The word “super” is perhaps one of the most over used words in our language today. We use it as an adverb. We use it as an adjective and we even frequently use it to describe our weed strains, as evidenced by the two strains I randomly choose this week in hopes that they would live up to their “super” names.

The first “super” strain that I discovered was Superman OG. Superman OG is an indica dominant strain, although some sources that I read said that it was a 60% indica/40% sativa strain, which to me means that it is a fairly balanced strain, which is not what I experienced with this strain. Instead, I experienced this strain to be a heavy handed indica. Despite the categorization of this strain, what seems to be agreed upon is that it is a product of crossing the hybrid Tahoe OG Kush and indica Bubba Kush.

The first “super” thing that I noticed about this strain was its beautiful trichomes drenched buds, covered in a mass of dark orange hairs-and those buds were “super” big. Next, when consumed this super strain immediately rescued me from any stress in my mind and my body. It’s aroma is skunk , diesel and and pine and it’s flavor when smoked is almost all skunk with some earthiness.

I read that Superman OG can have THC levels up to 23% , so this super strain may not the best choice for beginners-it’s a better choice for you super stoners. . I myself used it as a sleep aid and it did a super job, relaxing me and putting me right to sleep.

Note: this strain can make you super hungry; i.e. it will give you the munchies, so make sure you’ve got some super snacks to accompany your consumption of this super strain. And, it also causes you to experience super dry mouth, so be sure to have a super-sized drink handy too!

My next super strain that came from my favorite super weed store was Super Silver Haze (also known as Super Haze or my store called it Super Hazey Daze). I reviewed this strain last year, however, I couldn’t resist trying this particular batch since it looked and smelled so super delicious.

Super Silver Haze is a sativa dominant hybrid strain, bred by Green House Seeds, It has won a bunch of awards including the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1997, 1998, and 1999. This strain was created by crossing the genetics of Skunk, Northern Lights, and Haze. And it has become one of my all time favorite sativa strains because of its great euphoric head high and mood uplifting effects-always leaving me feeling giggly and happy. It’s flavor sweet and earthy flavor and it’s aroma is pretty much the same. This strain uplifts, energizes but also relaxes your mind so you just feel super good. All in all, perhaps the word super is used too often and too much, however in the case of the two super strains I choose this week-the word super seems to fit, just perfect. They were both super!
