Blood Orange

Blood Orange is a sativa-dominant hybrid weed strain (cultivar) that crosses Cali Orange with Appalachia. Known for its vivid flavor of zesty citrus fruits paired with its citrus-forward and spicy aromas, Blood Orange is an energizing strain at 70% sativa and 30% indica lineage.

A strong body buzz and appetite stimulation are two of the most common effects of Blood Orange weed. Blood Orange can credit its appetite-boosting and psychoactive effects to a high THC content (up to 25%) and comparatively low levels of CBD (less than 1%).
