Crystal Coma

Crystal Coma is a flower named for a strain that Leafly calls a rare sativa-dominant hybrid from California, and that AllBud describes as a cross of Skunk and Cheese. Leafly also lists it as Coma.

Pastel green under a blanket of crystals

Leafly describes pastel green buds under a thick blanket of crystal trichomes. AllBud describes tree-shaped, lime green buds with orange hairs.

Cheese in the box, Skunk #1 in the legend

Leafly’s genetics box lists Cheese, and its text places the origin, as myth has it, in Cheese and Skunk #1. AllBud gives the parents as Skunk and Cheese. Leafly also reports that the strain took 3rd place at the 2014 L.A. Cannabis Cup.

On Leafly the strain is a sativa; on AllBud it is a sativa-dominant hybrid in a 70/30 sativa-to-indica balance. Our type-label guide is the place to read about what such tags mean.

Pine, lemon and cheese

AllBud says the smell mixes pine and lemon intensely, with cheesy undertones, and the taste is clean and crisp with a hint of spice. Aroma tags there are cheese, skunky and sweet, and flavour tags run cheesy, citrus, diesel, lemon and sweet.

Leafly tags the flavour citrus, flowery and cheese, so citrus and cheese show up in both sites’ flavour lists.

Strength, ratings and the reported high

Leafly’s description puts THC at up to 26%, while AllBud gives 27%. Leafly shows 4.6 from 148 ratings, and AllBud shows 4.8 from 17 votes and 12 reviews.

Leafly describes deep, trance-like effects that last a long time, and its reviewers tag euphoric, tingly and uplifted. AllBud calls the high heady and mood-lifting, euphoric and happy, with energy and focus, lasting roughly two to five hours. Its users tag euphoria and happy.
