Leafly should re-evaluate their description of this strain, particularly the assertion that it is sativa-dominant, as the parents and the high would seem to suggest something closer to about a 60/40 indica-dominant hybrid. Either way, it does have really strong cerebral and psychedelic effects that are more common to sativas, complementing the thoroughly relaxing, warm 'n' fuzzy body high, which lasts an exceptionally long time. As for the smell, the strain lives up to its name and smells strongly and distinctly of oranges, with some earthy and citrus notes as well. The taste is like a not-too-strong orange/lime, but what really makes it unique is that on the exhale the flavor turns to strong pine, like if you could taste how a Christmas tree smells. Orange Crush is a treat to smoke for its high and its flavor, and is useful for most ailments alleviated by cannabis.

I'm not really one to complain about weed, but I only tried this one based on the reviews. This was a middle shelf strain with those basic results. I don't know what people are smoking, but this didn't smell like oranges or taste like oranges or anything citrusy. Maybe I had a bad strain but I suffered through that 1/8
I stopped smoking for a weeks and recently started back. This was my first time smoking Orange Crush and it put me at such calm place
I love this strain because it allows me to think clearly while taking the edge off. I’m able to engage in discussions with people who aren’t waterheads, I can formulate complex equations and I can pen some of most thought-provoking prose either these or anyone else’s eyes have been fortunate enough to read. To illustrate, here’s a big word:
Circumlocution
Highly recommended for social situations. You’ll remain lucid and, save for the occasional bouts of incontinence, you’ll likely find the potential for embarrassment is greatly diminished.
always hits just right!!! i buy carts with orange crush in it and i am absolutely obsesseddddd with the flavour.. like it fr tastes like orange crush!! an absolute fav between me and my friends, always gets us coughing and laughing tho
Not too bad of a strain. The one I sampled had a THC of 14%. I was hoping for more of a orange flavor to this strain. However, it did fall short of what I was wanting. Especially since the last "citrus" strain I had was Tangie and that blew me away. It definitely allowed me to relax a little without the cloudiness of other higher THC content strains. Still fun though.
Super interesting high. So much promise. But it falls short. Let me explain.
It actually FEELS like a tangerine kind of day. It EMOTIONALLY COLOURS your day POSITIVELY. And that is AMAZING. Imagine if you could just shift your EMOTIONS into POSITIVE, SUNNY, EMOTIONS. This would be the strain for you.
But there's a big flaw: it makes you LOSE TRACK of your thoughts with even a minimal dose. So if you thought you could take this and BE POSITIVE, and get work done, I'm afraid you'll have to think again, DUMBASS!!! You will be positive, bordering on MANIC, but you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET WORK DONE because of the FLAW in this bud which is that it makes it TOO HARD to stay on track of your thoughts.
Interestingly, the effects are VERY SIMILAR to a low, half-dose (50microgram dose) of LSD (a non-marijuana based potent Psychedelic), because that compound SIMILARLY makes it impossible to keep track of your thoughts as they wander off, and for the VERY SAME REASON, LSD is not good to work on. LSD is still better to work on than Orange Crush, because Orange Crush moves you into Manic mode more predictably than LSD which does not necessarily move you into manic mode. So it's actually WORSE than LSD on every level, and - let me tell you something - LSD ain't that great for work either, but OC is VERY CLOSE to low-dose LSD. The one thing that makes it better than low-dose LSD is that low-dose LSD lasts 8-15 hours, OC only lasts 4 hours, AND on low-dose LSD it's possible to have a bad trip on low-dose LSD, and on OC, it is not as easy to have a bad trip, it's simply too uplifting. Low-dose LSD can also cause vaso-constriction, whereas OC does not. The only thing that is possible on Orange Crush, because of it's Sativa heritage is to get anxiety and paranoia.
OC reminds me of a favorite TV show: The OC. It feels as positive as that TV show did, which is INCREDIBLE. But again, there's this in build flaw in Orange Crush that starts even at tiny doses. And that 1 flaw screws the bud up off what it could be - which is BEYOND PERFECT.
It does also PUSH YOU INTO A BORDERLINE MANIC STATE IF YOU TAKE TOO MUCH, which is BAD. But if you take the right amount, you're suddenly emotionally positive. Which is MAGIC. And I wish that was the ONLY effect, but alas it effects your ability to do work, which, to me, makes it SO PROMISING, but ultimately USELESS.
If someone could breed the LOSING TRACK OF THOUGHTS MANIC aspect OUT of this bud, I would be in love, as you would now have a bud that JUST shifts your emotions to the right place and does nothing else. You would have THE PERFECT BUD.
But this guy packs that second punch of losing track, and that sucks.
3/5, but it has the potential to be 10/5 if someone could breed the manic lost thoughts out of it.
Absolutely love this strain. Tastes very sweet; hits you like a freight train right when you hit it. Definitely one of my favorites.
