Tangie

It has high THC levels of 18%-22% and CBD of 0.1% only. It is believed that Tangie is a re-creation of the once famous Tangerine Dream.

As the name suggests, Tangie is a very citrusy strain, however it has some skunky undertones originating from its Skunk relatives. The smoke has a delicious taste that is fruity and piney at the same time.

It has light green buds which are coated with highly resinous trichromes. The trichromes have a whitish appearance and given how thick they are it is hard to break the buds by hand. The orange pistils break the monotony of the green making Tangie a beautiful sight to behold.

Being sativa, expect Tangie to give you an enjoyable head buzz that is unforgettable. This should make you more energized, creative and focused. New patients should perhaps start out with milder strains before they can get used to potent strains such as Tangie. This strain will also trigger the feeling of hunger, so be prepared to handle this in case hunger pangs strike at midnight.

It is a good strain to be enjoyed with friends as well.
