While Georgia’s medical marijuana program is currently stalled and patients wait to register for low-THC cannabis oil, the rest of the country has been full steam ahead with cannabis.
THC levels over 30%, glistening trichomes, and unbelievable terpene profiles have challenged growers to produce some of the world’s best cannabis. 2022 is setting up to be a big year for cannabis cultivators!
There have been some notable strains that have come out in the last year, and in this article, we’ll talk about some of the most popular cannabis strains, why they’re so hyped, and how cultivators are pushing the limits with growing cannabis.
5 Popular Cannabis Strains That Rank Best in the Country
Zkittlez Is for Berry Lovers & Couchlock
Zkittlez, or skittles, is an indica strain bred by crossing the strains Grapefruit and Grape Ape with a mystery strain. As you might imagine, it tastes like berries or grapes.
It’s a pungent aroma of tropical notes and looks bright and healthy with bulky colas that are fat and wide.
Zkittlez is the perfect rapper cannabis, its effects are heavy and happy, leaving patients feeling calm and sedated.
Zkittlez traditionally has a relatively low THC content, ranging from 15% - 20%, but its terpene profile makes up for the low THC with caryophyllene being the most dominant terpene in Zkittlez.
Runtz Makes Leafly’s 2020 Strain of the Year
Runtz has been one of the most popular cannabis strains out there and for good reason.
Crossing Zkittlez with Gelato gives you this candy-flavored tropical hybrid whose genetics are tightly held by Cookies Cannabis.
Runtz is sticky and strong and often comes around a 50/50 ratio of indica:sativa. It can have a high THC percentage too, with anywhere from 20% - 30% THC. The high from Runtz is euphoric and expansive and hits you like an exciting wave of pleasure until the couchlock sets in.
Runtz has a unique bud structure too, with dense but smaller nugs that are covered in blankets of shiny trichomes.
Zaza is Another Fruity Addition to the Best Cannabis Strains
Zaza, sometimes called “Za”, can be used as a term for “exotic” cannabis strains, though the Za we’re talking about here is a real strain bred by crossing Blue Dream with Rare Dankness #1.
Zaza is an indica-dominant hybrid that gives you the fullest sense of an indica with the cerebral happiness of Blue Dream as a sativa.
It smells and tastes fruity and full and has a similar bud structure to Runtz, with small but dense nugs that shimmer with bright and shiny trichomes.
What makes Zaza unique is its taste, which has a slight lemon or sour hint to it, making for a bright and tasty flavor. Though Zaza typically has a THC content of around 20%, its powerful sedative effects can catch you off guard, so plan on using this one when you’re ready to relax for a while.
Cereal Milk from Cookies Cannabis
Another edition from Cookies Cannabis, Cereal Milk, is a creamy cross of Y Life and Snowman strains.
Cereal Milk is a lower-THC strain hovering around 20% with a creamy berry smell and taste.
As a 50/50 hybrid, Cereal Milk gives an uplifting blissful high that settles in with a strong relaxing vibe. Cereal Milk has a thicker bud structure, with fat nugs that are painted with orange hairs and sparkly trichomes, and it smells like it tastes – fruity and creamy.
It’s dominant terpene caryophyllene likely pushes Cereal Milk’s potent high into a strong sedation, making this strain the perfect pair for movie night or a heavy nap.
London Pound Cake Tastes as Good as it Sounds
If you haven’t noticed a theme here, berry flavors and Cookies Cannabis keep coming up.
Cookies’ release of London Pound Cake combines the best of berries and lemons, and its bright and healthy colors will have your eyes glazed with excitement.
LPC is a cross of Sunset Sherbert and a mystery strain and hovers around 25% - 30% THC. Its bright green buds are peppered with orange hairs and amber trichomes, and it has an aroma of woodsy berries with a hint of lemons.
London Pound Cake tastes similar to how it smells, earthy and berry with hints of lemon, and its relaxing high is one to write home about.
LPC hits you with a serene high that feels both uplifting and calming, as well as potent. London Pound Cake is a strain meant for sitting on, because you’re not likely to be moving too much after using this indica dominant hybrid.
