Cannabis strains vary from region to region, but some fan favorites like Blue Dream, Gorilla Glue #4, and Girl Scout Cookies have permeated almost every state’s border. These ten strains – most of which might look familiar – are the most commonly searched varieties among Massachusetts residents according to Leafly data. Dispensaries, keep in mind that these are the strains your customers and patients are showing interest in!
1. Blue Dream
Blue Dream’s market domination is no exception in Massachusetts. Cherished for its sweet berry flavor and mellow, blissful effects loved by newbies and veterans alike, we don’t expect Blue Dream to fall from its #1 spot anytime soon. Its gentle effects make this hybrid a top choice for anxiety disorders and depression.
2. Headband
Known for its hugging cerebral “halo effect,” the complex hybrid Headband is known to promote a balance of relaxation, creativity, and mood enhancement. With a rich terpene (aromatic oils secreted in cannabis resin) profile dominated by myrcene, pinene, and limonene, this strain’s aroma is as much a draw as its effects.
3. Gorilla Glue #4
Blowing up all over the U.S. is Gorilla Glue #4, the strain that makes its presence known with a pungently sweet aroma soured by funky fuel notes. This masterpiece from GG Strains lives up to its name as it produces copious amounts of resin so sticky, the buds seem to almost resist your fingers breaking them apart. Preferred by patients for stress, pain, insomnia and appetite loss, Gorilla Glue #4 is basically a condensed medicine cabinet as it relieves a spectrum of different symptoms.
4. Green Crack
If you’re susceptible to fatigue and lethargy when using cannabis, consider Green Crack. It may not have the most therapeutic (or even tasteful) name, but this sativa is perfect for fighting depression and motivating activity and creativity with it stimulating and revitalizing effects.
5. Cheese
The Cheese hybrid, first conceived in the 1980s, has survived the test of time for a reason. Announcing itself with sharp sour notes reminiscent of cheese, this strain delivers a tranquil high that can loosen anxiety’s grip as tension dissolves from muscles.
6. White Widow
Obscured under a storm of snow-like crystal resin, White Widow is a classic Dutch strain long coveted for its potency. Offering an escape from pain and stress with a sweet and earthy flavor, this resin queen has secured her supremacy in markets worldwide.
7. Blueberry
Another classic that can’t be budged off the top ten list in most markets, Blueberry offers one of the most flavorful indica experiences alongside heavy, full-body effects. Blueberry is perfect for relaxing in the sun or with a movie, or consider this indica for stressful days and sleepless nights.
8. Girl Scout Cookies
From West Coast to East, Girl Scout Cookies has traveled far to make it into the hands of Massachusetts cannabis consumers. Typically used to nudge stubborn cases of depression, pain, appetite loss, and insomnia by patients, this sweet-tasting hybrid can be used to enhance creativity and introspection.
9. Strawberry Cough
With pronounced flavors of strawberry and an expansive smoke that can leave one coughing the exhale, this sativa is the perfect companion for creatives, hikers, or anyone looking to lift their energy and mood. Strawberry Cough encourages you to get up and out, easing tension and pain so you can stay active longer.
10. White Russian
White Russian is a hybrid strain that uses its commanding THC content to keep stress, pain, and nausea at bay. A cross between White Widow and AK-47, White Russian inherits famed genetics from all over the world including South America, Thailand, Afghanistan, Mexico, and India.
