This sativa-dominant hybrid is called an “upper” for a reason. You’ll experience soaring THC levels around 22% that elevate your mood, keep you in a positive headspace, and relieve depression. The diesel aroma, however, is not everyone’s favorite.

Unsurprisingly, Sour Diesel makes a popular choice amongst patients with depression and other mood disorders. This strain feels like a mental vacation for your brain, which relieves chronic stress and anxiety for hours at a time. With so much THC (around 22% on average) crammed into one strain, you don’t need a lot to feel the full force of Sour Diesel. We recommend that you consume slowly and steadily until you feel your best.

The fragrance and aroma of Sour Diesel smell citrusy, sour, and gasoline-like. Some call Sour Diesel an acquired taste because of the diesel notes. Because of its 22% THC, we recommend that only experienced smokers turn to Sour Diesel for a mood boost. Too much of this strain could have the opposite effect and lead to anxiety and paranoia.
