Pineapple Express Cannabis Strain
About the Pineapple Express Strain
Yep, we know, you saw the movie, loved it, and now you’re into it. But truth be told, this strain was around long before the stoner pal movie came out. The idea had to come from somewhere, right? The Pineapple Express Strain has likely launched a thousand screenplays since it’s a strain known for enhancing creativity!
Born from the Trainwreck and Hawaiian strains, the Pineapple Express Strain is a Sativa dominant hybrid that offers a perfect combination of flavorful power. While the movie makes it out to be the incredible mind-altering buzz, that’s Hollywood for ya. It’s not THAT potent, but it’s a solid, soothing, body-numbing buzz that makes you happy and comfortable.
The movie made it popular but the Dutch have been on to this strain well before that, and well, if the Dutch like it, you know it’s gotta be a good strain!
Pineapple Express Strain and the Senses
Flavor
Basically it’s like a fruit stand at a farmers market. In addition to cannabinoids – the flavor also comes from the terpenes and flavonoids – the typically woody musky flavor, there’s, well, pineapple flavors, along with apple and mango. The aroma is strong but it also carries over to taste. It’s not a sweet fruity flavor, though, and does leave a pine aftertaste.
