The most popular cannabis strains in Massachusetts
Massachusetts is one of the youngest states to join the ranks of the legal recreational cannabis world. The Baked Bean State – which we have affectionately called “The Baked State” – made its official leisure debut in early 2020 and has grown steadily ever since. For Bay Staters, this growth has opened the doors to a multitude of new cannabis strains for you to choose from.
Among the national favorites, the locals often lean towards classics like GG4 (aka Gorilla Glue # 4), Ice Cream Cake, and Runtz, Leaflys 2020 Variety of the Year. But those go-tos aside, we dug into the data to see what other strains the good Bay State folks like to smoke. The next time you stop by the pharmacy, ask your budtender about these popular Massachusetts strains.
Trunk type: Hybrid
Dominant terpene: Caryophylls
Top Effects: Happy, euphoric, relaxed
Helpful Review: “Peanut Butter Breath is the ultimate head high. Think back to the days when you started smoking cannabis – that ‘where’s the nearest sofa’ feeling. Yup. That’s how this strain is. A nice and smooth, ultra-stoney head high. “
Trunk type: Hybrid
Dominant terpene: Caryophylls
Top Effects: Happy, euphoric, relaxed
Helpful rating: “Cookies and Cream provide a body high, but also fill my head with a soothing tingling sensation that does not cloud the mind and is pleasant, while still allowing me to function. “
Trunk type: Hybrid
Dominant terpene: Caryophylls
Top Effects: Giggle, relaxed, happy
Helpful Review: “This strain feels like a nice piece of butter on a big pile of flapjacks. Gary Payton targets the parts of my body that have the most inflammation and it feels soothing. On top of that, the head high is dope and I can watch a movie and keep up while being marginalized at the same time. “
Trunk type: Hybrid
Dominant terpene: Caryophylls
Top Effects: Euphoric, sleepy, relaxed
Helpful rating: “The effects of this strain hit me immediately and increased for up to about 15 minutes. Then the physical relaxation started. Grease Monkey is good for pain, mood and appetite stimulation. “
Trunk type: Hybrid
Dominant terpene: Caryophylls
Top Effects: Happy, relaxed, euphoric
Helpful Review: “Lava Cake is heavy stuff. It is definitely not an effort to smoke before a meeting, talk to someone, or do simple chores at home. If you do, you’ll be like, ‘Whoa, I didn’t think I was that high.’ This strain is best to smoke before bed or after a long, hard day at work when you just want to lie down and relax. It’s also great for calming down. “
Trunk type: Hybrid
Dominant terpene: Myrcene
Top Effects: Energetic, uplifted, happy
Helpful Review: “I choose this strain a lot. I feel the effects almost immediately with this one. It’s a really rocky high with a good energetic undertone. People can definitely tell you are stoned after smoking this one. Jet fuel will make your eyes and body heavy if you take a larger dose. “
Trunk type: Hybrid
Dominant terpene: unknown
Top Effects: Relaxed, sleepy, euphoric
Helpful Review: “This one is definitely a headbuster, I absolutely love him. With Brownie Scout, it only takes a few hits before you are wiped out. The batch I bought had 28.9% THC and that would normally scare me a little, but Brownie Scout was different. It’s such a calming and relaxing high that you have absolutely no place for paranoia. This exposure gave me the urge to rub my pup’s stomach and then I passed out on the floor for a few hours. Needless to say, I can’t complain. “
