About Runtz

Runtz is a cross between Zkittlez and Gelato, bred by the Runtz crew in Los Angeles. It won Leafly's Strain of the Year in 2020 and has since become one of the most in-demand strains in legal cannabis. The name comes from the candy: this strain genuinely tastes like fruity sweets, and the aroma is sweet enough to make your mouth water.

With THC levels between 24% and 29%, Runtz is potent. The high is remarkably balanced, though: a strong euphoria and sense of well-being come first, followed by a warm body relaxation that builds gradually. Unlike some heavy hitters, Runtz doesn't crash you into the couch immediately. You'll feel happy, creative, and physically comfortable, with sedation only kicking in at higher doses or later in the session.

Runtz is one of those strains that converts skeptics. People who say they don't like cannabis often change their minds after tasting it, and experienced consumers appreciate its potency and complexity. We carry it at Jungle Kingdom Flower whenever our suppliers have it available. Demand is high, so check our online menu at both the Bed-Stuy and East Williamsburg locations before making the trip.

Common Questions

Runtz FAQ

Why is Runtz so expensive?+
Runtz commands premium pricing because of limited supply, high demand, and the cost of growing it properly. The plant is relatively difficult to cultivate, requiring precise environmental controls. Its popularity also means dispensaries can charge more because consumers specifically seek it out.
What does Runtz taste like?+
Runtz tastes remarkably like fruity candy. The primary flavors are sweet tropical fruit and berry with a creamy finish. The Zkittlez parent provides the candy sweetness while Gelato adds the cream and richness. It's one of the best-tasting strains in any dispensary.
Is White Runtz different from regular Runtz?+
White Runtz is a phenotype of the original Runtz that emphasizes frosty white trichome coverage and slightly different terpene expression. The effects are similar but White Runtz tends to lean slightly more sedating. Both share the same Zkittlez x Gelato parentage.
