Blue Dream, originating in Northern California, is a cross between Blueberry Indica with the Sativa Haze. This Grade A strain gives you a Sativa dominant hybrid that is an absolute delight to smoke. The THC and CBD levels are on the higher side yet Blue Dream remains a great strain for beginners and veterans alike. The full-body relaxation effects from the Blueberry Indica pair with the invigorating cerebral high of the Haze Sativa for a well-rounded high that comes on strong and leaves you feeling relaxed.

One of the most popular strains on the market it has a woody and somewhat fruity flavor. Much like its Blueberry parent, this strain emits a tantalizing blueberry aroma and tastes like sweet berries. Dense buds look almost like popcorn and are typically a medium green color with clusters of orange pistils and when grown well, will be frosted with a thick layer of sticky trichomes. It is popular among day-time smokers because it doesn’t have the same sedative effects as some Indica heavy strains.

  • Stress
  • Pain
  • Anxiety
  • Depression

  • Arthritis
  • Glaucoma
  • Migraines
