Full-spectrum extracts, often called whole plant extracts, maintain the full profile of the cannabis plant. They contain a variety of cannabinoids, including THC, THCa, CBD, CBDa, CBG, and CBN, as well as terpenes and other compounds such as flavonoids, proteins, phenols, sterols, and esters.
These extracts are desirable for several reasons. From an experiential standpoint, they replicate the flavor and aroma profile of the plant. From a therapeutic or medicinal standpoint, you get the full benefits of the entourage effect—the theory that the various components of the plant work synergistically to enhance the action of the active substances, such as THC and CBD.
Full-spectrum extracts are notoriously difficult to produce. While you need to keep as many of the desirable compounds as possible, you also want to rid the extract of unnecessary components. Some extraction methods filter the latter out using a variety of refinement techniques.
Smackerz is an indica dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created through crossing the classic Gorilla Glue #4 X Rozay strains. A classic of indica lovers around the world, Smackerz packs a super delicious flavor and soothing sleepy high that’s a great choice for any late weekday night or lazy weekend afternoon. Much like its parent strains, Smackerz has a sweet fruity flavor that’s accented by touches of spicy herbs and grassy funk. The aroma is very similar, with an earthy woody overtone accented by sweet lemongrass and spicy herbs. The Smackerz high will smack you right in the face a few minutes after your final toke, launching your brain into a state of unfocused heady bliss and happiness. At the same time, a soothing body high will wash over your physical form, slowly growing into full-fledged couchlock. A sharp pang of hunger comes next, leaving you reaching for anything in sight to snack on before you are suddenly hit with a heavy sedation. Thanks to these effects and its super high 32-34% average THC level, Smackerz is often chosen to treat experienced patients suffering from conditions such as chronic pain, insomnia, depression, cramps or muscle spasms and nausea or appetite loss. This bud has long popcorn-shaped dark olive green nugs with deep purple undertones, thin orange hairs and a coating of frosty, purple-tinted white crystal trichomes.
