Diesel flavored weed strains

Anyone leave their car running? The pungent fumes of diesel strains have revved up buzz in the cannabis world since the early ’90s, when Chemdog was first passed around the parking lot at a Grateful Dead concert. The inaugural gassy notes of diesel may have come just before that thanks to Skunk strains and the acrid characteristics they share. Since then, the nose-crinkling of diesel strains has ignited some of the biggest trends in cannabis genetics and influenced the modern landscape of cannabis flavors as much as any other.

From New York’s affinity for Sours to California’s obsession with OG Kush and the eventual rise of GSC, diesel strains, and those with sharp gassy terpene profiles, have left their mark on the cannabis we enjoy today.

Diesel strains have a reputation for hard-hitting effects that tingle all of your senses the same way their sharp aroma singes your nose. Some might find them off-putting or overpowering compared to sweeter terpene profiles, but most seasoned smokers have their own nostalgic story to share about a diesel strain they love, because it gets them high like the first time they smoked.
