Flavor and Effects of Strawberry Diesel
The Strawberry Diesel cannabis strain offers a pungent and earthy aroma with overtones of diesel. This strong aromatic combination is often followed by hints of sweet strawberry. Fortunately, this pungent aroma is toned down as the smell carries over to its taste. When combusted, the strawberry taste overpowers the diesel flavor. This sweetness lingers as an aftertaste and can last for hours on the tongue.
