One Strain Five Ways: Sour Diesel

Published on November 9, 2017 · Last 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.
