Lauded for its alluring fruity aroma and flavor, Blueberry is an indica-dominant hybrid well known in the cannabis community for its relaxing nature and pain-relieving properties.
A nice change of pace from skunky or dank-smelling marijuana strains, Blueberry is best known for its fruity, berry-like aroma—and yes, it really does smell like blueberries. With small- to medium-shaped buds that often have purple or blue hues when grown in colder environments, it’s easy to see why Blueberry has tons of shelf appeal and is overall, a long-standing favorite in the cannabis world.
Blueberry’s roots can be traced back to the 1970s when cannabis breeder DJ Short crossed what was probably, Afghani, Thai and Purple Thai landrace strains to create the popular, award-winning marijuana strain that we know today. Blueberry has also spawned some of the most prominent modern-day cannabis strains, including universal favorite Blue Dream. While technically a hybrid, Blueberry takes after its Afghani heritage, displaying mostly indica characteristics.
Blueberry is best used in the evening when users are looking to wind down; it’s also appropriate for a mellow hangout amongst friends and family. Users can expect deep body relaxation and a gentle cerebral uplift from this cannabis strain. Blueberry has also been known to trigger a strong case of the munchies, so prepare accordingly.
With powerful appetite-stimulating effects and its ability to simultaneously quell nausea and ease pain, Blueberry is a popular choice among cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Its sedating nature can also help medical marijuana patients with insomnia.
