Diesel flavored weed strains

Selecting the best of anything always comes heavily-debated, but when it comes to diesel-flavored cannabis strains, we must always consider the hierarchy. The strains’ individual legacy and impact on the other diesel strains along with their cultural importance and the longevity of each strain’s popularity weigh heavily on the 10 we’ve chosen as the “Best Diesel Strains.”

We can debate the specific order of the best diesel strains for decades but the strains listed below undoubtedly deserve to represent the top of their flavor profile.

1. Sour Diesel

   Sour Diesel puts the “DIESEL” in all of these glorious gassy strains. If you ask a purist, Sour D may be the only true diesel. Its acrid gas fumes and pungent skunkyness have a legacy of smelling loud, drawing attention, and even souring relationships over its scarcity and authenticity. Sour Diesel has been one of the most popular and sought-after strains since the ’90s thanks to its sharp diesel flavors and soaring effects; we went deep on its enduring legacy in our December Leafly HighLight. A quick puff of Sour provides a nice spark and is all you’ll need to understand what diesel strains can be.
