Randy Marsh
Also known as: Garapples (in some regions)
Randy Marsh Strain Overview
Randy Marsh is a hybrid cannabis strain named after the iconic character from the animated television series South Park. Created by crossing Apples and Bananas with Gary Payton, this evenly balanced 50/50 hybrid has gained popularity as a boutique cultivar in the modern dessert-strain market. The strain typically tests between 21-33% THC with total cannabinoids ranging from 24-30%, making it a potent option among contemporary cannabis offerings. Its release history is fragmented across craft growers, with no single universally acknowledged breeder, adding to its mystique and collectability as a limited, small-batch drop rather than a large commercial staple.
Randy Marsh produces dense, rounded buds featuring dark olive green coloration with deep amber undertones, super thin orange hairs, and tiny sparkling golden-amber trichomes. The strain is celebrated for its complex aromatic profile that sits between candy-gas and bakery-gas, often featuring softer marshmallow-like top notes. Users frequently report immediate onset effects characterized by euphoria, energy, and focus, followed by a transition to a more relaxed but happy state. The strain has become particularly popular for its balanced hybrid nature and its ability to induce fits of laughter, making it a social strain favored for creative activities and casual gatherings.
