THCV Strains

Posted by CANNASaver on Saturday, 18 September 2021 in Thc

Maybe you’ve heard of a nifty lil’ cannabinoid called THCV.  Perhaps it was from your cool smoker buddy who always is up on the newest type of dab, extract, edible, and exotic flower there is to offer.  Maybe it was from your crazy uncle Eddie at the family reunion while he was smoking a doobie of high THCV flower at the same time shouting at his overgrown rottweiler to get off the table and eating the snack platter that Gamgams put out for everyone to munch on.  Or, perhaps you’ve never heard of it at all and have no idea what you’re reading about and this article is going to go into. 

If so, then check out our helpful and informative blog about THCV Edibles.

What is THCV?

THCV is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis. THCV is a cannabinoid.  THC and CBD are also cannabinoids.  While it is similar in chemical structure to THC or Tetrahydrocannabinol, the effects it can have on the body are much different.  THCV has a less psychoactive release in the brain than THC.  People who use THCV report having more energy, less appetite, and feeling less lethargic than consuming something with higher THC.  This is because the way our bodies are able to process cannabinoids is through our own Endocannabinoid system or (ECS). 

THCV, THC, and CBD all innervate with receptors in the ECS differently which produces the different reactions we have to consume them.  The ECS helps to regulate our physical and mental well-being, appetites, sleep schedules, and even hormones can be affected.

This article is going to walk through some of the top strains that have higher than average levels compared to other strains.  

Where Is THCV Found?

The origins of high THCV strains can be traced back to some OG landrace strains in Africa and surrounding areas. 

These strains are Sativa dominant and usually average at around 15%-23% THC as well. 

Sativas are known for giving more of a creative head high rather than a lethargic couch-lock that people associate with Indicas. 

People began to notice the differences between smoking different strains and started to seek out sources of the different types of highs.  Sativas became known as "the daytime smoke" because as many people say, it gives them energy, makes them feel more creative, and can do the opposite of munchies and help to curb an appetite.

Popular THCV Strains

Durban Poison

This is probably the most well-known strain on the list, or at least it was to us.  This strain is super Sativa dominant.  It is popular for a nice afternoon bong snap.  It gives off creativity and energy as for its main side effects.  It puts out a sweet and earthy aroma when smoked. Artists favor this strain for its highly Sativa effects.  It is usually round and chunky in bud structure and covered in trichomes giving it that frosty sugar-coated look.  This strain is one of our favorites down here at Cannasaver.

Pineapple Purps

Pineapple Purps is a strain that has grown in popularity over recent years. This strain has an average of 3:1 THC to THCV giving it highly psychoactive properties.  It has a sweet aroma that smells fruity and gives off a pineapple essence.  When smoked it tastes like sweet berry wine. It gives uplifting energetic effects when smoked and leaves you feeling with a head in the clouds high with bursts of energy.  This high THCV strain is used medically to treat anxiety, appetite loss, and mild cases of depression.  It possesses dark green leaves, slightly purple hairs, and is frosty with trichomes giving it a beautiful look and an even better smoke.

Power Plant

Power Plant is another African Sativa strain on our list.  This popular strain is a hybrid of Sativa and Indica with a split of around 65% Sativa and 35% Indica.   It has a higher than average amount of CBD making it a perfect blend of all different types of effects.  It will give you energy and also relax you.  Power Plant has light green leaves and a nice rich dusting of trichomes on the outer leaves.  This gives it a sweet and earthy aroma that tastes a bit like limes.  It’s known to give a clear-headed high with lots of energy.  

Red Congolese

With more people smoking cannabis now that it is recreationally legal in many states and medically legal in most of the states in the country, nonpsychoactive strains are at the top of people’s to-try lists.  This stain is no exception to that.  Red Congolese is a strain that gained popularity in California.  When grown it has an Indica like bushy structure but possesses the uplifting creative effects of a chronic Sativa.  It also has uplifting and creative effects when smoked or consumed.  It promotes mental clarity and has been used to help treat Alzheimer’s with promising results shown in this study.  This is a popular afternoon or wake-and-bake smoke for many people that struggle with nausea or tension.  

Doug’s Varin

This unique strain is known to suppress appetite due to its high levels of THCV.  It has been selectively bred over generations to gain the highly Sativa effects it gives.  It averages around 19% THC when tested.  It is a pure Sativa and boy does it smoke like one. Doug’s Varin gives off a piney, earthy smell.  It tastes like sweet citrus when smoked.  It usually flowers in 8-9 weeks making it a great choice for both indoor and outdoor growers. Along with appetite suppression, Doug’s Varin also is used to treat depression, muscle spasms, and stress. 

