In Oregon, when spring has officially arrived and the cherry blossoms begin to bloom, the season’s newest cannabis products also begin arriving on dispensary shelves just in time to be enjoyed while gazing at a double rainbow.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a mellow flower puffer, more of a sativa party type, or a cannathusiast who indulges in all kinds of products, there are several fresh cultivars that should be of interest to everyone this year. Here are some of the strains we’re looking forward to auditioning, double rainbow or nah.

That could make it an effective appetite suppressant, or at least offer a departure from strains that trigger epic munchies, which feels appropriate after a long winter of bingeing more than just Netflix. The balanced genetics of this cultivar reportedly make for a super-responsive daytime smoke that’s neither too cerebral nor too stoney for prime time. Medicinal tokers may find relief from depression and anxiety, as well as acute and chronic pain.

La Bomba was created by crossing Wedding Cake and Jet Fuel Gelato, and the resulting flowers bloom in tight, ultra-frosty clusters peppered with fine red filaments.

Consumers seeking strains for therapeutic use may want to skip this cultivar until more data rolls in on its specific medicinal applications.
