Sour Apple Strain Overview

Sour Apple, nicknamed “Sour Apple Diesel,” is a cross between Cinderella 99 and Sour Diesel. Potent, pungent, and packed with an average of 17% THC or more, this tastebud-tingling strain is said to provide a relaxing, medicated experience for medical cannabis patients with depression, anxiety, and stress. 

Although Sour Apple is reportedly slightly energizing, high doses may cause a couch-locking effect. It contains citrus, fruity, and sweet notes bundled into a terpene blend that smells like an orchard of fresh apples. Sour Apple is visually striking, too, with orange pistils plastering its fluffy green cone-shaped nugs. 

Strain profile, effects, and common uses are based on customer reviews. Further research is needed, and effects may vary by user. Information on this page does not constitute or replace medical advice.

Sour Apple Strain Effects & Common Usage

The Sour Apple weed strain’s primary terpenes include myrcene, limonene, pinene, linalool, and caryophyllene. Combined with THC, these compounds may promote stress and anxiety relief, as well as boost mood.

Giggly. Limonene and THC may have cerebral and uplifting effects that may help increase feelings of happiness and euphoria, potentially leading to a fit of giggles.

Happy. THC may promote happiness, likely by promoting the release of dopamine

Creative. Many users have reported that THC-dominant strains with high levels of limonene may boost creativity and imagination.

Anxiety. Myrcene, pinene, limonene, and caryophyllene may offer anxiety relief.

Depression. Studies have shown that pinene, linalool, limonene, and caryophyllene can potentially induce antidepressant effects. 

Stress. While THC may be a stress-buster in low doses, myrcene has been hailed as a stress reliever in some studies.

Sour Apple Strain Dosage Recommendations

The average potency of Sour Diesel makes it not ideal for beginners, so start with one puff and wait 15 to 30 minutes to assess the effects. If you’re an experienced consumer, medicate with one to two puffs, depending on your symptom severity and desired effect. 

The right dosage can vary greatly from one user to the next. If you have questions about finding the right dosage or product type for your needs, consider consulting with a medical cannabis doctor, or you can request a consultation with NuggMD’s Cannabis Concierge.
