3. Runtz
Another Californian plant that could reach the first place in this top of the best 50 varieties of yerba because every year it climbs several positions. For the creation of this strain, 2 of the best genetics of all time were used, Gelato and Zkittlez, famous for their sweet flavors and the large amount of trichomes they produce.

4. Gelato
Although it was the first in the top 50 best varieties of 2021, this year it has dropped to fourth place, and not because its quality has worsened, but because other more recent genetics have surpassed it. Like the 3 previous strains, Gelato also originated in the state of California, more specifically in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the great Sherbinski crossed his beloved Sunset Sherbert with the fantastic Girl Scout Cookies to shape this impressive cannabis plant.

5. Apple Fritter
It is possible that Apple Fritter is the strain that has risen the most positions throughout this year, so much so that it has entered the fifth position of this top of the 50 most outstanding varieties of 2023. Originally created by Lumpy's Flowers, it is about a combination between Sour Apple and Animal Cookies, and stands out for its impressive dark colors, its sticky layer of resin, its powerful relaxing effect, and above all for the intense flavor reminiscent of apple pie.

6. Gorilla Glue
Another genetics that came to conquer number 1 of the 50 best cannabis strains a few years ago, and that is still in the top 10. Its history is like a movie, because it arose by chance through an accidental cross caused by the sexual instability of the famous Chem Sister. Its name comes to mind, because it has the stickiest resin you can imagine, with an impressive concentration of trichomes, and an amount of THC that exceeds 25% in many cases.

7. Blue Dream
A classic that does not go out of style for many years to pass. If we were to do a top 50 of the best strains of the 90's, Blue Dream would definitely be in the top 3, because this cross between Super Silver Haze and Blueberry has everything you could look for in a cannabis plant. Outstanding hybrid vigour, high bud production, striking colors, delicious flavor, and an effect that starts out very stimulating but over time becomes very relaxing.

Another excellent work by the Cookie Fam, the group that has changed the cannabis market forever, to the point that at least 20% of this top 50 best strains of 2023 came from their hands.

9. Purple Punch
In a top 50 of the best indica varieties, it would surely be on the podium, because this cross between Grandaddy Purple and Larry OG has captivated everyone who tries it. She is the muse of the Symbiotic Genetics seed bank, one of the fastest growing worldwide over the last five years, and champions such as Mimosa or Wedding Crasher, among many others, have emerged from it. It stands out for its colors and its extreme power, but in general it is a very complete plant.

10. GMO
Although it is not a genetically modified variety, it really looks like it due to the exaggerated amount of trichomes that cover the buds, the leaves, and even many of its stems.

Within the wide range of marijuana strains with the smell and taste of desserts, there is one that stands out for its original dairy flavor, and although it has only been on the commercial circuit for a short time, it has already become one of the most consumed in the USA.

12. Gushers
What happens when you mix one of the best Gelato clones with the best OG Kush? Well, among other things, it results in one of the best herbs in this top 50 best varieties of 2023. Although it has exceptional organoleptic qualities, from our point of view the most relevant thing about Gushers is the morphology of its flowers due to its low proportion of leaves, and the medicinal effect that it gives us, especially to treat chronic pain, depression or anxiety.

13. Girl Scout Cookies
It has been more than a decade since this polyhybrid that revolutionized the cannabis market appeared on the scene, and it is still among the favorites of millions of consumers. This top 50 of the best marijuana strains is full of descendants of GSC, and although there are some that have surpassed it in popularity in recent years, we cannot forget the plant that originated this unparalleled phenomenon. Its morphology is so unique that it can be recognized with the naked eye.

14. Dosidos
Also known as Do-Si-Dos, it is a great work by the breeder ThaDocta from the Archive Seeds bank, who crossed OGKB Girl Scout Cookies with Face Off OG Bx1 without knowing that the result would go down in history for offering one of the most powerful effects of all the times. The flavor of this weed is similar to the Girl Scouts' peanut butter sandwich cookies, but with a fizzy twist inherited from their Chem ancestors.

15. Miracle Alien Cookies
You can also find it with the names MAC or MAC1, it is a polyhybrid created by the breeder Capulator through the fusion between Alien Cookies and a cross between Colombian x Starfighter.

It is the result of the cross between Clementine and Purple Punch, and it has so much limonene in its chemotype that inhaling its smoke is the closest thing to tasting a citrus drink. It is one of those flavors that invite you to consume more and more, but its effect is so powerful that a few puffs are enough to feel it in all its intensity.

Variety maintained as a clone selected by the Seedjunky Genetics bank among many copies of the cross between Bubba Kush x Animal Mints.

It is a fusion between Dosidos and Mendo Breath F2, and although it appears in the 19th position of this Top 50 of the most outstanding marijuana varieties of today, it is one of the ones that has increased its fame the most over the last few years. 12 months.

20. Green Crack
Another classic that does not go out of fashion no matter how many years pass, on the contrary, it seems that it improves over the years, just as it happens with good wine. Also known as Cush (with a C), it came out of a random cross created in the early 1990s in Athens, Ohio and was baptized with the name Green Crack by the famous rapper Snoop Dog. Her genetics contain a great Skunk pheno from Super Sativa Seed Club and an Indica thought to be Afghan.

21. Lava Cake
Alongside Apple Fritter, Cereal Milk, and Peanut Butter Breath, Lava Cake is the strain that has risen the most positions over the past year. The central pillar of this genetics is the Girl Scout Cookies Thin Mint clone, which was combined with Grape Pie to try to intensify the flavor to unsuspected limits. Lava Cake dried flower is like a little treasure, it shines like a jewel thanks to its large resin layer, and the effect can be too powerful for people with low tolerance.

The most famous variety of Oni Seed and one of the most striking plants of all time for its intense red colors. There are very pretty colorful strains, but it is unusual for even the resin to be of a bright color like that of Tropicana Cookies, special for making reddish concentrates. It is a cross between Girl Scout Cookies and Tangie, so it has a much more citrus flavor than the rest of the representatives of the prestigious Cookies lineage, and its THC content can exceed 25%.

24. Wedding Crasher
Strain resulting from the cross between 2 specimens that are also present in this top 50 of the best weed varieties of the moment, and are also among the top 10, such as Wedding Cake and Purple Punch. With that genetics, it was clear that the seeds could not be bad, but I think that nobody expected plants of such quality to come out. It is more productive than Purple Punch and more potent than Wedding Cake, so it can be said that the offspring have surpassed the parents.

25. Cherry Pie
It was not the first variety with a dessert flavor, but we think that it was the one that gave rise to all those that emerged from Girl Scout Cookies, because it was the predecessor of this genetics. Cherry Pie buds are hypnotic because they combine a deep purple color in the calyxes with orange pistils and a very shiny type of resin, something that makes them very appetizing.

36. White Runtz
Runtz made such an impact when he appeared on the cannabis scene that hybrids of this tasty and potent cannabis quickly began to appear. We think that White Runtz may be the prodigal son because it has been created by the same breeders who made the original variety a reality, who in this case crossed the Runtz elite clone with another of the best American clones, The White. Thanks to this mixture, the production of buds and trichomes has increased without losing the delicious fruity flavor.
