Hippie Crippler
Also known as: Hippy Crippler
Overview
Hippie Crippler is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the Pacific Northwest as a cross between AK-47 and Blue Satellite. Despite its intimidating name, this strain is celebrated for delivering an uplifting and clear-headed experience rather than the debilitating effects one might expect. The strain has gained significant recognition in cannabis circles for its unique balance of energizing cerebral effects combined with physical relaxation, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage. The buds are characterized by their dense, popcorn-like structure with light green coloration, prominent orange pistils, and a heavy coating of crystalline trichomes that give them a frosty, glistening appearance. Hippie Crippler is known for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, piney, and skunky base notes with bright citrus undertones and hints of sweetness. The strain's terpene profile is dominated by myrcene, complemented by terpinolene, pinene, and ocimene, which contribute to both its distinctive scent and therapeutic properties.
