(AAA-) Blueberry (Variety)

What’s Blueberry cannabis strain all about?

Blueberry is a popular, flavor-forward indica hybrid with a strong genetic backbone. It is a three-way cross between an indica Afghani parent and sativa Thai and Purple Thai variant parents. Blueberry was originally developed in the 1970s or 80s by DJ Short, a mysterious but prolific breeder who’s been dubbed the “Willy Wonka of pot.” Blueberry is distinguished by an unmistakable fresh blueberry smell and taste that have made it an enduring favorite. Blueberry is popular nationwide. It won top marks in the 2000 High Times Cannabis Cup for Best Indica and best strain overall. Blueberry has a THC content that ranges between 15% and 24%.

Blueberry is an indica dominant hybrid (80% indica/20% sativa) strain with unknown true parentage. This bud has been traced back to the early 70’s when the infamous American breeder DJ Short started playing around with different landrace strains, ultimately resulting in this insanely delicious variety.

Blueberry Appearance & Taste

Often described as a “one hit and quit” strain, Blueberry is notably potent, even for experienced cannabis enthusiasts. Users are quickly struck with a sense of physical heaviness that may be disorienting in situations that require mobility or coordination. In relaxed settings, this physical sensation can translate into a therapeutic calmness, allowing users to unwind after a long day or week of work. The sativa genetics confer some slight mental effects, but these take the form of euphoric uplift more than of cerebral thoughtfulness; smokers may feel chatty or even giggly. In high enough doses, Blueberry will leave users heavy and couchlocked — this is not an ideal strain for productivity and is better suited to tranquil evening use.

Medically speaking, Blueberry has almost narcotic properties. It is of use to those with pain conditions — both short-term pain due to injury or exercise or long-term chronic pain related to disease or nerve damage. It can also help relieve some of the troubling symptoms of stress, anxiety and PTSD, creating a physical relaxation strong enough to ease a racing, pre-occupied mind. Most notably, Blueberry can induce a deep and lasting sleep and therefore serve as an antidote to entrenched insomnia. Side effects of this strain include the typical dry mouth and red eyes. Its heaviness can also result in droopy, unfocused eyes. As noted, a little bit of Blueberry goes a long way and its high is said to last longer than average.

Blueberry Effects

Just like rain on a tin roof at night, Purple Raine has a way of relaxing you to the core. She initially brings about strong cerebral effects that include an increase in creative energy along with heightened focus, so try using a bit of this strain to work on a long-forgotten project. Joy will overtake you as your high continues, but get ready to come down in the best way possible. If you’re sensitive to cannabis, you can expect to fall asleep quite deeply while others just might feel intensely relaxed.

Given that she’s a balanced hybrid, this strain offers the best of all worlds when it comes to medicinal relief. Individuals who often have sad evenings will enjoy watching their anxiety and depression dissolve away, making room for the ability to fall asleep with a smile on their face. Symptoms of arthritis and even appetite concerns can also easily be addressed by this bud, making her one that you should have on hand at all times.

It has a THC level of 19 percent. It is generally used for treating different types of pain and is quite good at this job. Patients who use Purple Rain for relieving their chronic pains do get relief from it once they smoke this strain. However, it is not great to be used as a relaxant. It does not give a very strong buzz, but if it suits you then you will certainly calm down after using it. Purple Rain is also used for stimulating hunger, so people desiring to increase their appetite for gaining weight can use this strain as well. Its buzz length is not very long; after an hour, you will feel its effects vanishing away.

Final Thoughts on Blueberry

This bud has been traced back to the early 70’s when the infamous American breeder DJ Short started playing around with different landrace strains, ultimately resulting in this insanely delicious variety. It is thought to be descended from Purple Thai X Afghan, but we will never know for sure. Nonetheless, Blueberry is one of the most popular strains on the market and took home the 2000 Best Indica award at the High Times’ Cannabis Cup thanks to its high-powered effects and mouthwatering blueberry vanilla flavor. The Blueberry high has a euphoric and hazy feel to it that creeps up on you slowly before washing over you with a sense of calm and ease.

As this high grows, your mind will fall into a state of hazy introspection that immediately erases any negative or racing thoughts and numbs the brain. With these relaxing effects and its high 16-24% average THC level, Blueberry is said to be perfect for treating conditions such as chronic fatigue, depression, migraines, and chronic stress or anxiety. This bud has grape-shaped olive green nugs with bright blue undertones, fiery orange hairs, and a frosty thick coating of tiny amber colored crystal trichomes. It has a smell much like the taste, with a spicy yet sweet earthy vanilla effect that’s accented by fragrant florals.
