The Tangie strain is one of those cannabis varieties that marks a moment in time because everyone was picking some up at the dispensary. There was a cultural revival of the orange-forward flower thanks to DNA Genetics. The original flower went by a different name. Whichever name is on the label, Tangie or Tangerine Dream, the genetics are Skunk #1 and California Orange (aka Cali O).

Tangerine Dream was a staple in Los Angeles in the 1990s. Medical shops in Santa Ana, Calif. stocked it into the 2000s. Though Orange County dispensaries were stocking Tangerine Dream, DNA Genetics had lost track of the original cut until receiving it from a friend in 2010. After that, the company rebranded Tangerine Dream to Tangie and took it on a wild ride, earning Colorado Cannabis Cups in 2014 and 2012 and “dominating” the 2015 High Times Cannabis Cup.
Those wins were more than good marketing. Tangie is a quality variety that brings sativa-style creative energy with less intense anxiety-inducing worry and paranoia than other options.
How does Tangie smell? Look? Taste?
Orange weed is special because of the phenomenal nose–Tangie strain included. This cannabis flower has an unmistakable orange aroma with spiced earth notes. The flower is sticky with trichomes and grows in light and forest-green colors. Colas can be densely packed to combination depending on where it grows on the plant.
Its iconic flavor is one reason Tangie exploded in popularity. The taste perfectly matches its gorgeous, fruity scent. The Tangie terpenes stay strong when vaping or smoking this bud. Expect lungs filled with vibrant orange and woody skunk.
Tangie delights the senses at every step. That continues into the effect.

Effects of Tangie strain
The effects of Tangie are ideal for ideating and creating. A flurry of energy hits the brain immediately after inhaling vapor or smoke from this variety. But the sativa zing does not last for long. Over time, the high moves from the brain and down into the body, where a heaviness sets in. Tangie morphs from an uplifting sativa into a more mellow, slightly confused hybrid as the effects wear on.
Tangie has been praised as ideal for socializing, creating, and other tasks that require using the brain in a fun way. Be warned that there is some hazy confusion with this one. Have a plan for the high before getting lifted to ensure the weed does not make other plans. Not having a plan for the high before taking part is how some people scroll for an hour or watch a whole television series when they are meant to do the dishes or write a paper.
Tangie is a sativa fit for all–even indica lovers
Tangie is one of those sativas that everyone loves. This all-star hybrid cannabis strain marries the best of both worlds in a deliciously tangerine-scented package. The effects start focused and jovial before settling into a silly, heavy plateau.
Tangie is a gift, or maybe it is a Tangerine Dream. Either way, this one is a win all around.
