Fourway

Fourway is a indica cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and pine flavor profile.

Fourway is a classic indica-dominant cannabis strain with a rich history dating back to the 1970s. The strain originated in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, specifically in Oregon and Washington, where it gained popularity among local growers and consumers. Its name reportedly comes from the four-way intersection where the original genetics were first obtained or traded, though the exact origin story varies among different accounts in cannabis folklore. The strain has maintained a cult following for decades despite never achieving widespread commercial distribution.

Fourway is characterized by its compact, bushy growth structure typical of indica varieties, with dense, resinous buds that often display a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically covered in a generous coating of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain is known for its pungent aroma that combines earthy, skunky notes with subtle hints of pine and spice, creating a distinctive olfactory profile that experienced cannabis enthusiasts often recognize immediately.

Notably, Fourway has remained relatively unchanged genetically over the decades, preserving its original characteristics in contrast to many modern hybrid strains that have been extensively crossbred. This genetic stability makes it a valuable preservation strain for breeders and a window into the cannabis genetics of the 1970s. While not as widely available as commercial strains, Fourway continues to be cultivated by heritage growers and can occasionally be found in certain regional markets, particularly in the Pacific Northwest where it originated.
