Blue Dream Strain: Effects, Taste, THC and Lineage

Blue Dream is a sativa-dominant hybrid bred from Blueberry and Haze. Leafly says it originated in California, has reached legendary status among West Coast strains and is one of the most searched strains in its database. Wikipedia's entry on cannabis strains also places its origin in California and dates it to 2003. None of these sources names the breeder.

Leafly and AllBud both describe it as a sativa-dominant hybrid, and AllBud puts the split at 60% sativa and 40% indica. Our guide to indica vs sativa vs hybrid explains what those labels can and cannot predict.

AllBud describes large, dense but fluffy popcorn-shaped buds in bright green, with amber and blue hairs and a fine coat of milky white trichomes. The smell is usually described as sweet berries: Leafly reviewers list berry, blueberry and sweet as the top flavours, and AllBud compares the aroma to sweet blueberry pie, adding herbal and vanilla notes to the flavour list.

Leafly's terpene data from lab-tested products puts myrcene first, followed by pinene and caryophyllene. Our terpene guide explains what each one adds to the smell.

Leafly describes a balanced high with cerebral stimulation and full-body relaxation, and its nearly 15,000 reviewers most often report feeling creative, euphoric and happy. Leafly still rates its effects as mostly energizing. AllBud describes a quick, uplifting head high with focused, creative energy, accompanied by a mellow body feel. Our explainer on head high vs body high covers that split.

The negatives Leafly reviewers mention most are dry mouth, dry eyes and dizziness. Start with a small amount, and follow Health Canada's lower-risk guidelines: do not drive or operate machinery for at least 6 hours after using cannabis.

AllBud lists THC at 17% to 24%, and Leafly says Blue Dream can be more than 20% THC with low CBD, showing 21% THC on its page and rating it above average. Check the lab-tested THC and CBD numbers for the batch in front of you rather than relying on the strain name.

Blue Dream's closest relatives are its parents, Blueberry and Haze. Leafly names Blue Dream CBD, Double Dream and Blue Magoo as similar strains, and lists Pinnacle and Blue Magic among Blue Dream's offspring.
