Starburst Strain Overview
Starburst, which also goes by the nicknames “Starburst OG” and “Starburst Kush,” is a powerful pain-relieving blend between Pre-98 Bubba Kush and Fire OG. Consumers who favor this strain often praise it for the buzzy and uplifting high that it produces. A fit of giggles may also be on the cards for Starburst’s hard-hitters, but according to consumers, you don’t need to overload this citrus-pepper treasure in order to reap the rewards of its THC and CBD composition. The pungent, sour lemon scent and peachy flavor will pleasantly stimulate the senses at any time of day.
A popular choice for relief from acute pain, stress, and headaches, this hunger-inducing strain is best consumed within close proximity to a snack bowl. Starburst is recognizable from its dense layer of twinkling amber gold trichomes and flat emerald nugs, which are speckled with carrot-orange hairs. THC levels can reach highs of 23%, while CBD levels may reach 8%. Consumers say you may expect to feel “stoned” yet focused and clear-headed.
