Runtz Pre-Roll by JAR Cannabis Co.

Created through crossing Gelato and Zkittlez, Runtz is an evenly-balanced hybrid that was named for the flower’s colorful appearance and sweet, candy-like aroma and flavor. Runtz has become a highly sought after strain for smokers who follow cannabis culture which makes it a difficult strain to get your hands on. The high starts with a wave of positivity that immediately improves your mood as worries and negative thoughts fall to the wayside. Reviewers note that the high is relaxing and euphoric, so effects are felt in the head as well as the body. The happy and euphoric effects Runtz produces make it a great choice for those dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain. The sticky buds are coated in resin and have a beautiful color palette of greens, purples, and blues with orange pistils.

Coming out of LA, this strain's candy-like smelling sweetness and colorful nugs lead to its naming. A mix of Zkittlez and Gelato #33, this strain has a smooth flavor that mostly matches the smell, with additional tropical and earthy hints. Runtz is similar to Shark Cake (aka Sharklato), a phenotype of Zkittlez and Gelato that is so popular that it has its own name.

With a few different phenotypes, this hybrid strain can lean to either a more dominant sativa or indica. These nugs produce thick resin layers, making it extremely potent in any form. Perhaps that is why this strain is so elusive.
