Green Crack

SATIVA

Originally called Green Kush, this strain was renamed by Snoop Dogg after he experienced its intense, focused energy. The name stuck — for better or worse. Green Crack (also marketed as Green Cush or Mango Crack) is one of the most purely energizing strains in cannabis. It's the go-to for people who use cannabis for productivity rather than relaxation. The Skunk #1 genetics provide a sturdy, easy-to-grow plant with fast flowering times and generous yields.

Green Crack is the espresso shot of cannabis. The name is unfortunate (originally called Green Kush, Snoop Dogg renamed it), but the effects are undeniable — it's one of the most energizing strains available. You feel awake, sharp, focused, and ready to conquer your to-do list. The mental clarity is remarkable. It's the strain people use to replace their morning coffee or afternoon energy drink. Very little body effect — this is all cerebral.
