St. Patrick's Day is well known for its lively festivities, parades and celebration of Irish culture. You may associate certain liquors with St. Patricks day - Bailey's Irish cream, Jameson Irish whiskey and Guinness. However, there is a growing trend of people swapping their traditional Irish liquors, with something green. That's right, marijuana. With the growing trend towards increased legalization, many people are reaching for the bong instead of the bottle. If you want to keep a traditional St. Patrick's Day, there are many strains you can opt for to stay on theme.
Green Crack: In line with the name, green crack is a potent sativa. This strain will have you energetic and focused on St. Paddy's Day. This is perfect to smoke during the daytime while watching the parade.
Rainbow Sherbert: A hybrid known for its euphoric effects. This strain is a cross between Champagne Kush and Blackberry.
Irish Cream: An indica with a super high percentage of THC (25%!) This strain will help you relax and unwind at the end of the St. Paddy's Day festivities.
Rainbow Belts: Another indica strain that will leave you happy and relaxed. This strain helps with insomnia so I would suggest leaving this strain until the end of the night as well. Rainbow Belts is a cross of Moonbow and Zkittlez.
Bodhi Charks AKA Lucky Charms: A hybrid known for its creative and happy effects. This bud can be characterized by its large brown hairs.
Lucky: An indica dominant hybrid cross between Ice Cream Cake and Sherbert. This strain has a THC percentage of 29%.
Green Gelato: This is a rare cannabis breed. This indica dominant hybrid is the only strain cultivated by Grow West in Maryland. This strain is known for its medicinal effects for treating stress, pain, and insomnia. It also has a minty flavor, making it perfect for St. Patrick's Day.
Green Dream: A sativa dominant hybrid descendant of Green Crack (mentioned in #1) and Blue Dream.
Green Kush: Another offspring of Green Crack as well as Purple Kush. Green kush can be identified by its piney smell and kief heavy appearance.
Green Haze: A strain of Thai and South Indian ancestry, bred by A.C.E. Seeds. This strain is known for its "psychedelic" effects if you're trying to get trippy this St. Paddy's day. Hunger is also a side effect for this strain, so definitely smoke this before you bring out the Irish soda bread, corn beef, potatoes and cabbage.
Green Goddess: Last but not least, unleash your inner goddess with this indica dominant hybrid. Daughter of Skunk #1 and Sweet Leaf Indica. This strain is known for its euphoric effects and rose aroma. The crystals on this strain are just insane. She's a beauty.
As we immerse ourselves in the rich heritage of Irish culture on this St. Patricks Day, it's evident that new customs are emerging, reflecting changing perceptions and legal frameworks surrounding cannabis. Whether you are raising your glass or hitting your joint, I wish you a Happy St. Patricks Day!
