Runtz is a highly popular hybrid cultivar that is a cross of Zkittlez and Gelato. The bright green buds are covered in sugar-like trichomes and produce a candy-sweet and citrusy aroma. Breaking up the flower gives straight sweet tarts, lemon rinds, clementine oranges, and creamy bananas with hints of mint.

While not as much fruit was present in the flavor, it was still very enjoyable. The delicate, flavorful smoke was more like saccharine-frosted funk with herbaceous notes of dill and parsley. The flavors were piney and herbal with a bit of red pepper and orange aftertaste. Caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene are often dominant terpenes in the Runtz flower.

Immediately, I felt a relaxing sensation behind my eyes. I experienced a heavy head-high overtake with my senses within a toke or two and became very relaxed and almost dreamy. I had a euphoric calm feeling, and there was noticeable relief from moderate body aches and any anxiety I was experiencing. Testing at 31.21% active cannabinoids and boasting a strong terpene profile that appealed to my senses, I found this strain to be rather successful in its sedating effects that mellowed out into a happy, peaceful high I felt both in my body and cerebrally. It boosted my creativity and lasted for several hours with lessened heaviness which I found pleasant.
This Indica-leaning hybrid boasts a high 30.74% THC testing that helped in bringing apt relief for my body pain and making me feel carefree as I went about my day. This strain would be good for a lazy Sunday, or winding down after work with or without a glass of wine. Its soothing effects are more suited to serene environments and chilling out. My choice activities for rolling up some Runtz: walks in the park, cloud-watching from a hammock, or even a good movie marathon all would be beneficial with this strain.

When ranked against other developed, wealthy nations, America consistently falls to the bottom of the list in healthcare.
