This month’s flower of the month unleashes an aromatic explosion of candied grapefruit, orange gummies and dried cloves on the senses with Grassroots Cannabis Company’s Orange Z. A truly delectable variety, the Orange Z offers consumers a euphoric and delicious experience that slowly sedates throughout the day. Grassroots has been a brand in Maryland for quite some time, with quite a few big-name cultivars on the market. But for some reason, their Orange Z has the air of a slept-upon secret among connoisseurs in our state. Sometimes cultivars in the Cannabis industry are of such consistently high quality that they are kept a secret by those who discover them in an effort to ensure continued access. The Grassroots Orange Z is one of those delicious, complex profiles that provides one of Cannabis’s most classic and sought-after head spaces.
With an even balance of limonene and myrcene, tempered by an even balance of caryophyllene and linalool, Grassroots Orange Z is an absolutely quintessential indica headspace. Stoney, heavy, foggy and luxurious headspaces are deepened by each and every inhale, offering the consumer some of the most relaxing feelings available from the plant. Patients with pain and sleep needs can luxuriate in blissful relief, and many users can notice that this particular indica-type high offers slightly more substantial sedation. I would guess that the modest dollop of nerolidol really helps this profile achieve a deeper level of tranquility than your average toke.
As if the high wasn’t exquisite enough, the flavor is a tantalizing layer of sour fruits and spicy herbs that smell of grapefruits and tangerine farms interspersed with cloves and pepper. There is a layer of sweetness to the aroma that makes the fruit smell almost candied, leaving one drooling with desire. Grassroots Orange Z is a heavy hitter of a cultivar that is deliciously potent and succulently sedative.
