Cherry Pie: Helping Hand in Reducing Stress and Chronic Pain

Every day, it seems like we are introduced to a new cannabis strain. As our knowledge on cannabis is constantly evolving, we are also seeing an evolution in the products. Experts are tweaking strains to create the right mixture of effects or to come up with the perfect flavor to appeal to different kinds of customers. One of the most popular strains today is the tasty and well-balanced Cherry Pie. An indica-leaning hybrid strain, Cherry Pie is a cross between the Granddaddy Purple (a flavorful indica) and the Durban Poison (a potent sativa). The best features of both these strains were excellently combined to create a mind-stimulating high with a fruity flavor. Just as its name suggests, Cherry Pie offers a sweet delicacy for cannabis users. It has a potent high for mental acuity and is regarded as one of the most balanced hybrids. Effects of the Cherry Pie Strain With an average THC content of 16 percent, Cherry Pie is a lighter hybrid strain, as lots of other hybrids try to maximize THC levels. There are no relevant amounts of CBD found in this strain. Its high is described as balanced but mind-expanding, so it can be used on various settings. The user will first detect some pressure in the eyes and sinuses, which will disappear after a few minutes. After a while, core and limb tension will disappear and some stress relief will be felt. The high will continually progress and start to affect user perception. Auditory and visual stimuli, and any thoughts, will be more interesting and intense. Because it has a lower THC level than average, any anxiety and paranoia can manifest. Thus, it is important to exercise caution if you are at a high risk to these conditions. The Cherry Pie also stimulates other cerebral effects, like increased focus, concentration and creativity. Because the user still retains some mental acuity, this strain is excellent for daytime use. Users can better enjoy drawing, reading and exercising with this strain, but other activities like driving are not recommended. Medical cannabis users reported that this strain offers physiological and psychological effects. the Cherry Pie might not invoke a strong sense of euphoria like other hybrids, but it can help manage conditions like PTSD, depression and anxiety. Its ability to give concentration and focus can help people be more present and mindful. Such cerebral effects have proven to be helpful in the management of ADD and ADHD. Because of its bodily effects like physical relaxation, this mental acuity will allow for a greater amount of concentration that can be devoted to many tasks. This will also help the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of the strain to provide tension and pain relief in the head, muscles and joints. Attributes of the Cherry Pie Strain Characterized by dense and hefty flowers, the Cherry Pie strain has colorful buds that are usually green with hints of purple, with orange pistils. Its purple tints is due to the genetics of the Granddaddy Purple, which is its parent strain. The buds are covered in trichomes, giving it an icy appearance. Just like most indicas, it has tightly curled leaves that are threaded through the pistils that hold the bud together. The cured buds of the Cherry Pie are pungent, with rich berry and cherry notes accented with herbal notes. It has a skunky scent inside the buds once they are broken and ground up. Its taste is no different, with its distinctive sweet cherry flavor with some sourness. When combusted, it gives a smooth smoke of toasty muffin and tangy fruit. It is recommended that this strain be vaporized for a more flavorful experience.
