If you are a fan of a potent cannabis high, well, my friend, you have hit the jackpot because we are listing our top picks for the most potent strains to try. These legendary strains are known for their exceptional THC percentages, which are responsible for such potent effects. New users beware! This list is not for the faint of heart.
Let’s begin
White Truffle Strain
Beautifully colored White Truffle with its iconic frosty looks, this is an iconic hybrid that is known to boast upwards of 30 percent THC. Even better is the low CBD content. This strain is known for its nutty and skunky aroma and earthy notes that give way to a very potent euphoric rush. Parents for the White Truffle strain are traced back to GG4 and the Peanut Butter Breath Strain.
A relatively new strain to the market but has been winning hearts and minds ever since.
Peanut Butter Breath
From leaving its legacy in the White Truffle strain and many others, the Peanut Butter Breath strain is a behemoth of its own. This is a strong indica-dominant hybrid, known for its high 28 percent THC content. And as the name suggests, expect a complete buttery taste with hints of nuttiness with every puff you take. This hybrid is the offspring of the Do Si Dos and Mendo Breath strains. Have a fun and tasty flow of euphoria with every breath of the Peanut Butter Breath.
Godfather OG
A name like that should attract legendary status. Get ready for an epic punch of over 34 percent THC content. Well, let us repeat, 34 percent of THC. That is a lot of THC for such a conservative strain. A hybrid cross of the OG Kush, Cherry Pie, and the Granddaddy Purps, many even call this strain the “Don of Kush”. Generally, strains over 25 percent are considered potent, but the Godfather OG is in a league of its own. If you are fascinated by a strong mental euphoria, do give this strain a try.
Chemdawg
Another entry on this list over the 30 percent THC mark is the Chemdawg strain. Chemdawg’s lineage is shrouded in mystery and all that is known is that this strain is a cross of a Nepalese and Thai sativa strain. The iconic pungent smell of the strain lends its name and somehow feels like gasoline. The Chemdawg strain has 32 percent THC and thus it ranks on this list. You should also know that the Chemdawg has parented several strains including the iconic Sour Diesel.
Bruce Banner
Get ready for a hulking smash of euphoria with the Bruce Banner #3 strain. Lovechild of the Strawberry Diesel and the OG Kush, this powerful hybrid is known for its high THC content of over 27 percent. Quite the chill and mellow high, the effects are accompanied by sweet berry-like tones and diesel-like aftertaste which speaks volumes about the rich heritage of this strain. Make sure to take it a bit slow with this one as the hulking effects come within minutes of consuming this hybrid.
Royal Gorilla
Another strain with 27 percent THC potency, the Royal Gorilla strain too, like the Bruce Banner strain is going to offer some incredible high. Borrowing genetics from the Chocolate Diesel, Chem’s Sis, and Sour Dubb strains, the flavors are quite spectacular. Expect a very lemony and sweet taste with every puff. This flavor gives way to a more piney and earthy aftertaste. Something sure to satiate all types of smokers. The strain is known for its balanced high that offers a more uplifting and happy effect on the mood of the consumer.
Strawberry Banana
Enjoy a smooth dessert delight with the Strawberry Banana strain. The Strawberry Banana strain is an indica dominant hybrid that draws its lineage from the Strawberry Bubblegum and the Banana Kush strains and has been regularly topping the charts of the most potent strains. Growers have been able to clock in over 31 percent of THC content into this strain. And staying true to its name, the strain features a banana and strawberry-like taste. Hardly any surprise there. This amazingly sweet taste gives way to a very fruity aftertaste that is sure to linger as long as the effect does.
Critical Kush
Let’s finish this list with a more mild strain of 25 percent THC content. This is the Critical Kush strain which is a complete indica strain. A potent hybrid of the OG Kush and Critical Mass strains. Don’t let the 25 percent THC content lull you into a sense of overconfidence as this strain is capable of some powerful highs and potent flavors. A very pleasant earthy aroma with herbal hints along with a citric and piney taste, makes you fall in love with the Critical Kush.
Well, there you have it. These are undeniably some of the strongest strains to try out today. Backed with several awards, every strain mentioned on the list is capable of sweeping you off your feet with its strong high.
