Cannabis Strain Pillars

The cool thing about cannabis is that there are so many choices these days, from edibles to pre-=rolls to flower and tinctures, there are a ton of great ways to consume cannabis. This is something that’s been around for a while, but do you know where it began? Read on to find out about the top three pillars of cannabis: Kush, Haze, and Skunk 

What are the three Pillars 

These are the pillars that most modern strains are based off of, because they offer a flavor which is robust, and an aroma that really sets the stage. Usually, most hybrids come from the genetics of these three. To understand this better though, we’ll go over each of the three pillars below to help you understand why hundreds of hybrid strains come from this. 

Haze 

Haze is known for being uplifting and energizing, and is known for the effects that are long-lasting, along with aromas too. They offer psychoactive effects without making you feel couch locked and are great for indulging in settings that are social with other people. Despite being popular, a lot of people don’t grow this because it takes up to 16 weeks to grow, and it’s high miniatous. The Haze also is based on Columbian Gold and Indian Sativa types of cannabis. 

This is something that has a terpene profile that’s very citrusy and sweet, and it offers better creativity and euphoria too, and is composed of different tepees including myrcene, humulene, and beta caryophyllene as well, in order to give it the taste and aroma that you love. While haze is one of the key parts, there is no evidence that does date back to the genetics of this, and some of us do speculate this was a strain that almost died out. 

Skunk 

This is similar to the other counterparts, with a questionable origin. Thesis associated with the mammal that’s kind of stinky, and the strain gets the name from this. This is something that’s high in THC, and this is a strain that also does have more modern origins. It’s very potent and adaptable, and it usually has up to 14% THC in it, with different psychoactive effects. It is sweet and skunky in smell, and helps you relax, and myrcene is the main compound that’s a part of this strain. 

Kush 

Kush is the third pillar, and this is something that is from Hindu Kush mountains where it’s supposedly descended from. This is something that actually grows naturally in some places. This is known for the purple in the plant that makes it look the way it does and is combined with a pungent and piney smell to it, with floral essence hinted in it. 

A lot of users love the citrusy and flowery smell to this, and with 18% THC, this is one that’s great for pure relaxation along with happiness. While the effects are a bit generic in the strain, the actual feelings and the psychoactive results do vary. There are a lot of variants of this as well, and it’s good for those who want something intense in the evening to relax your mind. 

Most major cannabis strains come from one of these there and they’ve been bred and altered to create some of the most award-winning strains out there. They in it of themselves is strong as it is, and with each of these with various hybrids, it definitely is something worth looking into if you’re a cannabis connoisseur, and someone who is passionate not just abut the plant itself, but the many different applications of use for this.
