Pie Faced
Also known as: Pie Face, Pie-Faced
What is the Pie Faced strain?
Pie Faced is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and diesel flavor profile.
Pie Faced is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular strains Cherry Pie and Face Off OG. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to combine the dessert-like qualities of Cherry Pie with the potent, relaxing effects of Face Off OG. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community, Pie Faced has gained recognition primarily through West Coast cultivators and has become increasingly available in legal markets.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically exhibit deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by a thick coating of frosty white trichomes and vibrant orange pistils. The buds are often quite resinous, making them sticky to the touch. The name "Pie Faced" references both its genetic lineage and its flavor profile, which combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy, diesel undertones.
Pie Faced is noted for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its versatile effects and complex aroma profile. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Pie Faced has developed a dedicated following, particularly in regions where its parent strains have strong cultural significance.
