When it comes to cannabis strain potency, stronger isn’t necessarily better. It’s all about a strain’s effects and the vibe you’re aiming to achieve. And soaring THC levels don’t necessarily yield the ideal effects or superior vibes.
But many cannabis consumers – perhaps you included? – are still keen to try the highest potency strains. In fact, “What’s the world’s STRONGEST cannabis strain?” is one of our most frequent questions and Cannawayz.com.
Well, if you’re looking to take on pot's most potent puffs, here are a handful (or a pipe full) of the world’s strongest cannabis strains.
Godfather OG
With THC levels cresting 35%, High Times (weed’s unofficial bible) has officially proclaimed Godfather OG “The most potent marijuana strain on the planet!” An Indica dominant hybrid, this ultra-strong strain is a blend of Cherry Pie, OG Kush, and Granddaddy Purple.
In terms of effects, the strain delivers a cerebral high that quickly gives way to full-body euphoria. And despite the Godfather’s potency, users report feeling “calm, happy, and totally relaxed.”
Chemdawg
Another chart-topper, with THC levels confirmed over 32%, Chemdawg isn’t lagging far behind Godfather OG. The strain is also shrouded in mystery, with very little known publicly about its genetics or history. But the “word on the street” is Chewdawg is likely a cross between Thai and Nepalese Sativa strains.
Regardless of its roots, the Indica-dominant hybrid’s sedative properties are excellent if you’re heavily stressed and need an efficient and effective comedown. But inexperienced users can find themselves sucked into the void of “total couch-lock.” So, user, beware!
Gorilla Glue 4
Hot on the heels of Godfather OG and Chewdawg, Gorilla Glue 4 registers THC levels of nearly 32%. Bred from a mix of Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel, GG4 is one of these rare, perfectly balanced 50/50 hybrids.
Users report an initial “massive energy burst,” followed by a “soaring euphoric high” that often inspires a “surge of creativity," eventually giving way to “deep relaxation.”
And similar to Chemdawg, Gorilla Glue 4’s high potency is known to induce serious “couch-lock” effects.
Bruce Banner
Ever seen the Incredible Hulk “lose control” and morph into a giant green monster (as depicted in countless comic books, TV shows, and movies)? Well, that’s the effect Bruce Banner reportedly has on its users. And with THC levels charted at roughly 30%, such claims are entirely believable.
Crafted with a cross between OG Kush and Strawberry Diesels, this Sativa dominant hybrid delivers a simulating jolt. Users report feeling elated and energized but still driven and focused, making Bruce Banner a great daytime strain.
Red Dragon
Red Dragon’s THC levels peak just shy of 25%, making it as potent as its name implies. Made with a mix of South American with Afghani strains, the Sativa dominant hybrid is renowned for the vivid red hairs adorning the mature buds, which some say give it a “dragon-like” appearance.
Red Dragon users report the strain’s effects are sometimes contradictory. While a sense of cheery euphoria is a mainstay, a surge of excitement coalesces with equal feelings of relaxation.
