Runtz-02

Runtz Strain

Out in California there is weed that smells and looks so good you could eat it right off the stem. But you should save it for smoking. 

A new strain of cannabis called Runtz, originally bred and grown in Los Angeles, can be difficult to obtain outside of city limits. Reportedly a cross of Zkittlez and Gelato #33, that would make Runtz yet another famed strain that draws vibrant genetics from Berner and the iconic Cookies brand.

The appeal of the cannabis hybrid Runtz can be traced back to its parent strains. Runtz buds show different colors of green, purple, and green that are very similar to cannabis. The color of the Zkittlez and Gelato varieties of Runtz is violet, which indicates that they have a high concentration of anthocyanin terpene content.

The Effects of Runtz Strain

It’s hard to know exactly what kind of effects you’ll experience when purchasing different versions of Runtz weed. According to most customers, one of the benefits of Runtz is it provides an “euphoric high” that stimulates the creative mind. After some time people are calmed and feel a sense of relaxation throughout their body which makes them unable to be too active. The potency of this plant can vary. The intensity ranges from 19% to 29% THC, with the strongest coming in at around 22%. Although bakers often use artificial flavors to infuse the dough with sweetness and fruit-style flavoring, these ingredients have been found to damage tooth enamel.! If you happen to find a strain that is high in potency, even if you are an experienced user of cannabis, the effects could be intense. That’s why it might be a better idea to start slowly. Because the Runtz strain is a blend of indica and sativa, it can be used for a variety of purposes:

  • alleviating anxiety
  • stress relief
  • improving the mood
  • pain relief

Initially, after the first few hits, you may feel a rush of energy. But it’s best to avoid leaving your home and instead stick to activities inside. After a more energetic period, you’ll notice that you’re no longer filled with energy. On the contrary, you will feel relaxation in tense muscles, and getting out of bed won’t be as easy. It is recommended that you bring something tasty from home while you still have energy, or else your choices might become limited later on. If you have trouble falling asleep, smoking some of this strain will make you feel sleepy after a couple hours. After laying down in bed, you have the opportunity to sleep uninterrupted for a long period of time.

THC levels range from 14 to 17% but don’t underestimate this kush. Its main effects are:

  • Happiness that turns into euphoria.
  • Inspiration and creativity, which helps to cope with tasks at work, as well as motivates to create new ideas.
  • Many users noted that this bud made them more social and less self-contained.
  • Smokers say The Runtz is comfort.

Moreover, medicine often uses this marijuana to combat

  • Depression
  • Pains
  • Anxiety
  • Arthritis
  • Stress

However, if you go wrong with the dose, it can cause giggling, panic attacks, and dry mouth.

Runtz Strain Medicinal Uses

  • THC: 14.0 – 17.0%
  • CBD: 0.11 – 0.45%
  • CBC: 0.45 – 1.26%
  • CBG: 0.18 – 1.29%
  • CBN: 0.07 – 0.22%
  • THCV: 0.25 – 1.51%

Runtz is 50 percent Indica and 50 percent Sativa. THC levels can be as high as 29 %. Scientific research is exploring the possibility of using cannabis as a treatment for coronavirus.

Regardless of what strain is always stocked, the Runtz strain may not have high CBD levels. A strain like Cannatonic and Harlequin is high in CBD and may be similar to the type used in an aforementioned study. Other research has found that smoking one joint per day does not lead to any decrease in lung function nor any noticeable increase in risk for lung cancer.

Runtz Strain Flavor, Appearance and Smell

Runtz is a tall plant, reaching from 4 to 6 ft tall. It has a smell like candy. This strain is marked by a sharp, fruity flavor with notes of sweet berries on the exhale and smells like sour-apple. Runtz has a colorful bud that continues to change in color as it matures. The colors you see from top to bottom, green, yellow, orange and brown are the different genetic strands of the plant. The white snow is the THC-rich trichomes which can be seen through a microscope.

While aroma is not uncommon for fruitier strains, Runtz leaves a powerful odor on your clothes that’s rare with other kinds. I often opt for a candy-sweet scent with hints of rubber and Durban Poison at the end, but Runtz is popular enough these days that you might be tempted to choose something else.

It is hard to keep the candy-shop appeal from smell to smoke when growing a Runtz, but if grown properly it will do okay. The earthy notes of wet soil and a touch of pine needle help to balance out the sweetness. The notes also remind me of the rock candy sugar from a science kit.

The Phenotypes of the Runtz Strain

There are two phenotypes of Runts that share many traits. White Runtz and Pink Runtz have some variation between them, though they tend to produce the same effects.

Pink Runtz

As is often the case when examining history, there are many opinions about Pink Runtz’s origins. According to some, Pink Runtz is just a phenotype of the regular Runtz, though other cannabis experts claim that it is a result of mixing Pink Panties with Rainbow Sherbert. Although we cannot be sure what is true, there are no such doubts when it comes to the effects of Pink Runtz. After the initial euphoria and energy, your body becomes progressively heavier until you are too tired to move. This strain of weed is extremely colorful, has a fruity and candy-like aroma, and most users claim that it has even more relaxing properties than the original Runtz. The content of THC is also most likely a bit lower, and you shouldn’t experience any anxiety or paranoia. We recommend using this strain primarily in the evenings.

White Runtz

When it comes to another strain of Runtz called White Runtz, its origins are unclear.It might be another phenotype of Runtz, as it has a comparable amount of THC, though others claim that it is a product of collaboration between Runtz and Cookies. This indica dominant strain usually has purple and green buds. Leaving your home may not be a good idea when you’re first exposed to White Runtz. Currently, it is one of the most popular types of cannabis in California, which is why it is not uncommon to find weed labeled as White Runtz with none of its characteristics.

Also We recommend you to try two others phenotypes of Runts: Creamy Runtz and Blue Runtz.

Runtz Strain Negative Effects

For the seasoned smoker, Runtz side effects are typical of weed, including anything from increased heart rate to dizziness. Your mouth will become dry, and the same will happen to your eyes. At the same time, Runtz strain can have up to 29% THC. If you are unlucky (or lucky, depending on your perspective), the high might be too intense. Floating in outer space is not damaging to your health, but it can be scary for many people. If you want an easier experience, take things one step at a time.

Before you use cannabis to deal with your health problems, you should speak to a doctor about it even in the state where recreational marijuana is legal. There are hundreds of different compounds in weed, which means that if you are already taking some medications for your medical conditions, two or more substances could mix and produce a severe reaction. The internet is an excellent resource for information, but it’s a good idea to contact a medical professional if you are unsure about your health.

If you do not have experience with potent strains, it’s better to take a safer step further away from the strongest cannabis or else risk an overwhelming high.

So which Runtz Strain is for you?

So it all depends on what type of high you are looking for. If you’re looking for something to give you a little more energy, this Pink Runtz has helped me all through the day. But if you are looking to unwind after a long day and just netflix and chill then the Indica dominant White Runtz is for you.
