Smarties is a hybrid strain that is a cross between the strains Blue City Diesel and Girl Scout Cookies. It has a balanced combination of indica and sativa genetics, with a slightly higher percentage of indica. It is known for its potent effects and high THC content, which can range from 18% to 24%.
Most cannabis strains are considered a pure or hybrid genetic variation of the plant Genus Cannabis. There are three main species: Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica, and Cannabis Ruderalis.
Ruderalis is not as popularly known as the others; however, it is a derivative of cannabis with the lowest THC levels.
Although they are popular among the cannabis community, hybrids are not considered a species as they are made of Sativa and Indica, with typically one or the other dominating the gene pool.
For marketing and medical marijuana purposes, cultivators will develop a cannabis strain to highlight specific desired characteristics, such as:
Color
Density
Flavor profile
Aroma
Medicinal benefits
Psychoactive effects
Cannabinoid percentages
THC vs. CBD content
Those within the cannabis community report nearly eight hundred unique weed strains worldwide, but that number has increased steadily.
It's important to remember that they all originated from landrace strains imported at some point in history.
Different strains are created yearly as botanists experiment with crossing classic marijuana strains with hybrids to change their genetic qualities.
Smarties is a hybrid strain developed through a collaboration between Connected Cannabis Co. and Cookies Fam, by crossing GSC and Blue City Diesel. It has a delicious terpene profile that is sweet, fruity, and tart, much like the candy. Smarties is a great strain for any time of day, providing a euphoric effect without causing too much cerebral high.
The flavor profile is similar, with a sweet, fruity taste that is reminiscent of the candy it is named after.
The aroma of Smarties is sweet and fruity, with notes of berry and citrus.
Smarties buds are dense and round with a bright green color and an abundance of orange hairs. The buds are covered in a thick layer of trichomes, which give it a frosty, glittery appearance.
The Smarties strain offers health benefits for certain conditions like:
Anxiety
Nausea
Muscle Spasms
Insomnia
Chronic Pain
Depression
dry mouth
dry eyes
anxiety
paranoia or hyper-awareness
fatigue
The THC levels of Smarties marijuana have an average of 18 percent, with the highest test reaching around 24 percent.
Smarties can be grown either indoors or outdoors. This hybrid strain grows 30 to 60 cm tall, with yields of about one to two ounces per plant of dark green nugs with rich, fruity berries flavors.
Smarties Strain's flowering time has an average of eight to nine weeks indoors to reach the prime age and will be ready for harvest outdoors around mid-October.
Sativa cannabis seeds do well in warmer regions of the Earth and can thrive with high humidity levels. The typical locations where Sativa strains are grown are Central America, South America, and Southeast Asia. Sativa is tall and slender with thin, light green leaves.
Many people report that smoking Sativa makes them feel energized, creative and focused. These psychological effects make Sativa strains best for daytime use because using them at night may cause insomnia due to the higher THC levels.
Easing depression symptoms
Headache and Pain relief
Decreasing Nausea
Fighting appetite loss
Better Focus
Head High over Body High
Cannabis Indica is commonly found growing in the dryer climates of the Middle East. They are short and bushy with large, dark green leaves. The buds tend to be much denser in Indica versus Sativa. Many popular Indica strains have higher CBD content than Sativa.
Most Indica weed contains an almost even amount of CBD and THC levels. Since Pure Indica strains tend to be relaxing, they're best for nighttime use due to the intense body high.
Relieving intense body and muscle pain
Reducing nausea and increasing appetite
Easing insomnia and promoting healthy sleep
Reducing anxiety symptoms
Relaxed
Talkative
Creative
You can typically find it for about twenty dollars per gram, depending on location and quality.

Smarties is a delicious indica-dominant hybrid strain created by crossing Blue City, Diesel, and Girl Scout Cookies. It has a sweet and sugary candy flavor with hints of fruity berries and mint and a light earthy aroma. Its effects are relaxing and calming, inducing a deep sense of relaxation that can lead to a slightly couch-locked state without being too sedative like some other strains. With an average THC level of 24-27%, it is commonly used to treat chronic stress or anxiety, depression, mood swings, and chronic fatigue.
Cannabis strains are generally classified into three main types, each with distinct characteristics and effects:
Cannabis plants contain a variety of chemical compounds called cannabinoids and terpenes that contribute to the strain's effects, flavors, and aromas:
Selecting the right cannabis strain depends on individual preferences and desired effects. Consider the following factors when choosing a strain:
Cannabis affects everyone differently, so it's important to consume responsibly and start with a low dose, gradually increasing as needed to find your ideal experience. Be mindful of the method of consumption (e.g., smoking, vaping, edibles) as it can impact the onset and duration of effects.
Familiarize yourself with local cannabis laws and regulations regarding marijuana use, possession, and purchase. Laws vary by location, and it's important to ensure compliance.
