- American Dream ($360/oz.)
STRAIN OVERVIEW
If you can’t get a piece of the American Dream, you might as well smoke it. And now you can with American Dream cannabis, a 60/40 indica-dominant hybrid that offers up the perfect balance of buzz, flavor, and fragrance. Blending Skunk #1 with several Jamaican and Hawaiian sativas, famed cannabis breeders Sensi Seeds were able to create a unique cannabis strain that offers up a pungent, earthy skunk flavor and smell to go along with hints of fruity island notes. And staying true to its tropical roots, American Dream consistently grows some of the prettiest bright-colored pines and trichomes around.
So why “American Dream”? Well, as it turns out, the name stems from a comment made by one of the plant’s creators with regards to breeders who work with a specific strain for long periods of time. These breeders are constantly trying to improve upon the original strain to ensure each new “generation” is better and brighter than the one before—essentially what living the American dream is all about.
THE HIGH
As mentioned above, American Dream is one of those strains that truly has a great balance of everything, including both indica and sativa characteristics. While it definitely offers up a solid body high, it’s not that heavy body feeling you typically get with a pure indica and/or indica-dominant strain. And the same can be said for its cerebral effects. Here too, you’ll notice bits of that sativa feeling, albeit more of a gentle, relaxing mind-numb rather than that super, stoned-out-of-your-mind effect that many sativas are known for.
In the end, this terrific balance of both indica and sativa traits make American Dream a perfect smoke for any laid-back, sit-down situation where a bit of active participation and/or human interaction might be called for.
MEDICAL BENEFITS
American Dream is a great strain for daily pain management. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or dealing with something more recurring like arthritis, American Dream will be able to provide solid pain relief without knocking you out, giving you the ability to both mentally and physically function throughout your daily routine. American Dream is also recommended for anyone having difficulty falling asleep at night, as it’s near-perfect strain balance will help you relax without making you endlessly chase sheep (or whatever else is on your mind) throughout the night.
