Best sage flavored weed strains

Sage flavored weed is exactly what it sounds like — weed that contains a distinct sage flavor. Depending on a strain’s terpene profile, sage weed strains can have a dominant earthy, herbal flavor or more of a sweet, citrusy taste. Found in indica, sativa, and hybrid varieties, sage flavored strains deliver a variety of effects, flavors, and potencies, meaning this herb-flavored herb can be enjoyed by all types of consumers, whether new to cannabis or a seasoned smoker.

With a flavor that perfectly reflects its name, Garlic Icing is a balanced hybrid with a strong herbal garlic and sage flavor blended with nuts and hints of creamy cheese and diesel. This sage weed delivers a creeping high that slowly produces a pronounced feeling of euphoria and energetic arousal that inspires a burst of motivation before a deeply relaxing body high sets in that will have you comfortably sedated and relaxed for hours. Its balanced effects make this sage weed a popular medical strain for anxiety, pain, and insomnia. 

The same terpenes that give sage (Saliva officinalis) its distinct aroma and flavor also make weed taste like sage. Sage contains several terpenes also found in some cannabis strains, including linalool, terpinolene, caryophyllene, and humulene, each containing a unique flavor and aroma that also contribute to the smell and taste of some weed strains. Caryophyllene, for example, has a spicy, peppery, clove flavor that contributes to the spicy flavor of certain strains. Humulene, on the other hand, contains a rich, earthy flavor and aroma with prominent sage and pine notes. When the terpene profile of a certain cultivar is rich in terpenes with a distinctive sage taste, it results in sage flavored weed. Strains with smaller concentrations of terpenes found in sage tend to deliver subtle sage undertones, rather than a strong sage-forward flavor.  

The effects that sage weed strain produces all depend on genetics and its cannabinoid and terpene profile. Indica-dominant sage flavored strains tend to have more of a deeply relaxing body high compared to sativa sage weed strains that deliver an energetic and motivating head and body high. Hybrid sage flavored strains take the best of both worlds, combining indica’s soothing physical effects with sativa’s energetic cerebral buzz. Sage flavored weed with high THC concentrations will produce stronger effects compared to strains with moderate or low THC — making the latter ideal for new or occasional consumers interested in sage weed without the overwhelming effects like anxiety and paranoia that highly potent strains can produce in users with a lower THC tolerance. Both terpenes and cannabinoids lend to the therapeutic potential of cannabis, including sage weed strains. For example, sage strains high in humulene could support pain, inflammation, arthritis and insomnia, as research shows it contains anti-inflammatory and potentially sedating properties. Humulene is also known to work synergistically with cannabinoids for enhanced effects, known as the entourage effect, with studies to support humulene and other terpenes combined with cannabinoids increase the pain-relieving properties of cannabis.  

Hands down, the most potent sage flavored weed is GovernMint Oasis. Best for experienced cannabis consumers and medical patients with chronic conditions, this sage weed contains an astonishingly high 30-35% THC average and delivers a powerfully potent, happy high.

For a strain that helps you de-stress at the end of the day, Obama Kush delivers a super chill vibe perfect for letting go late afternoon.
