Gas

In cannabis culture, gas refers to elite marijuana strains boasting pronounced fuel-like, pungent aromas that cut through the air. The intense, harsh skunky stench directly suggests extremely high terpene concentrations. Other commonly associated descriptive smell terms signaling gas bud include diesel, skunky, gassy, peppery, sour, ammonia-like and chemy. Gassy strains often contain abundant amounts of terpenes like caryophyllene and myrcene that give them their characteristic eye-watering stench. This overt boldness of fragrance typically implies an equally robust underlying chemical profile conferring uniquely potent euphoric effects. The nose knows. Discerning consumers and industry insiders let their noses lead the way, allowing gassy strains' penetrating aromas serve as telltale indicators of worthwhile bag appeal and memorable experiences. Ultimately, gassy cannabis showcases what becomes possible when optimal genetics, careful cultivation techniques, proper curing procedures, and ideal harvest timing all align to create an olfactory experience that's undeniably loud in all respects.
