Pez
Also known as: Pink Pez, PEZ
What is the Pez strain?
Pez is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and candy flavor profile.
Pez is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain bred from strong Asian landrace genetics, specifically Afghani and Pakistani varieties. Named after the iconic candy for its sweet, confectionary aroma, this strain has mysterious origins but is believed by some sources to have been developed by the University of Washington on Lopez Island as part of cancer treatment research. The strain rose to recognition in the Pacific Northwest during the late 1990s and early 2000s when candy-named cultivars were experiencing a renaissance. Pez is characterized by dense, frosty buds with a light green hue and orange pistils, exhibiting the classic indica structure with solid density and tightly curled leaves. Despite its indica genetics, the strain offers a balanced mix of cerebral and physical effects, delivering initial euphoria and creativity followed by deep body relaxation. The strain has maintained steady popularity as a connoisseur staple, particularly valued for its sweet berry-vanilla terpene profile and therapeutic potential without overwhelming sedation.
