The Top 10 Most Popular Cannabis Strains in Louisiana

Louisiana has had quite a complicated relationship with cannabis for years, having been quite opposed to legalizing recreational weed, and even flirting with the idea of banning psychoactive hemp-derived cannabinoids.  Fortunately, the hemp market is alive and well in the Bayou State, so false alarm.  And, thanks to the innovations of the hemp industry, we have seen cannabinoid-infused vapes, flower, and dabs really take off throughout the state, in all kinds of tempting strains.

So, which strains are Louisianians gravitating toward the most?  Let’s take a look at the best performers of the year, so you can get some fresh inspo the next time you’re ready to switch things up in Sportsman’s Paradise.

Top 10 Strains That Louisianians Love

Let’s look at 10 strains that continue to perform really well in the state, based on consumer data and what we’ve heard from people who actually live in Louisiana. 

#10: Blueberry OG

Blueberry OG is a strain that has been on the market for ages, and a lot of that has to do with the fact that it’s the perfect strain for anyone seeking out powerful indica effects, particularly in the latter half of the day.  It’s an 80% indica-dominant hybrid that has a juicy blueberry taste, and it’s a popular choice among breeders.  Blueberry OG is known for its very euphoric ‘high’, and its hazy “stoned” vibes that are very cerebral.  Also is great nighttime strain due to its ability to shut your brain off and help you find a sense of quiet in your mind.

#9: Platinum Cookies

Platinum Cookies is really rising through the ranks right now, and it’s a 50/50 hybrid with very balanced effects.  Its addictive taste is super cookie-like, which makes sense when you consider the fact that it’s a close relative to all-time fave Girl Scout Cookies.  Platinum Cookies has a very strong THC content, so expect a powerful high, while enjoying an initial blastoff into euphoric bliss, followed by a warm and tingly body high that gets heavier and heavier to the limbs as time goes on, lulling you into a state of unmovable peace.

#8: Apple Fritter

Another fantastic 50/50 hybrid is Apple Fritter, as this also happens to be related (common genetics-wise) to Platinum Cookies. Fairly new, it’s quite a potent strain with a glorious flavor profile of apples and rich pastry.  Apple Fritter delivers a nearly instantaneous, euphoric rush to the head, which gets rid of any negativity that may be hiding in the corners of your mind.  Simultaneously, it can alleviate tension in the body, helping you feel extremely at ease.  Great for balancing out your mood, we’re not surprised to see this one so close to the top of the list.

#7: Berry White

A 65/35 indica-dominant hybrid, Berry White is an easy reach because it has a very balanced high that’s never too energizing nor too sedating.  It offers a warming sensation throughout the body that’s ultra appealing, along with an uplifted and worry-free state of mind that honestly, we could all use a little more of.  Its droolworthy taste is just the icing on the cake, no pun intended, as cake-like undertones complement the rich berries.

#6: Runtz

Runtz is so popular that you can find it in just about any dispensary across the USA.  In Louisiana, it’s an in-demand choice, both medicinally and recreationally.  Just know that Runtz is very much indica-leaning in its effects, despite being 50/50 sativa/indica, and it’s easy to fall asleep about an hour into the experience.  Its psychoactive effects are also recognized for being some of the longest-lasting anywhere.  No wonder so many people choose this one as part of their nighttime routine.

 #5: Slurricane

Slurricane is a 60/40 indica-dominant hybrid that comes from legends Do-Si-Dos and Purple Punch, with a high THC level great for anyone looking to get super high.  It’s a high that will leave you in a dazed state, wiping out any mental focus or awareness, while your body feels glued to the couch.  Fresh berries and herbs supply a nice taste component as well, and overall, it’s a great nighttime strain, since it can make you pretty much unable to do anything.

#4: Zkittlez

Zkittlez is a very recognizable name, and its popularity has yet to falter as new strains hit the scene.  A 70/30 indica-dominant hybrid, Zkittlez tastes just like its namesake, and its satisfyingly soothing high keeps you coming back for more.  Zkittlez a sleepy strain, so it’s best reserved for nighttime, and people love how much it soothes away stress and worry while igniting a sense of bliss throughout the muscles.

Girl Scout Cookies (aka Cookies or GSC) just has that “it” factor that keeps its popularity enduring.  Between its dreamy cookie flavor and potent THC level, this strain has it all, and it’s an indica-leaning hybrid that offers big waves of euphoric bliss paired with utter calm, and a body high that will almost definitely bring you into couchlock so that you can sit back and really relax for a while.
