What Strain is Forbidden Fruit?
Before we talk about how this bud works in the body, let’s answer the question everyone is asking: what strain is Forbidden Fruit? More specifically, is Forbidden Fruit an indica or a sativa?
Well, the Forbidden Fruit strain boasts a rich genetic lineage, combining the best traits of its parent strains. It results from the crossbreeding of Cherry Pie and Tangie, two well-known and highly respected strains in the cannabis world.
The result? A heavy indica strain.
Cherry Pie contributes its dense bud structure and potent indica effects, providing a relaxing and sedative experience. Tangie, on the other hand, brings in its vibrant citrus aroma and uplifting sativa effects, creating a balanced hybrid that appeals to a wide range of users.
The genetics of Forbidden Fruit result in a visually stunning plant, with deep purple hues, orange hairs, and a generous coating of trichomes. Trust us: it’s a pretty one.
Six years strong. Trusted since 2019.
Having an MMJ card means paying less for your top-shelf bud -- and getting more of it.
What Does Forbidden Fruit Smell and Taste Like?
If you couldn’t tell by the name, Forbidden Fruit offers a distinct and captivating aroma, immediately hitting the senses with a burst of sweet, fruity notes reminiscent of fresh berries and citrus.
The scent profile, dominated by the tangy zest of grapefruit and hints of tropical fruits, provides a refreshing and invigorating experience.
When smoked or vaporized, the flavor of Forbidden Fruit mirrors its aroma, delivering a complex and enjoyable taste.
You can expect to experience a mouthful of rich berry flavors, underscored by a subtle earthiness and a touch of pine, all wrapped up in a smooth, fruity exhale.
This combination of scents and tastes makes Forbidden Fruit a favorite among cannabis connoisseurs who appreciate a flavorful and aromatic strain.
Forbidden Fruit Strain Effects
In terms of effects, the Forbidden Fruit strain typically delivers a well-balanced mix of effects that cater to both body and mind.
Consumers often report an initial wave of euphoria that lifts the mood and induces a sense of happiness and relaxation. This cerebral high can help melt away stress and promote a more positive mindset.
As the effects deepen, a soothing body high takes over, spreading a warm, calming sensation throughout the limbs. This relaxation often leads to a state of tranquility and contentment, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
Forbidden Fruit’s effects make it a popular choice for those looking to enjoy a peaceful, reflective experience without feeling overly sedated or couch-locked.
This balance of uplifting and calming effects allows users to remain functional while still enjoying the strain’s soothing properties.
