3. A Fruitful High: What Your Favorite Weed Strain Is Trying to Tell You
What if you could decode your weed before even lighting up—just by reading the fruit in its name? In this episode of The High Guide, April Pride leads a cannabis tasting tour through fruity cultivars that don’t just sound good—they feel good. From the anti-paranoia powers of Strawberry to the tingly calm of Blueberry, each fruit-forward strain reveals clues about its chemistry, effects, and ideal use. With experts like Jewel Zimmer, Mario Guzman, and Lo Friesen joining the conversation, this rich breakdown helps you shop smarter and smoke more intentionally. Plus, April shares her personal picks for bliss, conversation, and relief—no guesswork required.
🔵 Key Takeaways
-Fruit-named strains often hint at dominant terpenes—like limonene or myrcene—and can predict both taste and effect.
-Strawberry cultivars are known for their paranoia-free highs and social ease.
-Myrcene-dominant strains like Blueberry and Cherry Pie deliver calming, body-centered effects perfect for pain or stress relief.
-Citrus strains offer energetic highs—but beware if you’re caffeine-sensitive, especially with limonene-heavy varieties.
-Blackberry Kush and similar “purple” strains can help with cramps, sleep, and hormone-triggered anxiety.
