Lilac Diesel Strain Effects

Energetic

Focused

Creative Lilac Diesel Strain

Cannabinoids

The naturally occurring chemical compounds that found in cannabis that provide consumers with a wide range of effects are known as cannabinoids. THC and CBD are along the most commonly known cannabinoids.

Our most recent batch of the Lilac Diesel strain tested for the following cannabinoids:

THCA | 22.3% Lilac Diesel Strain

D9-THC | 0.79% Lilac Diesel Strain

Terpenes — Lilac Diesel Strain

Terpenes are the naturally occurring compounds responsible for the smell of most plants, fruits, herbs, etc., including cannabis.

However, unlike cannabinoids, terpenes do not directly contribute to making you feel “high.” They are oftentimes are still considered to be “psychoactive”though, since they can still affect your brain in a similar way to aromatherapy.

Our most recent harvest of Lilac Diesel tested for the following cannabinoids:

Beta Caryophyllene Lilac Diesel Strain

Aromas: Sharp, Spice, Sweet, Wood

Beta-caryophyllene is known for its wide variety of potential physical and mental health benefits. CB2 receptors are targeted when treating pain & inflammation with cannabis, and this terpene has a unique ability to bind to them. It is FDA-approved for use in food & is found in black pepper, cinnamon and basil.

Terpinolene

Aromas: Citrus, Lemon, Pine, Wood

Terpinolene is known for its antioxidant, antiseptic, anti fungal and antibiotic properties. Users report feeling an uplifting and energizing effect from consuming cannabis high in this terpene. When combined with Linalool, it exhibits more sedative effects.

Alpha Humulene

Aromas: Herbal, Spice, Woody, Earthy

Commonly found in ginseng, ginger and hops, Humulene has been used in natural health practices for hundreds of years due to its strong anti-inflammatory properties. It has also been reported to act as an appetite suppressant.

You can carry on a conversation and get chores and errands done efficiently while feeling happy and creative, it reduces pain as well. What more could you want?

Awesome. Creativity flowed. While we didn't solve for world peace, we figured out a $40 solution to a $500 problem.... we think.

Magnificent sativa. Heady, but not intoxicating. Great chill type of sativa good for grilling, chilling, socializing, board games, enjoying nature, you know, chill kinds of things. I wouldn't call it energizing as much as it is stimulating. What I mean is I don't think this would be good for very physical activities, but for more mental type of things, I'd highly recommend. It gets your brain going and gives good focus. Great for first timers.

More sativa dominant than indica dominant strain makes it perfect for morning, afternoon, or evening use. Tasted very floral, but still skunky with that diesel flavor. Gave a very cerebral high but still relaxed me which washed away any anxiety that I had. I absolutely loved this strain!
S.....kLeafly User

“

This strain is like no other to me. It smokes with a floral flavor and scent, is quickly effective and completely enjoyable. Great pain relief for nerve pain and myofascial pain. Calm giggles. Fun memories. ... also the best s*x I’ve ever had. 10/10.
L.....uLeafly User

“

In 17 years I have never smoked a better tasting strain. This is what medicine should feel like. For me, this is the first time I have had a single strain balance my physical and mental life so perfectly. This is for sure a Sativa dominate flower but with a relaxation and body high that makes you want more. Have you ever smoked specifically because you craved the taste? Like almost hungry for the taste? Yea, me neither until Lilac Diesel. I have finally found my medicine!

5 Best Sativa Strains

5 Best Sativa Strains

Looking for a head-rush high that will leave you feeling energized, focused and productive? We recommend going for a sativa. They’re great for helping you tackle physical activities, whether it’s a long and leisurely hike or a cleaning spree. Here are our picks for the 5 best sativa strains on the market right now:

Located off of 495 in Lowell, MA, Smyth Cannabis Co. is the most popular dispensary for sativas near me in Andover, Ayer, Billerica, Burlington, Chelmsford, Nashua, Dracut, Groton, Haverhill, Lawrence, Littleton, Lowell, North Andover, North Reading, Reading, Stoneham, Tewksbury, Tyngsborough, Wakefield, Westford, Wilmington, Woburn and the surrounding towns.

What is a Sativa?

Sativas are known for their uplifting and energizing effects. They are associated with more of a “head high” than indica strains.

But the difference between an indica and a sativa is actually the makeup of the plant itself. From 1753 to 1785, all cannabis plants were categorized as “Cannabis sativa L.,” with “Cannabis” as the genus, “sativa” as the species, and “L.” to indicate its Linnaean taxonomy.

After this time period, French biologist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck separated the plant into two distinct species: “Cannabis sativa,” a taller and more fibrous plant, and “Cannabis indica,” a much shorter and more psychoactive plant.

5. Ghost Train Haze

Ghost Train Haze is a sativa unlike others you’ve tried before. This best sativa strain contender has a sour citrus and floral aroma. The flavor profile is earthy but sweet, and delivers a potent dose of THC that produces an uplifting, energetic, and super happy high in normal doses. It has been known to help with concentration and creativity in smaller doses.

Breeder: Rare Dankness
Cross: Ghost OG x Neville’s Wreck
Tastes Like: Citrus, Earthy, Floral, Bright, Sweet

4. Goji OG

Goji OG is an old school sativa leaning variety. It has a dynamic aroma/flavor profile including a distinct OG profile with notes of sweet berry and straight up garlicky egg rolls. This is the type of strain that will make you enjoy household chores. Not a strain for novices; it’ll give a strong, uplifting high that we think makes it one of the best sativa strains on the market.

Breeder: Bodhi Seeds
Cross: Nepali OG x Snow Lotus
Tastes Like: Berries, Gas, Licorice, Chinese Food, Garlic

3. Durban Poison

This pure sativa first originated from Durban, a port city in South Africa. Durban Poison is the perfect strain to help you stay productive through a busy day because of its energetic and uplifting effects. Its characteristically large resin glands make this one of the best sativa strains for concentrate extraction. Several other well-known strains have been produced from crosses of Durban Poison, including Cherry Pie, Girl Scout Cookies and many more.

Breeder: Ed Rosenthal
Tastes Like: Crisp Pine; Candied Lemons, Anise

2. East Coast Sour Diesel

This high-potency sativa is a cult favorite among consumers. New to the Smyth Cannabis lineup, this gassy green has a pungent aroma and effects that will leave you sky high. It is among the best sativa strains for its ability to quickly uplift your mood.

Breeder: Dr.Greenthumb
Tastes Like: Spicy, Sweet, Lemony, Gassy

1. Lilac Diesel | The Best Sativa Strain

Lilac Diesel is a sativa-leaning hybrid, super flavorful with robust trichome production and a complex terpene profile. You will get notes of citrus, sweet berries, earth, pine, and flowers. In addition, you’ll feel like a wine connoisseur as you dissect and savor the enjoyable flavors. This is our best sativa strain for a friendly and energetic midday adventure.

Breeder: Ethos Collective
Cross: (Super Lemon Haze x Forbidden Fruit) x NYC Cherry Pie x Citral Glue
Tastes Like: Honey, Sweet, Berries, Pine, Floral

While sativas are usually associated with a more uplifting and energetic high, this is not always the case. In short, each and every cannabis strain has its own unique chemical profile that will interact differently with each person’s body chemistry.

You can better understand a strain’s effects by looking more in depth at the cannabinoids and terpenes its contains. But for beginners, the indica/sativa/hybrid model is a quick and easy way to get a basic idea of how a strain will affect you.
