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!
If you’ve been waiting to see an old favorite pop back up — or want to try a few to find your next go-to — this is the time.
What makes a Cannabis Strain a “Classic”
Many of the strains we call classics have OG lineage, genetics that shaped today’s cannabis landscape. While the industry is constantly chasing the next highest THC percentage, classic strains tend to deliver something different:
- Balanced effects
- Complex terpene profiles
- A high that feels complete, not one-dimensional
They’ve earned their reputation, but they can be hard to find.
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
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.
