2010s weed strains that should come back with indie sleaze
Nostalgia is moving faster than ever in the social media age, and little by little, 2010 trends are entering the modern zeitgeist. Peplum tops are peeking out in influencer looks, and 2010s-style club bangers have never been more needed. In this age Instagram was new, but weed had been around for a long, long time. As these trends come back into focus, maybe the best 2010s weed strains will come with them.
The hottest strains of this time didn’t hinge on sweet flavors, though the dessert strains trend was rising in the last half of the decade. This time in cannabis culture was all about in-your-face flavor profiles. Prominent, interesting terpene combinations reigned supreme with the inaugural rise of Glues, Zkittles, Runtz, and more.
GSC
The day G*rl Sc**t C**kies (GSC) dropped cannabis culture was changed forever. This strain earns its name from smelling like a warm batch of freshly baked cookies. GSC is a cross of OG Kush and Durban Poison created sometime in 2010-2011 by Cookies co-founder Lesjai Peronnet Chang (aka Jigga).
Shortly after dropping, the strain became a dispensary staple and over the last decade, served as a parent for many excellent strains. GSC changed the game when it launched weed into the dessert realm, shaping the culture that exists today.
The Original Z, formerly known as Zk*ttl*z
This strain was named after a popular candy, but after legal action, the name was changed to the Original Z. The variety’s parentage is gray. One parent is said to be a cross of Grapefruit and Grape Ape, but the other is unknown. Terp Hogz and 3rd Gen Farmsworked together, bringing The Original Z to life.
The strain earns its name with a tropical fruit-forward aroma profile. It has staying power because of its memorable hybrid effect that relaxes a person while maintaining focus. Many believe this is an advanced strain to grow, and it often has low yields, which is why it’s seen more rarely in dispensaries.
Wedding Cake
Vanilla frosting is a prominent scent in Wedding Cake, a strain that blew up in the latter half of the 2010s. Seed Junky Genetics, a southern California breeder, created the indica hybrid using Animal Mints and Triangle Kush. Smoking, dabbing, or vaping Wedding Cake may bring a sense of calm and heaviness to the body
Miracle Alien Cookies
Miracle Alien Cookies is also known as the MAC1 strain or The MAC. California breeder Capulator created the strain from Miracle and Alien Cookies. Cap created the latter, a strain rarely seen, by accident after running a cross of Starfighter and Colombian Gold through the washing machine, hence the name Miracle.
