Some strains disappear before you’re supposed to record the episode.

Root Beer GMO was one of those strains. 😆

Jesse brought home a bag for the show, and somewhere between “I’ll save some for the episode” and “Where did it all go?” there was basically nothing left except the nug we managed to hang onto for recording. That’s usually a pretty good sign.  

In this episode, we break down one of our favorite GMO crosses we’ve had in Utah and talk about why Root Beer GMO quickly became a repeat purchase.

• Why Root Beer GMO disappeared faster than expected
• The genetics behind this unique cross
• How GMO continues to be one of our favorite flavor foundations
• The surprisingly noticeable root beer notes hidden in the profile
• Why this strain shines in social settings
• Chatty strains versus distracting strains
• The terpene profile driving the experience
• How different consumption methods affect the overall experience
• Why some strains become automatic re-buys
• Utah flower quality and what Dragonfly continues to do well  

Strain: Root Beer GMO

Genetics: Root Beer × GMO

Grower: Dragonfly Wellness (Betty)

Dominant Terpenes:

• β-Caryophyllene
• Humulene
• Limonene  

This isn’t one of those strains that punches you in the face with root beer from the first hit.

The root beer notes show up more on the finish.

The initial inhale brings the familiar funky, savory GMO character, but the longer you sit with it, the more those subtle root beer notes start creeping in through the aftertaste. It’s one of those strains where you keep going back for another hit because you’re trying to figure out exactly what you’re tasting.  

The word that kept coming up throughout this episode was chatty.

Not distracted.

Not scattered.

Not bouncing off the walls.

Chatty.

Root Beer GMO felt like one of those strains that naturally keeps conversations flowing. Every topic led to another topic, then another story, then another rabbit hole. Before long, the episode turned into exactly the kind of conversation this strain seems built for.  

It’s social, uplifting, and happy without feeling overly energetic.

That said, if you keep pushing it, the haze starts creeping in. The more we consumed, the more that classic “where was I going with this?” cloud started showing up.  

Not every great strain needs to knock you into the couch.

Sometimes the best cannabis experiences are the ones that keep the conversation going, make you laugh a little harder, and leave you wondering where the last two hours went.

That’s Root Beer GMO.

This is one of those strains we’d happily keep around for game nights, hanging out with friends, creative conversations, and those evenings where the goal isn’t necessarily getting blasted.

Keep the Mic on.

Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.

We keep a running list of tools and brands we personally enjoy and actually use.
