The cannabis market of Southern California has always been competitive, but at some spots such as Long Beach, dispensary customers tend to be more demanding. The LBC is home to OG Kush, a strain that became legendary among West Coast rappers in the 1990s, so it is easy to understand why cannabis enthusiasts here are more discerning.
When looking for the best marijuana in Long Beach, you want to look for reputable dispensaries where top-shelf cannabis is always on the menu. Here are some strains that budtenders in the LBC have been recommending in recent years:
Lemon Cherry Gelato by Hex
Here you have a hybrid based on the legendary Lemon Haze and Gelato strains, which are balanced hybrids themselves. With a THC content of 26.9%, Lemon Cherry Gelato is a pleasant strain that can keep you focused and feeling energized all day long.
Skywalker OG by Stiiizy
If you prefer stronger indica strains, Skywalker OG is a good option for seasoned smokers. At 4.1% THC, this strain burns smoothly and hits strongly; for this reason, you should take measured tokes when trying it for the first time.
Rail Up by Blem
Looking for a more manageable sativa that you can hit throughout the day? Rail Up is a hybrid strain that many smokers describe as “daytime cannabis” because it does not send them to the couch.
GMO by West Coast Cure
This strain is ideal for smokers who prefer the natural flavors of old-school strains. GMO is a hybrid based on the first sativa strains released by Cookies, and it packs a punch.
