What is the Purple Drank strain?
Purple Drank is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Purple Drank is a popular name used by multiple cannabis breeders for different strains, creating significant confusion in the cannabis community. The most well-documented version comes from Riot Seeds as an indica-dominant hybrid crossing Ellie's cut of Girl Scout Cookies with WCD710. Another notable version, also known as Mr. Tusk, was created by Kushman Veganics as a phenotype of Ken's OG Kush specifically for the 2014 Kevin Smith film Tusk. Additional versions exist from 3rd Shift Genetics (crossing Purple Lemonade and Cake Pops) and Happy Bird Seeds (crossing Black Strap R1 with a Mimosa and Orange Punch hybrid). The strain name references the infamous codeine-containing beverage, though the cannabis versions are entirely separate products. Most Purple Drank varieties are known for their distinctive purple coloration, sweet grape-like flavors, and potent effects. The Riot Seeds version is particularly noted for producing wildly purple flowers with a sweet grape flavor profile and notable dankness beneath the fruit flavors. It's described as a high resin producer, making it excellent for extraction purposes.
