Leaflys Top 10 Cannabis Strains Of 2014
With 2014 coming to a close, we're taking a walk backwards in time to see which strains dominated this year's popularity contest. Chances are you've crossed paths with one or maybe all of these strains already, and if so, let's hear it: are these strains worthy of the legendary status they've achieved, or are they as overrated as that person in high school who stole your well-deserved yearbook title of "Biggest Female Gamer"? (No. I'm not bitter. Leave me alone.)

So without further ado, we bring you Leaflys most cherished strains of 2014!

10. AK-47

With beginnings that stretch back to the early 90s, time is on this hybrids side. In all her 22 years, AK-47 has risen to the highest ranks, promising effects that walk the line between stimulating EUPHORIA and mellow RELAXATION. A glance at AKs family tree begins to explain this collage of effects: genetics from COLOMBIA, THAILAND, MEXICO, and AFGHANISTAN bring together a spectrum of delightful experiences true to AK-47s HYBRID classification.

9. JACK HERER

Just like the activist this strain was named after, the SATIVA Jack Herer has gained an unforgettable reputation across the globe. We tip our hats to Sensi Seeds for bringing this PINEY, EARTHY piece of perfection into the world. Although JACK HERER also has the advantage of old age, who can deny that its medley of HAPPY, CREATIVE, and UPLIFTING effects helped carry this sativa to timeless fame?

8. GIRL SCOUT COOKIES

Unlike most of the strains on this list, GIRL SCOUT COOKIES hasnt been around long. Like a 3rd grade prodigy claiming victory in all the junior high spelling bees, Girl Scout Cookies is no stranger to Cannabis Cup gold medals even when the seasoned veterans compete. But when we consider its intoxicating EUPHORIA, its consistently thick coat of crystal TRICHOMES, and its enticing hues of twisting green and purple, we cant be surprised that this hybrid took the fast track to glory.

7. BUBBA KUSH

Another decades-old strain that survived the test of time is none other than BUBBA KUSH. While the origins of this SWEET, EARTHY indica are fuzzy to say the least, weve embraced Bubba and all of its mystery, anyway. Its hard to care about such things when Bubba Kush carries you away on a soft, fluffy cloud made of I-dont-care-because-everything-is-just-great.

6. WHITE WIDOW

What began as a Dutch coffee shop essential is now blessing stash jars worldwide, because who could possibly forget WHITE WIDOWS blizzard-y coat of trichomes? Better yet are the plethora of HAPPY, CREATIVE, RELAXED effects delivered by those precious little THC crystals. To White Widows creators at Green House Seeds, thank you for bringing life to this illustrious resin beast.

5. GRANDDADDY PURPLE

GRANDDADDY PURPLE is one of those strains that forces you to muster all of your willpower to not buy all of it as soon as youve seen and smelled its splendor. Its GRAPE and BERRY scented buds are wrapped in violet hues turned lavender by a frosty trichome blanket. What you see (and smell) is what you get with GDP: a beautifully RELAXING experience that keeps ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, and PAIN at bay.

4. GREEN CRACK

The fourth spot on our list goes to the distinguished yet unfortunately named GREEN CRACK. Its sketchy name doesnt seem to deter popularity, since this strain has racked up over 1,000 user reviews on Leafly. Few strains are truly as ENERGIZING, TALKATIVE, and straight-up ridiculous as Green Crack -- and if you dont believe me, just take a quick jaunt through some of its reviews (PARTICULARLY THIS ONE). Oh, and its got a TROPICAL CITRUS flavor. Thats nice, too.

3. OG KUSH

Where would we be without the Great Propagator of one million-billion OG STRAINS currently flooding the West Coast market? OG KUSH, with its tangy mix of LEMONY PINE and soaring cerebral buzz, wins the #3 slot on our list as well as Natural Selection: Cannabis Edition. No, the OG will never, ever die out.

2. SOUR DIESEL

Where this awkward-tasting sativa came from, we cant know for sure. But perhaps the mystery is part of SOUR DIESELS charm, no doubt bolstered by its luxurious combination of HAPPY, CREATIVE, ENERGETIC effects. There is no doubt: Sour D has secured itself a permanent throne in the kingdom of cannabis.

1. BLUE DREAM

You knew this one was coming. Like that kid that wins every single time because he/she won the genetic lottery, BLUE DREAMS amazing hybridization of BLUEBERRY and HAZE characteristics sets this strain up for world domination. From flavor to effects, Blue Dream consistently scores high in every category and is oh-so widely available. You win again, Blue Dream.
