Evergreen

Now that the summer is upon us, it’s time to revel in some of the great sights and fresh smells that the season offers. If you find yourself looking for active holidays, with lots of creative ideas to travel around the country or even beyond, the Evergreen marijuana strain will be a good companion in your journey.

With such a rich palette of fragrances and delicious flavors, Evergreen very well deserves its name, because both the sensory experience and the high are actually evergreen and can suit every season.

Origins of Evergreen

Evergreen is a sativa-leaning variety bred by Greenpoint Seeds and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. This strain is the continuation of Alpine Kush — a three-way cross of Polar Bear OG, Bodhi’s Appalachia, and Hollywood Pure Kush. The hybrid encompasses some of the most desired genetic in cannabis today.

THC Content of Evergreen

Evergreen falls into the mid-potent bracket, with 20% of THC on average. Although we don’t know much about its CBD content, this strain is a rather mild hybrid, so we guess that there’s at least 1% of CBD in its genes given the soothing experience the flower provides (more on that later)

Appearance of Evergreen

Although great for summertime activities, the appearance of Evergreen is more reminiscent of early fall rather than mid-summer. The lush, dark green exterior is vastly threaded through with wild and vivid orange. The strain’s bag appeal is topped with a beautiful coating of snow-white trichomes that give it a nice glitter.

Fragrance & Flavors of Evergreen

You can tell by the smell of the buds that Evergreen smells of lush forest, which is indicative of its high pinene content. As you break up the buds, they instantly begin to unleash more of that powerful forest aroma. At the background, it shows hints of mush and earthiness teasing the nose of the user and bringing on a feeling of relaxation.

Effects of Evergreen

As we said, Evergreen is a mild hybrid strain with a decent sativa background and a slight indica influence. It doesn’t overpower the consumer; it rather balances out the relaxing and invigorating properties quite well.

Cannabis users who have tried Evergreen report that a decent dose of this strain can provide a sense of calmness that spreads throughout the entire body. On the mental part, the buzz is pleasantly energizing and it melts the stress away, so it actually gets you the best of both worlds. Together, these effects bring a harmonious effect allowing both novice and experienced consumers to enjoy their smoking session without overthinking things, or being too strongly affected by heavy sativa or indica properties.

Medical Uses of Evergreen

Medical cannabis users can use the Evergreen strain as a year-round flower. According to online reviews from patients, this variety is perfect for those looking for relief from conditions such as chronic pain, migraines, social anxiety, and nausea. 

Potential Side Effects of Evergreen

Like most cannabis strains, Evergreen is known for making the user’s mouth feel dry. Red, dry eyes are a common issue as well, but these are rather mild side effects that don’t affect your daily performance. Because of the mild psychoactivity, Evergreen doesn’t induce feelings of anxiety or create paranoid thinking patterns, so you’d need to consume really excessive amounts of this flower to get overwhelmed by its indica and sativa effects.

Evergreen – Summary

Evergreen is a unique sativa-dominant hybrid with a well-balanced THC content and a versatile profile of effects. It can give you a positive jolt of energy while easing the mind and offering complete relaxation to the body. If you’re a flavor chaser looking to experience a well-rounded high for nearly every occasion, the Evergreen strain will be your best bet.
