What is the Cherry Pie strain?

Cherry Pie is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its happy effects and berry and cherry flavor profile.

Cherry Pie is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Granddaddy Purple and F1 Durban Poison. First bred in the early 2000s by Ken "PieGuy" Dumetz of Powerzzzup Genetics and Jai "Jigga" Chang, this strain helped lay the foundation for the broader Cookie Fam genetic library and has become a staple strain that gained significant popularity in the mid-2000s and spread across the United States and eventually to other parts of the world. The strain is renowned for its dense buds full of orange hairs and a touch of purple, with an aroma that smells of sweet and sour cherry pie. Cherry Pie typically displays 60-80 percent indica characteristics while maintaining some uplifting sativa qualities from its Durban Poison heritage. The strain has earned numerous accolades and won 3rd place in the Medical Sativa category at the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup.
