Shrieker is a Sativa-dominant (70%) hybrid cannabis strain that originates from a crossbreeding of Miami Haze and The Cube. Limonene is the dominant terpene, followed by caryophyllene, pinene, and myrcene. This strain is best used in the morning, as it comes on with a bang. The THC levels are between 16 and 18%, with CBD at 0.81-0.98%. Though better for more experienced users, the mild THC levels mean it can be fine for new users if taken slowly.

Also referred to as "The Shriek", this weed lives up to its name. The effects hit like a scream in the face as euphoric energy floods the body. Creative motivation dominates the initial high, but then as the mind continues to soar into the ether, the body relaxes into a mild couch-lock.

The bud of this marijuana offers a distinctive spicy herbal taste, with a wonderfully refreshing lemon berry flavor on the exhale. The scent mirrors this with a bit of herbal berry spice and sour lime that ends on an earthy note.
