Blue Diesel

Offered in 14 g and 28 g and labelled indica, this flower comes from Blueberry bred with NYC Diesel. Both Leafly and AllBud also know it as Blue City Diesel.

Blueberry on one side, NYC Diesel on the other

Leafly credits Breeder’s Choice with first producing Blue Diesel, and also records the names Sour Blue Diesel and New Blue Diesel. Leafly puts Blue Diesel in its hybrid category, a label our indica, sativa and hybrid guide examines alongside the other two. AllBud’s verdict is slightly indica-dominant, 60% indica to 40% sativa, with a high felt in body and mind alike.

Berry and fuel in the smell and taste

Leafly ties the light, smooth berry aroma to the Blueberry parent, and diesel, berry and blueberry lead its flavour list. Reviewers there sum up the smell as berries mixed with gasoline; one says the taste reminds them of blueberry lemonade. AllBud also traces the blueberry aroma and flavour to Blueberry, picks up a sour taste and floral notes, and tags the aroma sweet, sour, pungent and earthy as well as blueberry and diesel. One AllBud reviewer recalls buds that were dense and dank-looking, with the blueberry coming through only after the hit.

Terpene data and reported effects

In Leafly’s lab-based terpene section, myrcene sits at the top, with limonene, the citrus terpene, and caryophyllene next. Its write-up mentions a pleasant buzz in the body that runs moderately long to long, suggests the strain for daytime, and its effect gauge reads mostly energizing. Reviewers on Leafly most often report feeling relaxed, uplifted and euphoric, while AllBud users tag it creative and happy, with euphoria.

THC reads about 15% on Leafly’s strain page, with 0% CBD and a potency gauge marked above average; AllBud’s range is 16% to 23%, and it says one test reached 23%. On ratings, 644 Leafly users average 4.3 and 23 AllBud voters average 4.4.

A first smoke, by Health Canada’s numbers

For a first smoke, Health Canada keeps it to 1 or 2 puffs, preferably of flower at 10% THC or lower. The effects show up in seconds or minutes, by its account, though the peak may still be half an hour off. Its lower-risk guidelines say 6 hours should pass, at the very least, before someone who has smoked drives anywhere.
