Orangeade strain effects 

Orangeade creeps in slowly, getting progressively stronger the more you consume. It starts with an energizing head high that leaves you elevated and with a heightened sense of creativity before easing you into a body high that fills you with relaxation and calm. In lower doses, you’ll be relatively productive and able to maintain focus. In larger amounts, you can expect couchlock to creep in. 

Many cannabis users found the Orangeade strain effects helped ease symptoms associated with depression, stress, anxiety, and body aches and pains. The hybrid is also a great appetite booster and mood enhancer. But be warned: this strain can lead to intense munchies, cottonmouth, and even anxiety or paranoia. Beginners can also quickly become overwhelmed by its creeping, long-lasting effects. Smoke with caution and avoid overconsumption by pacing yourself and keeping doses small.

Flavors & Smell 

Orangeade lives up to its name with a distinct and refreshing burst of sweet and sour citrus. Its aroma is bold orange or tangerine, with the sweetness of grapes and the herbal woodiness of cedar. Its flavor blends the crispier notes with hints of fresh pine and floral undertones to serve up a smooth, full-bodied smoke that some may find cough-inducing (but all will find delicious). 

Orangeade’s terpenes are remarkable for more than just flavor, though. Its dominant terpene, Limonene, gives it that strong lemon/citrus presence and is also an immunostimulant, antidepressant, and antifungal. Caryophyllene is a natural anti-inflammatory with woody pine flavors. And humulene, bringing those herbal notes, is regarded for its pain-relieving properties.
