Cannarado has established a reputation as a cannabis seed bank made up of Colorado’s most supreme genetics. The brand’s Gushers strain is no exception, earning its hype as a coveted strain among Cali weed connoisseurs. The strain got its origins from the infamous Cookies Fam in California after the brand crossed Gelato #41 with a rare Triangle Kush from Florida. The result was an indica-leaning hybrid strain with a complex flavor profile and potent psychoactive effects.
The Gushers Line
Cannarado has used the hybrid strain to create an entire line of hybrids that further elevate the flavor profile and effects of the strain. Some of the strains include Gushers OG (Legend OG X Gushers), Gushcanna (Tropicanna x Gushers), Watermelon Gushers (Cocomero Gelatti x Gushers), and more.

The first notable aspect of Gushers is its complex aroma. The strain scent starts with a burst of fruity notes with a creamy smell that quickly turns spicy in the nostrils. Users will also be able to detect notes of earth and pine similar to an OG Kush. Opening the container smacks the user in the face with a pungent smell.
The strain’s aroma is due to its dominant terpene: caryophyllene. The presence of this terpene is what gives it the spicy, kush-like aroma. Additionally, the terpene’s medicinal benefits makes Gushers a medical powerhouse of a strain. Caryophyllene has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial, and also antioxidant properties. The terpene has a strong ability to interact with CB2 receptors in the brain. These receptors are responsible for the non-psychoactive benefits of THC. Caryophyllene has been known to potentially help relieve anxiety and pain, reduce cholesterol, prevent Osteoporosis, and also treat seizures.
The strain has long, dense nugs that are light green in color. The strain is sticky due to its light coating of resin. Additionally, the hybrid has a sprinkling of crystal trichomes that give it a frosty appearance.
Gushers Experience
The Gushers strain typically contains above 24% THC, classifying it as a high-potency strain. Therefore, the indica-leaning hybrid is definitely not a strain for beginners. Users may experience heavy-hitting effects such as couch-locked relaxation and an intoxicating, calm cerebral high. The strain has some sedative properties, making it a great choice for night-time.
The strain’s flavor carries an explosion of fruit and cream on the inhale with an aftertaste of diesel on the exhale.
With the potential to aid in the treatment of insomnia, pain, nausea, anxiety, and eating disorders, the strain could easily become a staple in your cannabis medicine cabinet.
The strain also has a wide spectrum of potential for recreational uses. Stargazing, movie-watching, or straight-up relaxing are just some of the activities that would pair nicely with Gushers.
