Candy Rain

Candy Rain is flower labelled as a sativa, in five sizes, 1 g at the low end and 28 g at the top. Leafly lists the strain as a hybrid, describes it as indica-dominant and credits Cookies Fam Genetics with crossing London Pound Cake and Gelato.

A London Pound Cake and Gelato cross

Leafly names Gelato and London Pound Cake as the parents and lists Candy Mac and Candy Jam as its children. Our Indica vs Sativa vs Hybrid guide is the place to start for what those three labels mean.

Big, round, sticky buds

One Leafly reviewer describes big, round, very sticky buds with a pungent sweet smell when the bag is opened.

Pungent citrus, fruity berries and a fresh-rain finish

Leafly’s text gives the aroma as pungent citrus and the flavour as fruity berries, and its flavour tags are butter, berry and sweet. One reviewer picks out berry, grape and buttery flavours, and another reports sweet floral notes on the inhale and a fresh-rain taste on the exhale.

Caryophyllene is the dominant terpene on Leafly, followed by limonene and humulene; our limonene explainer covers the citrus-scented one.

THC and the effects reviewers report

On Leafly the strain carries THC at 20% and CBG at 1%, a potency the site’s meter places above average. Leafly users tag the strain euphoric, happy, relaxed and tingly most often, and its rating stands at 4.6 from 51 ratings.

Leafly’s 20% beside Health Canada’s first-session advice

Leafly’s 20% is double the 10% THC or lower that Health Canada’s lower-your-risks page recommends for a first go, which it sets at one or two puffs, and the same page adds that the effects can need up to thirty minutes to reach their peak. Where a drive follows a Candy Rain session, the wait Health Canada gives is six hours or more, as set out in its lower-risk cannabis use guidelines.
