sour patch Kiss

Sour Patch Kiss strain is a cross between Sour Kush and Exotic Genetic’s sweet, biscuity Kimbo Kush. It was developed by Elev8 Seeds, the same breeders who have stabilized popular strains like Gorilla Cookies. It offers a balanced (but slightly sativa-dominant) high alongside a funky berry taste. Its potency has been measured at between 21% and a whopping 31% THC.

It also has several uses for medical cannabis patients. Its easygoing and productive vibes can temporarily help those struggling with mild to moderate stress or depression. It may also help those with attention deficit disorders to maintain focus on the tasks in front of them. Sedative properties can soothe users’ aches and pains, while patients who have lost their appetites to disease or medication may find themselves suddenly hungry. It is not recommended for those who are prone to panic or who have a low THC tolerance, as the force of its early cerebral effects can be overwhelming.

Although its tart flavor profile can prove divisive, Sour Patch Kiss strain offers a versatile high that can be enjoyed in a variety of contexts. This strain’s attention-grabbing name could just backfire, though — in 2016, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission banned 14 strains on the grounds that their names might appeal to children; if Sour Patch Kiss continues to gain popularity, it may find itself the target of a similar ban.
