There is a time of year that every Michigander looks forward to, and itโs finally here. The snow has melted, the sun is rising earlier and setting later, and people are spending more time outside as the temperature rises and new growth emerges.
Lighting up a joint outside after a rain shower in the springtime hits differently than any other smoke sesh setting. Itโs petrichor youโre smellingโthe organic earthwormy smell that occurs after it rains. Petrichor unites with the diverse aromas of cannabis and the scents merge to foster a nostalgic springtime smell thatโs recognized by stoners.
The Pharmhouse staff has selected some cannabis strains for spring to spark up and try for yourself!
Staff’s Suggestions: Cannabis Strains for Spring
Casey, Founder of Pharmhouse Wellness
Strain: Florida Oranges cultivated by H.O.G.
โIโm impressed with Florida Oranges. It provides a nice, mellow high without being overwhelming. Itโs a tasty hybrid that combines Orange Daiquiri and Triangle Kush BX1, which gives a fruity, floral smell, and taste. In addition, it has the perfect ratio of THC and CBD for daytime use.โ

Strain: Kush Mints cultivated by Michigander Fire
โKush Mint is an evenly balanced hybrid strain. It is a beautiful cross between the classic Bubba Kush X Animal Mints strains. High in limonene, Kush Mintโs flavor is a fabulous sharp and minty taste with hints of fresh coffee and earthy cookies. I enjoy this strain during some spring cleaning, BUT if you toke up too much of this bud, you can get pretty sleepy and the likelihood of any cleaning getting done is slim. It starts with a warming tingle in the spine, filling you with a sense of deep permeating relaxation that ebbs and flows outwards through your limbs until you are calm in both your mind and body. Maybe even spirit.โ

Strain: Peanut Butter Breath cultivated by LightSky Farms
โI love the smell of spring and watching nature start to โwake upโ again. The aroma of Peanut Butter Breath reminds me of all the smells I get while hiking through the woods; earthy, woodsy, and nutty. This strain has a high percentage of limonene, which elevates your mood. I love to find strains heavy on limonene for camping trips to Nordhouse Dunes and biking around the city. It helps me stay in the present moment, which is the only place I wanna be!โ

Strain: Unicorn Breath cultivated by Blooming Botanicals
โThe high starts almost as soon as you exhale, launching with an energizing effect through your mind. Youโll be filled with sociability and happiness with a a boost in creativity that gets your artistic juices flowing. A relaxing body high accompanies this happy boost, keeping you anchored without reducing your energy level. The aroma is gassy with a hint of cheese and berries. The Unicorn Breath strain tastes the same as it smells, very smooth. Youโll love the full nug structure with purple and olive-green tones, covered with kief and trichomes. This flower lives up to its name.โ

Strain: Apex cultivated by Real Leaf Solutions
โApex is a relaxing strain with noticeable notes of pineapple and mango from the high percentage of humulene and myrcene in its terpene profile. It also has nice, layered pine, lavender, and wood notesโreminiscent of a beautiful spring day in Michigan. With a good mix of body and head high, Apex is perfect for communing with nature and having deep conversations with those you love while relaxing in the backyard.โ

Strain: Strawberry Milk cultivated by Goldkine
โOh, what a delight this strain is. This spring, I’ll be enjoying plenty of this. The initial smoke starts with a smooth full-bodied taste and the creaminess of the flower mellows your mind, while the fruit berry scent energizes your spirit. The high affects the entire body, yet keeping your focus and attention intact. This strain keeps you on the road to success with your best foot forward, uplifted and excited for what lies ahead. As an artist, I could draw all night as I drift away into the universe with this strain. Nesquik wishes they could sell this stuff.โ
Jackie, Retail Manager
Strain: Garlic Grove cultivated by Jade
โGarlic Grove leaves you feeling happy, relaxed, and elated, which is exactly how I feel when temperatures rise above 50 degrees in Michigan! Garlic Grove is a cross between Legend Orange Apricot and GMO. It has a nice flavor profile of citrus-orange notes with savory garlic and herbs and a diesel funk. Itโs the perfect uplifting hybrid to kick off your spring!”
