Black Raspberry

Black Raspberry Type: indica-leaning hybrid Ancestry: Goji OG, Raspberry F2, and Wookie 15 Creators: Bodhi Seeds THC Levels: up to 24% Terpenes: pinene, caryophyllene Aroma and Taste: A tantalizing scent of spicy raspberries, with notes of earth and herbs and hints of lavender. The taste is pretty much more of the same, minus the lavender. Appearance: Small, compact, almost cute buds, mostly round, although they also come in cone, spade, and even anchor shapes; light-green, curled-up flowers, thick copper pistils, and generous trichome frosting. Recreational Effects Black Raspberry is a very well-balanced and versatile strain, and even though it’s meant to lean on the indica side, you could say it’s the sativa of indicas. A lot of users even enjoy it during the day and use it as a productivity booster – experienced users that is, who know usually less is more with strains as potent as this one. The rush of euphoria is almost as instant as the toke itself. You inhale the good, exhale the bad. Worries, negativity, it all dissipates in floating, jolly raspberry clouds that come in shapes limited only by your imagination. Black Raspberry is a great strain for creatives, especially since it doesn’t just get the creative juices flowing, but channels them productively trough a prolonged sense of focus. This strain also lends itself nicely to social gatherings, loosening people up and creating a trampoline for conversations to hop over the small-talk barrier. In that spirit, brainstorming sessions or podcasts can be a thing of beauty with Black Raspberry. All these effects tend to be more akin to sativa-dominant strains, so their prominent expression here is a testament to Black Raspberry’s versatility and well-roundedness. Its indica side naturally takes over once the euphoria starts mellowing out. The plateau feels like a relaxing field where you can just lay down and let your body melt away while you watch movies, read, eat your ass off, and just be blissful and at peace. Medicinal Benefits The medicinal realm is arguably where Black Raspberry’s indica genetics shine through the brightest, making this strain the best of both, or rather all, worlds – indica and sativa, recreational and medicinal. The rush of glee and happiness is clearly a powerful force to battle mental disorders like depression and anxiety with, as is the influx of ideas, be it more of a temporary distraction. The body high, fueled by the high THC levels, is definitely powerful enough to alleviate significant body pain, muscle soreness, inflammation, migraines, etc. Furthermore, nausea relief is one of Black Raspberry’s most cited therapeutic benefits. The munchies are also strong, as is usually the case with such tasty, tart strains that tickle the senses, which can help remedy a clinical loss of appetite.

Blackberry Kush Strain

Blackberry Kush Strain Type: 20:80 sativa:indica Ancestry: This is somewhat contentious. Most believe Afgani to be one of the parents, with Blackberry, DJ Short Blueberry, and Bubba Kush being the other main suspects. THC Content: 16-20% Terpenes: linalool, limonene, pinene, uhumulene, caryophyllene Appearance: Dense, cone- or spade-shaped, dark, green and purple buds with copper pistils and snowy trichome coating. Aroma and Taste: A distinctive cocktail of blackberries and diesel. The berries are particularly palpable in the smell and inhale, while the exhale brings out the Blackberry Kush’s earthy, hashy side that’s reminiscent of jet fuel. Recreational Effects If any cannabis stain is going to get you relaxed, it’s Blackberry Kush, an epitome of indica’s best practices. The relaxation starts off in the body, making it completely numb and sedated soon enough, almost as if it’s under anesthesia. Needless to say, the couch-lock borders with a binding spell. Soon after the body is under Blackberry Kush’s anesthetic spell, the effects spread to the head, but besides relaxation, there’s a generous dash of euphoria and introspection to the mix, which makes the difference and turns the experience into a true recreational activity rather than a simple rest. Some users report that Blackberry Kush improves their focus – not in terms of focusing on a task at hand and/or mundane work for a prolonged period of time, but focus as in the crystallization of a problem, especially a creative one; an improved, bird’s-eye view that reveals the full picture from various angles. In that sense, Blackberry Kush can be characterized as one of those strains that promote empathy and open-mindedness. Blackberry Kush is best suited for engrossing, yet fairly undemanding recreational activities that allow some leeway for the mind to drift in and out, like listening to music, playing video games, watching TV, etc. Medicinal Benefits With such a strong body high obviously comes pain relief, which is indeed one of Blackberry Kush’s hallmarks. The strain is helpful for muscle cramps as well. Blackberry Kush is also famous for boosting appetite, so those who are clinically unable to summon it can benefit from the munchies. Finally, but only chronologically, the pleasant, sedated state that progressively takes over the entire being is a great aid for insomniacs.

