White Widow (S)

Lineage: Brazilian Sativa × South Indian Indica
Intro
White Widow is one of the most iconic strains in modern cannabis history — a perfectly balanced hybrid that first gained global fame in the 1990s Amsterdam coffee shop scene. Known for its dense coat of crystal trichomes that give it a “white” appearance, this strain delivers a euphoric, creative high paired with a calm, grounded body buzz. It’s a classic choice for both new and experienced users who appreciate clarity, focus, and a mellow, centered energy.
Appearance, Aroma & Flavor
White Widow’s buds are thick and sticky with a frosted layer of resin crystals that make them almost glimmer under light. The color palette blends pale green leaves with bright orange pistils. Its aroma is earthy and pungent, with sharp notes of pine and spice. On inhale, the flavor opens with a fresh, herbal taste followed by subtle citrus and pepper tones on the exhale.
Effects
The high begins with an instant mental lift — a euphoric surge that clears the mind and sharpens focus. As it settles, a soothing wave of body calm spreads without heaviness, keeping you alert and functional. This balanced dynamic makes White Widow versatile: great for conversation, creative thinking, or simply unwinding without sedation.
