Classic Strains Still Reign Supreme in 2024

Share

There’s an old children’s rhyme: “Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, and the other’s gold.” This wisdom applies to cannabis too. While the 2020s have brought incredible strain innovation, the classics continue to hold their own. Let’s revisit some of 2024’s top-selling strains:

  • Blue Dream: This Blueberry x Haze hybrid from Santa Cruz remains a fan favorite. Its blueberry terpenes and uplifting effects continue to delight.
  • Apple Fritter: Lumpy’s Sour Apple x Animal Cookies cross holds the #2 spot. Its sweet and funky aroma, combined with euphoric effects, makes it a perennial contender.
  • Gelato: This Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint GSC cross, known for its “candy gas” flavor, remains a popular choice.
  • Wedding Cake: Triangle Kush x Animal Mints, with its vanilla and pepper notes, continues to captivate. Its offshoots like Ice Cream Cake and Purple Push Pop also enjoy cult followings.
  • Granddaddy Purple: This Mendo Purps x Skunk x Afghanistan strain, prized for its dark coloration and pain-relieving effects, remains a sought-after classic.
  • Durban Poison: This South African landrace sativa offers an intensely uplifting and energizing experience with its sharp, skunky peppercorn aroma.
  • Pineapple Express: Trainwreck x Hawaiian, known for its tropical tang and turpentine notes, lives up to its name with its zany, full-bellied laughter-inducing effects.
  • Strawberry Cough: This mysterious strain, possibly a cross of Strawberry Fields and Haze, continues to intrigue with its skunky berry terpenes and anxiety-relieving properties.

These classic strains prove that time-tested quality and consistent effects remain highly valued in the ever-evolving cannabis market.
