NBA All-Star Allen Iverson’s new flower ‘Iverson ’01’ tested
Find out what makes this strain so good that it sold out when it premiered.
Something about Michigan makes waves, but it’s not the state’s eponymous lake. It’s the Detroit-bred Iverson ’01 – NBA All-Star Allen Iverson’s latest Michigan strain with viola.
This indica-dominant hybrid of ’01 was Michigan’s hottest spring strain, flying off shelves when Al Harrington and Allen Iverson themselves visited Michigan dispensaries to meet fans and celebrate. Leafly got a chance to try the strain, and we’re ready to let the world in on a little secret – you need to get it ASAP.
The strain sold out in its first batch in Michigan last month, but after you’ve read all about it, we’ll tell you which dispensaries in Michigan will be offering this strain for smoking starting this week.
The Iverson ’01 experience
root name: Iverson ’01
Genetics: F1 Durban x Gushers x Runtz
smell and taste: Pine, orange, hops, floral notes
Effects: Euphoria and a balanced head and body high
Viola’s distinctive purple packaging reveals 6-10 well-trimmed buds of Iverson ’01 that hit the nose with a lovely floral start. But if you keep inhaling the flower in the bag (which everyone should consider to experience joy), you’ll find that the smell of nature doesn’t just come from floral and citrus notes that smell like spring – but from pine which also remind you of the forest.
The earthy undertones automatically made me think that this strain would help me feel grounded, and maybe that was a high thought, but the strain even smelled a little ‘hoppy’. Hop. iverson Basketball. Sports. Got it?
One of the best parts of the expanding class of hybrid strains in 2022 – breeders can tune in to the effects they really want to deliver. We’ve noticed that Iverson pays attention to this – both with this year’s Iverson ’01 and with last year’s Iverson ’96. It’s a powerful trait to build a brand on and we love to see it.

While the buds are as purple as the packaging, the Detroit cultivation team did their job perfectly, creating a strain that keeps the mind and body relaxed without promoting sleep.
In fact, I even used this strain to tame some late morning anxiety one day when I needed a kick from having too much caffeine.
Now please be warned. Taking more than a few hits of this strain can cause your eyelids to float lower with the familiar sensation of a good indica hybrid smoke. But it’s definitely a fair compromise for loosening up overly tight muscles and the peace of mind that no matter what happens, you can at least enjoy a good weed that smells like bliss in your fingers as soon as you open the bag.
Where to buy Iverson ’01 in Michigan
Michigan cannabis enthusiasts willing to try Iverson ’01 should check with the following Michigan dispensaries when looking for this strain:
- 3Fifteen
- curaleaf
- cannabis
- puff cannabis
- Pure options
- skymint
- Live Cannabis
- The new benchmark
- Five & Dime
Although grown in Detroit, we know on good authority that Iverson ’01 will be available statewide well into the summer of 2022 and beyond.
This is fantastic news for Michiganers who are ready to combine a satisfying strain with their plans, unwind after work, prepare for a night out, or just to find a cool moment in the middle of a busy day. (What is time anyway?)
