Featured MMJ Strain: Blue Dream
Blue Dream, one of the classic “west coast strains” to become a legendary hybrid strain from California, has gained notoriety through the United States medical cannabis community due to its evenly balanced hybrid effects. Blue Dream is notorious for making users feel happy, euphoric, relaxed, uplifted, and creative. Medicinally, patients report that Blue Dream is perfect for relieving stress, depression, pain, insomnia, or headaches.
Blue Dream is a cross between two well-known and potent strains: Blueberry and Haze. Both of these strains sit opposite to each other on the spectrum of cannabis effects, with blueberry being a heavy Indica and haze being an invigorating Sativa. This cross brings not only the effects of the two strains together, but also the flavors of the two, leading to more medicinal effects from the synergistic effects of aromatic terpenes on the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the brain.
Blue Dream is a very sweet strain. Patients have reported that in most batches, Blue Dream has a sugary sweet overtone with undertones of blueberry, ripe fruit, and a slight haze flavor from the sativa parent. Analyzed by Steep Hill Talent, Blue Dream tends to be heavy in beta-myrcene, along with alpha-pinene and delta-limonene. These terpenes account for the flavors and scent of Blue Dream, along with some of its aroma-therapeutic and medicinal effects. Although not incredibly tough to grow, Blue Dream is a strain which will return a potent medicinal resin when meticulously cultivated by a master grower, rather than done at home in a legal patient garden.
Included below are three reviews of Blue Dream which MMJ patients posted on Leafly, a marijuana strain network for medical marijuana patients.
“The “Bayer” aspirin of bud that should be in every medicine cabinet. Smoking is slightly blueberry and harsher then expected. Vaporized it’s smooth and has a perk up and get er done benefit. Nice well rounded, daytime medication that is not sedating.” -free_byrd
“I consider this strain perfect for my psychological problems. almost every other weed with this high sativa content seems to cause extreme paranoia but nothing at all like. i felt completely free and loving and more compasionate about myself than i ever have. i have always had an extremely low self esteem and even though i knew that during the experience my depression was lifted enough for me to easily cope with it… it eased my depression which had readched a level were i was on suicide watch for 3 years. this strain made my happier and have a more controlled perspective on life while enjoying myself than any other strain ever. deffinately by far my favorite” -wiseoldman
“Blue dream is definitely a strain that will quickly make it to your favorites list! With that being said, this strain can be used during both day and night. I noticed that if you smoke a little bit, you’ll get more sativa effects and If you smoke a good bit, the indica effects take over. This strain is great for pain, stress/anxiety, appetite issues, sleep issues and much more! No matter how much you smoke, you’ll feel great and euphoric! I always have to pick this up when I find some! Great strain 4/5! :)” -Tsnky53
