FEATURED CANNABIS STRAIN
OMG
OMG is not subtle cannabis. Crack open a container of properly cured flower and the first impression can resemble garlic crushed over damp earth beside an open fuel can, followed by creamy mint…

- 1988 High Times Cannabis Cup: History, Winners and the Birth of a Cannabis Institution
The 1988 High Times Cannabis Cup was nothing like the enormous cannabis festivals that would eventually carry the name. There were no packed convention halls, celebrity concerts, sprawling vendor expos or thousands of public judges. Instead, the inaugural competition was a small Amsterdam gathering… Read more: 1988 High Times Cannabis Cup: History, Winners and the Birth of a Cannabis Institution - Scented Marker
Scented Marker sounds like a novelty name until the jar opens. The connection becomes obvious almost immediately. A sharp chemical-gas odor cuts through the sweeter fruit underneath, creating an aroma that can genuinely suggest fresh marker ink before pineapple, citrus and candy begin to… Read more: Scented Marker - Florida Gaspack
Florida Gaspack comes from the period when “gas” still meant something specific in marijuana breeding. Rather than a broad label applied to anything vaguely fuel-scented, the term described weed strains built from Chemdawg and OG lines capable of producing genuinely abrasive aromas: gasoline, acetone,… Read more: Florida Gaspack - Sherbacio
Sherbacio sits near the center of the modern California dessert cannabis family tree, yet its personality is more savory and complicated than the name suggests. Alien Labs created the cultivar by crossing Sunset Sherbet with Gelato #41, bringing two closely related but individually distinctive… Read more: Sherbacio - Chiesel
Some cannabis crosses are memorable because they soften the extremes of their parents. Chiesel does almost the opposite. Big Buddha Seeds took two of the loudest flavor families of their era—British Cheese and Soma’s NYC Diesel—and deliberately pushed them together. The resulting weed carries… Read more: Chiesel - Candy Cane Brain
Candy Cane Brain comes from an era when a strain name could be strange without needing to describe a dessert. Developed by Shadow Seed Co., this largely indica marijuana hybrid was built around fruit-heavy Canadian genetics and a breeding program centered on the obscure… Read more: Candy Cane Brain - Sugar Babe
Sugar Babe is one of those marijuana strains whose name creates exactly the wrong expectation. Nothing about the original Paradise Seeds cultivar was built around candy, frosting or the syrupy dessert flavors that dominate modern dispensary menus. Its calling card was considerably stranger: dense… Read more: Sugar Babe - Exile
Exile belongs to a nearly vanished chapter of Dutch cannabis breeding. Rather than being another contemporary marijuana cultivar assembled from Cookies, Gelato or modern dessert genetics, it was created during the period when Northern Lights, White Widow, Skunk and Afghan-derived lines formed the backbone… Read more: Exile - Kushage
Kushage occupies an interesting place among old-school marijuana hybrids because it does not simply pile more heaviness onto the familiar Kush formula. T.H. Seeds deliberately paired OG Kush with S.A.G.E. to open the experience up, adding the latter plant’s brighter cerebral character and distinctive… Read more: Kushage - Cannabis After Surgery: Pain, Healing and Medication Interactions
Cannabis is increasingly used for chronic pain, sleep problems, nausea, anxiety, and other symptoms that may also become troublesome during recovery from surgery. That overlap naturally raises a question for patients who already use marijuana or CBD: can cannabis help after an operation, or… Read more: Cannabis After Surgery: Pain, Healing and Medication Interactions - Marijuana and Blood Pressure Medication: Can Cannabis Interact With Hypertension Drugs?
Millions of adults take medication every day to control high blood pressure, often for decades. At the same time, medical cannabis, CBD oils, gummies, tinctures, and other cannabinoid products have become increasingly common. That overlap raises an important question: Can marijuana interact with blood… Read more: Marijuana and Blood Pressure Medication: Can Cannabis Interact With Hypertension Drugs? - Medical Marijuana for Endometriosis Pain
Endometriosis pain can be difficult to describe to someone who has never experienced it. For some patients, it means intensely painful menstrual cramps. For others, it produces chronic pelvic aching, stabbing sensations, pain during intercourse, painful bowel movements, bladder symptoms, lower-back discomfort, or pain… Read more: Medical Marijuana for Endometriosis Pain - Medical Marijuana for Sciatica and Sciatic Nerve Pain: What the Research Shows
Sciatica can produce a combination of burning, electric, stabbing, tingling, or shooting pain that behaves very differently from an ordinary muscle ache. Because the problem often involves an irritated or compressed spinal nerve root, conventional painkillers do not always provide satisfactory relief. That has… Read more: Medical Marijuana for Sciatica and Sciatic Nerve Pain: What the Research Shows - Trump Signs Federal Hemp THC Ban Delay Into Law, Pushing Deadline to December
President Donald Trump has signed legislation delaying most of the sweeping federal restrictions scheduled to hit hemp-derived THC and cannabinoid products this fall. The White House confirmed that Trump signed H.R. 6500, the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027, on September 2, 2026. The… Read more: Trump Signs Federal Hemp THC Ban Delay Into Law, Pushing Deadline to December - Congress Passes Delay of Federal Hemp THC Ban, Sending Bill to Trump
U.S. Congress has approved a temporary delay of sweeping new federal restrictions on hemp-derived THC and other cannabinoid products, sending the legislation to President Donald Trump after an unexpectedly lopsided House vote. On September 1, 2026, the House voted 370-48 to accept the Senate… Read more: Congress Passes Delay of Federal Hemp THC Ban, Sending Bill to Trump - Cocoa Kush vs Chocolate Kush
Cocoa Kush and Chocolate Kush sound like they should be closely related, but the two cannabis strains come from very different genetic backgrounds. Cocoa Kush is a boutique DJ Short cultivar built from his celebrated Blueberry breeding lines, combining Blueberry Sativa with an Original… Read more: Cocoa Kush vs Chocolate Kush - Cannabis and Eliquis: Can Marijuana Affect Blood Thinners?
Eliquis (apixaban) is one of the most commonly prescribed blood thinners in the United States, used to prevent or treat dangerous blood clots and to reduce stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation. At the same time, medical and recreational cannabis use has expanded… Read more: Cannabis and Eliquis: Can Marijuana Affect Blood Thinners? - House Set to Vote on Delaying Federal Hemp THC Ban as Congress Weighs New Regulations
Congress is approaching a consequential decision for the rapidly expanding hemp-derived cannabinoid industry. The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to consider H.R. 6500, the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027, a Senate-passed government funding measure that would postpone most of a sweeping new… Read more: House Set to Vote on Delaying Federal Hemp THC Ban as Congress Weighs New Regulations - Best THC / CBD Ratio for Sleep: What the Research Actually Shows
Cannabis is increasingly used as a sleep aid, but choosing between THC-dominant, CBD-dominant, and balanced products is not as straightforward as many product labels make it seem. A ratio such as 1:1, 1:2, or 20:1 describes the relative amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol… Read more: Best THC / CBD Ratio for Sleep: What the Research Actually Shows - Rocklock
Rocklock belongs to a generation of cannabis strains bred before elaborate dessert names and 30%-THC marketing became the center of the strain market. DNA Genetics gave the cultivar a much simpler assignment: take two heavy, resinous parents, shorten the flowering cycle, keep the plant… Read more: Rocklock
