Gary Poppins

Gary Payton meets Red Runtz in this Exotic Genetix cross, named for the basketball player and a candy. Other write-ups place THC at 25 to 30%, while our record lacks a figure, so treat it as a strong strain. The lab panel shows beta-caryophyllene at 0.535%, limonene at 0.498%, myrcene at 0.19% and humulene at 0.185%, a spicy-citrus lead.

Flavor tags read fruity, sweet and earthy, and reviewers describe a layered, peppery taste with diesel and herbal undertones. Effect tags include creative, energetic, euphoric, focused, giggly and happy, and reviewers add relaxation. A gram reportedly costs fifteen to twenty dollars on some menus.

Exotic Genetix is also the breeder behind other strains in this list, so fans of one may enjoy another. It fits people who like their sweetness cut with diesel and herb. Given the strength, begin with a small amount, let it develop, and avoid mixing it with other strong strains in the same session.
