Sour Diesel has earned a reputation as one of the most potent sativa-dominant hybrid strains on the market with a lineage that is purported to link back to Chemdawg 91 and Super Skunk. Cropping up somewhere around the early 90’s, Sour Diesel earned its name from its signature note of gasoline, accompanied by delicious juicy, earthy flavors. This strain is known for delivering an energizing, heady, euphoric high. But, make no mistake, even with the uplifting cerebral effects of this strain, its potency can leave even the most seasoned tokers buzzing in a creative, thought-provoking “couch-lock-light”.

What is Sour Diesel’s High Like?
This strain is an energizing one that imparts creative mojo, and is perfect for socializing and group sessions.