Blue Cheese

Blue Cheese Strain Type: 80:20 indica:sativa Ancestry: Blueberry (indica) and Cheese (hybrid) Creators: Big Budda Seeds, who are also behind Cheese, a UK native which is a Skunk #1 phenotype. However, Barney’s Farm and Royal Queen Seeds, both based in the Netherlands, developed their own takes on Blue Cheese. THC Content: 15-20% Terpenes: terpinolene, caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene, pinene Appearance: Sticky, dense buds sprinkled with trichomes, with tightly wound flowers that seem to span the entire green palette, interlaced with sandy and copper pistils. Aroma and Taste: A mouth-watering interplay between cheese and blueberries. The blueberry sweetness takes over upon combustion and especially inhalation, whereas the exhale leaves a sour, musky aftertaste. Recreational Effects Blue Cheese is one of the gentlest heavy-hitting strains one could hope for. In fact, it’s not really that heavy-hitting to begin with, let alone a one-toke knock-out artist like other indica-dominant strains, but what it “lacks” in strength, it makes up for in precision, balance, and intelligence, so to speak. Blue Cheese doesn’t engulf you in the signature indica thick, sticky haze. On the contrary, the relaxation is like aerated chocolate, light, gentle, bubbly, sweet, but not overwhelming, almost sensual. The effects are very gradual, and as your body becomes increasingly floatier and loose, your mind follows to a state of mild and clear-headed euphoria, joy, and bliss. In moderation, this strain doesn’t even produce couchlock, and because of its uncharacteristic and very balanced set of attributes, it’s one of the few indica-dominant strains that can be enjoyed even during the day. The sweet relaxation and bubbliness that trickle through the body and mind also make Blue Cheese quite the aphrodisiac. Medicinal Benefits Blue Cheese is a great and very rare option for people who want to ward off anxiety and depression during the day without having to practically knock themselves out or render their mind numb. Uncharacteristically of indicas, it can also help people who struggle with retaining focus. Blue Cheese will also make you crave actual cheese and everything and anything else you have lying around, so those with a lack of appetite should definitely give it a go.

Blue City Diesel

Blue City Diesel Type: hybrid, leaning ever so slightly on the indica side Ancestry: Blueberry and NYC Diesel Creators: Breeder’s Choice THC Levels: 17-23% Terpenes: caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene Aroma and Taste: A gentle berry aroma and a pleasant, smooth smoke to match, with hints of diesel and even cotton candy. Appearance: The buds are shaped like something between an Arizona Cypress and a Mediterranean pine tree. They sport beautiful blue and purple hues along with some dark green leaves, against which stand out amber pistils and sparkling trichomes. Recreational Effects Blue City Diesel wraps you in a little bubble, like the soap bubbles you used to blow as a kid. It soars like children’s laughter and then just floats, light, happy, pure, and carefree. Blue City Diesel is one of the most well balanced hybrids you’d find. An unequivocal testament to this balance is the fact that it’s hailed as a “wake and bake strain,” even though on paper, its genetics lean slightly on the indica side. It’s the kind of strain with the power to fully turn a bad day around, or set a positive tone from the get-go that continues all day long. Simply put, Blue City Diesel makes you happy. Smiley. Giggly. Jovial. Relaxed, in fact, very relaxed, yet invigorated mentally and physically. It’s the synthesized feeling of true idyll, whatever that may mean to you personally. The body high is also extremely pleasant, as it’s a tingly, relaxing buzz that doesn’t settle into a couchlock. On the contrary, if you’re the sporty type, you could definitely work out on this strain. Its light, free flowing, airy feel would make it perfect for the Jiu Jitsu community. You could do almost anything on Blue City Diesel (within reason), including work, especially if you’re a more experienced user and/or have consumed in moderation. Medicinal Benefits Blue City Diesel is a very versatile strain from a medical standpoint, too. If any strain can help with mental disorders, it’s Blue City Diesel. The gleeful disposition it unlocks is like sunshine breaking through the despondent clouds, anxiety, and any other clinical stress variation are tamed or even put on mute, boxed and locked in the closet. Where the indica side of Blue City Diesel shines through is pain relief. For a strain that doesn’t induce couchlock, its analgesic effects are very strong, and many users report it being particularly beneficial for nerve pain. It’s also perfect for muscle soreness and tension, as it makes you very loose and light. Blue City Diesel is also somewhat famous for NOT giving you the munchies, which makes it a unique option for patients who want all the other medical benefits minus yet another reason to eat.
