Obama Runtz
Obama Runtz
Also known as: Obama OG Runtz
Overview
Obama Runtz began as a viral internet meme when a young man mentioned his local dealer saying he had "Obama Runtz," a strain that didn't exist at the time. The strain didn't exist until this meme went viral, resulting in the founder of the original Runtz strain making a song about it, and the Obama Runtz strain then being developed. Once the meme gained traction, breeders saw the opportunity and created the strain by crossing Obama OG (Afghani X OG Kush) and Runtz (Zkittles X Gelato). Obama Runtz is an indica dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created through a three-way cross of the potent Afghani X OG Kush X Runtz strains. Obama Runtz buds have long grape-shaped bright neon green nugs with thick orange hairs, deep purple undertones and a coating of clear crystal trichomes dripping with sweet sticky resin. Scientific investigations into Obama Runtz have revealed its complex chemical composition and therapeutic potential. Research has focused primarily on its impressive THC content, ranging from 15% to 32%, and its unique terpene profile featuring high levels of myrcene, limonene, linalool, and caryophyllene. While formal clinical trials are limited, extensive user experiences have documented its effectiveness in managing chronic pain, anxiety, and sleep disorders.
