This weed strain makes everyone magical

Unicorn Poop strain: White unicorn on the beach

Certain cannabis names leave room for pause, like the Unicorn Poop strain. While the flower surely doesn’t smell like poo, nor are unicorns real (we think), the name grabs attention.

As I took a whiff, I saw some meaning in the name. It smells like a fruit with a funky edge. This cross of GMO and Sophisticated Lady brings an edge I’ve never experienced. Unicorn Poop is a flavor I never thought I’d crave, but now you could call me a fan.

Unicorn Poop was created by Thug Pug Genetics, the breeder also responsible for the Pure Michigan strain and Peanut Butter Breath. They say the name comes from the rainbow of colors and citrus fuel scent. The parents are GMO (Garlic Mushroom Onions) and Sophisticated Lady, a lesser-known cross of Ghost OG and Grateful Breath. These phenotypes have complex terpene profiles, harnessing savory garlic and fresh earth. The parent plants are also prominent in the effects, relaxed but balanced.

I tried a version of Unicorn Poop grown by Freya Farms in Washington state. The package lists it as an 80 percent indica, but I am more in hybrid territory after an initial spike.

Unicorn Poop strain looks, smell, and taste

Fruit and earth marry in Unicorn Poop, a truly unique cannabis strain. The flower grows dense, covered in sparkling trichomes. Its leaves grow dark purple with forest green splotches on chunky pine tree-shaped cones. Things get more complicated when it comes to the scent.

The Unicorn Poop strain scent is reminiscent of neroli oil, a bitter citrus, and fresh soil. Frozen berries came through when I took a deeper smell. As for taste, some freshly cut grass came through clary sage and cut grass. The taste is sharp, and none of the fruit translated into the flavor.

This aesthetic experience is delightful, and the effects are just as fun.

Effects of Unicorn Poop strain

Bong hits are my favorite way to experience a new strain, and Unicorn Poop was no different. I felt this variety in my temples and sinuses. The strain released tension that I didn’t know was there. That relaxation flowed to my shoulders as they fell from my ears.

Focus was fleeting in the first 20 minutes. It was hard to hold my attention as the strain took hold. It did not hit me over the head like a true indica strain, nor did it make my head feel like it was a helium-filled balloon floating away from my body. This is why I would side more with a slightly indica hybrid than the label of my flower suggested.

As the plateau hit, I was blessed with the slightest body high and stress relief. Unicorn Poop did not leave me completely wrecked. I enjoyed some and then continued on with my day immediately. This is a good choice for those seeking a subtle stone for chores or while reading a book–this is a good choice.