Thanks for checking out our blog on THCV weed strains. 

We hope you’ll go check out some of these strains at your local favorite dispensary soon!

Top Shelf Strains

Posted by CANNASaver on Friday, 19 August 2022 in Canna Blog

Seasoned stoners are always looking for ‘the next best strain’ to complete their stash. If you smoke regularly, you may be looking for something that’s a little more rare and has different terpenes and flavonoids than other stains. Whether you’re searching for quality weed to serve at an upcoming get-together or something new to try by yourself, we’ve got you covered!

We here at Cannasaver feature the best [medical & recreational] strain suppliers across the nation (within legalized states), with exceptional coupons and offers from the best dispensaries. We are your one-stop shop for all things cannabis and can help you find the best top-shelf strains on the market today. 

Weed strains come in four main categories, or shelves, if you will: 

• Low (Grade or Shelf)
• Mid-shelf
• Top-shelf
• Private Reserve

In some dispensaries, however, top shelf and private reserve are usually put together, as both types are premium quality.

Top-shelf is a cannabis grade of the highest quality that has great potency, and it’s very easy to find. Most dispensaries have their featured top-shelf strains. It’s usually placed on the highest shelf of the store (hence the title), kind of like how alcohol is organized at bars.

Top shelf strains are cultivated either indoors or outdoors by experienced growers who know the conditions favorable for creating potent strains with great terpenes and flavonoids. 

Factors Determining Top Shelf Weed

Several elements affect the growth of top shelf weed. These include:

Genes

Selective breeding of quality strains over long periods yields better hybrids of higher potency.

Soil

Nutrient-rich, healthy soil with an abundance of microbes produces top-shelf weeds.

Nutrients

Regularly providing weed with nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous through fertilizers at the right time produces buds of high quality.

Drying and Curing

Proper post-harvest handling is key to preserving trichomes and ensures the genetically superior flower smells, tastes, and smokes like a top-shelf variety.

Top-Shelf Strains You Should Try

Each dispensary will have a different variety of top shelf strains that they either perfected themselves or perhaps just carry classic strains. Here are some to try out, if you haven't (of course, options will vary based on dispensary):

Khalifa Khush

Khalifa Khush is a hybrid marijuana strain that was specifically bred for the rapper Wiz Khalifa. This is why it is also referred to as “KK,” “Wiz Khalifa,” or “Wiz Khalifa OG.”

This strain is said to descend from an unknown OG strain. It was previously unavailable to the public, but limited amounts have recently been made public through select partners.  

Khalifa Kush’s gives an active cerebral buzz ideal for morning and daytime use. It has a pine and sour lemon scent that is similar to that of OG Kush.

Pancakes

This is a hybrid strain bred by Seed Junkie Genetics and Cookies. It is named after its delicious aroma, which smells like warm pancakes. 

The strain has a buttered, sweet berry flavor profile and a batter-like aroma that reminds you of a fresh batch of pancakes. The high you experience from smoking Pancakes can be described as a relaxing head high. 

Pancake buds are short and bulky, with golden brown shades brightened by frosty trichomes. Patients needing medical marijuana use Pancakes to fight symptoms of chronic stress and anxiety.

Pink Certz

Pink Certz is a visual stunner that smells like hyper-flavorful pink candy mint. The strain combines The Menthol and Grape Gasoline to give you an instant mental vacation that helps get your head back in the game.

You can use it day or night, making it super versatile. Its flavor composition of mint, grape candy, and gas terps sets this strain up for boxes of cannabis trophies this year and the next.

Jealousy

Hey, Jealousy!

The Gin Blossoms knew what they were talking about – Jealousy combines two perfect versions of Gelato and Sherbert because that’s what the folks crave.

Jealousy offers everything you’d want from a JBeezy collection and is perfect for flexing on Instagram. Watch out for the evil eye, though, as Gelato haters are still gonna hate!

Strawberry Remedy #9

Exotic is all about taking risks and winning awards with new creations to heal the masses. It’s more than just GSC genetics folded back on each other like knotted bread.

Oregon’s Chalice Brands took first place in the Oregon Growers Club with Strawberry Remedy #9. This new strain is a rare 1:1 CBD: THC flower for that high-strung person in your life.

