We all know that cannabis strains have some weird names. And the Green Crack strain is no exception. 

 

This strain with an odd name is one of the most popular cannabis strains to come out in the last decade, and people from all across the country seek it out when shopping from dispensaries. 

 

But, what is the Green Crack strain? What kind of effects does it have on people, and how does it taste and smell? Let’s find out. 

The History of the Green Crack Strain

Like most strains in the cannabis industry, Green Crack has a slightly ambiguous history, and we aren’t 100% sure where it came from. 

But, from what we can tell, cultivators curated this strain back in the 1970s in Athens, Georgia. 

Interestingly enough, originally, the strain was named “Cush” (like that, with a ‘C’) and was renamed “Green Crack” by — surprise! Snoop Dogg after he experienced its potent sativa-like effects.

It provided a sharp energy and focus boost, leading to its somewhat controversial name. 

These days, you may actually find this strain called Green Crush simply because of the drug associated with the original name.

Affordable weed? It's all in the card.

Having an MMJ card means paying less for your top-shelf bud -- and getting more of it.

What Type of Cannabis is Green Crack?

Unlike other cannabis strains, we aren’t exactly sure who Green Crack’s parents are. Let’s explain. 

 

We know that Green Crack is the result of Skunk #1 (a classic hybrid strain) and some unknown indica. The cross between the two curated a buzzy, sativa-dominant strain that’s just as much of an anomaly as its genetics. 

 

Yes, Green Crack is a sativa strain, meaning it’s going to be best for those who enjoy the more stimulating results that sativas tend to bring. 

 

However, the strain does have prominent indica genetics, making it good for stress relief. But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves: we can talk about the Green Crack strain effects next.

The Common Effects of Green Crack Weed

So, what do most people experience when they smoke Green Crack cannabis? 

 

With the strain’s sativa genetics, you’re likely going to pick up on very buzzy, energetic notes. It’s not uncommon to take a few puffs and feel more creative and inclined to do artsy things.

 

Or, you may just feel motivated enough to tackle everything on your to-do list! 

 

In general, most people find that the Green Crack strain is good for reducing stress relief and boosting moods. You may feel more social and euphoric when adding some Green Crack to your smoke sesh. 

 

However, if you’re prone to anxiety, be aware that this strain may be too strong and too stimulating for you. 

 

Many people find that Green Crack makes them feel paranoid if they’re already predisposed to anxiety before consumption.

Upon smoking, you’ll notice that Green Crack also offers some earthy, woody flavors mixed in with the tangy, fruity notes. 

 

And, if you’ve got a super-refined flavor palate, you may even pick up the subtle hints of floral that this strain promotes. 

 

 

In general, the Green Crack strain has a very complex flavor profile that customers of all preferences.

As the powerhouse behind Elevate Holistics, Aspen is on a mission to make medical marijuana access easier, faster, and way less intimidating. What started with answering phones and scheduling appointments turned into building one of the most trusted telehealth platforms in cannabis. She's certified through Cannabis Training University and Healer.com, but her real education? Listening to patients and living it herself. Aspen isn’t just running a company. She’s helping lead a movement. A cannabis patient, mom, and fierce believer in plant medicine, she’s working to normalize weed in a world that still whispers about it. Her take? If you can unwind with a glass of wine, you should be able to do the same with cannabis. No shame, no stigma, no side-eye. Inside the business, Aspen runs a tight ship built on the strong foundation already in place. She’s focused on making patients happy, improving systems, and finding smarter ways to work. Since taking the reins at Elevate Holistics, she’s streamlined turnaround times, improved tech, and introduced a four-day workweek to support team balance and performance. She believes burnout is out. Balance is in. And when teams feel good, they do great work. Outside of Elevate, Aspen mentors other entrepreneurs (especially women breaking into crowded spaces), helps patients feel seen and empowered, and occasionally jumps on a podcast to speak the truth about cannabis and leadership. You may have heard her on Getting Elevated with Aspen Noonan (CannaBlogger’s Corner) and The Healing Plant: Cannabis Myths vs. Medical Miracles (Life Conversations with a Twist) -  insights that dive deep into plant medicine, leadership, and breaking stigma. She also trained Arlee Riveland, now CEO of Craft Telemedicine, and she’s just getting started. Aspen’s not here to follow rules. She’s here to rewrite them. For healthcare. For cannabis. For women in business. And for her daughter, who she hopes sees every day that purpose, power, and balance can all belong in the same life.
