What is the Cherry Pie Strain?
Cherry Pie Kush species has its origins extending for many decades back to the state of California. It is mostly consumed as an overly Indica dominant hybrid strain that comprises an ideal fusion of uplifting and concurrently relaxing effects.
Due to these properties, it is loved by all its users. Its genetic origins arise from a combination of Granddaddy Purple (the Indica component) and Durban Poison (the Sativa component).
It is often referred to as ‘Cherry Kush’ by some cannabis shop owners, dispensaries, and consumers. Its genetics commonly comprise 30 percent Sativa and 70 percent Indica. Lab test results investigating the Cherry Pie strain THC levels have always been reported as incredible. The THC levels are reported in the range of 15-25 percent while CBG reaches the range of 1 percent.
Therefore, Cherry Pie is regarded as a considerably strong strain scientifically due to its high THC amounts that surpass the norm of other marijuana strains. These elevated levels are responsible for its medicinal benefits and its ability to make users ‘high’.