Trade that high-THC tachycardia with this Strawberry field x Dragon Desert Frost cross. Strawberry Remedy #9 has a refreshing strawberry smoothie taste that is perfect for a relaxing daytime yoga sesh free of anxiety.

Forbidden Mintz

This strain is a cross between Forbidden Fruit and SinMint Cookies bred by SinCity Seeds. Forbidden mint sports fruity flavor compounds of sweet cherry, passionfruit, mango, and pine. This sweet Indica strain brings about a reflective and chill state of mind.

Zkittelz Mintz 

After putting up with a tough day at work, loosen up with a rewarding after-work smoke courtesy of  Washington’s award-winning Three Rivers Cannabis (3RC).

These SinCity Seeds strain sports a creamy gas and sweet grapefruit finish. Zkittelz Mintz is a cross between Zkittlez and Animal Mints. It is the ideal strain to help get you through those short, bleak days. 

Gator Breath

This heady hybrid strain is a cross between a special Triangle Kush phenotype and Motorbreath. It has dark, chunky, and verdant buds that are sticky with trichomes. 

Consumers of this strain say that it makes them feel active, talkative, and tingly. Gator Breath has 1% THC and 26% CBG. Caryophyllene is the dominant terpene in this strain that gives it its gassy and pungent buttery notes.

Medical marijuana patients use this strain to help with insomnia and eye pressure. It draws its origin from the Jungle Boys. 

Kush Sorbet

Kush Sorbet is an uplifting, hazy, and hard-hitting strain created by crossing Triangle Kush with Sunset Sherbet. This dank and delicious strain provides your entire body with the most invigorating feeling.

It provides both mental and physical sensations of calmness and euphoria. Kush Sorbet packs a mighty punch, with THC levels ranging between 18.7%-22.7%.

Stoner Valentine's Day Gifts

Posted by CANNASaver on Monday, 25 January 2021 in Canna Blog

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and everyone is wondering what exactly they should get their partner to make it extra special. And yes, that includes all the stoners out there. And if you’re feeling like just buying your partner’s favorite strain might not be enough this year, then here are some products to liven it up a little – the icing on the cake, as they say. These are some of our favorite stoner Valentine’s Day gifts.

Best Stoner Valentine’s Day Gifts

We get it, it’s hard to think about what your significant other may appreciate this time of year, especially if you’re too stoned. We got you! Light up that joint and read on for some good inspiration!

Cannabis Chocolates

What more could anyone ask for? Chocolate is a Valentine’s Day staple and adding a little bit of weed into the cocoa mix gives the gift that “little extra” that regular chocolate just can’t deliver. You can find some coupons on chocolates here.

Flowers

“Flowers don’t tell, they show.” – Stephanie Skeem

Generally speaking, roses are a go-to for Valentine’s Day. That being said, there are definitely better types of flower out there. Can’t really smoke roses, can you? However we have heard of rolling blunts with rose petals, so you could try that! Class it up by turning your flowers into a weed bouquet. 

Couples’ Massage

There are very few people that don’t enjoy a nice, relaxing massage. Double the relaxation by maybe enjoying the chocolates you got your partner before going in. It’s worth it. 

Cannabis Lotion

Okay, so maybe you don’t want someone else rubbing up on your sweetheart. Fair enough. But keeping them from getting a massage seems cruel, so try giving them one yourself. Coupling a massage with a cannabis skin lotion can really elevate it to the next level.

Edibles

Food! Everyone loves food. If you’re smart, you’ll be making your significant other a romantic dinner for Valentine’s Day. Liven it up with some edibles in the mix. Get baking and get baked.

Cannabis Candles

What better way to set the mood than with some romantic, cannabis-infused candles? It is Valentine’s day after all. Turn up the charm with candles that have a little extra kick.

New Glass

Back in the day, “fine China” used to be a great way to show your sweetie some love. Certainly, we’ve evolved a bit. In this case, don’t think of flatware as plates and bowls; at least not the bowls you eat out of. Grabbing a new glass pipe to smoke out of together is a better way of keeping up with the times.

Pre-rolled Love

Some people like to roll their own joints. A lot of people don’t. If your partner prefers to smoke without the work, a pack of pre-rolls is a perfect way to show you care. 

Cannabis Seeds

“Love grows by giving.” – Elbert Hubbard 

Growth is an important facet of any relationship. Why not symbolize that with a couple of seeds of your own, that grow in tandem with your relationship? Easier than raising other things.

