Wet Dream

Wet Dream is a sativa-dominant strain that confers bracing, euphoric energy. This bud’s provocative name refers to its genetics — it is a cross between ubiquitous hybrid Blue Dream and California-born Ocean Beach Haze. It offers a rich, incense-like smoke alongside buzzy, tuned-in mental effects. Wet Dream’s THC content has been measured at between 12% and 22%.

Wet Dream is marked by small to medium-sized flowers that cling together in dense, pebbly clusters. The tight buds seem to have an indica-typical structure, with small leaves that curl tightly inward toward their central stems. The leaves themselves are a pale sage green and are wound through with bright orange pistils. Crystalline white trichomes coat the inner and outer surfaces of these dense flowers, making them very sticky and accounting for their high psychoactivity.

The primary aroma wafting up from cured buds of Wet Dream is that of damp earth. This dank scent is undercut by some sharp, piney scents. Grinding up the buds, meanwhile, reveals a slightly spicy character, possibly passed on from Haze. When burnt, Wet Dream gives off a harsh, acrid smoke that may sting the eyes and palate. On the exhale, this smoke tastes woody and peppery. Smokers should also note that Wet Dream can be particularly pungent and may not be the best choice if they’re in a situation where they need to maintain discretion.

Once you consume this bud’s hashy, heavy smoke, it won’t be long before you feel a slight dizziness or rush of blood to the head, along with some possible flushing in the cheeks. As this headrush dissipates, the user’s thoughts tend to take on a more intense, cerebral character, with certain ideas commanding more attention than they otherwise might. The user’s train of thought may also begin to speed in several different directions as new associations spring up between seemingly unrelated concepts. These early feelings of mental stimulation can make Wet Dream a great way to break the ice in buzzy social situations, even among new acquaintances.

They can also enable work on detailed analytical tasks, as well as on creative projects like brainstorming. As time passes or as dosage is increased, the strain’s mental agility begins to give way to a more relaxed feeling. Deep, restorative breathing may happen more easily as tense muscles begin to unwind. Although it still lets smokers maintain a clear head, in these later stages, Wet Dream is more likely to lead you to the couch than outdoors for a jog. The strain may also result in some sensory distortions, with certain sights or sounds taking on a new dimension. Some users also describe an inexplicable feeling of time passing more slowly. Trippy properties like these can pair well with atmospheric media like a spacey album or a visually-engaging movie. Because it gradually tapers down from energy into relaxation, Wet Dream is best consumed between late afternoon and early evening, when it can be fully appreciated.

Wet Dream’s versatility makes it useful for medical cannabis patients as well. Its initially focused mindset can help those with attention deficit disorders to concentrate on single tasks, while its mood-lifting properties can relieve the symptoms of stress and depression. Wet Dream may also dull physical pain, whether it’s chronic and disease-related or more mundane, like a headache. Because its cerebral mindset can veer into paranoia in the wrong set and setting, Wet Dream is not recommended for patients who are prone to panic or who have a low tolerance for THC.

Seeds of Wet Dream are not available for sale online, and home growers will need to foster clippings from existing mature plants of the strain as “clones.” There is little information available on best cultivation practices specific to this strain, but we know that, like many hybrids, it can be grown indoors or out. Plants tend to be taller than average and if grown indoors may require some early pruning to fit in limited grow spaces. Wet Dream typically flowers within 9 to 10 weeks when grown indoors.

Wet Dream is especially fun when shared with giddy, like-minded friends. It’s a great strain to enjoy on an adventure in the great outdoors.
