The smell is a nostalgic hash plant, but we were floored at how much modern \u2018mints\u2019 flavor the Phunk delivered. Get ready to feel heavy, sleepy, and hungry. Pure indica sleep mode, engage.<\/p>\n<h5>Ballin Out<\/h5>\n<h3>PDX Organics Zelato Cake<\/h3>\n<p>Oregon has mastered its mixes of zkittlez with gelato and cake.

It\u2019s sweet, fruity, creamy, gassy, and complex, and causes maximum-THC relaxation. I\u2019d vibe out to the best of Animal Collective\u2019s records, or some other live music, on this chill hybrid indica.<\/p>\n<h5>Ballin on a Budget<\/h5>\n<h2>Midzotics White Fruntz<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Midzotics White Fruntz is cheekily rebranded White Runtz.

Here they took the Runtz type <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/strains\/white-runtz\">White Runtz<\/a> and rebranded it White Fruntz. We love that Midzotics has a sense of humor, but that they also deliver good weed. White Fruntz smells bright, fruity, and inviting, with depth. It tastes sweet, light, and tropical, with a functional, high-THC hybrid effect that\u2019s great for an outing like a comedy show, or getting lost in a bookstore or art gallery.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"320\" alt=\"leafly buzz high note\" class=\"wp-image-149446 has-ll lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/leafly-buzz-12-hot-cannabis-strains-lighting-up-march-2022-12.jpg,compress&amp;w=550 550w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/leafly-buzz-12-hot-cannabis-strains-lighting-up-march-2022-12.jpg,compress&amp;w=740 740w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/leafly-buzz-12-hot-cannabis-strains-lighting-up-march-2022-12.jpg,compress&amp;w=1100 1100w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/leafly-buzz-12-hot-cannabis-strains-lighting-up-march-2022-12.jpg,compress&amp;w=1480 1480w\"><figcaption>We like to end things on a super-high note.
