This month, we’re spotlighting a few strains we think of as our greatest hits: classic standbys that make it into your regular rotation because they’re reliably good. In this blog we’ll cover some of our favorites!
What makes a Cannabis Strain a “Classic”
Because we said so!
Kidding — many of the strains we call “classics” have OG lineage. OG genetics played a big role in shaping today’s cannabis landscape.
The cannabis world of today is pretty interested in what the next best genetics are (new! New! new!) and how potent they can be. Classic strains may not always be the highest in THC, but they are more likely to have a complex terp and cannabinoid profile and a more balanced experience. That’s why they’re some of our favorites.
Classic Cannabis Strains to Try
Grandpa’s Stash (Sativa)
A little more mellow, a little more grounded. Grandpa’s Stash has a relaxing, end-of-day feel. The kind of strain that fits a slow evening.
Grapefruit Durban (Sativa)
Grapefruit Durban is a strain to reach for when you want something upbeat without feeling scattered. We’ve had folks describe it like having a cup of coffee after smoking all day. It’s a sativa-dominant cross of Grapefruit and Durban Poison packs a true sweet and sour citrus scent and a pink grapefruit flavor with a little spice at the end.
Lemon G: High CBD (Sativa)
This cross of the legendary G13 and Northern Lights has a delicate flavor and strong lemon scent, and balanced effects that don’t feel overwhelming. It’s great for first-timers and is unique for being high in CBD, and gives a functional, happy, and talkative high, without the discomfort that can come from high-THC sativas.
White Poison (Sativa)
White Poison is a glittering sativa-dominant cross of Durban Poison and The White. Bright, citrus-forward, and energizing. This strain can be relaxing without sedation, and pairs well with any time of day.
