A strain that shares its name with a 1997 film

Leafly points out that the strain shares its name with the 1997 film in which Nicolas Cage and John Travolta trade faces. Its history, as Leafly tells it, begins with an OG Kush phenotype that reached Archive Seeds in late-1990s California. AllBud notes that many people claim it is a cross of two heavy indica strains.

Lime green buds under red hairs

AllBud describes dense, lime green buds with green leaves and a good coverage of red hairs. One AllBud reviewer saw golden green buds covered in crystal trichomes, with pine and spice in the flavour and an earthy smell.

AllBud’s flavour tags for the strain are citrus, herbal, pine, spicy and sweet. AllBud calls the taste and smell ordinary, but says they leave a pleasant aftertaste.

Body high and euphoria in the reviews

AllBud’s effect tags include body high, creative, euphoria, happy, relaxing and uplifting, and it describes a potent strain with a heady high. Leafly likewise calls it a potent indica, also describing it as a 70/30 indica-dominant hybrid, and 194 user ratings there average 4.7. AllBud’s THC figure for the strain is 20%, and Leafly’s is 22%.
