blue crush strain

Originally bred by Riot Seeds by crossing a number of strains, including Orange Dream and Sandstorm, this elusive strain goes by many names. Perhaps its most popular, simplest and most recent nomenclature is Blue Crush, though it also is referred to as Blue Cap Crush, Blue Dreamsicle, and was initially named by the creators and growers at Riot Seeds as Stormy Orange Dream. A powerfully potent sativa dominant hybrid, its THC levels reach upwards of 20% potency, delivering bursts of euphoria! It also contains about 2% CBD, making it particularly captivating to users seeking medically effective sativa strains. With a rare blend of sweet vanilla, berry and citrus flavours, you’ll be crushing on this strain in no time!

Effects

The Blue Crush strain is highly recognized for its powerfully uplifting cerebral high which will leave users feeling euphoric and completely happy with a slight boost of energy. As your mood is elevated, it provides relief from depression, anxiety and stress. The head high does come down as the high progresses, and users will then also gain a sense of ease and contentment as a calmness washes over you both mentally and physically. The tranquility of these Blue Crush effects are not sedating, though the strong sense of calm does offer bodily relief from chronic pains as well as nausea. The high can last anywhere between 2 – 4 hours on average, so it can be used in the morning or during the day time for some uplift and relief, though as it is quite potent, users may want to be careful of what lies ahead in their schedule. Because it is so relaxing, it is quite versatile and can also be used during evenings for some down time before heading to bed!

THC Content

Blue Crush is a near pure sativa dominant hybrid with 90% sativa dominance to a mere 10% indica. Its THC concentration varies between 17% to 20% on average, as well as a dank average of 2% CBD, which is quite above the norm in comparison to other sativa strains and make it held in high regard to medical users of cannabis who seek the medical benefits of CBD.
