As cannabis becomes legal in more and more states without sweeping national legalization (yet), there are some differences as far as which strains are available across different states. Growers and other industry experts are doing their best to create a thorough distribution, and Colorado certainly has its fair share of the world’s best cannabis.
Here’s a look at four of the most popular and exciting sativa strains you can find in the Centennial State and Chronic Therapy.
Jack Frost
This sativa-heavy strain is the end result of five years of careful cultivation by cannabis breeder Goldenseed. Their hard work clearly paid off, and enthusiasts are blown away by both this strain’s potency and its smell. Its next-level potency has been measured as high as 22.6%, which should be more than enough to satisfy even the seasoned smoker. You can tell it’s strong just by looking at the generous dusting of white crystals that cover these buds– frosty indeed!
This strain combines a pine or cedar earthiness with a crisp citrus finish, which makes it a delight to smoke or vape. The tasty flavors make sense when you consider Jack Frost’s legendary lineage: Jack Herer, White Widow, and Northern Lights. It takes some of the best things from each strain that goes into it, and consumers report feeling euphoric happiness that mellows into a relaxed creative zone.
Island Sweet Skunk
Also known as Sweet Island Skunk, this strain was bred in Canada but will certainly make you feel refreshed as if you’ve just been relaxing on a beach. The beautiful bright hairs on these buds combine with tropical fruity notes to advance the island vibes. This heavy hitter from the skunk family is a good morning or daytime cannabis because of the focused, uplifted boost of energy consumers receive.
The energetic feeling is perfect for a long hike in the Colorado mountains. Conveniently enough, Island Sweet Skunk often offers high CBD content, which is great for patients who suffer from muscle spasms or inflamed joints. Let waves of peaceful serenity wash over you and go about your day.
Blue Dream
This sativa-dominant cannabis strain comes to us from the West Coast, where it’s been making quite a name for itself. Your body will be at ease, but your mind will be buzzing with new ideas. Customers love this bud because it blasts off with a creative experience before calming into a state of relaxed happiness.
It gets most of its strong sativa qualities from the Haze side of its lineage, which is combined with Blueberry to bring sweet berry flavors and even out the high. These buds are dense, and they will hit you like a ton of bricks. Give it a few minutes to work its magic before you fire up any more.
Tangie Power
There’s a lot to say about this sweet, citrusy masterpiece and a multi-award winning hybrid that has won ten different awards at Cannabis Cups. Reviewers have been going through the roof about this cannabis strain ever since it came out of Chronic Therapy in Cortez. The experience starts to get good as soon as you lay eyes on this cannabis– the bright orange trichomes are almost hidden by a gorgeous layer of crystals.
Tangie power makes some consumers feel like they have superpowers. They’re creative and energized enough to do just about anything, while calm enough to sit on the couch.
