You may have heard of “Smokin’ the ZaZa” from the song “Whoopty” by CJ. The term ZaZa is slang for fire, exotic weed and became popular in March of 2020 partly due to its reference in popular rap. But, it’s understandable why it’s considered a favorite to some famous rappers.
Though ZaZa typically refers to any exotic, high-grade weed, and not just one particular cut, it is also a strain of its own. The ZaZa cannabis strain is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) grown by multiple cultivators, including Grand CRU and GasHouse. It has a smooth fruity/diesel taste and a pine-peppery smell. Additionally, this strain is THC-dominant and has a potency of around 19% – 21% THC.
What is the ZaZa Weed Strain?
The ZaZa strain is a hybrid made from Blue Dream and Rare Dankness #1. The nugs are gassy, medium-sized, dark green and purple in color, and covered in thin light orange hairs and gelato-like trichomes. Additionally, the strain has a blueberry and lemon taste with a diesel and pine smell. Some say ZaZa seems to have pulled off the genetic weed lottery.
ZaZa Strain Effects
Those who smoke this strain say it offers a heavy full-body/head high that takes over for a long time. It may make you feel sleepy and calm so it’s best not to smoke it if you want to be motivated/creative. In other words, it is a dreamy strain that may be good for someone who has trouble sleeping at night. Additionally, many said smoking this strain made them feel super hungry, happy, and relaxed. As a result, the strain is commonly used for anxiety, depression, insomnia, nausea, and appetite loss.
“One of the most potent strains I’ve tried. The 30% sativa side is definitely there and the 70% is definitely there also. The head high is intense but so is the body.”
