Top Cannabis Strains of 2020

2020 has been one of the most interesting years of all time, to say the absolute least. This year has seen COVID-19 run rampant across the globe, directly affecting personal as well as economic stability. Fortunately, the cannabis industry has weathered the storm in supreme fashion. Moreover, patients have gravitated towards particular strains of cannabis more than others. Some of these strains have remained popular throughout the entire year. Have you had any of these popular cannabis strains of the worst year ever? 

Vanilla Frosting

First on our list of new strains is Vanilla Frosting. This hybrid cannabis strain has gained a multitude of traction over the course of the last few months. Vanilla Frosting is the product of Humboldt OG and Humboldt Frost. The strain gets its name from its overly abundant amount of trichomes, giving it a sugary and frosted appearance. Upon taste, Vanilla Frosting presents notes of herbs and pine. There are also mild peppery undertones. Vanilla Frosting has an intensely high amount of THC. Cannabis cultivators have also identified this strain of hosting high amounts of CBG, unlike any other strain currently on the market.

Watermelon Zkittlez

Another strain that dominated cannabis buds in 2020 is Watermelon Zkittlez. This unique strain is a hybrid combination between Watermelon and the new favorite Zkittlez. It is mostly renowned for its potency as well as its flavor. The average bud of Watermelon Zkittlez can contain anywhere from 22.5% to an insane 25% THC. This strain also contains a considerable amount of the cannabinoid CBG. Upon inhalation, the consumer is instantly greeted by a citrus and fruity amora with floral undertones. Thanks to the flavor and level of euphoria, this strain will continue to dominate in the new decade.

GMO Cookies (A.K.A. Garlic Cookies)

The next strain that reigned supreme in 2020 was GMO Cookies. Sometimes referred to as 'Garlic Cookies,' this strain is a cross between the legendary strains Chemdog and Girl Scout Cookies. On average, a bud of this strain can contain anywhere from 19% to a hefty 23% of THC. As the name suggests, the aroma associated with GMO Cookies can be intense. Consumers often identify hints of herbs and peppers with a brief appearance of citrus. Similar to Watermelon Zkittlez, the potency and distinct aroma of GMO cookies can keep it relevant in the new decade.

Forbidden Fruit

Next on the list of cannabis strains that dominated 2020 is the mystical Forbidden Fruit. This strain is a cross between the citrusy Tangie and the flavorful Cherry Pie. The lineage also makes this strain a hybrid. Thanks to its genetics, Forbidden Fruit offers an intense citrus flavor and aroma. Upon inhalation, this strain gives off potent notes of citrus with mild notes of fruit and sometimes cherry. During the flowering stage of growth, the Forbidden Fruit buds gain a multitude of terpenes; these terpenes will be retained and give the buds its iconic frosty appearance. If you think you are seeing double, it's probably thanks to the cerebral effects of this great strain of cannabis.

Blue Icee

The next strain that reigned supreme last year is Blue Icee. In fact, this strain has been making a name for itself since the cannabis boom of the mid-2010s. This strain is a combination between the Blue Sherbet and Legend OG. Not much is known about this strain except for its intense cerebral effects. This is likely due to its icy blue appearance courtesy of the terpenes. Expect Blue Icee to gain more traction in the new decade.
