The California Orange cannabis strain is an evenly balanced hybrid. It is also sometimes referred to as the California Orange Bud or C.O.B. This old strain has already made its mark in the marijuana world, although, aside from knowing it came from California, its origin is still pretty much a mystery up until now. In addition, it has the smell and flavor of an orange. Thus, the name.
Flavor and Effects of California Orange
The California Orange smells and tastes great. It has a pleasant orange flavor with fruity and tropical undertones. It also has a sweet taste that lingers on the mouth. The smell is initially pungent, and a little bit skunky but turns into a spicy, clove-like scent with notes of sweetness.
This strain’s high hits relatively fast. California Orange produces a clear-headed high that can still overwhelm novice users. An hour or so after the mental cerebral high, its indica property starts to creep through the body too. Complementing the head high, the body also starts to feel relaxed and calm. The California Orange cannabis strain produces an upbeat but mellow high making it an ideal bud for morning use.
What are the Medicinal Benefits of California Orange
As stated above, this cannabis strain primarily offers a clear-headed but mellow high. This aids in creativity and focus, making it especially useful for treating people with attention disorders (ADD and ADHD). The mental high also creates a sense of euphoria for users. They start letting go of anxiety and stressful thoughts. This, in turn, leads to the physical manifestation of relaxation and calmness to take place. At this rate, this strain is also helpful in alleviating mild cases of pains, such as headaches and backaches.
Negative Effects of California Orange
Despite the number of benefits it provides, this strain can also lead to some adverse reactions, especially for novice users or even for seasoned smokers, when used above tolerance limits. As common with other cannabis strains, users can experience dry, droopy eyes and itchy throats.
This fast-acting strain can also cause dizziness at the onset of the cerebral high. Mild headaches and nausea are also possible. Although the negative effects of this strain are rare, it is important to stay on the conservative side. Consuming a high dosage might instead negate some of its benefits.
Growing California Orange
The California Orange strain can be grown outdoors. However, it is best suited for indoors and greenhouse settings. Although generally, this strain is not hard to grow, it does require more attention and work throughout its growth. It thrives well-using hydroponics and the Sea of Green method.
