Zodiac Weed Strains: 6 Scorpio Strains You’ll Love

If you wake up on October 23rd feeling a little livelier, leaner, more in tune with your divine masculine side, and maybe a little more apt to wear all black, you might be feeling the intense energy of Scorpio season. From October 23rd to November 21st, Scorpio season is particularly gothic and includes all the holidays of the calendar year: Halloween, Samhain, All Saints’ Day and Día de los Muertos.

But that doesn’t mean every Scorpio is an aesthetic vampire in Victorian couture. Rather, it’s the spooky energy of the harvest finale and the energy before the deep, dark winter that influences its gothic reputation. This, plus the intense vibrations associated with death and rebirth that hang in the atmosphere well past the autumnal equinox, give Scorpio arguably the zodiac’s most witchy reputation.

Scorpio is a solid water sign that is both deeply emotional and poignantly serious, representing intuition, curiosity, and awareness. Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto, giving the sign strong dominant energy, but there is also a soft vulnerability. Which, if you’ve been around Scorpios, you probably already know. They tend to be fearless risk-takers, passionate lovers, and provocative enigmas whose deep thoughts remain a mystery to all but those closest to them.

So next time you’re feeling a little bewitched, gothic, or just plain deep and mysterious, try one of these six strains and ideally, you can magically dial into those distinctly dark and sensual Scorpio energies.

Aliens on Moonshine

This low-THC (7-9% average) hybrid cross of Sour Alien and White Moonshine may be known as a therapeutic strain, but recreational smokers may find this smoke just as complex and robust as other, more potent strains.

For daytime smokers, consumers report an introspective, high-functioning head effect and a calming body high that can potentially curb chronic pain. The increased CBD levels also make this strain a great strain for beginners or therapeutic users who easily dip into more psychoactive waters. If your mood needs some calming during Scorpio season, AOM might be the strain to keep you relaxed.

Expect a fruity gassy citrus nose and a suitably sweet Skunk exhale.

brandy wine

Brandywine is a rare hybrid strain known for her powerful sedative effects that are airy enough for daytime use. Brandywine’s elevated THC percentage (30% and up) keeps it primarily for uni stoners, but medium-tolerance smokers looking to join in the action can expect intense, euphoric head highs that lead to extra-cushioned body highs are wrapped. Lower tolerance smokers should stick to a hit or two lest you be overwhelmed by a supposedly sexy, over-the-top high and end up becoming the proverbial Scorpio roadkill.

Expect a floral, sweet, slightly earthy perfume and a candy-sweet mouthfeel.

Incredible power

Mars and Pluto, Scorpio’s ruling planets, are both bearers of aggressive masculine energy, which isn’t always a bad thing. Scorpio season urges us to utilize our divine masculinity regardless of our gender constructs. This connection can recharge your passion, power and vitality, but when it’s all just too much, Incredible Power could be a panacea for all that hard-to-shake, hot daddy energy.

Bred from a cross of AC/DC, Omitra, and Blue Power, Incredible Power is reportedly a super calming strain, perfect for relaxing or aiding sleep. Incredible Power typically features a 1:1 THC:CBD profile with an average THC content of 12%. Consumers report joyous highs that morph into rest and mostly deep sleep.

Expect a piney terpene profile with a lingering citrus scent.

The blood

The Blood is an aptly named phenotype of Chemdawg BX4 known for its distinctly sedative, balanced effect and red-haired buds. Consumers report fainting spells that dissolve into unfocused calm—an admirable balance of intensity and lightness. It is also reported to have a potency that can prove sedative if not used with caution. Anyway, the high sounds just right for Scorpio Season: intense effects that reveal a softer, more manageable underside, but if you overdo it, the strain will fight you. Frankly, iconic Scorpio behavior.

Expect buds with bright red hairs, a sour, peppery nose, and a piney, astringent exhale.

The church

This cross of Super Skunk, Strawberry, and Northern Lights buzzes with either uplifting Sunday service vibes or gothic graveyard vibes, depending on your reverent reference. That said, this strain is particularly party-loving, but her genetics are calming enough to stop short of holy ghost turmoil.

Consumers report that The Church is sociable but not manic, calming but not soothing, and spacey but not sluggish. Keep this strain in the storage box whenever you need to conjure up some cool Scorpio party vibes.

Expect a funky, spicy, sweet perfume and a floral, berry-sweet mouthfeel.

#1 Love Potion

Most of these Scorpio-themed cultivars lean towards more laid-back relaxation, while Love Potion #1 is popular for its stimulating, energizing, and energetic high. Call on your sexiest inner Scorpio and smolder alongside this strain the next time you’re feeling mysterious and sensual.

Consumers report vivid, hypersexual effects, but of course your results may vary. The THC percentage is under 20%, so even inexperienced smokers can use this #1 love potion to work into their sensual experience.

Expect a bright, botanical aroma and a suitably herbal exhale.