Homemade Crafts

It’s hard to beat an old-fashioned joint. Be that as it may, Valentine’s Day is a special occasion. Trying your hand at rolling unique joints, like the tulip joint, is a great way to show your partner that they were on your mind. 

Weekend Getaway

Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday this year, perfect for a nice 420-friendly getaway with your stoner beau. The COVID-19 pandemic has made travel harder this year, but a nice alternative to a hotel is finding somewhere warm, packing a tent, some food, and a bowl, and camping the weekend away.

Vaporizers

No one likes to admit it, but packing a bowl or rolling a joint can sometimes be a chore, especially when you just want a quick toke. Good thing vaporizers exist. Perfect for an easy smoke, they can fit in your pocket and work like a charm. 

Cannabis Lube

It’s pretty easy to explain this one. 

• Weed? Check. 

• Lube? Check.

I’m fairly sure everyone knows why this gift is sure to make your partner happy.

Soda Pop for Your Sweetheart

Is it soda or pop in Denver? Asking for a friend. Regardless of what it’s called, a nice way to switch it up is with some Keef Cola, a cannabis-infused soda (pop)? If Michael Bublé is singing about it, you know it’s a good Valentine’s Day gift. 

Weed Apparel

Yes, it can give a “Yeah I totally smoke weed” vibe sometimes, but there’s nothing wrong with showing a little love for your favorite honey by getting them something that shows a little love for their favorite flower. Things like pot leaf underwear can make for a funny, yet charming Valentine’s gift.

Marijuana Cookbooks

Weed and food go hand in hand. There are very few combinations that can stack up. Peanut butter and jelly? Close second. If your partner loves to cook and loves to smoke, a prime gift would be one that combines both. You can find marijuana cookbooks that can merge cooking and weed. Really, it’s a gift for both of you.

A Night In

No doubt that we’ve all been spending plenty of nights in, over the past year. With that in mind, it’s certainly possible to spice it up a bit. A romantic dinner, a romantic blunt, and a romantic movie can make for a fantastic quarantined Valentine’s Day. 

Stoner Flicks

Being high can make mostly anything fun. But one of the best activities is chilling out and watching classic stoner movies, like Half-Baked or Pineapple Express. A night in doesn’t have to be limited to rom-com. 

Grassy Gift Basket

Can’t decide on just one thing? Well luckily, you don’t have to. If you really want to step up your Valentine’s Day game, you can mix and match any of the above to really bring it home. Chocolates, lotion, and pre-rolls? You don’t have to be that charming, but it definitely isn’t going to hurt. 

All in all, you know best. It’s Valentine’s Day, and hopefully, you know what your stoner sweetie likes. Getting the right gift is a great way to show them that you really care. For specials on the above-mentioned products, you can check out websites like Cannasaver for deals that won’t break the bank. 

Happy Valentine’s Day, you crazy stoners!

Connoisseur Strains

Posted by CANNASaver on Monday, 15 August 2022 in Canna Blog

As cannabis becomes more and more accepted and popular, those who consume it (that’s us!) look to more than just a quick high with their weed. Yes, we’re “cannasseurs” if you will – the stoneyest (just roll with it) of stoners that look for things like terpenes, flavonoids, effects, and specific strains for specific pains (and other needs). In fact, several studies have linked cannabis to creativity amongst other things, and these are the reasons why it is so popular with us. 

Here are some other reasons why we look for certain strains.

What “Cannasseurs” Look for in Strains

There are many reasons we turn to the wonderful weed, other than just getting stoned. Yes, we cringe when we hear people say, “Who cares what strain it is? It gets you high, doesn’t it?” or, “Oh, we just mix them all together.” EGADS!

Don’t they know that weed has so many other properties? If you’re looking for connoisseur strains, you’re looking for healing properties, anxiety-reducing properties, and much more. Here are some typical reasons us “cannasseurs” are looking for specific strains – either to promote, help with, or relieve certain issues:

• Nausea
• Insomnia
• Creativity
• Energy
• Anxiety/PTSD
• Pain (Relief)
• Productivity

• Stress
• If you are looking for the most dope deals and cannabis coupons, look no further than Cannasaver. We are your one-stop shop for all things cannabis and can help you find the best deals on things like connoisseur strains, both in flower and concentrates.

