Lavender Haze (AA)

Being an indica dominant strain, Lavender Haze has a 60:40 indica/sativa ratio. Lavender Haze is a cross between Lavender and G-13 Haze. The buds are covered with vibrant and exotic purple leaves. The strain is recommended for use in the afternoon and has an exquisite aroma and taste to go along with it. It has a floral scent that will remind you of lavender blooms. As for the taste, it is quite similar to Afghani Kush and should keep you coming back for seconds. A lot of patients feel energized after smoking the strain and will feel creative and more talkative than usual. The high is able to uplift your mood after a hit or two. The strain is perfect for patients who suffer from depression and insomnia. Additionally, it has been used to treat chronic pains and aches as well. But then again, the medical applications are plenty but it varies from patient to patient. Many individuals are known to have been able to treat other medical problems like anxiety disorders, nausea and even anorexia.

Cheddar Cheese (AA)

It’s hard to find much of any information on this rare cheese strain. There seems to be some confusion as to exactly where it comes from, and the term “cheddar cheese” may be used to refer to other, unrelated strains. The real thing has a 50:50 ratio of sativa to indica. That means this strain should deliver a mix of mind and body effects, ideal for relieving daytime stress. CBD levels are low in Cheddar Cheese, so it isn’t the best choice for treating conditions that respond to that chemical. But THC levels are high, making this a potent choice for mood disorders and anxiety. Purportedly a descendant of Skunk #1 and an original Afghani strain, it’s a close cousin of the original UK Cheese. Like that strain, Cheddar Cheese has a sharp, skunky cheese aroma and flavor. The buds have a light green appearance with dark orange hairs and a thick layer of glistening trichomes. Side effects include dry mouth and bloodshot eyes, with limited reports of paranoia and dizziness. Found mostly in its home country, this strain is a local specialty that isn’t common elsewhere. You may find original Cheese mislabeled as Cheddar Cheese, but these two strains are not the same.

Grape Ape (AA)

Grape Ape is a mostly indica crossbreed of Mendocino Purps, Skunk, and original Afghani. It shares their potency, with THC levels as high as 17-21%, which makes it a relatively strong – but not overpowering – tool for treating disease. As its name suggests, Grape Ape tastes and smells like sweet grapes, with a subtle berry flavor. Like its Purple ancestors, this strain develops a deep purple bud and leaves to go with its grape-like qualities. It’s most useful in treating chronic pain, including migraines and arthritis, though it also helps relieve anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The high is profoundly relaxing, a full-body experience that can lead to strong couch-lock and deep sleep. This is definitely a nighttime strain, as it can have a near-comatose effect. But the high can also be euphoric and focused, with a clear mind. Dry mouth is common, as are red eyes. Most easily found on the West Coast, in Colorado, and in Michigan, this popular strain can also be purchased across the country, on both legal and black markets. It’s a relatively easy strain to grow.
Indica

Champagne Kush (AA)

Though not especially potent in terms of THC, Champagne Kush (aka Champagne) is an effective means of treating several medical conditions: chronic pain, depression, anxiety, loss of appetite, and nausea, among others. THC makes up no more than 15% of this strain in available tests. CBD content is much lower, less than 1%. In other words, this strain is not a good choice as a front-line treatment for epilepsy or other conditions that require that chemical. Champagne Kush is an even blend of sativa and indica (50:50 sativa/indica ratio), the offspring of Hash Plant, an indica-dominant strain, and the original Hindu Kush, an Afghani indica. The indica and sativa effects are balanced, creating a euphoric, tingling body buzz with increased sociability and happiness. This strain gets its name from its unique, champagne-like aroma and flavor, though there are additional notes of sweetness, flowers, and soil. The bud is bright green with long orange strands and a light frosting of crystals. Cottonmouth and bloodshot eyes are the only widely reported adverse effects, though dizziness, headaches, and paranoia are also possible. Champagne Kush is popular on the West Coast, in Arizona, and in New Mexico.

Big Bud (AA)

Big Bud is an Indica dominant hybrid (85% Indica/15% Sativa) strain, crowned the overall winner of the 1989 High Times Cannabis Cup. This strain was named for its enormously oversized buds and enormous yields for growers, as well as its moderate THC level of 18%.
