Strain of the Week: Hippie Crippler

[dropcap class=”kp-dropcap”]I[/dropcap]t’s safe to say that during the evolution of cannabis strains, certain inappropriate or unappetizing names have surfaced. Among names such as Wet Dream or Agent Orange, not all strain names are created equally. This includes the ever famous Hippie Crippler (HC). While CULTURE doesn’t support anyone getting hurt while consuming cannabis, our reviewers can attest to the strength of this unique bud.

Despite what its name suggests (in a figurative manner), HC is of the sativa-dominant variety. The number of hippies who tried and been affected by it is unknown, however it does gain quite a reputation from its parents, AK-47 and Blue Satellite. AK-47 is often known as a quick-acting sativa with genetics that date back to Colombian, Mexican, Thai and Afghani roots. Whereas the other parent, Blue Satellite, also has potent sativa effects as well. Together they form HC—a heavy hitter delivers strong feelings of light happiness and energy. In the words of reviewers, “Hippie Crippler doesn’t really cripple hippies! Not us anyways. But it does satisfy our sativa needs in every way!”

The bud has a very unique appearance as well, offering a beautiful exterior of crystals upon crystals upon crystals. It’s literally just a dense nug that’s covered in snow-like frost (although a few green and orange hairs do poke out intermittently, almost as if spring has sprung on the surface of HC). But once you begin to break it up, the magic begins. It actually breaks up more similarly to bubble hash or kief, rather than straight flower. And once the surface has been uncovered, a pleasant sweet and citrus flavors begins to emerge. Upon tasting, consumers will find this to be a mild and pleasant little strain.

Due to its energizing effects, this strain would be extremely useful for those who suffer from depression or constant stress—it’s all you need to get a moment of peace!
