Zkittlez, sometimes also spelled Skittlez or just Skittles, is an indica-dominant hybrid that erupts with fruit flavor. The creation of Northern California-based collective Dying Breed Seeds, this strain is descended from fruity indica favorite Grape Ape and tangy sativa Grapefruit. Skittles combines the mental and physical effects of both parent strains to yield a smooth, multifaceted high. This bud’s appeal was strong enough to earn the title of Best Indica at the 2015 High Times Cannabis Cup held in Michigan.

Like its namesake, this strain offers you the opportunity to taste the rainbow — but as it turns out Zkittlez lets you see a rainbow too. Depending on phenotype, the plant’s thick and chunky flowers appear in a variety of greens and purples, with vibrant orange hairs (or pistils) sprinkled throughout. The eye-catching purple hues are the result of high concentrations of anthocyanin pigments. The trimmed buds have a characteristically indica structure, tight and densely-packed, with smallish leaves. Finally, a dusting of cloudy white trichomes ensures both stickiness and psychoactivity. Its aroma is where Zkittlez really shines. When properly cured, Zkittlez’s flowers give off a kind of sweet-sour funk. A second whiff reveals slightly more distinct notes of berry and lemon. Grinding up the flowers intensifies the strain’s more sour notes, resulting in a kind of skunky character. When combusted in a pipe or joint, the flowers burn with a very pleasant and easily-inhaled smoke. On the exhale, this light smoke tastes fruity and grape-like. Notably, any detectable grape flavors are coincidental to the strain’s purple coloring; this is because the plant’s color are determined by pigmentation., while its flavor profile is determined by terpenes.

Although Zkittlez comes on relatively quickly, its head-focused effects tend to be subtle. Some slight pressure around the eyes and temples may occur at first. As smokers become accustomed to this feeling, though, they’re able to appreciate the strain’s action on their sensory perception. Odd experiences like visual and auditory distortions are commonly reported, as is a strange feeling of time passing more slowly. Such trippy, depersonalizing effects can be boosted by atmospheric enhancements, particularly moody music or a visually-engaging television show. At the same time that Zkittlez’s psychedelic trappings set in, users may also notice that their thoughts have taken on a newly plugged-in quality, with certain ideas seeming to occupy more space or attention than they otherwise might. This kind of cerebral energy can be a great way to work on detailed tasks, whether they’re complicated or more mundane, like cleaning the house. As the high wears on, a palpable body high creeps in to complement these mentally-activating effects. While this newfound relaxation isn’t liable to knock smokers out flat, it could just undo any earlier motivation to get through a long to-do list. In these later stages, Zkittlez is best enjoyed laidback circumstances. Because of its slow dip in energy levels, this bud is recommended for consumption between late afternoon and early evening.

Zkittlez can also have a few different applications for medical cannabis patients. The strain’s initially zoned-in mental properties can aid focus for those attention deficit disorders. As the body high takes over, it can temporarily soothe the symptoms of stress, depression, and anxiety. Physical benefits include relief from both chronic pain and minor, everyday irritation. Zkittlez can also cause a surge in appetite, helping out those who have lost their hunger to disease or to treatments like chemotherapy. Because of its potentially paranoid cerebral effects, patients who are prone to panic or who have a low THC tolerance should consume Zkittlez with some caution.

LA Kush Cake, also known as “Los Angeles Cake,” is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the infamous Gorilla Glue #4 X LA Kush strains. Known for its super potent high and delicious flavor, LA Cake will have you head over heels in no time at all. The high starts with a slam of uplifting effects that rush through your mind with a numbing effect, easing you into a warming and tingly relaxation. As your mind settles, your body will begin to follow suit, dropping you into a sedative state that quickly turns powerfully sleepy, leaving you dozing off in no time at all. With these effects and its super high 19-26% average THC level, LA Cake is often chosen to treat those suffering from conditions such as chronic pain, depression or mood swings, chronic stress, headaches or migraines and chronic fatigue. This bud has a deep spicy herbal flavor with a deep diesel exhale. The aroma is of pungent woody pine and heavy spicy diesel, intensifying as the nugs are broken apart and burned away. LA Cake buds have long tight popcorn-shaped dark olive green nugs with thin orange hairs and a frosty thick blanket of tiny amber crystal trichomes.