Best Weed Strains in Colorado for 2016

Posted by CANNASaver on Sunday, 06 November 2016 in Canna Blog

Colorado Prefers Sativa: Where to find the most popular weed strains

Despite the plethora of marijuana strains Colorado cannabis consumers have to choose from, more often than not, they reach for the Sativa varieties. According to a recent report in Business Insider, the most popular marijuana strains in Colorado are sativas or sativa dominant hybrids. The report was based on an analysis of point-of-sale data provided by a large sampling of Colorado marijuana dispensaries. The three strains named in the report as the most popular marijuana strains in Colorado are all sativa-dominant: Blue Dream, Durban Poison, and Bruce Banner #3. If you're wondering where to find Blue Dream in Denver, or where to find Durban Poison in Denver or the famed Bruce Banner #3, read on. We’ve also included information on the effects, genetics, and origins of these top 3 marijuana strains to shed some light on what makes these particular buds the most popular weed strains in Colorado.

Blue Dream

Blue Dream is the #1 Most Popular Strain in Colorado. It's easy to find Blue Dream in Denver as many marijuana dispensaries keep it in stock. A cross between Haze, a powerful sativa, and Blueberry, a fragrant and potent indica, blue dream originated in California, where it remains a popular strain. Blue Dream produces a relaxed and joyful high without causing drowsiness, and it tastes and smells like blueberries. It tests at anywhere from 17% to 24% THC, so it's a pretty reliable strain that seldom disappoints. Denver isn’t the only place where Blue Dream is “highly” popular, either. Blue Dream is also the most popular marijuana strain in Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Tacoma, Phoenix, and several other cities where medical and/or recreational weed is legal. You can find Blue Dream in Denver at many medical and recreational dispensaries including Livwell and The Green Solution Northglenn. These stores often offer marijuana coupons for blue dream deals and other dispensary deals and weed discounts on CannaSaver.

Durban Poison

The second most popular marijuana strain in Colorado is Durban Poison. Originating in Africa, Durban Poison is a pure sativa that tests at 16% to 25% THC. It has a sweet, earthy taste and smell. Unlike indica that can slow you down and give you that heavy, sleepy feeling, Durban Poison is almost energizing in its effects. With thick, chunky buds that are coated in sparkling trichomes, Durban Poison is a popular marijuana strain throughout Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and pretty much everywhere else that it's available. You can find Durban Poison in Denver at Life Flower Dispensary or pick up some Durban Poison clones at Karmaceuticals.

Bruce Banner #3

Coming in at #3 is, coincidentally, bruce banner #3. One of three variations of the popular Bruce Banner strain, Bruce Banner #3 is a cross between OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel. It was created by Delta 9 labs. A popular marijuana strain in Colorado, Michigan, Oregon, and Washington, Bruce Banner #3 is famed for its quick-acting euphoric and calming effects. It has a spicy, earthy, and citrusy flavor and smell. Bruce Banner #3 is considered to be the strongest and best of the Bruce Banner phenotypes. You can find  Bruce Banner #3 in Colorado at Native Roots dispensary , Buddy Boy Brands dispensary and other marijuana dispensaries in Denver, Boulder, and elsewhere in Colorado.

Why Colorado Chooses Sativa

With all the opportunities for outdoor adventure, nightlife, and other fun things to do, Colorado is one of the most active states in the country. We might smoke a lot of weed here, but Colorado marijuana lovers shatter the stereotype of the lazy, couch-bound stoner. We like to get high, and we also like to get out and do stuff. In Colorado, smoking weed and having adventures go hand in hand. There are mountains to climb, trails to hike, hills to sled, and marijuana activities and 420 tours abound. Exhilarating and energetic in their effects, sativas and sativa dominant marijuana strains are the perfect complement to the active Colorado lifestyle.

Marijuana Strains Originating in Colorado

With all the marijuana strains available at Colorado dispensaries, curiosity regarding weed genetics and origins is bound to kick in sooner or later. You can find marijuana strains from all over the world here, as well as a few really good strains from Colorado that have become world-famous. Some of the better known marijuana strains originating in Colorado include Colorado Cough (also known as Fort Collins Cough), G-6 also known as Jet Fuel, Aspen OG, and High Country Diesel. These strains have provided the genetics for many of the popular newer strains you see in dispensaries today.

Read on to learn more about these acclaimed marijuana strains that originated in Colorado.

Colorado Cough Genetics and Origins

Colorado Cough is a strain originating in Colorado in the 1990s. This strain was first grown in Colorado by two students from Colorado State University in Fort Collins who had the brilliant idea of crossing a Northern Lights #5 with a Haze #17. The result is a powerful sativa head high with an equally relaxing effect on the body. It has a very earthy scent and a bit of an odd flavor, almost like it has a hint of old orange peels. It’s definitely not the tastiest of buds, but the long-lasting high more than makes up for what it lacks in flavor.

