Out of the countless marijuana strains that have been discovered, smoked and bred over the years, one of the most legendary and famous strains is the White Widow, a Dutch classic grown in the Netherlands and first released in the early 1990’s.
The original White Widow was created using a pure Sativa land race from Brazil and was pollinated by an Indica hybrid from southern India. It was believed, according to legend, that this hybrid was born from years of carefully selecting and breeding in the mountains of Kerala to produce high resin content marijuana plants.
The White Widow plant can grow to almost 1m tall and the buds are covered in crystals giving an almost sugared appearance. This strain has a very strong aroma. The smell of White Widow stems is deep, sweet & sour when rubbed between your fingers. You can expect a fresh and clean pine taste with a subtle, lingering and very pleasant citrus flavor after each hit. This strain is especially wonderful for anxiety users due to its instant calming effects. It can help with migraines, PMS symptoms as well as other chronic pain.

What is live resin?
Some of the best dabs around today are what’s called live resin. While it’s still BHO, the main difference and key to its flavor is the starting material: live resin uses fresh, frozen whole cannabis flowers as opposed to buds that have been dried and cured. Extracting the oil from fresh plants captures a unique aroma that gets lost in the curing process.
Extract artists and dabbers applaud live resin for its high terpene content, but what do lab-tested terpene profiles of live resins have to say about it? Some of highest terpene concentrates at the 2015 Michigan Medical Cannabis Cup were live resins, but lab tests tell an even more interesting story than that when taken into context. Terpene analyses confirm that live resin indeed has more of a “fresh plant” terpene profile than cured-bud extractions.
