Many users report creative inspiration after a few puffs.
In 2008, the Pineapple Express depicted by the James Franco and Seth Rogan film was an ultrapotent super bud. The real life version? A great strain, but not nearly as intense. Pineapple Express is an upbeat flower with a smooth, tropical taste. A charming cerebral high coupled with an easy bodily relaxation and scrumptious aroma make this strain one of the most popular hybrids around.
According to actor and comedian Seth Rogen, the Pineapple Express cultivar didn’t exist until after the 2008 movie of the same name brought the name into the spotlight. Inspired by the film, growers took it upon themselves to create a potent cultivar that the film described as “the dopest dope.”
Pineapple Express combines the potent and flavorful forces of parent strains Trainwreck and Hawaiian. The smell is likened to fresh apple and mango, with a taste of pineapple, pine, and cedar. This hard-hitting hybrid provides a long-lasting energetic buzz perfect for productive afternoons and creative escapes.
The Pineapple Express strain of the film may have been a couch-locking super bud, but the strain in real life is a different beast. The high tends to begin in the head, with a happy kick and a positive sense of well-being. Though sativa-dominant, the strain strikes a balance between body and mind.
What kind of high should I expect?
This strain is old school — meaning it came before a time of test results and cannabinoid content. Cannabis was bred for flavor not potency. Pineapple Express, for this reason, exhibits a much more mild and uplifting high than many of today’s super potent exotics. It usually tests between 14-18% THC content when in flower form — so it’s midrange in terms of potency. This creates a mellow all-day smoke for every level of user and above all a sweet, tropical, funky pineapple taste.
Many consumers report that it also provides a smooth and gentle bodily relaxation, easing signs of physical stress. Those that are a little more canna-savvy may be able to wake n’ bake with this bud, but be prepared for some drowsiness later on down the road.
Like many high-THC strains, this one can stimulate appetite. Grab some friends and a bowl of snacks before breaking into this flavorful herb.

Possible Side Effects of Pineapple Express
Pineapple Express is not considered an insanely potent strain when compared to other strains on the marijuana market, so because of this, its adverse effects are considerably more mild. The most commonly reported side effects after consuming this cannabis, are dry mouth, dry eyes, or a feeling of dehydration. To assist with any sensations of dry mouth or dehydration, it is vital to drink plenty of hydrating fluids before, during and after your high, just to make sure the likelihood of this lessens. Dry eyes is solvable by keeping a bottle of moisturizing eyedrops on hand, which can be purchased for an affordable price at your local drug store. Other than what is listed above, any other side effects are much less likely, if not rare, so Pineapple Express is considered a fairly risk-free strain to consume.
