Blue Dream has soared in popularity in the cannabis community, becoming a staple choice for both the seasoned connoisseur and the newbie. Originating from Northern California, this strain promises a harmonious blend of Sativa and Indica effects that captivate its users. Let's dive deep into the world of Blue Dream and uncover its charm.

Origins and Genetics


Like most of today’s preferred strains, Blue Dream boasts its roots from the sunny state of California. Specifically, its history traces back to the early 2000s in Santa Cruz. While the exact breeder remains a mystery, associations with strains like Santa Cruz Haze and DJ Shorts Blueberry have been noted. The delightful fusion of Blueberry Indica and Super Silver Haze has bestowed upon it a distinct sweet berry aroma and taste, making it an instant favorite.

Effects and Experience

Once you partake in Blue Dream, expect an invigorating high that elevates your mood and potentially boosts your creativity. Its balanced effects, courtesy of its Sativa and Indica genetics, offer a full-bodied experience. Notably, users report feelings of:

  • Euphoria
  • Motivation
  • Increased creativity
  • Relaxation
  • Pain relief
  • Stress alleviation

Novice users, however, should tread lightly. The strain may induce a sleepy state, which could lead to the infamous couch-lock.

Flavor Profile

One of Blue Dream's standout features is its flavor. Users are greeted with a sweet berry taste, complemented by subtle hints of blueberry and citrus. Additionally, a mild hashy flavor might be noticeable. 

As for its aroma, expect a delightful fruity scent with undertones of hash and diesel. Visually, its dark green appearance adorned with blue hairs distinguishes it from strains like Azure Haze or Santa Cruz Haze.

THC and CBD Levels

Blue Dream Strain ReviewBlue Dream Strain Review

Blue Dream's THC levels generally peak at 21%, classifying it as a moderate to high THC strain. However, some variants might contain THC levels as high as 24%. Given its potency, new users and those sensitive to THC should start with minimal doses. Its CBD content, hovering around 2%, makes it a potential candidate for chronic pain relief.

Cultivating Blue Dream 

For those with a green thumb, the good news is that Blue Dream is relatively low maintenance. It thrives in a temperate Mediterranean-like climate, making indoor cultivation ideal. Growers should be vigilant and opt to top the plant early, lest they end up with a 15-foot-tall cannabis tree. 

For optimum flavor and aroma, a two-week flush during the final flowering stage is recommended. Flowering typically spans between 9 and 12 weeks. When nurtured correctly, Blue Dream rewards growers with a generous yield, averaging twenty-one ounces per plant. However, growers should be wary of potential spider mite infestations.

Consuming Blue Dream Strain

It has also found favor among medical marijuana users seeking relief from pain, anxiety, depression, and muscle spasms. Moreover, it often serves as a remedy for insomnia. The effects are long-lasting, often taking several hours to subside.

For those keen on experiencing Blue Dream firsthand, various online retailers and dispensaries across the United States stock this strain. While prices may vary, it's essential to ensure you're purchasing quality seeds.

In conclusion, Blue Dream's allure lies in its balanced effects, tantalizing flavor, and therapeutic benefits. Whether you're a seasoned cannabis enthusiast or a newcomer, this strain promises a unique and memorable experience.

Different Strains of Weed: How Many Are There?

Sour Diesel. Purple Kush. Amnesia Haze. If you’re a fan of cannabis, you’ve probably noticed that there are many different types to choose from, and most of them have funny names. And yes—they are all different. But, what makes them different, exactly? And how many marijuana strains are there, really? Well, let’s find out. 

What Are Cannabis Strains?

In popular culture, different cannabis cultivars are referred to as “strains.” Each individual strain is a cannabis variety that has been bred for its specific characteristics by a cannabis breeder. So, Granddaddy Purple is a strain. Harlequin is another strain. The former is a sleepy strain that produces a high percentage of the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The latter is a mellow flower that produces both THC and cannabidiol (CBD). The plants both have different lineages and different characteristics. Hence, they are different strains. 

But, the word “strain” comes with a fair share of controversy. From a scientific perspective, referring to cannabis varieties as “strains” makes very little sense. And yet, “strain” is the word that remains in popular culture. The difference is mainly semantic—in the world of botany, different plant varieties are called cultivars, not strains. The word “strains” is usually reserved for bacteria and viruses, not plants.

The Accidental Phenomenon That Became Strain of the Year

Here's something most people don't realize about Super Boof: the name that eventually won Leafly's 2024 Strain of the Year wasn't even the breeder's original choice.

San Diego cultivator Blockhead created this Black Cherry Punch and Tropicana Cookies cross as "Blockberry" - a straightforward nod to his breeding handle and the cherry genetics. But as cuts circulated through California's cannabis community, "Super Boof" caught on instead. The internet loves what the internet loves, and sometimes a less refined name just sticks.
