One Strain Five Ways: Sour Diesel

Brett KonenLast updated July 28, 2020

Sour Diesel is the most popular sativa-dominant cannabis strain on Leafly. An invigorating strain named after its pungent, diesel-like aroma, Sour D is believed to have descended from Chemdawg 91 and Super Skunk. It acts fast and delivers energizing, dreamy cerebral effects that have pushed the strain to reach its legendary status. Since taking root in the early 90s, it has proliferated widely and today is found on the market in perhaps more forms than any other single sativa strain out there.

In 1S5W, we meet five iterations of Sour Diesel in each of the five largest US adult-use (or soon to be adult-use) markets: California, Washington, Colorado, Oregon, and Nevada. Pre-roll packs, oil cartridges, dabbable concentrates, terpenes, edibles, whole-plant extracts, tinctures, clones, classic flower, related strains, and even apparel are all available in iterations of and variations on the Sour Diesel theme. Want to find your new favorite take on Sour D?

From there, hit your favorite dispensary to hunt down one, some, or all five of the products listed.
