What Is Cherry Pie?

Cherry Pie is a Bay Area classic that's stayed relevant for over a decade, built on a cross of Granddaddy Purple and Durban Poison. It's a slightly indica-leaning hybrid, best known for sweet, tart cherry flavor and a balanced high — happy and clear-headed up front, settling into comfortable body relaxation without heavy sedation. THC typically runs 16–24%, giving it real strength while staying approachable for most moderate-to-experienced consumers. It's one of the strains we rotate through our New Jersey menu, so availability moves with each drop — the live menu is always the source of truth for what's in stock today.

Indica-Leaning Hybrid

Cherry Pie crosses Granddaddy Purple, a heavy-hitting indica known for deep relaxation and its signature purple hues, with Durban Poison, a pure sativa landrace known for an uplifting, energizing effect and sweet aroma. The pairing balances GDP's calming body effect against Durban Poison's brighter, clear-headed lift.

Appearance & Cultivation Notes

We source our Cherry Pie from cultivators who bring out its signature deep purple coloration and dense bud structure. Expect compact, resin-heavy buds with bright orange pistils and, depending on the phenotype and growing conditions, notable purple hues throughout.

Start with one small inhale, then wait a full 15 minutes before taking more with flower or vape. With edibles, wait two full hours before redosing. This is general information, not medical advice — individual tolerance and body chemistry vary.

  • Dense, resin-coated bud structure with visible trichome frost
  • Sourced from growers who preserve the strain's signature cherry-forward terpene profile through careful curing
  • Every batch lab-tested for potency and purity before it reaches your order
  • Storage: Keep Cherry Pie in a cool, dark, airtight container. Proper storage preserves both its potency and its distinctive cherry aroma over time.
