Candyland

Candyland is a sativa-leaning strain that comes from crossing Granddaddy Purple with Bay Platinum Cookies. It is a somewhat surprising pairing, since Granddaddy Purple is better known for its indica character, yet the result is commonly placed on the uplifting side of the spectrum.

Buds are usually bright green with orange pistils and a sparkly layer of trichomes. Despite the sugary name, the aroma tends to be a mix of sweet, earthy and lightly spicy notes rather than pure confection. Caryophyllene is often linked to spicy and peppery scents, myrcene to earthy and herbal tones, and limonene to the sweet, bright lift on top.

People often report an uplifted, happy feeling with a noticeable boost of energy, which is why Candyland is commonly described as a daytime strain. Some enjoy it for social plans, errands or creative projects. THC can range quite widely, roughly 15-24%, and potency varies a lot by grower, phenotype and batch.

That wide range means Candyland can suit both moderate and experienced consumers, depending on the specific product. Start low and go slow, and read the lab results on the package to see where your batch falls. You can find Candyland at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you on WhereLeaf.
