It features a THC level of 18-21% along with a CBD content of 0.28-0.56%. The breeder of Ice is Nirvana Seeds, which is one of the largest growers in the industry. It is based in the Netherlands.
The strain has got its name due to white dense trichomes, which cover the buds and look like clouds. It has gained immense popularity and was a winner of the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1998.
Strain Smell and Taste
Since the strain is a Skunk type in its lineage, this means it has a diesel smell. Consumers can also expect an earthy, chemical, and spice taste. Some consumers find woody, berry, and mint flavors that spread across with smoke. These strong and specific flavors are suitable for specific types of users.
The Most Common Effects
The strain can be used occasionally and for short time periods due to its potency. It is strong and provides all effects and benefits immediately. Users can experience happiness, relaxation, euphoria, increased focus, and uplifted feelings.
Ice is rich in terpenes (myrcene, limonene, and humulene) that help people who are depressed and sad, but high feelings are not long-lasting and soon start to decline. This weed type is good for evening and nighttime use.
In addition to multiple bonuses for recreational users, Ice is packed with various medical benefits. The smoke spreads through the air channels in the lungs and relieves the symptoms of asthma. The strain shows impressive results in treating chronic pain, depression, stress, gastrointestinal disorders, and insomnia. It stimulates appetite and reduces inflammation. Therapists recommend this marijuana type to ease the symptoms of muscular dystrophy, hypertension, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

- low blood pressure;

- dry mouth;
- headaches;

Good buzz, good smell. And the taste is more than awesome. Its fantastic. No harshness at all.
the taste is insanely fuel when vaped
This strain is easy to grow. My outdoor plants are amazing. I topped them several times and now theyre nice bushes. Btw Ice hits fast! This stuff can put u right to sleep if u are a newbie. The bud hit me like a shotgun and sent me to sleep.
A stunning hybrid. Makes me pain-free, good for meditation
Ice is good overall. No paranoia or anxiety. Swoop up the flower if you like chemical odors.
Im always trying new strains, but this one and Dogwalker OG have a special place in my heart. I like diesel and earthy flavors. Very uplifting and relaxing! Perfect before bed or going out with friends, but you can function in the day if you need, too.
