keep the green, lucky spirit alive! Also, be careful out there, smoke responsibly, and wear green so you don’t get pinched.

Green Crack

SATIVA

Feelings: Energetic, Talkative, Focused

Strain Flavors: Mango, Citrus, Spicy/Herbal

THC 17% | CBG 1%

Yes, this strain name might sound rather intimidating, but don’t worry. It’s just a strong sativa strain. Green Crack (also known as Green Crush and Mango Crack) was created by crossing Skunk #1 and an unknown indica strain. Most people who favor this strain enjoy its energizing effects. Leafly reports that, “few strains compare to Green Crack’s sharp energy and focus as it induces an invigorating mental buzz that keeps you going throughout the day.” If you choose this strain, I’d recommend using it in the morning, it would be great for a wake and bake.

Green Goblin

SATIVA

Feelings: Giggly, Energetic, Focused

Strain Flavors: Menthol, Diesel, Pine

THC 14% | CBG 1%

If you want to be talking to yourself like Willem Dafoe in Spiderman, this is the strain for you! Just kidding, this strain won’t have you developing a second evil personality, but it will have you feeling full of energy. Green Goblin is a sibling of Green Crack, both were created by using Skunk #1, but Green Goblin’s other strain was Northern Lights. Some versions of the strain also use Sour Diesel. If you want to try out Green Goblin, be prepared for a musky, skunk smell that will leave you happy, dreamy, and sometimes creative!

She Hulk

SATIVA

Feelings: Dizzy, Anxious, Dry Mouth

Strain Flavors: Blueberry, Pineapple, Nutty

THC 16% | CBG 1%

SMASH!! If you’re looking for a strain to keep you awake, feel creative, and prepared for a long day, She Hulk is your girl. She Hulk is a sativa strain that smells like creamy citrus and earthy musk. She Hulk was created by crossing Bruce Banner #3 with an unknown strain, making a lesser known but well loved strain. People who have used this strain reported getting into giggle fits for hours with their buddies. Sounds good for a party! And you can watch the new show while you smoke it.

Acapulco Gold

SATIVA

Feelings: Dry eyes, Paranoid, Dry mouth

Strain Flavors: Coffee, Honey, Spicy/Herbal

THC 18% | CBG 1%

While green might be the first color you think of for St. Paddy’s Day, gold is probably second. Acapulco Gold is one of the rarest strains out there. Some people have called this strain the 5 star restaurant of cannabis. If you want to find some real Acapulco Gold, just know that it comes from the region around Acapulco, Mexico, so it might be a bit on the pricey side. But, hey, you’re paying for gold! They say that when you break down the cannabis the smell of burnt toffee fills the room, sounds delicious! If you’re able to find some, consider yourself lucky and savor every hit.

Green Kush

INDICA

Feelings: Energetic, Sleepy, Hungry

Strain Flavors: Flowery, Tar, Apple

THC 18% | CBG 1%

Looking for an upbeat feeling that comes with some couch lock? Green Kush is the strain for you. Green Kush is a slightly indica dominant strain that is actually one of Green Crack’s children (and Green Goblin’s nephew). Green Kush is a cross between Green Crack and Purple Kush. If this sounds like a good strain for you, be prepared for some sticky fingers and a lovely flowery scent. People who have used this strain say that it makes them feel euphoric right up until they get a great night's sleep.

Green Goddess

HYBRID

Feelings: Aroused, Uplifted, Focused

Strain Flavors: Rose, Spicy/Herbal, Grapefruit

THC 17% | CBD 0%

Just like the yummy salad, this Green Goddess will have you feeling fresh and ready for the day. Green Goddess is another strain in the Green Crack family, his sister actually. Green Goddess is a cross between Skunk #1 and Sweet Leaf Indica. This strain is known for causing feelings of euphoria and arousal, which makes sense considering it smells of roses and red grapefruit. Some users have said that Green Goddess is their go to strain for listening to music at home and in concerts. Others have said that they use this strain to fight off the stresses of life.

Emerald OG

INDICA

Feelings: Sleepy, Relaxed, Hungry

Strain Flavors: Earthy, Citrus, Lime

THC 20% | CBD 0%

The greenest of all greens, emerald. Emerald OG is a classic strain that comes out of California. It was created by crossing Fire OG and Emerald Diesel resulting in a strong hybrid. Although it's strong, it has a very light flowery smell with pungent citrus and melon flavors. This strain is what you would want to use to end the night. It is known to create deeply relaxing effects and give users a great night's sleep, while fixing a headache if you had one.

Lucky Charms

HYBRID

Feelings: Creative, Uplifted, Focused

Strain Flavors: Sweet, Tree fruit, Tropical

THC 23% | CBD 0%

Just like the cereal, this strain is magically delicious and goes great with marshmallows. Lucky Charms (also known as LC or Bodhi’s Charms) is a middle of the road hybrid strain created by breeder Bodhi Seeds. It is a cross between The White and Appalachia. When you see this strain, it will be covered in sugary, sparkly resin and smell like sweet, tropical fruits. If this sounds like a strain for you, be prepared to feel focused, happy, and ready to take on the day.

Pot of Gold

INDICA

Feelings: Hungry, Sleepy, Uplifted

Strain Flavors: Skunk, Pear, Honey

THC 15% | CBD 0%

At the end of the rainbow, I hope that the pot of gold is full of golden cannabis. The Pot of Gold strain or Pot O Gold, depending on your preference, is a 2nd prize at the 2003 Cannabis Cup. While that was over 20 years ago, the strain still holds up strong against the new more popular strains. Pot of Gold is a sticky, icky strain that is said to be difficult to break up by hand, but once you do, you’re in for a good time. People who used Pot of Gold reported feeling a major case of the munchies, feeling uplifted, and getting a great night sleep with a full tummy after smoking. If you want a night like that, grab some of this strain and smell some fruity, musky chunky nugs.

Rainbow Runtz

INDICA

Feelings: Hungry, Sleepy, Relaxed

Strain Flavors: Pear, Vanilla, Rose

THC 25% | CBD 0%

Although St. Paddy’s Day is mainly when green rainbows have always been associated with it. Rainbow Runtz is an indica strain that will leave you relaxed and ready to start a new hobby. Rainbow Runtz is a double cross of Zkittlez and DoSiDos. Most users say you can use this strain at any time of day and have a good time. But, this strain is known to be extremely potent. It could leave you in a couch coma if you’re not too careful. If that sounds like something you’d really enjoy, grab a cold drink and pick up some Rainbow Runtz for a solid stoned out night.
