About the Rancid Rainbow strain

The Rancid Rainbow strain is a Hybrid bred from Rainbow Sherbet #11 and Rancid Skunk. The name says rancid, but the jar says otherwise: the first thing you get is lemon cleaner, with gasoline and pineapple underneath.

It opens with a soaring head high and settles into a firm couch-lock, so it is best saved for a day without much on the list.

From the grower

This strain may have ‘Rancid’ in the name, but the aroma is the opposite of rancid. The dominant aroma is reminiscent of citrus cleaner, with subtle notes of gasoline and pineapples. This hybrid is best enjoyed when you do not have a lot to accomplish, as it boosts a soaring head high that is coupled with a firm, couch-lock effect.
