Green Crack Strain | Blue Crack Strain

Snoop Dogg renamed this strain when he sampled its ridiculously potent effects. Of course, after the Snoop Doggy Dog Dog himself tried this strain you know that everyone wants to have a go. They have a good reason, too, as it’s an exceptional sativa strain that will blow your mind. You’re going to want to be a stoner before you try this strain, however, as newcomers may literally and metaphorically have their socks blown off from this one. The name doesn’t really need any explanation, as it obviously comes from Snoop comparing this strain to cocaine.

This strain is sometimes called Sour Crack or the Blue Crack strain.

Green Crack: Sativa or Indica?

This delightful sativa strain has dense buds that are typical to a sativa. Bred in the 1970s, it’s a fruity strain that has both potency and flavor. Those who get their hands on this strain will first notice the trichomes that cover it. These make for perfect grinding, and, once you’ve ground this strain up, you’ll truly begin to appreciate its magnificence. If you really want to enjoy this strain properly, you should also stick it inside a flower vaporizer. The main advantages of using a flower vaporizer are:

Less adulterated taste, as no combustion of plant material or paper
You need less weed to get you as high
You can feel the trichomes hit the back of your throat
You can use your leftover bud to make edibles

Just give it a try. We know blunts get the cooler rep, but a flower vape really is the best way to smoke like a real Green Crack strain.

Green Crack genetics

The lineage of Green Crack strain is murky. It’s a very disputed tale, but it goes all the way back to the 1970s. It was thought to be created in Georgia, and that it’s descended from these two strains:

Skunk #1
Afghani Landrace

Green Crack THC and CBD content

Green Crack’s THC content was considered to be incredibly high in the 1970s. Nowadays, the average sativa has around 13% THC. Real Green Crack strain can test all the way up to 24%, which is obviously very high. However, its average falls around 17%. Green Crack packs a punch, but it’s not as fearful as its name may suggest. If you have reasonably high tolerance, don't worry too much about taking a hit from this strain. If you’re a new smoker, however, you may find this strain is a bit of a one-hitter strain.

Green Crack price

Green Crack strain isn’t that expensive. Any strain that's not super rare and was created before 2000 is typically fairly cheap. That is simply because there are far danker, harder-hitting strains these days that are in higher demand on the market. This strain will be the standard price of around $10 a gram anywhere in the world.

Green Crack taste

Green Crack strain is descended from Skunk #1. As such, you can expect the classic skunky flavors associated with these strains. However, it’s also crossed with a landrace strain, which carries with it a nice amount of fruitiness. Landrace strains are known for their earthy or fruity flavors, and Green Crack definitely carries on this tradition. You should enjoy this strain ground up inside a flower vaporizer, for the maximum taste spectrum. The full taste palate of Green Crack is:

Earthy
Citrus
Sweet

Green Crack oil, wax, shatter, edibles, etc.

The two things that concentrate creators look for when choosing a strain are potency and taste. As we’ve already discussed, Green Crack has both of these in a decent amount. Thus, it makes a great choice for making into Butane Hash Oil. Please be careful if you’re attempting this at home, as you could very well burn your house down (it has been done before!).

For edibles, it doesn’t really matter what strain you use. That is because the potency of edibles is more dependent on how effective your decarboxylation method is, rather than the actual potency of the original herb. Without decarbing your weed your edibles will have little to no potency. The other thing you have to do before creating edibles is to mix your decarbed weed with a fat or oil.
