If you’ve ever walked into a grow room or cracked open a fresh jar of cannabis and instantly got hit with a Strawberry Gary, you know what “gas” is. But what exactly does it mean when someone calls a cannabis strain “gassy”? And why are these fuel-heavy cultivars becoming so popular in Canada?
Let’s dig into what makes a cannabis strain “gas,” and why more growers and consumers are chasing these terp-heavy powerhouses.
When a strain is described as “gas,” it typically means the buds give off a strong, pungent aroma similar to diesel fuel. It’s loud, intense, and unforgettable. This signature smell is often a blend of earthy, skunky, and chemical notes that hit the nose hard and linger long after the jar is closed.
It’s not just about the smell, though. Gas strains are usually associated with heavy-hitting effects, dense buds, and high THC levels.
The answer lies in terpenes the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its distinct scent.
In fuel-heavy strains, terpenes like myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene combine in high concentrations to create that diesel-like smell. Some of the most iconic gas strains, like OG Kush, Death Bubba, and MAC Donuts, Strawberry Gary and highly potent.
Canadian growers and consumers are embracing gas strains for a few good reasons:
