Runtz Strain: Sugary Aroma with a Sweet Creamy Taste
The Runtz strain, also known as "Runtz OG," is an incredibly popular hybrid created by Cookies. It has been used to make several fire crossbreeds like Banana Runtz and Dirty Runtz, among others. At our Shoreline dispensary, we carry multiple Runtz crossbred strains. You can find Pink Runtz, Trophy Runtz, Space Runtz, and more in flower or pre-roll form in store.
What is a hybrid strain? Most flower on the market is some kind of hybrid, including popular strains like OG Kush, Girl Scout Cookies, White Widow, and Wedding Cake. To make a hybrid, growers mix indica and sativa strains and it produces plants that have certain desirable traits, resulting in a range of cannabis experiences.
Runtz Strain
The Runtz strain is made from Gelato #33 x Zkittlez. It has a sugary smell and sweet taste to match. It is highly beloved, being named Leafly’s ‘Strain of the Year’ in 2020. It gets its sweetness from the Zkittlez side and contains around 19% THC, making it a great mid-high shelf strain.
The nugs are drenched in resin, and the color of the nugs ranges from purple to lime green. Additionally, it has a sweet candy scent that when smoked, produces an equally sweet and creamy smoke.

Runtz Strain Effects
Many say the Runtz strain provides a relaxing high and can help with reducing pain, nausea, and stress. Additionally, many consumers report feeling talkative, happy, sleepy, and hungry after smoking the strain. Because of its relaxing nature, it may be great to smoke before a party or gathering to potentially ease social anxiety or to smoke at night to help with sleep. If you choose to smoke before a gathering, make sure to find someone to drive you there.
“I love this strain! Makes me feel uplifted, giddy, and productive. I feel it more in the back of my head than the front which I like. It gives me a good buzz without affecting my thinking and function. Would definitely recommend.”