G-6 Jet Fuel Strain Genetics and Origins

G-6, also known as Jet Fuel, is a strain that first originated in Colorado. This Colorado sativa dominant hybrid strain was developed by Denver-based 303 Seeds from Aspen OG and High Country Diesel, two other strains originating in Colorado. The genetic lineage of G-6 includes original Diesel, East coast Sour Diesel, G-13 Haze, and SFV OG Kush (San Fernando Valley OG Kush). It has a piney flavor with hints of diesel. The high you’ll get from G-6 is very uplifting and lighthearted, so it’s great after a long day or whenever you need a pick-me-up.

Colorado Strain Aspen OG Genetics and Origins

Aspen OG is another strain developed in Colorado by 303 Seeds. It’s a cross between SFV OG Kush and Sour Cream. Coated in crystals, this bud looks almost frosty. It has an earthy yet sweet flavor that’s reminiscent of forests and berries. A hybrid, Aspen OG provides a happy high that may also leave you with a serious case of the munchies.

High Country Diesel Strain Genetics and Origins

High Country Diesel is another of the widely acclaimed hybrid strains originating from Colorado. A cross between Loompa’s Underdog a.k.a. Headband and East Coast Sour Diesel, High Country Diesel has impressive genetics. Loompa’s Underdog is a cross between Amherst Super Skunk and Chemdog, while East Coast Sour Diesel is a powerful sativa with energizing and euphoric effects. This makes High Country Diesel a great hybrid strain for those seeking an undeniable high that’s long lasting without rendering you completely immobile.

Blue Dream Strain Review, Genetics, and Origins

With so many different varieties of marijuana available, those strains that stand out and become widely known must really be something special--or at least, especially prominent. One such strain that has maintained its popularity for many years now is Blue Dream, a strain with genetics and origins that don’t seem too wildly different from other modern cannabis strains, but that has garnered thousands of rave reviews nonetheless. Part of the popularity of Blue Dream is due to the fact that this strain provides a well-balanced, all-around good high.

Blue Dream Strain Genetics

Blue Dream is a sativa-dominant hybrid that brings about 20% indica together with 80% sativa genetics. The strain results from the pairing of a sativa Haze, and Blueberry, which is an indica. Blue Dream tests at about 17-18% THC on average. If you want to grow Blue Dream, you’ll need to get a clone or a cutting, as you can’t cultivate it from seeds. Luckily, finding Blue Dream clones is no problem, as they are readily available in cities like Denver or Los Angeles, and the cost is typically very reasonable, often as low as $5 to $10 per clone.

Strain Origins - Where was Blue Dream First Grown?

If you want to know the origins and history of Blue Dream, just look west to the coast. Like so many other top weed strains, Blue Dream first emerged in the golden state of California, in the Santa Cruz area medical marijuana scene well over a decade ago. It became a big hit with medical marijuana patients who benefit from the pain-relieving, muscle-relaxing, anxiety-reducing effects of this strain.

Where to Buy Blue Dream in Denver

Blue Dream is available at many dispensaries in Denver. Some of the more popular dispensaries that have it are Medicine Man Aurora, Livwell Stapleton, and The Joint by Cannabis Dispensary.

Blue Dream Strain Review - Is it really that good?

While Blue Dream isn’t the most potent strain, it’s a very enjoyable and lasting high. The sativa qualities give you a positive, relaxed, and light feeling, while the genetic heritage of the Blueberry contributes a delicious smell and flavor that truly is very reminiscent of blueberries.  The flavor, the smell, the bluish color of the bud itself--it’s hard to beat Blue Dream for a good, enjoyable high with quality you can count on.

One thing that’s hugely different about today’s modern cannabis culture compared to what it was like a decade or two ago is the vast array of marijuana strains that are now available. With countless growing operations large and small, and so many vying to produce the latest, greatest bud, there is pretty much a constant flow of marijuana strains that keep getting better and better. The history of cannabis cultivation is changing before our eyes. Whether you’re a grower or a stoner, this is our collective marijuana heritage. Whether it’s Blue Dream, Girl Scout Cookies, Sour Diesel, or Bubba Kush, learning about the history, genetics and origins of different marijuana strains can give you a greater appreciation for that wonderful, wonderful herb.
