About Pineapple Express

Pineapple Express gained mainstream fame from the 2008 Seth Rogen movie of the same name, but the strain itself is a legitimate hybrid with solid genetics. It crosses Trainwreck with Hawaiian, combining the energizing rush of Trainwreck with the tropical sweetness of Hawaiian landrace genetics. The result is a bright, fruity strain that delivers a reliably happy high.

The aroma hits you first: pineapple, mango, and cedar with a tropical sweetness that smells more like a smoothie than cannabis. THC levels range from 17% to 24%, which is moderate enough for most consumers. The effects are uplifting and social without being intense or anxious. You'll feel energized, happy, and talkative.

Pineapple Express is the strain we recommend at Jungle Kingdom Flower when someone says they want 'something fun.' It doesn't take itself too seriously, and the effects match. It's a crowd-pleaser at parties, a good companion for a walk through Prospect Park, and an easy choice for anyone who wants to feel good without getting glued to the couch. Check our Bed-Stuy and East Williamsburg menus for availability.
