We all know that Kansas isn’t exactly all about that cannabis legalization right now, but one thing we can say is that they are lenient when it comes to federally compliant yet psychoactive hemp products – think delta 8 THC, THC-P, HHC, and so on.  Because of that, we’re seeing that Kansans are becoming more strain-conscious than ever, showing clear preferences in the state for specific indica, sativa, and hybrid choices on the market.

Now, we just gotta take a closer look at the strains that Jayhawkers are choosing, because it demonstrates regional preferences as much as what’s more accessible to a local market.  Keep in mind, all of these strains can be enjoyed in various product forms these days, like vapes, flower, dabs, and more, thanks to the innovations of the hemp industry over the last several years.

Top 10 Strains That Kansans Want to Have

Let’s look at some strains that continue to perform really well in the state, based on consumer data and what we’ve heard from people who actually live in The Wheat State.

#10: Trainwreck

A force to be reckoned with, Trainwreck boasts an 80/20 hybrid orientation, getting its name from the way in which the strain hits you like a ton of bricks shortly after exhaling.  Trainwreck produces a huge burst of stimulating euphoria that can get you moving in no time.  It’s not for the light-hearted, as its stimulating effects can be a lot, and its warm and tingly body high isn’t exactly sedating.  Also is fantastic for socializing, since it can make you feel chatty and giggly.  Its flavor profile is dominated by notes of bright lemons and black pepper.

#9: Runtz

Runtz is a safe choice for many, since the balanced 50/50 hybrid is reliable, predictable, and tastes just like its namesake to boot.  Runtz’s couchlock effects can be powerful, and overall, the strain is very heavy on the sedating side, with a body high and cerebral high that can make you doze off easily – something that might really come in handy depending on what you’re looking to get out of cannabis.  Its high is also known for being one of the longest-lasting anywhere, so it is no wonder why so many people choose this one as part of their nighttime routine.

#8: Platinum Cookies

Another 50/50 hybrid, Platinum Cookies is a super tasty strain with a cookie-like flavor, and its deliciousness isn’t surprising considering it’s a close relative to Girl Scout Cookies.  It’s a high-THC strain, so expect a powerful high, while enjoying an initial blastoff into euphoric bliss, followed by a warm and tingly body high that gets heavier and heavier to the limbs as time goes on, lulling you into a state of unmovable peace.

#7: Sour Diesel

Even non-enthusiasts have heard of Sour Diesel, as it dominated the market for literally decades, long before ultra-potent strains were commonly in circulation.  Sour Diesel is a notorious 90% sativa-dominant hybrid documented for its powerful effects, and its distinctive flavor of sour lemons and diesel is recognizable.  It’s a super heady strain in its cerebral effects, which are euphoric, creativity-boosting, and downright hazy.  If you’ve never partaken in this classic, you’re missing out.

#6: Gorilla Glue

Speaking of high-potency, Gorilla Glue really maxes things out with a staggering 26-28% THC level.  This 60% indica-leaning hybrid is notorious for its mind-bending high that’s hazy beyond words, leaving you utterly unable to focus or move.  If you’re looking to get stoned on a whole new level, Gorilla Glue is a clear choice, and it’s not surprising that so many people opt for this one when they have a high tolerance.  Its flavor is similar to Sour Diesel, in fact, but its high is arguably even stronger.

#5: Ice Cream Cake

Ice Cream Cake has been a very sought-after choice since its debut.  It’s a 75/25 indica-dominant profile that also yields a high amount of THC.  Its parents are Wedding Cake and Gelato, which explains a lot of its massive appeal.  And, as you can tell from its name, its flavor is absolutely exquisite.  The sweet-tasting cultivar is unbelievably euphoric, all while lulling the body into a state of couchlock, which feels like being cradled in a warm blanket.  Negative thoughts will disappear as you feel a sense of inner peace that’s indescribable.

Gelato is a mainstay that isn’t going to disappear from shelves any time soon thanks to its unbelievably high demand.  It’s an indica-leaning hybrid that’s 55/45, and its THC levels are out of this world, while it tastes like fresh cream and sweet berries, drawing you in immediately.  Gelato’s euphoric effects are downright legendary, and it’s known to go from uplifting and energizing to peaceful and calm over the course of a couple of hours.  It’s also nice for the body, having a beautifully mellow effect on tightness in the muscles and joints – so much so that it’s one of the most recommended strains for physical relief on the medicinal market.

#3: Hawaiian Haze

Hawaiian Haze has been on the market for quite a while, and it continues to be a go-to among recreational and medicinal partakers.  This 50/50 hybrid offers the flavor of lush tropical fruits, hence its name, and is commonly suggested to people with various mood disorders since it can balance one’s state of mind.  Hawaiian Haze is a strain that you can take and remain focused and alert during the daytime hours, and because it’s not heavily sedating, it won’t make you fall asleep when you’re trying to stay productive.

#2: Granddaddy Purple

Granddaddy Purple is one of the most successful indica-dominant hybrids of all time, with its bold purple buds that you can spot from a mile away.  Its intensely high THC level reflects demands for stronger buds, and its 70% indica-dominant profile means you’re in for a more tranquil kind of ‘high’, and fully capable of sending you into a state of couchlock as it’s quite sedating.  At the same time, its mood-boosting yet calming properties are regarded as some of the very best in the cannabis world.

An 80% indica-dominant hybrid, Bubba Kush is an offspring of the legendary OG Kush, with above-average THC levels.  Recognized for its lazy and hazy vibes, Bubba Kush is ideal for those moments when you want to shut off the body and mind, and its body high is super heavy.  It really isn’t surprising that an influx people adore this strain at nighttime, when it can help them unwind and feel more prepared for rest.  As for flavor, this one packs a punch of earthiness and floral notes that’s totally intriguing.
