10 Best California Weed Strains of 2020

10 Best California Weed Strains of 2020

Marijuana is exploding in popularity this year. Weed strains were popular before, increasingly since California legalized recreationally back in 2016, but 2020 is proving unique. SARS-Cov-2, or Covid-19, has been keeping people locked indoors. Shutting business. Destroying lives. The first half of this year defines stressful, and now, the second half looks just as crazy. Violent rioting seems the new normal.

All these factors, and whatever else 2020 still has in store for us, is creating massive anxiety and ill-health. This is proving a major drawcard for cannabis. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, marijuana is a powerful anxiolytic, capable of effectively relieving stress and anxiety. It is an antidepressant too, so it improves mood and mental wellbeing. It also helps you sleep, or wakes you up.

With that in mind, which weed strains are flying off California shelves fastest in 2020, this year of chaos?

1. Blue Dream

Blue Dream reaches THC levels as high as 24 percent. This potent hybrid is always in demand in most major markets. California is no exception. Its famous notoriety might be in its genetics. This strain is an Indica-dominant cross of Silver Haze and Blueberry, which is where it inherits its berry flavor. Uplifting, relaxing, creative, and perfect for evening use, Blue Dream is a must-try for every cannabis enthusiast.

2. Wedding Cake

Nicknamed Pink Cookies to honor its Girl Scout Cookies parentage, Wedding Cake is sweet, dessert-like. With Cherry Pie its other parent, the terpene profile of this strain is exceptional. Easily among the tastiest strains of all time. With THC measuring around 25 percent, it promises a powerful stone. Its potency is euphoric, loved in California, with the couchlock expected of a quality Indica-dominant strain.

3. Purple Punch

Crossed between the infamously potent Granddaddy Purple and Larry OG weed strains, Purple Punch does not disappoint. Its earthy fruitiness attracts Californians in droves, and its deeply relaxing effects are perfect for those lazy Cali sunsets. With THC levels nearing 19 percent, it is nicely potent, but not overly so. Purple Punch is a great beginner strain, but in large doses, it can get very physically heavy.

4. Gorilla Glue

Gorilla Glue, or just Original Glue, is the parent of many phenotypes. It is undeniably potent, with THC concentrations among the highest of all, around 30 percent. A three-way cross of Chem’s Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel, this Indica-dominant strain will superglue you where you sit. One of the most popular strains everywhere, Gorilla Glue has a chocolatey coffee flavor loved by all who try it.

5. Gelato

Bred in California by the Cookie Fam, Gelato crosses the popular Sherbet and Thin Mint GSC weed strains. The pride of California’s cannabis scene, Gelato is a nicely balanced hybrid that blends Sativa and Indica effects to perfection. It starts out euphorically happy and energized, eventually turning sleepy. It can be a knockout strain, though, especially for novice users. Maybe not ideal if you have any jobs to do.

6. Jack Herer

When it comes to weed strains, Jack Herer is iconic in California. Legendary. Its buzz is so invigorating it turns even the laziest, unfit sloths among us energetic. Perfect for daytime use, this Sativa-dominant strain combines Haze, Northern Lights, and Shiva Skunk genetics, which also accounts for its fruity taste. This is a wonderful strain for newbies, since THC levels measure around a very reasonable 18 percent.

7.  Bruce Banner

Bruce Banner is famous in California for its potency. Tests measure levels of THC at 29 percent, making it one of the strongest stains available today. An Indica-dominant hybrid of OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel, two beloved strains in their own right, Bruce Banner is very much in demand. However, its potency is very physical. Numbing. Tranquilizing. Rather avoid operating heavy machinery. Stay home.

8. Girl Scout Cookies

Without doubt, Girl Scout Cookies has a famous reputation. Another California native, it is a multiple award winner and loved for its incredible potency. THC levels test as high as 28 percent, putting it in the strongest category. It balances its OG Kush and Durban Poison genes well, leaving you both soaring with euphoria before falling into bed a few hours later. This strain is so popular that shelves often empty of it.

9. Sour Diesel

This is a staple strain in the California marketplace. It holds a position of high esteem among cannabis connoisseurs everywhere. Although its fuel flavor is not the tastiest, its effects remain unrivalled. Sour Diesel is a Chemdawg 91 and Super Skunk baby, inheriting the Sativa-like effects of its parents. Its 19 percent THC score will get you out of the house doing something, so avoid this energetic strain at night.

10. Pineapple Express

One of the older, more iconic weed strains in California’s cannabis scene, Pineapple Express retains its popularity with vigor. A hybrid cross of Trainwreck and Hawaiian Sativa, it has THC levels that frequently measure around 25 percent. Incredibly potent, loved for it, Pineapple Express is the perfect busy strain. It uplifts, incentivizes, motivates, and gets the job done. For this reason, it is exclusively for daytime use.

    They always leave out my favorite strain: Brownie Scout by GTI’s Rhythm. This flower tests between 25% and 31% THCA and is a wonderful 80/20 indica dominant cultivar. Due to its powerful #’s it must be enjoyed responsibly. Not sure if you can find it on the West coast, but it’s certainly blooming in the East.
