Blue Dream
The legendary sativa-dominant hybrid crossing Blueberry with Super Silver Haze—the gold standard for balanced, uplifting euphoria.
What is Blue Dream?
Blue Dream is a California-born icon that has become perhaps the most recognized name in modern cannabis. Combining the heavy-hitting body relaxation of Blueberry with the soaring, energetic cerebral effects of Super Silver Haze, it offers a "best of both worlds" experience that appeals to both novices and veterans.
The authentic Santa Cruz clone-only cut is prized for its massive commercial yields and distinctive berry-meets-haze aroma. Unlike many fussy boutique strains, Blue Dream is a vigorous "workhorse" cultivar. It is celebrated for its versatility, functioning effectively as both a daytime productivity booster and a social evening companion.
Terpene Profile
The Blue Dream terpene profile is unmistakable: a sweet, sugary blueberry scent on the inhale with a complex, spicy, and slightly herbal "Haze" finish on the exhale. It is a bright, refreshing aroma that fills a room instantly.
Growing Blue Dream
Blue Dream is famously vigorous. It grows fast and tall, meaning it requires management in indoor settings but thrives under the sun. It is highly resistant to common pests and powdery mildew, making it a "forgiving" strain for those still dialing in their environment.

Commercial Appeal
While newer "designer" strains come and go, Blue Dream remains a dispensary staple. Its high "bag appeal" comes from its large, frosted nugs and a reliable effect profile that customers request by name year after year.
Effects & Experience
The Blue Dream experience is characterized by an immediate "head high" that provides motivation and creative energy, followed eventually by a gentle, relaxing body melt that doesn't cause couch-lock.
