Sour Diesel, sometimes abbreviated as Sour D, is an extremely popular strain. It is distinguished by the fuel-like chemical smell of its flowers. It has a mostly sativa head high with some subtle physical indica relaxation. As a result, it is popular among recreational and medical users alike. This is a potent strain, with a THC content that had been measured at between 20% and 25%.

The high from Sour Diesel comes on users quickly in the form of a warm and pleasant head rush. An uplift in mood may be noticeable as well. Although Sour Diesel stimulates synaptic activity in the brain, the character of this head high is more spacey than intensely cerebral.

Users may feel chatty if surrounded by others or somewhat introspective if enjoying the strain alone. For many, this soaring high is partially anchored by a slight feeling of physical relaxation. That said, a body stone that leads to full-on couchlock is rare. The sense of euphoria that comes with this variety may be helpful in treating some symptoms. These symptoms include; mild stress, anxiety, or depression.

Its tendency to lead to associative thinking may provoke a bit of creative inspiration. Fans of the Sour Diesel also describe relief from troublesome aches and pains. Sour Diesel’s combination of mental and somatic effects may also make it a potent aphrodisiac in certain situations.

As is common with many strong sativas, the altered mental state brought about by Sour Diesel may prove overwhelming for some. As a result, this may lead to paranoid, recursive thinking or a feeling of being generally “out of control” of one’s thoughts or body. Lastly, users especially those with a lower THC tolerance, should adjust their intake accordingly.
