Top 10 Weed Strains Everyone in California Is Smoking Right Now

California doesn’t follow cannabis trends... it creates them.

From Venice rooftops to Riverside lounges, the Golden State keeps rewriting what “good weed” means. 2025 is all about flavor, balanced effects, and brands that hit as hard as they hype.

At Cali Greens, we get a front-row view of what’s actually moving in Temecula, Murrieta, Riverside, and beyond. Here’s the real list — no fluff — of the 10 strains dominating California sessions right now.

1. Lemon Cherry Gelato — STIIIZY

Sweet, citrusy, and unapologetically smooth. This sativa-leaning hybrid delivers an uplifted head high followed by calm focus — the ultimate “get things done but still vibing” strain.

2. Nonstop Flight — Cali Greens

Our house favorite. Complex gas and berry notes lead into an energetic but grounded high that lasts for hours. Born in the IE, built for California speed.

3. Pineapple Express — Rove

Still the king of daytime. Tropical, bright, and creative — this classic sativa remains every hustler’s go-to for clear-headed motivation.

4. Holy Grail — Cali Greens

An indica-dominant hybrid with purpose. Dense buds, bold flavor, and an unwind that melts stress without knocking you out. Think of it as meditation in flower form.

5. Blue Dream — California Classic

You can’t talk West Coast weed without this legend. Sweet blueberry inhale, balanced hybrid effects, and that iconic “everything’s right with the world” energy.

6. Kamikaze — Cali Greens

Full-throttle flavor meets fearless potency. Expect a quick cerebral lift followed by a mellow body glow — the perfect “weekend warrior” strain.

7. Rainbow Blast — Dabwoods

Colorful in flavor and effect, this hybrid bursts with candy sweetness and creativity. The kind of strain that turns a playlist into an experience.

8. Triple Threat — Cali Greens

Three phenos, one mission: balance. Smooth inhale, long-lasting euphoria, and just enough relaxation to take the edge off without losing momentum.

9. Skywalker — Rove

Earthy, rich, and reliable. This indica hits with deep calm and a gentle body buzz — your perfect companion for movie nights or recovery days.

10. Popscotti — Cali Greens

Sweet, creamy dessert strain that tastes like it came out of a pastry case. Euphoric, happy, and soothing from the first exhale — dessert done right.
