What is the Erez strain?
Erez is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Erez is a proprietary indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by the renowned Israeli medical cannabis company Tikun Olam. Named after Erez Petkovich, Tikun Olam's first-ever patient who was fighting cancer symptoms, this strain carries significant historical importance in the medical cannabis movement. The name "Erez" directly translates to "cedar" in Hebrew, reflecting both its heritage and aromatic profile. The strain was developed over three years through selective breeding from parents of unknown provenance in Birya, Israel, as part of Tikun Olam's pioneering medical cannabis research program that began in the early 1990s.
The strain has gained international recognition for its role in groundbreaking clinical research, particularly Dr. Naftali's randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study where 45% of Crohn's disease patients achieved complete remission and over 90% showed substantial improvement with no witnessed side effects. Erez produces dense, resin-rich flowers with light green coloration, bright orange pistils, and a heavy coating of amber trichomes. The buds are characterized by their oversized, heavy emerald green appearance with thin orange hairs and frosty, milky white crystal trichomes. Tikun Olam maintains strict proprietary control over this strain, making it unavailable as seeds or clones to the general public.
