Strawberry Milkshake

Although it’s the least desirable milkshake flavor behind chocolate and vanilla, Strawberry Milkshake is one tasty variety of cannabis. This strain inherits its bold flavor from Strawberry Soda and its one-two punch of sativa and indica effects from White Fire Alien OG. What results is a pungent bud with a little something for everyone. Its THC content ranges from 15% to 20%.

Strawberry Milkshake’s flowers are on the smaller side, adhering in tight, pebbly clusters. The structure of these buds leans more sativa than indica, with piecey leaves that twist loosely away from one another, rather than curling densely inward. The leaves themselves are a pale sage green and are offset by several curly orange pistils. Finally, a high volume of dewy, translucent trichomes dot all visible surfaces of Strawberry Milkshake’s buds, making them hard to break up by hand.

When properly cured, these flowers give off a distinctly fruity tang. Specific strawberry notes become more apparent on a second inspection. Grinding up the buds, meanwhile, gives off a sweet and sour funk. When it is combusted, Strawberry Milkshake burns with a smooth and very palatable smoke. This smoke has a delicious sweet berry flavor on the exhale.

Strawberry Milkshake begins to reveal its heady onset soon after consumers have ingested its rich, fruity smoke. At first, a head rush may transpire alongside an uptick in complex, cerebral thinking. Ideas and concepts may seem more significant than they otherwise would, while some thoughts my jump from one to the next in free association. In the right set and setting, smokers may also notice this strain’s tendency to distort the senses, creating phenomena like auditory distortions or a creeping feeling of time dilation. This mental stimulation can be useful for either productivity on detailed, work-related tasks or as a way to pass some giddy, talkative time with like-minded friends.

As time passes — or as dosage is increased — Strawberry Milkshake’s concerted mental properties begin to slip into a more embodied feeling of relaxation. The user may feel their eyelids and limbs weighed down; attempting any kind of physical exertion may make them feel as if they’re wading through peanut butter. As such, Strawberry Milkshake at this stage is more likely to have its consumers plopped down on the couch than taking on a long to-do list. While mental faculties still persist during this body high, they may be somewhat less sharp and take on more of a rambling, daydreaming quality. On its later end, enjoy Strawberry Milkshake as a complement to kicked-back activities like binge-watching or playing cards. In properly relaxed circumstances, beware that this strain is liable to bring about an entrenched feeling of couchlock. Because of its gradual decline in energy levels, Strawberry Milkshake is recommended for consumption between afternoon and evening.

Strawberry Milkshake isn’t just a tasty recreational treat; it can have several uses for medical cannabis patients as well. The intense patterns of thinking associated with its onset can enable focus for those with attention deficit disorders. Its mood-lifting properties, meanwhile, can temporarily improve mild to moderate cases of stress and depression. Strawberry Milkshake may also soothe physical pain, whether it’s temporary, as due to soreness or injury or chronic, as due to conditions like fibromyalgia or arthritis. At the right dosage, this strain my even induce some much-needed sleep for insomniacs. Because of its potential for disorienting mindrace, Strawberry Milkshake is not a good option for patients who are prone to paranoia or panic.

Those looking to grow Strawberry Milkshake at home should obtain clipping from healthy, mature plants of the strain that can be fostered as “clones.” These clones can thrive indoors or outdoors in a semi-humid, Mediterranean-like climate. True to their sativa roots, plants tend to grow tall and branchy and may need to be trimmed back now and then for those growing indoors. Strawberry Milkshake flowers within 9 to 10 weeks.

Strawberry Milkshake’s multifaceted effects make it fun whether you’re toking alone or with friends. If you do break it out in public, be ready for the strain’s uniquely fruity aroma to turn some heads.
