You can't be a true cannabis connoisseur without dabbling in a purple strain here and there.
When opening a fresh package of cannabis, even the most experienced connoisseurs have their breath taken away by the vibrant hues of a dark purple strain. Grinding it up is another satisfying experience where the distinct aromas from the bud’s innards are exposed, hitting your nose with a scent you‘ll never forget.
Purple marijuana is perhaps some of the best weed you can smoke; take it from legendary musicians like Jimi Hendrix and his tune “Purple Haze,” which had a strain named after it. Fast forward to modern-day musicians, tracks like “Purple Swag” by A$AP Rocky and “Green & Purple” by Travis Scott and Playboi Carti continue to celebrate sticky purple kush.
Today, we want to continue that celebration and share our favorite purple strains to exist. See our top picks below and snag them for your next sesh.
