The 6 best cherry flavored weed strains

What makes cherries so adorable? From cherry pies to cherry slushies to cherry blossoms that bloom in spring, cherries are a little bit of botanical magic. In cannabis culture, cherries are a common flavor and aroma note associated with beta-myrcene and limonene. Many of the strains sporting the cherry coat feature Cherry OG, Cherry Pie, or Cherry Bomb genetics. They may not be directly related, but cannabis and cherries certainly seem to be spiritual cousins.

Strains with “Cherry” genetics have produced some truly exceptional strains. Cherry OG’s distinctive DNA is prized for its sizeable yields and easy tolerability for both indoor and outdoor grows; Cherry Pie features effects that include gentle cognitive energy balanced with syrupy relaxation; and Cherry Bomb’s therapeutic potential may include relief from arthritis, depression, gastrointestinal disorders, loss of appetite, and chronic pain, according to some consumers.

Cherry Diesel

This hybrid of Cherry and Turbo Diesel is said to be a top-notch wake-and-bake strain. Consumers value it for its moderate coolness that softens otherwise jazzy effects and a creative head high that’s perfect for Type A stoners. Executive stoners who prefer to med with a zippier cannabis strain should consider this sweet, gassy hybrid if they’re dabbing at dawn, vaping at dawn, or just waking up and baking with the rest of us.

Expect a diesel, berry-cherry nose and a gassy, ​​herbaceous extract.

cherry burst

Cherry Burst could be the panacea for consumers who rely on cannabis for sedative effects but prefer to avoid sedation and/or couchlock. Reports of creative, galactic brain highs that are also cashmere-snuggly in the body make for an all-around pleasurable experience.

It’s especially nice for crafternoons or low-stakes hangouts that require a minimum of celebration. Expect a cherry wine nose and a funky, sweet exhale.

cherry cookies

This cross between Cherry Pie and GSC delivers effects similar to other descendants of the GSC franchise – it’s mood-enhancing, creative, and physically calming. What sets this iteration apart is her creamy draw that tastes like a sweet, woody mashup of doughy cookies, juicy cherries, and sour skunk.

Consumers used by adults report a lively, euphoric onset and a relaxing high. Expect a connoisseur’s scent of cherries, earth, cookies and funk – and a complex exhale to match.

Cherry Haze

Haze lovers will almost certainly want to pack a few nuggets of Cherry Haze into their stash jars. This phenotype reportedly delivers a thick, cottony head high reminiscent of a sleepier strain, and a bubbly relaxation that moderates the more manic qualities of a classic Haze.

Depending on the sleep state of the user, Cherry Haze could fuel a gentle adventure or an intense meditation. Expect a spicy, grassy cherry perfume and a floral, sweet sniff.

cherry lion

Cherry Lion reportedly delivers a social smoke that’s chatty, giggly, and slightly energetic. Bred from a cross between Voltron and Glazed Cherries (another Cherry OG phenotype), this strain is reportedly both upbeat and as calming as a warm bath.

Consumers can look forward to a social, ice-breaking buzz that could be of particular value to introverts who want to allay their fears of meeting new people without dumping themselves on the couch.

Expect a vanilla, sour-earth nose and a woody, cherry-sweet exhale.

Cherry Zkittlez

Consumers who rely on a balance of cerebral effects and sedative body effects will appreciate Cherry Zkittlez for its easy, long-lasting highs. This cross between Cherry Pie and Zkittlez reportedly delivers euphoric head highs and elastic body effects that can relieve mild aches and pains.

Expect a tropical cherry funk scent and a berry funk scent.
