Diesel is a well-known family or strain of cannabis that originated in the 1990s.
An intense fuel-like aroma characterizes it, said to smell like diesel gasoline, hence the name.
Let’s explore the distinct properties and background behind this popular marijuana type.
What is Diesel Cannabis?
Diesel strains are sativa-dominant hybrids descended from an original strain called Chem Dog, which was supposedly discovered in a bag of cannabis in Massachusetts.
Diesel varieties are known for their strong, gassy, diesel-like smell accented by notes of lemon and pine.
The odor is so intense that these strains may trigger headaches or nausea in those not accustomed to it.
Effects-wise, Diesel delivers a refreshing, mood-lifting high perfect for daytime use. The sativa effects generate focus and energy while relaxing the body.
Popular Diesel strains include NYC Diesel, Turbo Diesel, and AJ Sour Diesel.
Breeders continue creating Diesel crosses to enhance the trademark pungent, fuel-like aroma and uplifting high that define this distinct cannabis family.
