Green Ribbon is a near-even hybrid with a sativa/indica ratio of roughly 50:50, a California native with the genes of Green Crack and something or other – possibly Trainwreck, maybe Afghanica, or perhaps White Rhino.
The effects favor the sativa side, delivering a heady cerebral rush and a boost of energy, along with creativity, happiness, and sociability. Green Ribbon can be an effective tool in treating anxiety, pain, depression, and migraine headaches. Adverse effects include the usual: dry mouth, dry eyes, paranoia, and dizziness. THC contents are reported to reach 20%, making this a particularly potent choice for medical use. But CBD levels are not nearly so high; in fact, they're too low to recommend Green Ribbon to patients who need CBD preparations.
This strain has a pungent aroma and taste with notes of forest, pine trees, and soil. The buds are dark green with dark brown hairs and a decent layer of trichome crystals.
Green Ribbon is relatively easy to find in the United States, both on and off the legal markets, but it's most common on the West Coast and in Arizona.
