Summer 2022 is in full effect. In between festivals, beach outings, and miscellaneous outdoor adventures, you’re going to want to keep some good weed around. If you’re a flower smoker like me, you want to match your terp profiles to the season. What does Terps mean? They’re the tasty oils that make up our favorite plant. And summer smells like limonene in the air! I’ve compiled a complete list of some of my summer time favorites. Most of these strains are very popular and can be found just about anywhere, making this a handy cheat sheet for your next dispensary run.

A zesty hybrid, Orange Pie is popular as of late. With a strong citrusy taste that's both savory and sweet, you’ll be pleased to know that it is also popular for its pain relieving abilities.
Sunny MAC
If you’re like me, you love a good MAC dominant strain. Always an uplifting high, this sativa is orangey and creamy and reminiscent of an orange creamsicle. Nothing like Sunny Mac on a sunny afternoon.
